Drilling contractors have and are continuing to recycle units that have been sitting idle, as well as re-positioning them to other geological areas where longer-term demand is stronger with higher dayrates achievable.<\/p>\n<p>According to Westwood\u2019s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westwoodenergy.com\/riglogix\">RigLogix<\/a><\/strong>, harsh-environment North Sea semisub supply has shrunk by eight units over the last two years to 23 units. Currently 18 semisubs are operational, albeit two COSL units are not working but preparing for contracts due to begin between 4Q 2024 and 1Q 2025, as well as the currently idle Ocean Patriot holding a future long-term contract due to kick-off in 1Q 2025. Another semisub (Borgland Dolphin), following its current reactivation in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, will return to UK waters to begin a future contract in 2Q 2025.<\/p>\n<p>So far this year, three North Sea semisubs (Bideford Dolphin, Dolphin Leader and Stena Spey) have been sold for recycling, with one more sale imminent (Ocean Valiant). The average age of these four semisubs is 40.75 years. Meanwhile, following Noble\u2019s recently concluded acquisition of Diamond Offshore, the question yet to be realised is what will become of the inherited UK semisub fleet \u2013 consisting of 1983-built Ocean Patriot, 1975-built Ocean Endeavor and 2016-built Ocean GreatWhite. Ocean Endeavor is likely to roll off contract in November this year, and with no future work yet in place and capital expenditure required for hull repairs and BOP recertifications, the elderly rig may also be a candidate for retirement if no work is found soon.[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;16844&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h6>North Sea Marketed Supply, Demand &amp; Committed Utilisation (Aug 2020-Aug 2024)<br \/>\nSource Westwood RigLogix<\/h6>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n<h4><strong>2024 has lowest award activity in a decade<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>North Sea semisub awarded days in 2024 to-date has totalled a mere 1,468 days, with Norway accounting for 1,195 days, and the UK 273 days.

Additionally, there is tentative demand totalling 13,803 days across the UK, Norway and Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>Excluding Norway (a niche market, commanding a premium compared with its British, Dutch and Danish counterparts), North Sea semisub dayrates are some of the least compelling globally and have been on a downward trajectory since 2022. In comparison, North Sea jackup dayrates have been on a slow and steady incline since 2018, currently sitting at an average of just over $132,000. Albeit \u2013 unlike North Sea rates fixed before the downturn in 2014 \u2013 they have not been market leading by any means.[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;16846&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h6>Awarded North Sea (excl.

There is also uncertainty in the short-term, pending the UK Autumn budget on 30th October 2024, on whether the capital allowance claims (tax relief) will continue and if so, to what extent. Several UK North Sea operators such as NEO Energy, Serica Energy, EnQuest, Jersey Oil &amp; Gas and Hartshead Resources have been vocal about limiting or slowing down further investment in the region due to the new changes from government.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, environmentalist groups have been protesting new developments \u2013 Jackdaw and Rosebank \u2013 and recently the UK government did not challenge the judicial reviews on these. Although the licences have not been withdrawn, a cloud is now hanging over these projects, which if cancelled could see further rig contracts disappear.<\/p>\n<p>With no real or meaningful semisub demand, coupled with seven units potentially rolling off contract between 4Q 2024 and mid-2025, more units may be moved to cold stack, retired or relocated if the right opportunity presents itself. Westwood is aware of several drilling contractors with rigs currently located in Norway and the UK, that are bidding their assets into areas such as Southeast Asia, the Mediterranean, Africa and the Falkland Islands due to the limited outlook offshore Norway and the UK.<\/p>\n<p>The UK North Sea has over 2,200 wells estimated to be plugged and abandoned (P&amp;A) between 2024 and 2033, with 39% of these being subsea wells. Although this sounds like a great opportunity for drilling contractors, operators have been using every excuse in the book for years to defer \u2013 citing high rig dayrates as just one reason. Currently, only three harsh-environment third generation semisubs remain in the North Sea \u2013 Ocean Patriot, Well-Safe Guardian and Well-Safe Defender. This lower specification-design, along with fourth generation units, have long been seen as the \u201ccheap and cheerful\u201d brand of unit perfect for P&amp;A work in UK Central North Sea waters. However, with little supply or competition we could very well see a spike in dayrates for these in the coming years.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<strong>Kathleen Gammack, <\/strong><em>Senior Rig Market Analyst<\/em><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"mailto:kgammack@westwoodenergy.com\">kgammack@westwoodenergy.com<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":16847,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[353,798,48,445,339,330,49],"tags":[709,698,59,55,65,871,870,869,188,620],"class_list":{"0":"post-16843","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-all_articles","8":"category-kathleen-gammack","9":"category-news","10":"category-offshore-energy-services","11":"category-offshore-rigs","12":"category-riglogix","13":"category-westwood-insight","14":"tag-dayrate","15":"tag-demand","16":"tag-drilling","17":"tag-north-sea","18":"tag-offshore","19":"tag-pa","20":"tag-recycle","21":"tag-scrap","22":"tag-semisub","23":"tag-semisubmersible"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 -
