Mountain of evidence reveals a pick-up in Keppel's semi-sub orders

12 contractors expected to prepare orders.

According to Nomura, they had highlighted Semi-subs as one of key areas of potential order growth near term. 

Here, evidence of the order pick-up comes from Upstream which expects 12 established operators/ contractors preparing orders for new Ultra Deep Water (UDW) semi-subs.

Here's more from Nomura:

Currently, only 65 of the existing 220 semi-subs are UDW. All 22 semi-subs under construction currently are UDW with only 5 rigs without contracts.

Here, we highlight the potential 3-4 semi-sub orders possible from SOCAR (State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic).

With Keppel having received the first order last week from SOCAR, we believe it is in strong position to get further orders from SOCAR

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.
