15 Market Outlook and Contracts
Bullish Outlook for Ultra-Deepwater UDW day rates have risen rapidly as new discoveries and a bullish oil price outlook increase worldwide exploration and appraisal activity and support future development drilling projects UDW rig demand expected to grow significantly in the Golden Triangle driven by: US Gulf of Mexico s continuing recovery and exploration successes Petrobras oil production growth Emerging pre-salt plays in West Africa Expansion of UDW drilling to frontier areas is already consuming rig activity and portends further increases in demand over the next five years UDW newbuild programs by existing drillers are supported by operators preference for high-specification assets and the need to replace older, low-specification rigs Demand for UDW rigs expected to exceed supply for the foreseeable future, supporting a strong outlook on day rates 16
Favorable Jack-Up Outlook 17 Bifurcation in both utilization and dayrates continues between high-specification and standard jack-ups Utilization differentiation currently around 10% Dayrate differentiation increasing Market outlook for 2013 appears favorable Overall utilization rates for actively-marketed rigs continue to increase Dayrates currently in the $155,000 to $180,000 range, depending on the geographic region and contract term Many older rigs are not likely to return to market 63 jack-ups currently either warm or cold stacked 30 jack-up rigs have been permanently removed from the fleet since 2011; this is more than the aggregate for the period 1996 to 2010 Cold-stacked units face extensive reactivation costs Jack-up demand continues to shift toward newer, high-specification rigs Source IHS Petrodata, ISI Group, Pareto Securities
