Keppel signs LOI to build Floatel vessel
Keppel Fels has signed a letter of intent to build a harsh environment accommodation semi-submersible for Sweden’s Floatel International.
If the contract is executed, the $315 million DSS 20NS design semi-submersible is expected to be delivered in July 2014.
The new vessel will be able to accommodate 440 persons in single bed cabins and will be equipped with Dynamic Positioning 3 capability.
The vessel will be the fourth accommodation semi-submersible built for Floatel by Keppel Fels following the 2010 delivery of the Floatel Superior and the Floatel Reliance and the order of the Floatel Victory in 2011.
The Floatel Reliance is under charter to Petrobras in Brazil’s Campos basin, while the Floatel Superior is operating on the Oseberg field, off Norway, for Statoil.
As previously reported by Upstream, the Floatel Victory, which is secheduled for delivery in 2014, will head to BP’s Clair Ridge development West of Shetland in June 2015 for an initial firm period of one year, with options.

STOCKS NEWS SINGAPORE-Citi ups target prices for rigbuilders
Reuters (28 Mar 2012)
In addition to orders from Brazil's Petrobras,  Singaporerigbuilders such as Keppel Corp Ltd and Sembcorp Marine Ltd will benefit from oil prices at current levels, as more exploration and production activity underpins the sector, Citigroup said.
The broker raised its target price for Keppel to S$12.80 from S$12.00 and for  Sembcorp Marine  to S$6.10 from S$5.90, but said Sembcorp is better positioned to secure more than six rig orders from Petrobras, due to economies of scale.
Citi also noted that crude oil prices at $125 a barrel are at a sweet spot and should encourage more exploration and production spending, and may further tighten rig availability.
Citi raised its target price for Sembcorp Industries Ltd to S$6.00 from S$5.83, and kept its buy rating on all three companies.
Shares of Keppel Corp, the largest rigbuilder, were up 1.2 percent at S$10.89, while smaller rival Sembcorp Marine's shares were up 0.8 percent at S$5.27. Sembcorp Industries rose 0.6 percent to S$5.18.
Sembcorp Marine and Sembcorp Industries have outperformed a 24 percent rise in the FT ST Oil& Gas index so far this year, while Keppel has underperformed.
