???? 据离岸工程网站2月23日消息 离岸钻井承包商Transocean报告称，2020年第四季度其控股权益净亏损为3700万美元。

????相比之下，2019年第四季度公司归属于控股权益的净亏损为5100万美元。

????2020年第四季度的合同钻井收入为6.9亿美元，与2020年第三季度相比下降了8300万美元，原因是两台闲置钻机的活动减少，一台钻机从加拿大遣散至挪威，两台钻机在巴西进行停用维护。

????此外，合同钻井收入低于去年第四季度的7.92亿美元。

????2020年第四季度的资本支出为4700万美元，主要与该公司在建的新钻井船以及其船队中某些钻机的资本升级有关。

????总裁兼首席执行官杰里米?蒂根表示：“我要感谢整个Transocean团队在第四季度再次取得了稳健的运营和财务业绩。面对前所未有的挑战，我们创造了97%的收入效率，这清楚地表明了我们致力于为客户提供可靠和高效的运营，同时保持钻井平台人员的健康和安全?！?/p>

????“展望未来，我们注意到我们面临的各种挑战。然而，我们认为，改善长期市场基本面，以及越来越多的机会在望，预示着今年晚些时候和明年合约活动将有所改善?！?/p>

????截至2021年2月船队状况报告，Transocean的合同积压金额为78亿美元。相比之下，该公司在2020年2月的积压金额为102亿美元。

????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.
