Offshore drilling contractor Transocean has secured a $123 million contract with Reliance Industries for Dhirubhai Deepwater KG1 ultra-deepwater drillship.

Transocean and Reliance Industries signed a binding letter of award for the Dhirubhai Deepwater KG1 for six wells offshore India.

The estimated 300-day program is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2026 and is estimated to contribute approximately $123 million in backlog, excluding additional services and a mobilization fee.

The award also includes multiple options. If all options are exercised, the rig would remain in India through the end of 2029, according to Transocean.
