The agreements involve the chartering of drilling rigs in the following regions: U.S. Gulf of Mexico, Brazil, Suriname, Norway, India, and the United Kingdom.

The Petrobrás 10000 rig was one of those that had a new agreement signed. The company contracted with the oil company, with an initial daily rate of US$ 399 thousand, reaching US$ 462 thousand per day in the last ten months, to continue the rig’s operations.

The Deepwater Conqueror, one of Transocean’s main offshore drilling rigs, was contracted in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico at a daily rate of over US$ 440 thousand.

The vessel is being chartered by Chevron, but the contracts will end in February next year. However, it has not yet been disclosed which company will use the rig for the next two years.

The Deepwater Asgard rig secured a contract for a well for Murphy Oil Corporation in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico at a rate of US$ 395 thousand per day. The contract period begins in November 2022 and ends in January 2023.

The daily rate of US$ 440 thousand further ensures profitability for the company’s contract portfolio in the coming years.
