Investor takeaway:
• Last week’s slew of long-term contracts at solid dayrates is a very positive sign for the deepwater industry.

Not only that but these awards are spread across the globe.
It shows that drillers like Total and Freeport-McMoRan aren’t giving up on the deepwater anytime soon. Instead, drillers will continue to seek top drillships to search
for oil in the deepest parts of the ocean.
