(WO) – Transocean has secured roughly $89 million in new agency backlog after operators in Brazil, Norway and Romania exercised contract choices on three of its floating rigs, the corporate introduced.
In Brazil, Petrobras exercised a 90-day choice on the Deepwater Mykonos, persevering with the ultra-deepwater drillship straight into its subsequent marketing campaign. The extension is anticipated to contribute about $33 million to backlog.
In Norway, a two-well choice was exercised for the Transocean Enabler, a harsh-environment semisubmersible, at a dayrate of $453,000, excluding further providers.
In the meantime, in Romania, OMV Petrom exercised a one-well choice for the Transocean Barents, one other harsh-environment semi, at a dayrate of $480,000 per day.
Transocean at present operates a fleet of 27 floating drilling items, together with 20 ultra-deepwater floaters and 7 harsh-environment rigs. The corporate stated the brand new fixtures reinforce continued demand for high-specification rigs throughout key offshore basins.
