据美国钻井网站2021年5月6日报道，全球著名海上钻井承包商诺布尔公司对全球钻井市场前景持乐观态度。
这是诺布尔公司董事长兼首席执行官罗伯特· 艾夫勒日前在公司第一季度业绩声明中作上述表示的。他补充说，诺布尔公司看到了一系列利益性的投标机会以及不断提高的钻井日费率，特别是在浮式钻井市场。
诺布尔公司在2月5日脱离破产法第11章的保护，采用了全新的会计方法，这使得该公司成为会计和财务报告的新报告实体。因此，诺布尔公司在第一季度业绩中指出，2月5日之后的财务报表和附注与2月5日之前的财务报表和附注不可比较。
从2月6日到3月31日，诺布尔公司报告的收入为9200万美元，其中钻井服务合同收入为8500万美元，调整后净亏损为2700万美元。截至3月31日，诺布尔公司预计收入积压总额约为15亿美元，其中约11亿美元与浮式钻井平台有关，约4亿美元与自升式钻井平台有关。估计5.68亿美元的收入积压可归咎于今年的剩余时间。。
诺布尔公司在3月份宣布收购太平洋钻井公司，并于4月15日完成收购。诺布尔公司4月份在其网站上发布的一份声明中表示，太平洋钻井公司的高规格超深水钻井船队进一步提升了诺布尔公司作为海上钻井行业中最现代化、技术最先进船队的所有者和运营商的全球地位。
艾夫勒在诺布尔公司第一季度业绩声明中表示：“我们很高兴能够加快完成对太平洋钻井公司的收购。”
他说：“太平洋钻井公司的高规格钻井船队与诺布尔公司业务的整合进展顺利，我们很高兴能够再次拥有可用的钻井船能力，能更好地满足客户的需求。我们有望在2021年底前实现3000万美元的协同增效目标，这样就可以降低我们整个合并船队的陆上钻机负担。”
艾夫勒继续表示：“我们仍致力于维持一个强劲的资产负债表和资本纪律，我们期待继续执行我们的战略，为股东创造价值。

Noble Corporation Optimistic on Market Outlook
Noble Corporation is optimistic about the market outlook.
That’s what Robert W. Eifler, the president and chief executive officer of Noble Corporation, said in the company’s first quarter results statement, adding that the business sees a pipeline of interesting tender opportunities developing along with improving day rates, especially in the floater market.
Noble emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on February 5 and adopted fresh-start accounting, which resulted in the company becoming a new reporting entity for accounting and financial reporting purposes. As a result, the company noted in its first quarter results that its financial statements and notes after February 5 are not comparable to its financial statements and notes prior to that date.
From February 6 to March 31, Noble Corporation reported revenues of $92 million, with a contract drilling services revenue of $85 million, and an adjusted net loss of $27 million. As of March 31, the company's estimated revenue backlog totaled approximately $1.5 billion, consisting of around $1.1 billion associated with the floating rig fleet and approximately $400 million with the jackup fleet. An estimated $568 million of the revenue backlog was attributable to the remainder of the year 2021.
Noble Corporation announced the acquisition of Pacific Drilling in March, which closed on April 15. In a statement posted on its website last month, Noble Corporation said Pacific Drilling’s high specification ultra-deepwater drillship fleet further enhances Noble Corporation’s global position as an owner and operator of one of the most modern and technically advanced fleets in the offshore drilling industry.
“We are pleased to have completed the Pacific Drilling acquisition on an expedited timeline,” Eifler said in Noble Corporation’s first quarter results statement.
“The integration of Pacific Drilling's high specification drillships into Noble’s operations is going well, and we are excited to have available drillship capacity again to better serve the needs of our customers. We are on track to achieve our synergy target of $30 million before the end of 2021, and in so doing, lowering our shorebased burden per rig across the consolidated fleet,” he added.
“We remain committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet and to capital discipline, and we look forward to continuing to execute on our strategy and build shareholder value,” Eifler went on to say.
