EnscoRowan in Brazil
Ensco 6002, which is chartered by Petrobras until December 2019, is the only rig from EnscoRowan operating in the Brazilian Offshore.
In the early 2000s, Ensco signed four contracts with Petrobras, and the Ensco 6002 is the only one still in effect.
Regarding Rowan, the company does not have contracts with the Brazilian oil company, but they have done business; in January of last year, the driller purchased jack-ups P-69 and P-60 from Petrobras.
The drilling market was recently stirred by another major merger; at the end of last year, Transocean acquired Ocean Rig, creating a new company with a fleet of 57 rigs.
