Shipbuilding and construction groups from Singapore and Brazil have bid for the tender issued by Brazil’s Petrobras to build 28 deepwater oil drill rigs, the state-led oil company said Saturday.
The Brazilian units of Singapore’s Jurong and Keppel shipyards, Atlantico Sul and Eisa shipyards, and Brazilian construction groups Andrade Guiterrez, Odebrecht, UTC, OAS and Alusa bid for contracts to build the rigs in Brazil in lots of two or seven, Petrobras said in a statement.
The bid prices for the rigs, which will be capable of drilling in waters in depths of 3,000 meters (9,843 feet) or more, ranged from an average of $664.3 million for each of the seven rigs from Eisa in Rio de Janeiro to an average of $1.07 billion for each of two rigs from Andrade Guitierrez.
Petrobras is buying and leasing drill rigs to explore for oil in and around giant new fields in deepwater in the Santos and Campos Basins near Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo.
Between 20% and 50% of the value of the projects will have to come from Brazilian goods and services.
Keppel bid $748.9 million for each of the rigs in the two-rig contract and $738.9 million for each rig in the seven-rig tender. Jurong bid $820 million for each unit in the two-rig contract and $739.8 million for each rig in the seven-rig contract.
Five companies also bid to lease four rigs to Petrobras for up-front activation or “mobilization” fees of $31,600 to $25.9 million and rental rates of $639,000/day to $790,000/day.
The companies bidding to lease the rigs to Petrobras were Etesco, Petroserv, Queiroz Galvao Oleo e Gas and Saipem do Brasil. Etesco, Petroserve and Queiroz Galvao offered to lease semi-submersible rigs, Petrobras said.
Etesco and Saipem offered to lease drill-ships.
