Seadrill has secured a new contract in Malaysia for its 10,000-ft drillship West Capella and an extension of the current contract in Brazil for the 12,000-ft drillship West Carina.
In Malaysia, the ultra-deepwater drillship West Capella has secured a contract with an undisclosed operator.
The well-based program is expected to commence in the second quarter of 2026 for an estimated duration of 440 days, plus priced options for three additional wells.
The total contract value for the firm term is approximately $157 million, including a $5 million mobilisation fee and excluding additional services.
The drillship has been idle since Q1 2025, following the completion of its contract with KNOC in South Korea. It is currently warm stacked in Singapore, where it moved from Malaysia in December 2025.
