Keppel's sealed deals hit a whopping S$1.85b

It bagged a big-shot US$225m order from Ensco.

According to OCBC Investment Research, Keppel Corporation announced that its O&M arm has secured a contract to construct a KFELS B Class jackup rig from Ensco. The construction cost, together with the commissioning, systems integration testing and project management is expected to be US$225m.

Here's more:

When completed in 1Q15, this will be the fourth KFELS B Class Bigfoot unit in Ensco’s fleet. With this latest order, KEP has won about S$1.85b of new orders YTD, accounting for 37% of our full year estimate.

Looking ahead, we expect order flows for such premium jackups to continue. Indeed, Ensco’s Chairman, President and CEO also commented that the market for premium jackups is “very strong”, and “customer demand is broad-based for high-specification jackup rigs”.

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.
