Our 13 operating rigs provided solid EBITDA and positive cash flows in the quarter . The cash position is further positively impacted by the sale of our integrated well services joint ventures and streamlining our Mexico operations . Since our last report in August , we have continued adding backlog with currently 17 rigs being contracted or committed which will lead to three additional warm stacked rigs being activated . We see stronger customer demand for our rigs through a higher frequency of commercial discussions and tendering in recent months . Coupled with the increase in recent tenders for multi - year , multi - rig contracts , this leads us to expect utilization levels to improve rapidly . Our strong operational performance , customer reach and fleet availability uniquely places Borr Drilling in a position to benefit from this strengthening market and we remain on track to fully contract our fleet of 23 delivered rigs by 2022 . Management has continued its engagement with various creditors with the aim to address the 2023 debt maturities . Currently we are in advanced discussions with one of the significant creditors , having arrived at a commonly understood framework to extend commitments substantially beyond 2023. This is subject to certain conditions , including board approval of each respective company as well as reaching acceptable concessions from other creditor groups . With a continued increase in the number of active rigs and an upward adjustment of the 2022 E & P capex budgets , we are confident in our ability to further improve our financial performance . This improvement will also provide a foundation ultimately leading to a solution for the 2023 maturities that will benefit all stakeholders .
