  • India: Depths of Opportunity Robert L
    OOFFSHOREFFSHORE FFA TransoceanRORO Inc. PublicationNTIERSNTIERSMay 2003 India: Depths of Opportunity Robert L. Long President and CEO Welcome India is one of the most fascinating countries I have ever visited. The complexity and richness of the culture, the tremendous natural resources and the vast pool of talented and highly educated people give India unlimited potential. Transocean is fortunate to be playing a role in the development of India’s energy infrastructure. Thanks to the outstanding efforts from India District Manager Deepak Munganahalli and his team, we expanded our activity from one to six rigs during the 18 months through April. In the process, we have made a very significant gas discovery — the Dhirubhai find in the Krishna-Godavari basin — for Reliance Industries, which is emerging as a major, new E&P player. Also, it should be noted that the Discoverer 534 set a water depth record in India drilling in 5,773 feet of water before leaving for Malaysia in April. We are excited about the future prospects in India. Under the dynamic leadership of Chairman Subir Raha, the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd of India (ONGC) is significantly increasing drilling activity and, of particular interest to Transocean, is making a concerted effort to explore India’s deepwater potential. As we go to press with this issue of Offshore Frontiers, we are preparing to respond to two ONGC tenders for five additional jackups and at least two, and possibly four, additional deepwater rigs. In addition, Reliance will be contracting a deepwater rig to develop the Dhirubhai discovery. If all this activity proceeds, India could become a very significant deepwater drilling province and a key player in Transocean’s future growth strategy.

This action is brought against Transocean and one of its senior officers and/or directors for violations of § § 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder in connection with the dissemination of false and misleading statements about the Company’s deficient safety protocols, recurring blowout preventer (“BOP”) problems, and its operating and safety record. 2. Transocean is an owner and/or operator of approximately 140 mobile offshore drilling units. During the Class Period, defendants falsely represented that Transocean had remedied its past safety problems and was closely monitoring the Company’s operating and equipment, while omitting to disclose material information concerning Transocean’s repeated safety failures and recurring BOP issues. Defendants falsely represented that the Company’s BOP problems “have all been resolved,” and that BOP issues were “anomalies,” concealing that the Company had not eliminated BOP issues nor rectified the prior BOP failures.

The weekly function test was performed from the remote blowout preventer (BOP) panel in the offshore installation manager's office. Instead of testing the blind shear rams, the engineer inadvertently pushed the LMRP button on the panel which unintentionally activated and disconnected the lower marine riser package (LMRP). The control panel buttons for the lower marine riser package (LMRP) did not have enough security to prevent activating the wrong function. It was determined that 2,400 barrels of 60%** synthetic-based drilling mud (SBM) leaked into the Gulf of Mexico. It is estimated that the lost SBM contained approximately 1,440 barrels of synthetic base oil.

Owners gain an ultimate profit from dismantlement. Most of the offshore platforms sent to be demolished since the beginning of the year are semi-submersible rigs. This type of rig weighs 10 to 15,000 t, i.e. a gain for the last owners of 2-4 million $ on the current purchase price from shipbreaking yards. Seen in the scrapyards: Bangladesh: DB 101, Saint-Kitts-and-Nevis flag, 35.000 t. Nobi, Saint-Kitts-and-Nevis flag, 14.987 t. India: Ocean Epoch, Marshall Islands flag, 11.099 t. Octopus, 10.625 t.
