Maersk Drilling's second and third ultra deepwater drillships were named Thursday morning in a ceremony held at the Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) shipyard in Geoje-Si, South Korea. Lisa Lance, wife of Ryan M. Lance, chairman and chief executive officer, ConocoPhillips, had the honour of naming Maersk Valiant, and Annell R.
