Keppel FELS Brasil secures two FPSO topside contracts worth appr S$381.4 million

EAS seals Petrobras rig deal Up-To-Date

Brazil's state-run oil company Petrobras said today that local shipyard Estaleiro Atlantico Sul (EAS) had won the tender to build seven drilling rigs in Brazil.

News wires 11 February 2011 15:03 GMT

The contract is worth $4.64 billion, which corresponds to a reduction of $13 million with respect to EAS' original offer, said Petrobras in a statement.

The total value puts each unit price at around $662.4 million.

EAS is a consortium formed by South Korea's Samsung Heavy Industries and local construction giants Queiroz Galvao and Camargo Correa.

The first rig is scheduled to enter operations in 2015, said Petrobras.

Companies that also presented bids included Brazilian consortium Alusa Galvao and overseas giants such as Singapore's Sembcorp Marine and Keppel Corp.

Petrobras plans to commission a total of up to 28 new drilling rigs to be built in Brazil to explore oil reserves in deep waters, including the pre-salts.

According to initial plans, the rigs were expected to be delivered between 2013 and 2018.

But dun understand about the bonus issue(?), will be on research for (?).... ..... anyway, chart revision, support tips at 35 days ema, if violate may see 10.96 as the next strongest support. mid term resistance at 11.48, stronger resistance at 11.70 year high. Smiley

Think I better queue up to pick up some lots at the current "low" price first thing tomorrow morning before I miss the boat.

Today Keppel Land announced >doubled final div to 18c (vs 8c last yr). Since Kepcorp owned >52% of Keppel land, its div tmr should be better than last yr too.

I bought some lots in Dec 2010 when the price was below $10.80.

Anyway, looks like Kerp Corp expanding into the oil-rich North Sea area with its investment in Skeie Energy AS and more investment in Tianjin China (water treatment business)..

Think the above two announcements nicely timed to coincide with tomorrow's earnings announcement.

you bot kpc recently ? ?? in oct 10 or earlier. in that case, just need to monitor company news, that's all will do. but opportunity wise, can buy into other counters that was cheap, says $0.86 - $1.00 , shld be quite stable if manage to get around here. pennies stock $0.01 -$0.295 i use it for punting only. $0.495 - $0.85, a bit expensive, so need to do a bit of research. Smiley

my view... ....

Yeah! Kep Land's announcement was fantastic, record 1 Billion profit! Wow!

Kep Corp's price trend should reverse tomorrow, at least after their announcement after 5pm tomorrow.

YOU GOT THE LOOK Smiley

Is the stock reacting to the news of the termination of order by Noble? If so, I think it is an over-reaction especially when we consider that they have a new order from Clearwater which more than make up for the Noble order loss.

Can someone shed light into the downslide in price these couple of days?

Keppel Corp. (BN4.SG) is off 0.4% at $11.32, despite announcing contracts for two newbuild jackup rigs from Clearwater Capital for US$360 million ($462.1 million); it also announced the termination of a US$152 million drillship upgrade contract from Noble.

DMG says the cancellation with Noble is “not a cause for concern” as it was due to a change in contract status with its end client, Petrobras. The house keeps its Buy rating and $12.00 target on Keppel, and estimates net outstanding orderbook rose $270 million to $5.5 billion with deliveries stretching up to end-2013.

Separately, OCBC notes that Clearwater is an investment firm, not a rig operator or oil company: “This is the second announcement by Keppel relating to orders secured by an investment firm in the last three months and underscores the confidence the investment community has in the offshore rig market.”

The house maintains its Buy rating and $12.50 fair value estimate. SembCorp Marine (S51.SG) is also down 0.4% at $5.12, perhaps reflecting Friday's slight drop in oil prices, which normally weighs on rig builders.

Keppel Corp: Could see some interests after Co. announced its first contract for the year, worth US$360m, to build two premium jack-up rigs for Clearwater, with options for two more units, which if exercised would bring the total contract value to above US$730m.The new contracts are not expected to impact Keppel''s NTA or EPS for the current FY but are likely to add to already-elevated confidence over demand for high spec jack-ups…..

In separately news, grp announced that Noble Corp. have terminated a US$152m contract to upgrade a drill ship, however grp notes that cancellation is unlikely to weigh on Keppel shares as partnership with Noble "remains steadfast" and grp will now be able to take on more jobs in an improving market….

We note that market is tipping for KepCorp to clinch an estimated $4.5b contracts worth this yr (Excluding Petrobas) and new order places Kep’s orderbook to an approximately $5b (including options). At current price, grp trades at a forward PE of 13.79x vs its weighted of 14.2x and all time high of 22.1x. Grp is scheduled to report results tomorrow. Resistance for today tipped at year-to-date high at $11.70.

keepel corp resistance at 11.48. my view : )

SINGAPORE (Dow Jones)--A unit of Singapore-listed Keppel Corp. Ltd. (BNA.SG) and Noble Corp. (NE) have terminated a US$152 million contract to upgrade a drill ship on mutually acceptable terms, Keppel said Saturday.

The contract between Keppel Offshore & Marine Ltd.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Keppel FELS Brasil, and Noble to upgrade the vessel--Noble Muravlenko--was scheduled to take place in 2013.

"We respect Noble's decision and our partnership with them remains steadfast. We have been compensated for the cancellation and still have two drillship projects with Noble which also intends to award more projects to Keppel. Our yard capacity for 2013 will now allow us to take on more jobs in an improving market," said Chow Yew Yuen, president, Keppel O&M (Americas), in a statement to Singapore Exchange.

Keppel had signed the deal with Noble in December 2009, the statement said, adding that the termination isn't expected to have any material impact on the net tangible assets or earnings per share of Keppel Corp. for the current financial year.
