The Brazilian Oil Company Petrobras Extended a Contract with Seadrill for the Use of the Drillship West Tellus

To provide services to Petrobras, Seadrill announced on Monday (04) that the contract will be with the drillship West Tellus. The Seadrill rig is a 6th generation DP3 drillship rated for 3,600 m depth. It was built in 2013 by the Samsung shipyard in South Korea.

According to the offshore drilling contractor, the contract is expected to be valued at approximately US $ 170 million, including managed pressure drilling and ancillary services. This amount sets the daily rate at around US $ 230,000, which is lower compared to the previous daily rate of the platform of US $ 317,000 (as reported in the Seadrill fleet status report). See here for more details.

The contract is expected to start in Q4 2019, as a direct continuation of its current contract with Petrobras.

Searching the Seadrill Careers page today, we did not find opportunities in Brazil, only in the Gulf of Mexico region, Houston, Malaysia, India, Canada, Singapore, and Dubai. The advantage of this company is that it hires regardless of nationality, as long as the candidate meets the necessary requirements and qualifications.

A recent example of this statement is that rigs from Transocean have recently arrived in Brazil to drill in Petrobras campaigns in Mero, in the Pre-Salt.

There is also the recent contract renewal with Sapura, sale of the drillship Vitória 10000, and maintenance shutdowns at some refineries that are set to occur under contract with Engevale.
