The daily rate for the rig during this extension will be reduced to around US$ 230,000, according to Petróleo Hoje. Initially, Petrobras was paying US$ 460,000 per day, according to VesselsValue, but reduced the contract amount to US$ 330,000 per day after negotiations began in the second half of 2020.
The agreement was signed earlier this month and will see the rig operate exclusively on the Búzios project during the extension period. The Etesco Takatsugu J has been operating with Petrobras since February 2012. It is currently the only rig operated by Etesco in Brazil.
