Supportive sale of stranded drillship confirmed

Following recent reports, Samsung confirmed it has sold a stranded drillship to a European client for USD245m. We believe it is the ex-Ocean Rig Crete, one of the most capable drillships that has been ordered (referenced as an 8G drillship). Being Europe-based, we believe a potential buyer could be Stena Drilling (which has an ongoing arbitration appeal with Samsung). From a read-across to listed offshore drillers, we consider it positive from a valuation perspective but negative from a market b...

Deepwater preferred into 2022e

With Q3 reports due next week, we expect management teams to be upbeat on the deepwater market as we see dayrates establishing at the mid-to-high USD200k level for high-spec UDW rigs. On the other hand, the fragmented jackup market still appears to lack pricing discipline, and despite some incremental demand in the Middle East, we believe there is room for disappointment ahead. We keep Noble and Valaris as our best long ideas, while we remain muted on Transocean.

Petrobras UDW rig selection

For the Petrobras tender for high-specification UDW rigs, updates suggest that it has made a rig selection. The tender was split into two categories (with and without MPD) and called for a duration of three years with start-up in September 2022. As previously reported, Seadrill had presented the lowest bid in the MPD category, and updates now suggest that two Seadrill UDW 7G drillships, West Tellus and West Carina, have been selected. The rigs were offered at dayrates of USD230k and USD245k, res...

Back to normal with Petrobras

In the three Petrobras tenders for low-spec UDW rigs that had bids due late last week, things were ‘back to normal’ compared to the solid dayrates in its recent tender for high-spec UDW rigs. Now, local (and Indian) contractors emerged as the low bidders and dayrates offered were mostly in the high USD100k/low USD200k, representing an expected downtick from the recent high-spec tender. Given the low technical specification on these tenders, interest was low from international contractors with on...

US GoM deepwater heating up

Following our US GoM deepwater market update in May, the positive trend in demand continues, and we expect further contract awards in the coming months. Based on the rollover profile, demand (both renewal and incremental) should be more than sufficient to keep the current fleet of warm rigs working in our view, and we see potential for incremental rigs to enter the region. Clean dayrates (for high-spec drillships) are mostly seen in the USD220k–250k range. Still, we believe higher levels are bei...
