Therefore, the offshore drilling player emphasizes that these contracts, which are set to commence in the fourth quarter of 2024, have a total contract value of approximately US$ 1.1 billion, including additional services and mobilization fees.

Seadrill President Simon Johnson Comments on Drillship Contracts

Simon Johnson, President and CEO of Seadrill, commented: ‘We secured long-term contracts for West Auriga and West Polaris along with our four high-specification drillships already in operation in Brazil.

‘Petrobras is an important and longstanding customer of Seadrill. We are excited to expand our contractual relationship with them and increase our number of rigs in this important region.’

West Auriga and West Polaris will transition to Seadrill from the existing third-party managers, Diamond Offshore and Vantage Drilling, before carrying out campaigns with Petrobras.

Technical Details of the Drillships

The 2013-built West Auriga is a dual activity ultra-deepwater drillship from Samsung 12,000, seventh generation, with capacity to accommodate 200 people. Although the rig is capable of operating in water depths of 12,000 feet, its maximum drilling depth is 37,500 feet.

On the other hand, the West Polaris is a sixth generation Samsung 10,000 dual activity drillship, which comes with the capability to work in water depths of up to 10,000 feet. This rig has a maximum drilling depth of 37,500 feet and can accommodate 200 people.

Expansion of Seadrill Platform Fleet

Seadrill has been working to secure new jobs for its platform fleet. At the end of November 2023, the company confirmed additional work for two other drillships in the Gulf of Mexico, USA.

Expansion of Seadrill Platform Fleet

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

With over 15,000 tons, radars capable of tracking hundreds of targets simultaneously, and more than 120 missiles ready for launch in seconds, modern destroyers cease to be escorts and begin to dominate the naval battlefield.

The radio has been in more than half of Brazilian households for decades, and in 2024, for the first time in history, the number of households without a device surpassed those with a device, with a decrease of 2.3 million in just one year.

China banned the export of 22 tons of meat from Argentina.

Scientists create a semiconductor that mimics the human brain using hydrogen and boost a new generation of smart chips with learning capabilities and the potential to revolutionize artificial intelligence applications.

USA and China compete for Brazil over resources that could be worth trillions — rare earths put the country at the center of a global dispute

Motorola launched the Signature with a gold seal from DxOMark, tying with the iPhone 17 Pro in camera performance, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 that surpassed 3 million in benchmarks, and a zoom that impresses even at night.

Satellites reveal beneath the Sahara a giant river buried for thousands of kilometers: study shows that the largest hot desert on the planet was once traversed by a river system comparable to the largest on Earth.

The government requests the Federal Revenue Service for a new system to automate the income tax declaration, reducing errors, time, and bureaucracy for millions of Brazilians.

With 74% of companies facing difficulties in hiring, technicians and engineers in renewable energy are becoming scarce in Brazil and are essential to support the expansion of solar, wind, and green hydrogen projects.
