The New Rig from the Project Signed Between Petrobras and Diamond Offshore is Called Ocean Courage and the Value of the Agreement Exceeds US$ 400 Million

As the fundamentals of the offshore drilling market continue to improve, Diamond Offshore signed a contract for a new drilling program with Petrobras in Brazil for the Ocean Courage rig.

In its Q3 2022 report on Monday, Diamond Offshore stated that the semi-submersible platform Ocean Courage received a four-year contract with a priced option for an additional four years.

The total estimated investment for the project is approximately US$ 429 million, including a mobilization fee and the provision of certain additional services.

Contract Expected to be Signed Soon

The new contract is expected to be signed soon by Petrobras and Diamond and to take effect at the end of the fourth quarter of 2023 following the completion of the current offshore rig contract and the new contract preparations. The rig built in 2009 has been working for Petrobras since June 2021.

Bernie Wolford, Jr., President and CEO, says: “This agreement is a testament to the exceptional performance of our teams and allows Diamond to continue serving the world’s largest deep-water drilling operator. This program is an addition to the US$ 1.6 billion backlog we reported on October 1, 2022.”

The drilling revenue from the contracted rig of Diamond Offshore and Petrobras for the third quarter totaled US$ 190 million compared to US$ 177 million in the second quarter of 2022.

The increase in revenue was particularly driven by the start of work on the Ocean BlackHawk for Woodside in Senegal during the quarter, with both the Ocean Apex and the Ocean Patriot benefiting from a full quarter of utilization, and the Ocean Patriot operating under the terms of a contract extension with a favorable daily rate increase.

These increases in contract drilling earnings for Diamond were partially offset by the completion of the Ocean Onyx contract in Australia, which is currently stacked in Western Australia, while the company continues to seek prospects in the region.

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.

Petrobras reaffirms its commitment to the market and ensures that it will carry out the energy transition safely to maintain national sovereignty.

A study reveals the expansion of renewable energy procurement in Brazil and shows how companies are taking advantage of opportunities to reduce expenses, ensure energy efficiency, and strengthen strategic environmental commitments.

Measuring just 3 cm and with skin that resembles a starry sky, the “galaxy frog” lives hidden in the mountains of India and is one of the rarest and most enigmatic species in the forests of the Western Ghats.

Archaeologists have discovered a mysterious, narrow, and unusual underground tunnel in Saxony-Anhalt within a prehistoric enclosure, and the most striking detail is that it was intentionally sealed.

Petrobras reaffirms its commitment to the market and ensures that it will carry out the energy transition safely to maintain national sovereignty.

A study confirms that the natural gas sector will reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Brazil by 0.5% and accelerate the energy transition by 2026.

Petrobras implements a severe adjustment and confirms a 55% increase in the price of aviation kerosene with a proposal for installment payments for the companies.

The German economist Wolf-Peter Schill has no doubts: “Electric cars are already far superior to cars with internal combustion engines.”

Researchers discover a possible hydrogen deposit of up to 46 million tons beneath an ancient coal basin, and the volume could exceed half of the entire global production.

With almost 70 meters in width at the stern and a shape resembling a “giant slice of cheese,” the Ramform Titan tows up to 24 seismic cables to sweep the ocean floor in 3D and reveal oil reserves hidden beneath kilometers of sediment.

With a length of 225 meters and a capacity of 76 thousand tons, this ship “sinks” its own deck down to 28 meters deep to accommodate war destroyers, oil platforms, and giant radars floating above, and then emerges with everything intact on top like a colossal tray crossing oceans.
