Sembmarine delivers world’s first 8th-gen drillship to Transocean subsidiary

More than 200 crewmen can fit in the drillship.

Sembcorp Marine Limited delivered the Deepwater Atlas, world’s first eighth generation drillship, which it built and designed for US firm, Transocean’s subsidiary, Triton Atlas GmBH.

Deepwater Atlas, first of two ultra-deepwater drillships based on Jurong Espadon 3T design, “features three-million pound hook-load hosting capacity.”

“It also sets a new frontier for next generation drillships with its ability to accommodate well control systems for 20,000 psi (pounds per square inch) drilling and completion operations,” Sembcorp Marine said in a statement.

It can also operate at 12,000 feet water depth and drill to depths of 40,000 feet.

About 220 crewmen can be accommodated in the drillship, which is also equipped to ramp up fuel consumption and cut emissions.

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.
