The Songa Mercur is a semi-submersible drilling rig designed by Friede & Goldman, ex Shelf 10 and La Muralla. It is capable of drilling in water up to a depth of 1200 feet.[2][3][4]

In May 2006 Songa Offshore signed a nine-month contract with Chevron to use the rig in Australia.[5] A contract was later signed with Santos Ltd., which was originally nine months and was extended to a year and then a year and a half.[2][6]
