Constellation announce the award of a new contract with Petróleo Brasileiro S.A.
("Petrobras") for the deployment of one Jackup unit - Admarine 511
Luxembourg, March 31st, 2025 - Constellation Oil Services Holding S.A.
("Constellation" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the award of a new
contract with Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. ("Petrobras") for the deployment of the
Admarine 511 - a jackup drilling rig owned by its commercial partner, ADES
Holding Company, which will be used for a campaign of Plug and Abandonment (P&A)
of wells at shallow waters in the Sergipe, Alagoas, Ceará and Potiguar basins,
in Brazil. With this contract Constellation expects to generate about 100 direct
new jobs that will be met mostly by Brazilian workforce.
The agreement has a total value of US$170 million. The Admarine 511 will be run
and operated by Constellation, which will have up to 210 days for mobilizing the
rig from its current location in Bahrain, to Brazil, where it will remain under
contract for a firm execution period of 1.143 days. The contract also includes
an extension option of up to 472 days, upon mutual agreement between the
parties. The rig is already undergoing class inspection and essential
adjustments to meet Brazilian regulations.
" We are excited to announce the signing of this new contract, marking our
strategic return to shallow water operations and our entry into a promising
market segment. This project is the second third-party owned asset to be
operated by Constellation, aligning with our core competencies as Drilling
Contractors and playing a vital role in Petrobras' ambitious decommissioning
plans. The initiative will progress in stages, commencing with the P&A of a
significant number of wells currently connected to these fixed platforms. Based
on the recent disclosures from Petrobras, we anticipate that this market will
provide sustained demand for our services well beyond the duration of the
contract.", informed Rodrigo Ribeiro, CEO of Constellation.
The Admarine 511 is a three-legged cantilever jack-up rig, model MSC CJ46-X100D,
designed to operate in water depths up to 375 feet (114 meters)
