SINGAPORE--A unit of Keppel Corp. secured a $225 million contract to build an offshore rig for U.K. drilling firm Ensco PLC, Keppel said in a Tuesday announcement.

The KFELS B Class Bigfoot jackup rig, to be completed in the first quarter of 2015, can operate in depths up to 400 feet and drill to 30,000 feet deep, the company said.

The contract isn't expected to have a material impact on Keppel's earnings per share for the current financial year, the company said.
