The newbuild ultra-deepwater drillship before, on April 20, 2016, owned by the offshore drilling contractor Transocean arrived to a Gulf of Mexico location where it will operate for the oil giant Shell. Shell’s spokesperson confirmed that the Transocean Deepwater Proteus arrived to the Gulf of Mexico and it will start working “in the near future”. The drillship is under a ten-year contract with Shell with a dayrate of $519,000.
The Deepwater Proteus is a seventh generation DSME 12000 drillship. The drillship was delivered to the offshore driller Transocean during the fourth quarter of 2015 by the South Korean shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME).
According to Transocean’s fourth quarter report of 2015, issued in February, 2016, the drillship was delivered to the offshore driller during the quarter by the South Korean shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME).
Back in 2012, Shell hired Transocean’s four drillships, all ordered at DSME, for ten years each. One of these drillships, the Deepwater Thalassa, started its contract with Shell in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico in February 2016.
With the Deepwater Proteus now also in the Gulf of Mexico, there remain two more drillships, the Deepwater Pontus and Deepwater Poseidon , to be delivered from the South Korean shipyard. To remind, Transocean, Shell and DSME agreed in October 2015 to defer the operating and delivery contracts of these two newbuild drillships by 12 months each. Estimated contract start date for these two rigs is in the fourth quarter of 2017 and first quarter of 2018, respectively. All four drillships have been designed to operate in water depths of up to 12,000 feet and drill wells to 40,000 feet.
