Latin America

摘要

Floater demand in Latin America is expected to climb steadily throughout 2020. In South America, this will primarily be accomplished with drillships, for which demand will start the year at 23, but close out the period with 28, the majority of which will be for work in Brazil, particularly with foreign operators. Semi demand in South America will also grow, but only by a couple of units, from 15 to 17, and again Brazil will account for that change. As for Central America, drillship demand is expected to stay flat with a single unit, but demand for semis could double from three to six. That increase will come from operators in Mexico, both PEMEX and foreign oil companies.
