upstream上看到的。。转过来。。。2.2亿美金。。太发指了!加上3亿美金的钻井包也就5.2亿美金。。一般韩国的巨头GM4000报价应该在5.5-6亿美金的。。。国内干啥都一窝蜂,自己戕害自己人。。。当年是振华高价抢中集的F&G...现在是中集超低价抢COSL4。。。干脆都倒闭得了
Chinese offshore yard CIMC Raffles is expected to win a long-awaited engineering, procurement and construction contract from COSL Drilling Europe to build a deep-water semi-submersible drilling rig for operation in the North Sea and potentially in the Barents Sea.
18 November 2011 01:37 GMT
The deal, if confirmed, will be the fourth deep-water semisub order placed by COSL Drilling Europe at CIMC Raffles, and could prove to be a stepping stone for the yard to become a specialist builder of ice-class rigs geared for operation in extreme cold weather conditions in the Arctic.
Sources close to the deal said the announcement could come within a week to allow fabrication work to start by the end of this year.
However, CIMC Raffles does not want any public exposure before the deal is formally signed due to last-ditch efforts by competing companies that could topple the deal.
Sources said CIMC Raffles and COSL Drilling Europe are finalising commercial terms before formally signing the deal.
Delivery of the new rig is expected in the third quarter of 2014, according to yard sources.
CIMC Raffles is understood to have offered the lowest bid for the unit, about $215 million to $220 million, though this does not include the owner-furnished equipment, including the drilling package from National Oilwell Varco (NOV). COSL bought the NOV kit earlier for about $300 million.CIMC Raffles declined to comment on the value of the rig.
CIMC’s bid was much lower than the offers by rival bidders Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding and Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Offshore (DSIC Offshore). The three yards went through clarification with COSL Drilling Europe towards the end of October.
The philosophy behind CIMC’s low bid is to make marginal profit, with no intention of buying work at a loss, a company official said.
The yard in eastern China’s Shandong province has also promised a delivery timeline of up to 34 months, as compared with the 37-month schedule allegedly proposed by DSIC Offshore.
Should it win, CIMC Raffles will work with Norway’s Grenland Group on joint detailed engineering for the unit, or re-engineering, as Grenland calls it.
Grenland has provided the basic design for the GG5000 unit, known as COSL 4 or COSL Prospector. CIMC Raffles will face a number of technical challenges to build the rig, as it is more sophisticated than the previous three sister units it has won from COSL Drilling Europe.
The newbuild is designed to operate in extreme cold conditions, which requires technology and equipment for winterisation and in water depths of 1500 metres, doubling the water depth of the previous three units.
COSL Drilling Europe chief executive Jorgen Arnesen said earlier that the unit will be for operations in the Arctic, making it a candidate for work in areas such as the Barents Sea and off Greenland.
It will also be tailored to meet Statoil’s technical requirements, copying many of the features of the Norwegian operator’s so-called Cat-D workhorse units designed for well intervention work. |
