New Contracts, Extensions and Other Updates Since Last Fleet Status Report
Contract Backlog
Valaris has been awarded the following new contracts and contract extensions, with associated contract backlog of approximately $257 million, subsequent to issuing its most recent fleet status report on July 29, 2024. Contract backlog excludes lump sum payments such as mobilization fees and capital reimbursements.
Contract backlog decreased to approximately $4.1 billion from approximately $4.3 billion as of July 29, 2024.
Floater Contract Awards
Six-month priced option exercised by ExxonMobil for drillship VALARIS DS-9. The six-month option will commence in July 2025 in direct continuation of the existing firm program.
Jackup Contract Awards
Three-year contract extension with BP offshore Trinidad for jackup VALARIS 118. The three-year extension is expected to commence in the second quarter 2025 in direct continuation of the existing firm program. The total contract value for the three-year extension period is approximately $168 million.
300-day contract extension with Eni offshore Mexico for jackup VALARIS 117. The 300-day extension is expected to commence in mid-to-late first quarter 2025 following an out of service period to perform planned maintenance after completion of the rig’s existing program. The total contract value for the 300-day extension is $36 million. In addition, the contract extension includes a 150-day priced option.
One-well contract for an undisclosed operator offshore Australia for jackup VALARIS 247. The contract has an estimated duration of 60 days and is expected to commence in direct continuation of the rig’s existing programs.
Other Fleet Status Updates
The contracts between ARO and Saudi Aramco for jackups VALARIS 147 and VALARIS 148 were suspended during the third quarter 2024. Subsequently, ARO elected to terminate these suspended contracts in October 2024. Upon termination of the contracts, the bareboat charter agreements between Valaris and ARO were also terminated and the rigs were returned to Valaris.

Additional Information Regarding this Fleet Status Report
 
Day Rate and Terms. The day rates reflected in this Fleet Status Report are stated in U.S. dollars and include the operating day rates charged to customers, which may include estimated contractual adjustments for changes in operating costs and/or reimbursable cost adjustments for ongoing expenses such as crew, catering, insurance and taxes. The day rates, however, do not include certain types of non-recurring revenues such as lump sum mobilization payments, revenues earned during mobilizations, revenues associated with contract preparation and other non-recurring reimbursable items such as mobilizations and capital enhancements, and the impact of the fair market value adjustments to previously acquired drilling contracts that are recognized during the contract term. Routine and non-routine downtime may reduce the actual revenues recognized during the contract term. Additionally, we sometimes negotiate special rates and/or day rate adjustments with customers that may reduce revenues recognized.

Total Contract Value. Total contract value is the estimated total compensation expected to be received for a contract, including the operating day rate over the estimated firm term of the contract and any non-recurring lump sum payments for items such as mobilization, reactivation and capital upgrades.
