Transocean于2023年3月29日星期三宣布了其两个恶劣环境的半潜式钻井平台的合同固定装置，这意味着约1.13亿美元的公司合同积压。
Transocean首席执行官Jeremy Thigpen表示：“这些固定资产进一步证明了这种周期性复苏的力度，尤其是对我们恶劣的环境资产而言。”
据该公司称，Transocean Endurance钻井平台在澳大利亚与一家未公开的独立运营商签订了一份多井封堵和废弃合同。预计240天的合同将于2024年1月开始。
Transocean解释说，该合同将产生约9100万美元的积压，不包括动员费，同时还提供了一系列选择，有可能在2025年第四季度将钻机留在澳大利亚。
2015年建造的Transocean Endurance是GVA 4000 NCS设计的半潜式钻机。它可以容纳130人。该钻机的最大钻孔深度为27887英尺。
关于另一个钻井平台的合同延期，该公司强调，Wintershall Dea在挪威的Transocean Norge钻井平台上行使了一口井的选择权。这预计将于2023年5月开始，比现有的60天期限提前，并造成约2200万美元的积压。
早在2022年9月，Wintershall Dea和OMV两家石油和天然气公司与Transocean达成独家合作关系，在2023年至2027年期间，该钻井平台在挪威获得了一份17口井的合同，日费率在350000美元至430000美元之间。
越洋挪威第六代莫斯海事CS60半潜式钻井平台在新加坡裕廊造船厂建造。该钻机可容纳150人，最大钻井深度为40000英尺。
Thigpen总结道：“再加上最近宣布的Transocean Enabler和Transocean Promotion奖，我们的高规格恶劣环境车队增加了4.94亿美元的积压订单。”。

Offshore drilling contractor Transocean has secured a new contract and an extension for two semi-submersible rigs in Australia and Norway.
Transocean announced contract fixtures for two of its harsh environment semi-submersible rigs on Wednesday, 29 March 2023, representing approximately $113 million in firm contract backlog.
Jeremy Thigpen, Transocean’s Chief Executive Officer, remarked: “These fixtures represent additional evidence of the strength of this cyclical recovery, notably for our harsh environment assets.”
According to the firm, the Transocean Endurance rig was awarded a multi-well plug and abandonment contract in Australia with an undisclosed independent operator. The estimated 240-day contract is expected to start in January 2024.
Transocean explains that the contract will contribute approximately $91 million in backlog, excluding fees for mobilisation while also providing a series of options, potentially keeping the rig in Australia through the fourth quarter of 2025.
The 2015-built Transocean Endurance is a semi-submersible rig of GVA 4000 NCS design. It can accommodate 130 people. The rig’s maximum drilling depth is 27,887 ft.
Regarding the contract extension for another rig, the firm highlights that Wintershall Dea exercised a one-well option on the Transocean Norge rig for operations in Norway. This is expected to begin in May 2023 ahead of the existing firm term for 60 days and contribute approximately $22 million in backlog.
Back in September 2022, the rig secured a 17-well contract in Norway at day rates between $350,000 and $430,000 after two oil and gas companies, Wintershall Dea and OMV, entered into an exclusive partnership with Transocean for the use of this rig for the drilling of all firm and additional potential wells in the period 2023 to 2027.
The Transocean Norge sixth-generation Moss Maritime CS60 semi-submersible rig was constructed at Jurong Shipyard in Singapore. This rig can accommodate 150 people and its maximum drilling depth is 40,000 ft.
“Coupled with the awards for the Transocean Enabler and Transocean Encourage that were recently announced, we have added an incremental $494 million in backlog from our high-specification harsh environment fleet,” concluded Thigpen.
