Filing receipts
“Depreciation and amortization decreased primarily due to divestitures during the current period as well as the timing of capital additions that were placed in service as compared to retirements among the periods.”
“Demand for midwater semisubmersibles is primarily driven by brownfield activity in mature basins, especially in Northwest Europe, South America, and the Asia Pacific regions, where a generally stable level of baseload demand is supported by infield drilling and plug and abandonment requirements.”
“The decrease was primarily due to reductions within certain corporate charges such as professional fees, corporate leases, and employee-related costs.”
