Transocean于2023年3月29日星期三宣布了其兩個惡劣環(huán)境的半潛式鉆井平臺的合同固定裝置，這意味著約1.13億美元的公司合同積壓。
Transocean首席執(zhí)行官Jeremy Thigpen表示：“這些固定資產進一步證明了這種周期性復蘇的力度，尤其是對我們惡劣的環(huán)境資產而言。”
據(jù)該公司稱，Transocean Endurance鉆井平臺在澳大利亞與一家未公開的獨立運營商簽訂了一份多井封堵和廢棄合同。預計240天的合同將于2024年1月開始。
Transocean解釋說，該合同將產生約9100萬美元的積壓，不包括動員費，同時還提供了一系列選擇，有可能在2025年第四季度將鉆機留在澳大利亞。
2015年建造的Transocean Endurance是GVA 4000 NCS設計的半潛式鉆機。它可以容納130人。該鉆機的最大鉆孔深度為27887英尺。
關于另一個鉆井平臺的合同延期，該公司強調，Wintershall Dea在挪威的Transocean Norge鉆井平臺上行使了一口井的選擇權。這預計將于2023年5月開始，比現(xiàn)有的60天期限提前，并造成約2200萬美元的積壓。
早在2022年9月，Wintershall Dea和OMV兩家石油和天然氣公司與Transocean達成獨家合作關系，在2023年至2027年期間，該鉆井平臺在挪威獲得了一份17口井的合同，日費率在350000美元至430000美元之間。
越洋挪威第六代莫斯海事CS60半潛式鉆井平臺在新加坡裕廊造船廠建造。該鉆機可容納150人，最大鉆井深度為40000英尺。
Thigpen總結道：“再加上最近宣布的Transocean Enabler和Transocean Promotion獎，我們的高規(guī)格惡劣環(huán)境車隊增加了4.94億美元的積壓訂單。”。

Offshore drilling contractor Transocean has secured a new contract and an extension for two semi-submersible rigs in Australia and Norway.
Transocean announced contract fixtures for two of its harsh environment semi-submersible rigs on Wednesday, 29 March 2023, representing approximately $113 million in firm contract backlog.
Jeremy Thigpen, Transocean’s Chief Executive Officer, remarked: “These fixtures represent additional evidence of the strength of this cyclical recovery, notably for our harsh environment assets.”
According to the firm, the Transocean Endurance rig was awarded a multi-well plug and abandonment contract in Australia with an undisclosed independent operator. The estimated 240-day contract is expected to start in January 2024.
Transocean explains that the contract will contribute approximately $91 million in backlog, excluding fees for mobilisation while also providing a series of options, potentially keeping the rig in Australia through the fourth quarter of 2025.
The 2015-built Transocean Endurance is a semi-submersible rig of GVA 4000 NCS design. It can accommodate 130 people. The rig’s maximum drilling depth is 27,887 ft.
Regarding the contract extension for another rig, the firm highlights that Wintershall Dea exercised a one-well option on the Transocean Norge rig for operations in Norway. This is expected to begin in May 2023 ahead of the existing firm term for 60 days and contribute approximately $22 million in backlog.
Back in September 2022, the rig secured a 17-well contract in Norway at day rates between $350,000 and $430,000 after two oil and gas companies, Wintershall Dea and OMV, entered into an exclusive partnership with Transocean for the use of this rig for the drilling of all firm and additional potential wells in the period 2023 to 2027.
The Transocean Norge sixth-generation Moss Maritime CS60 semi-submersible rig was constructed at Jurong Shipyard in Singapore. This rig can accommodate 150 people and its maximum drilling depth is 40,000 ft.
“Coupled with the awards for the Transocean Enabler and Transocean Encourage that were recently announced, we have added an incremental $494 million in backlog from our high-specification harsh environment fleet,” concluded Thigpen.
