For the Petrobras ‘rig pool’ tender, which had bids due in mid-October, bid evaluation appears to have been completed. The tender was for “up to” four deepwater rigs with 3-year duration across three lots. It seems Petrobras has only progressed with three of the maximum four rigs it could award. Lots 1 and 2 appear to have gone to local contractors Constellation and Etesco, while only Seadrill was selected in Lot 3, making up the three rigs in total (meaning Valaris was not selected in Lot 3). W...
While short-term in nature, Pemex’s 45-day suspension for jackup Courageous adds to investor concerns related to Paratus Energy’s Mexico exposure. We have taken a more conservative approach to our jackup modelling (both day-rates and risk for contract gaps), more than offsetting the short-term positive effect from the raised 2024 guidance (helped by strong PLSV performance). We reiterate our BUY, but have lowered our target price to NOK70 (80).
By reducing its average interest rate from 11.5% to 8.5% and annual interest costs by ~USD20m, TGS completed its debt refinancing at slightly better terms than we expected, prompting minor positive revisions to our 2024–2025e FCF and EPS. We still see a strong near-term cash flow outlook with limited debt amortisation supporting its capacity to raise dividends meaningfully after 2025e even in a flat seismic market. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to NOK130 (125).
Being the largest global consumer of deepwater oil services, Petrobras’ strategic plans tend to get investor attention. On the positive side, its latest 5-year plan sees 5% higher E&P spending than the previous one, and has a more stable phasing between the years, which is supportive for the cycle duration. However, several FPSOs are facing significant delays, which is on the downside for oil services, leading to delays for deepwater oilfield services (primarily drilling and subsea), likely resu...
