RE: "Oryx, USX-Marathon Group (MRO - news) and Murphy Oil Corp (MUR - news) have signed a five year deal with Noble
Drilling Corp (NE - news) for a semisubmersible rig capable of drilling in water depths of up to 6,000 feet.

The company said the rigs would be delivered in the second quarter of 1999."

Does anyone know what rig this is? To the best of my knowledge, Noble doesn't have semisubs that are not already contracted.

Is this a 6th EVA 4000 conversion?

Any ideas what the Dayrate would be for this 5 year contract?

TIA
