Here are possible order wins Sembcorp Marine could ink soon

Some are worth US$600m.

According to CIMB, Sembcorp Marine has secured a second semi-submersible well-intervention rig order (US$346m) from the Helix Energy Group, for delivery in mid-2016. 

The rig, named Q7000, will be built using Sembcorp Marine’s design. These rigs are able to perform conventional and extended top-hole drilling, subsea construction, decommissioning well-intervention, coiled tubing operations and twin ROV deployment.

Here's more from CIMB:

The contract is 10% lower than that for the first semi-sub wellintervention rig ordered by Helix in Mar 12 as it is of a smaller size. Nevertheless, it brings the company’s YTD new orders to about S$3.9bn, or 78% of our S$5bn target.

We expect more orders before year-end. Near-term possible contract wins could come from Oslo-listed Awilco Drilling, which is in talks with Sembcorp Marine, Cosco Corp and Daewoo Shipbuilding for a Moss CS50 design semi-submersible worth US$600m with options for up to two more.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
