Offshore Drilling Contractor Transocean Obtained Contract Extensions for Two of Its Drill Ships Working for Petrobras

Transocean said on Wednesday (18) that Petrobras exercised a pre-existing fixed-price option of 680 days for the Deepwater Corcovado, and a pre-existing fixed-price option of 815 days for the drill ship Deepwater Mykonos.

Together, these contract extensions add approximately US$ 297 million to Transocean’s backlog. Both rigs will continue operating in Brazil and are subject to annual indexing escalations of daily rates. The initial contracts for the two drill ships were awarded in March 2019.

The Deepwater Corcovado was awarded a contract for 629 days, while Mykonos secured a contract for 550 days, plus options that have already been exercised.

The estimated firm contract backlog was approximately $123 million for Corcovado and $118 million for Mykonos.

This is not the first time the two drill ships have worked in Brazil with Petrobras. Petrobras also utilized the two drill ships in 2012, while they were still owned by Ocean Rig before being acquired by Transocean.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

“No one will make us change the Pix,” says Lula after the US report.

In just three hours, a natural stone floor transforms the entrance of the house with an organic effect, immediate drainage, and a sophisticated non-slip finish that doesn’t puddle water, dries quickly, and impresses with the final result.

New technology with lights is being tested in the most dangerous stretch of Serra do Mar in Paraná to alert drivers, reduce delayed reactions, and try to curb the rise in deaths on the highway.

Alert in the global energy market: Severe tropical cyclone hits the coast and disrupts gas production at major plants in Australia, threatening global supply.

“No one will make us change the Pix,” says Lula after the US report.

He started running at 66 years old, broke records at 82, and is now a subject of study for having a metabolic age comparable to that of a 20-year-old, in a case that is intriguing scientists and inspiring the world.

Less than a Tera TSI, up to 710 km of range and charging in 9 minutes: the new BYD Song Ultra expands the Chinese brand’s bet on increasingly faster, more technological, and competitively priced electric SUVs.

With a cost per shot close to zero, the DragonFire laser could change naval warfare in 2027 and provide British ships with nearly unlimited defense against drones.

A British startup creates tires that generate electricity in electric vehicles when passing over potholes, speed bumps, and cracks.
