It seems that the Rigs theme is in focus this week... The new issue of Offshore magazine features a section
“Many of the newer rigs currently under contract, and those
still under construction in shipyards around the world, are designed for deeper
waters and wells. Nearly 50 of the premium jackups in the global fleet are
rated to water depths of 400 ft or greater… The greatest demands are from the
greater Asia/Pacific region, the North Sea, and Middle East. Roughly 31 of the
142 rigs highlighted in this year's survey are deployed in Asia Pacific (22% of
the total), followed by 28 in the North Sea (20%) and 15 in the Middle East
(11%).” – writes
Ted Moon.
There is a good analysis of current situation with offshore
drilling, including this
table
Rig orders 2008-2013
(year-to-date)
And 2013 Worldwide MODU construction/new
order survey, where there is only one mention of Indonesia:
A few words on Drydocks World
– Graha. This is a modern dedicated rig and offshore construction yard
with the ability to build jackup or semi-submersible rigs. This
flyer describes it good.
This is a Batam facility that is run by Dubai-based
company Drydocks World and Maritime World (DWMW). In 2010 the self-propelled jack-up
construction vessel, Nora was built for Master Marine ASA of Norway.
In 2011 the Graha plant delivered a Self Elevating
Platform, L210 to Curacao based Self Elevating Platforms N.V., with contract
value of $24.6m. It was
reported in February that the company plans to expand it with an
investment of U.S. $ 2.5 billion.
