The additions to the backlog include a contract extension for the Transocean Spitsbergen rig with Equinor, a Norwegian integrated energy company. This extension, valued at $199 million, will keep the rig working offshore Norway for an extended period [1]. The Transocean Spitsbergen rig has been working with Equinor for several years and has secured a dayrate of $395,000 for the contract extension [1].
Additionally, Transocean has secured a one-well option for the Transocean Equinox semi-submersible drilling rig in Australia. The contract involves drilling two wells in the Otway Basin and has a dayrate of $540,000. The drilling assignment is scheduled to commence in September 2025 and is expected to be completed before the end of 2025 [1].
A new contract for the Deepwater Skyros drillship with Murphy Oil has also been secured. This contract involves drilling three wells in Ivory Coast, with a one-well option, at a dayrate of $361,000. The contract is scheduled to begin in December 2025 [1].
Furthermore, Transocean has secured a 60-day extension for the Deepwater Mykonos drillship with Petrobras, a Brazilian state-owned energy firm. This extension includes options for an additional 120 days, with an undisclosed dayrate [1].
As a result of these new contracts and extensions, Transocean's total contract backlog now stands at approximately $7.2 billion as of July 16, 2025 [1]. These additions underscore the strong demand for the company's advanced fleet and drilling management services offerings.
Transocean's stock has seen a slight increase in response to this news, trading at $2.55 as of July 2, 2025, and is currently identified as undervalued by InvestingPro analysis [2].
