RE: THE RIG IS ON THE GO! NEXT STOP CAMEROON 🚀20 Apr 2026 16:17
Rig Contract DetailsIn June 2025, Tower issued a Letter of Award (LoA) to ADES (Advanced Energy Systems, affiliate of ADES Holding) for a jackup rig to drill Njom-3.
Original proposed rig: Admarine 510 (2019-built GustoMSC CJ-46-X100-D, three-legged jackup, water depth capability up to 375 ft).
Planned sequence: Drill Njom-3 for Tower first, then move to Addax Petroleum work (also in Cameroon).
Due to Saudi Aramco recalling Admarine 510 for work starting in 2026, ADES switched to Admarine 501 to fulfill the Cameroon commitments (including Tower's well and Addax program). This provides the rig with visibility for up to ~2 years in the region once mobilized from Nigeria.
