Chartering and operation of ultra-deep water rigs
With the reliability and experience of being the first to operate a semi-submersible unit anchored in water depths exceeding 1,000 meters in Brazil, Foresea continues to innovate by chartering and operating state-of-the-art platforms and vessels, ensuring efficiency and quality.
Drilling Units
Our drilling fleet consists of four drillships and one semisubmersible platform. One of the main highlights in our operations is the use of MPD (Managed Pressure Drilling), a tool present in the company's units, which adds even more safety to offshore activities, increasing operational reliability and reducing costs and environmental risks.
