Transocean 已签署最终协议，将以全股票交易方式收购 Valaris，交易价值约为 58 亿美元。合并后，Transocean 将拥有 73 座海上钻井平台（按预计数量计），其中包括 33 艘超深水钻井船、9 座半潜式钻井平台和 31 座现代化自升式钻井平台。

按备考基准计算，合并后的公司预计企业价值约为170亿美元，合同积压约为100亿美元。Transocean公司除了现有的成本削减计划外，还确定了与此次交易相关的超过2亿美元的额外成本协同效应，预计到2026年，该计划将累计节省超过2.5亿美元。

合并完成后，Transocean 将继续在瑞士注册成立，其主要行政办公室设在休斯顿。合并后的公司将由 Transocean 总裁兼首席执行官 Keelan Adamson 领导，Jeremy Thigpen 将担任执行董事长。

Transocean signed a definitive agreement to acquire Valaris in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $5.8 billion. The combination will result in a pro forma fleet of 73 offshore drilling rigs, including 33 ultra-deepwater drillships, nine semisubmersibles and 31 modern jackups.

On a pro forma basis, the combined company will have an estimated enterprise value of about $17 billion and a contract backlog of approximately $10 billion. Transocean identified more than $200 million in incremental cost synergies related to the transaction, in addition to its existing cost-reduction program, which is expected to deliver more than $250 million in aggregate savings through 2026.

Following completion, Transocean will remain incorporated in Switzerland with its primary administrative office in Houston. The combined company will be led by Transocean President and CEO Keelan Adamson, with Jeremy Thigpen serving as Executive Chairman of the Board.
