???? 據離岸工程網站2月23日消息 離岸鉆井承包商Transocean報告稱，2020年第四季度其控股權益凈虧損為3700萬美元。

????相比之下，2019年第四季度公司歸屬于控股權益的凈虧損為5100萬美元。

????2020年第四季度的合同鉆井收入為6.9億美元，與2020年第三季度相比下降了8300萬美元，原因是兩臺閑置鉆機的活動減少，一臺鉆機從加拿大遣散至挪威，兩臺鉆機在巴西進行停用維護。

????此外，合同鉆井收入低于去年第四季度的7.92億美元。

????2020年第四季度的資本支出為4700萬美元，主要與該公司在建的新鉆井船以及其船隊中某些鉆機的資本升級有關。

????總裁兼首席執行官杰里米?蒂根表示：“我要感謝整個Transocean團隊在第四季度再次取得了穩健的運營和財務業績。面對前所未有的挑戰，我們創造了97%的收入效率，這清楚地表明了我們致力于為客戶提供可靠和高效的運營，同時保持鉆井平臺人員的健康和安全?！?/p>

????“展望未來，我們注意到我們面臨的各種挑戰。然而，我們認為，改善長期市場基本面，以及越來越多的機會在望，預示著今年晚些時候和明年合約活動將有所改善?！?/p>

????截至2021年2月船隊狀況報告，Transocean的合同積壓金額為78億美元。相比之下，該公司在2020年2月的積壓金額為102億美元。

????Transocean Posts 4Q Net Loss. Revenue Drops

????Offshore drilling contractor Transocean reported a net loss attributable to controlling interest of $37 million for the fourth quarter of 2020.

????For comparison, for the fourth quarter of 2019, the company's net loss attributable to controlling interest was $51 million.

????Contract drilling revenue for 4Q 2020 was $690 million, a $83 million drop compared to the third quarter of 2020, due to reduced activities for two rigs that were idle, one rig that demobilized from Canada to Norway, and two rigs undertaking out-of-service maintenance in Brazil.

????Also, contract drilling revenues were lower compared to the fourth quarter a year ago, which came in at $792 million.

????Fourth-quarter 2020 capital expenditures of $47 million were primarily related to the company's newbuild drillships under construction coupled with capital upgrades for certain rigs in its fleet.

????"I would like to recognize and thank the entire Transocean team for once again producing solid operating and financial results in the fourth quarter,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Jeremy Thigpen. “In the face of unprecedented challenges, we generated revenue efficiency of 97%, clearly demonstrating our commitment to delivering reliable and efficient operations for our customers, while keeping personnel on our rigs healthy and safe.”

????"Looking forward, we are mindful of the various challenges facing us; however, we believe that improving longer-term market fundamentals, and the increasing list of opportunities on the horizon bode well for an improvement in contracting activity later this year and into next."

????Transocean's contract backlog was $7.8 billion as of the February 2021 fleet status report. For comparison, the company's backlog in February 2020 was $10.2 billion.
