Switzerland-based offshore driller Transocean has won a five-well contract in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea for one of its drillships. The 2014-built ultra-deepwater drillship Deepwater Asgard won the contract from an undisclosed operator. The estimated 390-day campaign is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2026 and contribute approximately $158m in backlog, excluding additional services and compensation for mobilisation and demobilisation. Inclusive of the recently announced fixtures on the Transocean Barents in Norway, and the Deepwater Orion, Deepwater Aquila, and Deepwater Corcovado in Brazil, total backlog additions approximate $1.6bn since the beginning of April. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsSwitzerland
