(offhore-energy.biz) Bermuda-headquartered offshore drilling contractor Seadrill has welcomed back to its rig fleet two drillships, which are getting the finishing touches out of the way to begin their new multimillion-dollar drilling assignments off the coast of Brazil, which are slated to last until the end of 2027.
With the acquisition of Aquadrill in April 2023, several rigs returned to the company’s managed fleet, including the West Auriga and West Polaris drillships. The duo transitioned to Seadrill from the existing third-party managers, Diamond Offshore and Vantage Drilling. The first rig underwent preparations for work in Brazil at the Pascagoula shipyard in Mississippi.
When the second rig returned to the offshore drilling player’s fleet, it was docked quayside at Seatrium’s shipyard in Singapore and set to undergo “a transformation before embarking on her next adventure in Brazil,” as disclosed by the firm seven months ago.
