石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社11月27日奥斯陆报道，挪威海洋钻井平台公司Seadrill认为，从2019年到2020年，合同钻机市场有所改善。该公司在周二公布了自7月破产后的首个季度业绩。 该公司由挪威出生的亿万富翁John Fredriksen控股，其第三季度的营收为2.49亿美元，运营亏损1.06亿美元。 Seadrill在一份声明中提到：“在2014-2016年油价暴跌之后，石油行业出现了复苏，经过业务重组，我们现在完全有能力利用复苏，我们已经开始看到从2019-2020年度开始的合同费率有所改善。” 然而，Seadrill仍然处于一个艰难的境地。在其35个钻井平台中，有16个在运行，19个闲置。 该公司表示，其第四季度调整后的税息折旧及摊销前利润（EBITDA）将低于第三季度的4600万美元，约为3500万美元。 根据美国破产法第11章，公司成功地将债务及其他负债由126亿美元减至74亿美元。 根据美国法院批准的计划，该公司将约24亿美元的无担保债券和超过10亿美元的新钻井平台负债转换为股本，并将57亿美元银行债务的首笔到期日提前到2022年。 自2015年以来，该公司一直未支付股息。 詹晓晶摘自路透社 原文如下： Norway’s Seadrill sees uptick in contracting rigs market from 2019-20 Norwegian offshore drilling rig firm Seadrill Ltd sees the contracting rigs market improving from 2019-20, as it reported its first quarterly results on Tuesday since emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July. The company, controlled by Norwegian-born billionaire John Fredriksen, posted a revenue in the third quarter of $249 million and an operating loss of $106 million. “Having restructured our business, we are now well positioned to capitalise on the recovery,” Seadrill said in a statement, referring to the recovery in the oil sector after a slump in prices in 2014-2016. “We are already starting to see rate improvements for contracts starting in 2019/2020,” it added. Still, Seadrill remains in a tough spot. Out of its 35 drilling rigs, 16 are in operation while 19 are lying idle. The adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) would be lower in the fourth quarter, around $35 million, than in the third quarter, at $46 million, the company said. During the Chapter 11 process, the company has managed to reduce its debts and other liabilities down to $7.4 billion from $12.6 billion. It converted about $2.4 billion in unsecured bonds and more than $1 billion in liabilities for newly built rigs to equity, and pushed forward first maturities of its $5.7 billion bank debt until 2022, under the plan approved by the U.S. court. The company has not paid a dividend since 2015.
