A New Milestone for Brazilian Offshore Begins in April 2025!

The ETESCO has just taken a giant step in the national offshore sector by officially launching the Jack-up platform ARABIA I, now under the command of Petrobras! The start of operations took place in April 2025, and promises to shake up the maritime drilling market.

This achievement symbolizes not only the consolidation of ETESCO in the Brazilian oil and gas sector, but also reinforces its commitment to safety, efficiency, and operational innovation offshore.

The platform was welcomed with enthusiasm, resulting from a solid partnership with Petrobras and the trust of Borr Drilling, which entrusted ETESCO with the operation of this valuable asset.
