     <p>A contract extension worth some NOK 100 million for production wells on Statoil’s Heidrun field in the Norwegian Sea has been awarded to Prosafe Drilling Services.</p> 
     <p>Representing the exercise of a one-year option with the contractor, this order also includes a further option for another 12 months.</p>
