"Since our initial investment in Discovery Offshore in January 2011, the fundamentals of the offshore drilling industry have strengthened, and demand for ultra high-specification jackup rigs remains exceptionally strong," said John T. Rynd, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hercules Offshore. "Once delivered in 2013, these rigs will be among the most technically capable jackups worldwide, servicing a growing niche market that requires the advanced capabilities these rigs can provide. Initial discussions with customers confirm our confidence in the rig design, and the robust demand that we anticipate for these rigs for the foreseeable future."

Discovery Offshore currently has two ultra high-specification jackup rigs under construction at Keppel FELS in Singapore, with delivery scheduled during the second and fourth quarter of 2013.
