        海上钻井承包商Transocean公司成功与美国墨西哥湾运营商EnVen能源公司签订了一份新的钻井船合同。 

 

        周三发布的最新报道称，EnVen能源公司称其已与Transocean公司签署了一份钻探合同，以便使用Transocean公司的“Discoverer Inspiration”号超深海钻井船。 

 

        EnVen能源公司已决定钻探一口既定井与额外钻探两口井的选择权，预计将在2022年第三季度初交付钻井船。目前尚未透露合同的更多细节。 

 

        根据Transocean公司最新的船队状况报告，目前该钻井船受该公司在墨西哥湾与Hess公司签订合同的约束。与Hess公司签订为其钻探九口井的合同于去年7月正式宣布，船舶日租金为21.5万美元。该合同自去年10月生效，并计划在2022年5月终止。 

 

        EnVen能源公司董事长兼首席执行官Steve Weyel表示：“当我们继续开展以基础设施为主导勘探项目时，我们很高兴再次与Transocean 公司旗下‘Discoverer Inspiration’号钻进船合作，这与我们为了开发深水投资项目组合而提倡的积极且严格战略相一致。我们有一些前景可观的井可供钻探，其能够为项目发展提供巨大的发展潜力。”

 

        EnVen能源公司致力于墨西哥湾深水区的开发工作。去年5月，与BHP公司进行交易后，该公司增加了其在墨西哥湾深水区“Neptune”油田的股份。因此，EnVen能源公司将其在该油田的股份从30%增加到了65%，从而承担了该海域钻进运营商的角色。

Transocean drillship gets fresh drilling gig

 

Offshore drilling contractor Transocean has won a new contract for one of its drillships with the U.S. Gulf of Mexico operator, EnVen Energy Corporation. 

 

In an update on Wednesday, EnVen Energy said it had executed a drilling contract with Transocean for the use of the Transocean Discoverer Inspiration, an ultra-deepwater drillship. 

 

EnVen has committed to one firm well with options for two additional wells and expects to take delivery of the drillship early in the third quarter of 2022. No further details have been revealed about the contract. 

 

According to Transocean’s latest fleet status report, the drillship is currently under contract with Hess in the Gulf of Mexico. The nine-well contract with Hess was announced in July last year with a day rate of $215,000. It started last October and is scheduled to end in May 2022. 

 

Steve Weyel, EnVen’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are excited to again work with Transocean on the Discoverer Inspiration as we continue our infrastructure-led exploration program, consistent with our proactive and disciplined strategy to develop our deepwater portfolio. We have several robust prospects to drill that provide tremendous growth potential.”

 

EnVen is committed to the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. In May last year, the company boosted its stake in the Neptune field in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico following a transaction with BHP. As a result, EnVen increased its stake in the field from 30 per cent to 65 per cent and assumed the role of operator.
