Songa Mercur was 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 ft.

In May 2006, Songa Offshore signed a nine-month contract with Chevron to use the rig in Australia. A contract was later signed with Santos Limited, which was originally nine months and was extended to a year and then a year and a half. In 2013, the rig was contracted by Idemitsu Oil and Gas for drilling off Vietnam. | access-date= 13 March 2014}}
