The Offshore Oil And Gas Market Promises To Be Revived In 2022 With The Return Of Drilling Contracts With Petrobras And Other Oil Companies

Considered by many oil workers to be one of the best offshore multinational companies in the world to work for, Ensco Valaris has its drillship DS-4 back in Brazilian waters for services to Petrobras. The minimum operation time will be 1 year and 6 months starting this year in the pre-salt.

The drillship was docked in the United Kingdom, idle waiting for a contract (or in warm stacked). Now it is at the Port of Las Palmas, in the Canary Islands, with maintenance and reactivation already completed, and is about to head to Brazil.

Worker of the DS-4 drillship from Ensco Valaris 2 — “I am happy to announce that we will be busy carrying out the reactivation on the Valaris DS-4, at the port of Las Palmas, which will operate in Brazil. It looks like we will have a lot of work in 2022 for the Brazilian oil and gas sector.” (Jan Hack, CEO of BiBlue Brokers)

The company arrived in Brazil in 2001 and was called Pride International. In 2011, the company changed its name to Ensco and operated under this name until 2019 when it changed its name to Valaris for restructuring purposes.
