The Drillship Is Being Prepared to Depart for Indonesia This Weekend to Fulfill the Contract Between Petroserv and the Italian ENI

As Click Oil and Gas reported earlier this month, the semi-submersible drillship Catarina from Petroserv won a two-year contract with Eni and will drill in Indonesia.
Preparations are going “full steam ahead” and the unit is already positioned on the vessel in Guanabara Bay, which will take it to the operation location, with departure scheduled for this weekend, on May 18 or 19.

The vessel conducting the dry-tow belongs to Boskalis and the journey will last between 40 to 45 days.
The Catarina drillship is expected to begin operations in the Merakes gas field in Indonesia, and in July, once the thrusters are reinstalled, it will start operations.

According to information from the magazine BE Petróleo, the daily rental rate for the drillship was close to US$ 220,000, the contract will last for two years, and this will be the second overseas campaign for Petroserv’s equipment.

The equipment, capable of drilling in water depths of 3,000 meters, was built in 2012 and will be Petroserv’s second drillship with a contract abroad, the first being Louisiana, which has been operating since 2018 for ONGC in India.

The Petroserv fleet also includes the drillship Carolina, which is currently without a contract and is being offered in ongoing bids, as well as the semi-submersible Victoria, which has a contract with Petrobras until 2019 and the anchored drillship Atlantic Zephyr, which carries out well abandonment services for Dommo in the Tubarão Azul field in the Campos Basin.
