With massive selling pressures today & weeks to come, rest assured that the aggressive supports will die out in due time. So take this opportunity to sell.
Remember folks, the fake support will not last long!
Aiyoyo, people when sick also can cure mah after eat the medicine. So, what’s the big deal with oil rig sink, then re-built again lor after getting the payments from insurance....
So, don’t missed the chance to Sailang on the weak price today, I strongly believe it will spike up like mad after this accident have been fully overcome in soonest of time !
Velesto will be on the dire straits till 2022 folks. A wise investor will switch to other potential counters. The unwise one will still be in-denial folks!

Thanks sheep for news update! Drilling activities had not even started! And that’s this “rapid penetration into formation”. What does that mean? Any expert here? Pls explain.
“The offshore drilling services provider said the incident occurred at the worksite due to rapid penetration into the formation on Monday while operating for a client.
The rig tilted and subsequently submerged at the location today.
Velesto said drilling activities had not started and no well had been drilled.”
Doesn’t sound like Velesto fault, more like Shell asks then drill that exact location that caused the rig to fall off. Shell also must compensate?! Lol
I think "rapid penetration into the formation" mean the foundation of sea bed not strong cause one of the naga 7 leg glide further and caused one side of the rig tilted.
... Naga-7 is currently contracted by Conoco Philips when this mishap happened.
Conoco Philips provided Velesto with Geotechnical data, soil boring data, etc. Velesto analyzed data, and accepted the risk. Their insurance company also accepted the risks. Based on the geotechnical data, there should be no issue with jacking up the legs. So, geological uncertainty is taken care off, risk accepted by Velesto & insurance.
Prior to start operation, when the rig arrived at location, they will need to do pre-loading. All the pre-loading loads were planned as per the Geotechnical data. With the planned loads, the legs should be able to withstand the weight of the hull once the legs are being jacked up.
What happened was what the O&G called a "punch through", where instead of the legs able to handle the hull weight and stand firm with the formation support, unfortunately the formation gave away, that caused the legs to rapidly penetrated the soil below (thus the punch through). Now, one leg go deep, while the rest did not. That's why the rig got senget one and eventually sank.
Whose fault is it? Need to do investigation. Is it Conoco Philips fault? ...they already gave the Geotechnical data and Velesto + insurance accepted.
Could argue that the Geotechnical data is not valid...then need to prove. Could argue human error due to wrong procedures during preloading etc, then insurance wont pay Velesto due to crew error...
So, wait for investigation....how long? It'll take months...plus the rig now is at the bottom of the sea. In the mean time, the future revenue from Naga-7 is gone. Salvage the rig? too expensive at that water depth....most probably will become artificial reef.
... As a technical person, would I put my money in Velesto now? I takut lah. But a stock trader on market sentiment and oil prices or chart reader...that's a different story...their strategy will be different
contracts wise... if you have access to someone in Velesto, then check if it's long term or short term. If short term i.e 1 or 2 wells, then tough to keep the rig fully manned without any jobs. They will need to stack up to cut manpower cost.
Velesto is competing with modern rig which has "Full Offline Capability" ... Velesto rigs don't have this capability....you can google if you are wondering what it's all about. This is a significant cost saver in operations.
But, Velesto can always play the PNB card...PNB go to government...then government go to Petronas... then dapat la jobs with Petronas lol....easy money
Marine warranty surveyor representing insurance company was there during rig move. Nothing can proceed without his approval. Accident happens. Velesto exposures are the deductiblea and loss of businss opportunity. Contract still in tact unless they cannot find replacement rig and default. Maybank analyst quick to jump on reporting.
Wow Don't hope for insurance to cover! Velesto might have to pay for contract lost if cannot replace the rig in stipulated time! Triple lost: 1. Lost of Rig 2. Lost of revenue from rig 3. Contract lost - might have to pay for lost of revenue to conoco if cannot replace the rig on certain time frame.
