ESV: Now We Wait For 2020...!

  • Wait Till 2020. Management message is very clear. All UDW regions are facing oversupply pressure and a reduction of UDW supplies are needed for utilization (current worldwide UDW is 64%) to reach 75%. This is a level of where pricing power can return. In our opinion, given that the offshore drillers are accepting low rate in the range of $105-185k/day for 2-years, we expect pricing power to return not until late 2020.
