The values of the agreement between Petrobras and Seadrill were around US$ 170 million, which represented a daily rate of about US$ 235 thousand.

Seadrill is a deepwater drilling contractor for the oil industry. It is incorporated in Bermuda and managed from London. The company operates semi-submersible platforms, drilling rigs, and drillships.

In addition to the unit contracted by Petrobras, Seadrill had another one, the West Saturn, providing services for Equinor, but the contract ended and it left the country.

It is rumored in the market that Seadrill presented a better proposal in an ExxonMobil tender, but this fact has not yet received official confirmation.

The Asset

The Uirapuru field in the Santos basin is operated by Petrobras, which has as partners Petrogal, with 14%, Equinor (28%) and ExxonMobil (28%).
The planning of the drillship campaign foresees only one drilling in the area, to be immediately transferred to other areas of the Brazilian oil company.
