The Confirmation of Offshore Drilling by Drillship by Seadrill Came This Week, and the Work Will Be Carried Out Together with Petrobras

The offshore drilling contractor Seadrill confirmed that one of its drillships has begun its mission at an offshore field in Brazil with the country’s oil and gas giant, Petrobras.

In November 2021, Seadrill secured two contracts with Petrobras for its West Carina and West Tellus platforms to operate in the Búzios offshore field in Brazil.

At that time, Seadrill explained that both contracts were signed with a fixed term of three years and that the platforms were to start working for Petrobras in September 2022.

The West Tellus from Seadrill, built in 2013, is a sixth-generation DP3 offshore drilling ship, constructed by the Samsung shipyard in South Korea. It can accommodate 200 people.

This offshore drillship from Seadrill began its contract with Petrobras only a week after the West Jupiter drillship did the same.

More about ships: Shell plans that by the last drop of oil from the company leaves Brazil. The multinational has 14 active drilling ships, another 3 already contracted, and an additional 3 planned for incorporation in the future.

Having been in Brazil for 110 years, Shell stated that it intends to explore on its platforms “until the last drop of oil” in Brazilian territory, while also planning to complete the energy transition to renewable sources, according to Broadcast.

To conclude this company’s planning, Shell’s president in Brazil, Cristiano Pinto da Costa, aims to expedite licenses for investments in oil and gas exploration platforms, in addition to accelerating the regulatory framework process for offshore wind energy.

According to Shell’s president, Brazil is a priority country for the oil company. In charge of Shell since August 2022, Pinto da Costa has an 18-year career at the company, even working at its headquarters in London before returning to Brazil in 2018.
