Seadrill Partners has banked $248m from its court case involving the early termination of the drilling rig West Leo.
“This is a wonderful result for Seadrill," said Glenn Kangisser, partner at Haynes and Boone CDG representing Seadrill.
The subsidiary of John Fredriksen's restructured Seadrill was awarded $273m earlier this month by the UK high court for Tullow Oil's ending of the unit's contract.
