The Mako is on long-term contract, and will initially complete a short development drilling programme on the Bualuang Alpha Platform.

Salamander will then be using the rig to drill two exploration prospects in the Greater Bualuang area ahead of an extended development drilling campaign from the Bualuang Bravo platform from the end of October.
