Sembcorp Marine secures $417m rig orders from Oro Negro

Sembcorp shipyards basking in booming Mexican demand.

Here's more from OCBC:

Sembcorp Marine (SMM) announced this morning that its subsidiary, PPL Shipyard, has secured orders worth US$417m for the construction of two jack-up rigs from Mexican-based Integradora de Servicios Petroleros Oro Negro (Oro Negro). Scheduled for delivery at end-4Q14 and end-1Q15, the high-spec rigs will be built based on PPL’s proprietary Pacific Class 400 design. Oro Negro is a repeat customer – it ordered two similar jack-up rigs from SMM in Dec last year at a price of US$217m per unit.

The strong demand coming from Mexico is within our expectations, as PEMEX plans annual capital expenditures of ~US$30b till 2019 to stem the country’s declining oil production. We see SMM as one of the beneficiaries of these developments. Maintain BUY with S$5.84 fair value estimate on SMM. (Low Pei Han)

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
