First look at Petrobras tender
The multi-rig tender from Petrobras for deepwater rigs across three categories for up to eight rigs was due today. Based on the initial results, we believe Diamond Offshore and Transocean appear best positioned to win work among the international contractors, while Ocyan and potentially Constellation are well placed among the local contractors. Valaris also participated in the tender but was the high bidder; consequently, it is less likely to win work, in our view. As usual for a Petrobras tender, the number of rigs ultimately contracted is uncertain and typically subject to day-rate levels. We see potential for up to four incremental rigs being contracted under the tender, which could help the international deepwater market further. From a day-rate perspective, initial results imply all-in day-rates around the USD350k level for high-spec UDW rigs for the lowest bidder and the majority of bids around the USD400k level. As these are all-in day-rates, clean day-rates would typically be lower. For low-spec UDW rigs, all-in day-rates seem to be around USD250k. We consider the day-rates above solid and in line with the recent strong market for UDW rigs. For the UDW market and capital markets, we see the main benefit of this tender being the number of rigs contracted, not the day-rate level.Awilco Drilling is engaged in the ownership of offshore drilling rigs for use in offshore drilling operations, and to provide drilling services for oil and gas companies using these rigs.
