The Offshore Drilling Contractor Transocean Secured Three New Drilling Contracts, Adding Approximately US$ 75 Million to Its Order Book

According to Transocean’s quarterly fleet status report released on Thursday, the longest of the three contracts is with Hurricane Energy for the semi-submersible drilling rig Paul B. Lloyd Jr. The rig will be used for operations in the UK North Sea.

Hurricane agreed to contract the rig built in 1990 with a 255-day contract starting in February 2020. The report shows that the contract is divided into two terms, where the daily rate would be US$ 160,000 from February to April 2020 and would increase to US$ 205,000 from February to September 2020. The current rig’s contract with BP in the UK expires this month.

In Brunei, Transocean won a contract for its semi-submersible drilling unit Deepwater Nautilus. The 45-day contract is with Shell and is expected to start in February 2020. Transocean shared that the daily rate would be US$ 175,000. Currently, the rig is in Malaysia, under contract with Shell. The current contract is set to expire in November.
