The Semi-Submersible ODN Delba III Is No Longer with Ocyan (Formerly Odebrecht), Now the Rig Belongs to the Dutch Group OOS, Famous for Having UMS

The former Odebrecht oil and gas announced on Friday (10/18) the sale of the semi-submersible rig ODN Delba III to the Dutch OOS, which typically operates by chartering its fleets here in Brazil. Last week (10/17), in fact, Petrobras Awarded An Excellence Classification to OOS’s Flotel Tiradentes.

The transaction was only possible because OOS facilitated the operation with a conglomerate of Mexican financing banks for drilling units led by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

New Player in the Drilling Market?

It is still not possible to ascertain whether the deal will mark OOS’s entry into the drilling segment; the group is recognized for the operation of its UMS (Maintenance and Safety Units), more commonly known as flotels.
OOS can carry out renovation works on the rig and use it as a flotel instead of using it as a drilling rig in Mexico, where the equipment is in demand.

Despite lacking experience in the drilling segment, OOS can seize opportunities and acquire more units that are for sale in the Brazilian market.

The Delba III had been idle for two months in Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro, since it completed its contract with Petrobras in 2012. The rig was initially owned by Delba, but the Brazilian company, after facing issues, transferred it to Odebrecht, now Ocyan.

The Delba III has the capacity to operate in water depths of 2,400 meters and will leave Brazil by the end of the year.
All Ocyan (formerly Odebrecht) rigs are chartered to Petrobras; however, with the sale of the semi-submersible, Ocyan now has five deep-water rigs in its portfolio, consisting of four drillships (Norbe VIII, Norbe XIX, ODN I, and ODN II) and only one semi-submersible, the Norbe VI.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

In Niger, mud buildings have stood for ten generations while the world spends billions on concrete and steel, now African architects are proving at the Venice Biennale and in real projects that red earth can be the smartest and most sustainable building material of the 21st century.

Grey seal pups were appearing with terrifying marks on Sable Island, and after decades of speculation about sharks and boat propellers, scientists discovered that the danger came from where it was least expected: adult males of their own species during the breeding season.

People are leaving traditional builds that take months and can cost more than R$ 2,500 per sqm, to invest in shipping containers that become 119 sqm modular homes, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large kitchen, and glass walls, almost ready to live on the plot.

New selection confirmed: The Merchant Marine Entrance Exam offers 368 vacancies for Officer training in 2027 with free course, online applications, and EFOMM’s national selection process.

Italy opens the Grottino del Campidoglio in Rome with 3,000 m² of tunnels sealed by Mussolini in 1929 and over $2.8 million in restoration after almost a century closed.
