Transocean Secures $425M Backlog with Deepwater Corcovado Extension

Transocean Ltd. announced a 1,156-day contract extension for its Deepwater Corcovado drillship with Petrobras. This extension, which begins in September 2027 and runs through November 2030, is expected to add approximately $445 million to the company's backlog. However, an existing backlog reduction of $20 million will occur from April 2026 until the new contract starts, resulting in a net additional backlog of $425 million.
