Transocean Ltd. announced new offshore drilling contracts worth approximately $292 million in firm fixtures and an additional $1.0 billion conditional agreement with Equinor for rigs on the Norwegian shelf. These contracts extend drilling programs across the U.S. Gulf, Ivory Coast, Norway, and Australia, increasing the company's total backlog to about $6.7 billion, excluding the conditional $1.0 billion from Equinor. This backlog growth highlights Transocean's strong position in the offshore drilling market and its focus on ultra-deepwater and harsh environment rigs. The company continues to operate a fleet of 27 mobile offshore drilling units, maintaining its leadership in technically demanding offshore drilling services.
