The unit belongs to Constellation, which will provide oil services to Enauta in the Atlanta field

Yesterday (26), after a period of adaptation to operate in the Atlanta Field, owned by Enauta, the semi-submersible rig Alpha Star, owned by Constellation Oil Services, left Bahia de Guanabara towards the logistics point, where it will receive fluids, equipment, products and materials for drilling and completing the first of three wells in that field.

On the way, she proudly paraded in front of Leme and Copacabana beaches, posing for the eyes of onlookers and colleagues.

In a few more days, the unit will sail another 100 miles to Atlanta, for the start of the Enauta campaign.
