Article Summary

HOLD
  • Eni Spa ADR (NYSE: ENI) secured a new offshore drilling contract valued at around $260 million from Eni Côte d'Ivoire, with the deployment of the Santorini drill-ship to conduct development drilling operations off the coast expected to start in early 2027.
  • The contract includes the possibility for the vessel to operate in neighbouring countries and covers additional optional periods providing further opportunities for prolonged use, qualifying as a related party transaction since Eni is a subsidiary of Eni which has stakes in several deepwater offshore blocks tied to the Baleine project.
  • According to Saipem, the vessel is fitted with advanced digital and automated technologies including NOVOS, a reflexive drilling system designed to automate repetitive activities and improve process consistency and safety, while last month Eni Spa ADR began offshore operations at GranMorgu project in Suriname following arrival and mooring of Normand Navigator construction vessel at Jules Sedney Harbour in Paramaribo.
