Deepwater Millennium is a fifth generation Samsung/Reading & Bates designed, dynamic positioned (DP) Marshall Islands-flagged drillship owned by Transocean. The vessel is capable of drilling in water depths up to 8,100 ft (upgradable to 10,000 ft) using an 18.75 in (47.6 cm), 15,000 psi blowout preventer (BOP), and a 21 in (53 cm) outside diameter (OD) marine riser.[3]


History

Built originally for R&B Falcon, she was completed in 1999 by Samsung Heavy Industries in Geoje, South Korea. In 2001 R&B Falcon merged with Transocean Sedco-Forex. She is the third of five Deepwater Pathfinder class ships.

After initial work in the Gulf of Mexico, Deepwater Millennium drilled wells off West Africa and Brazil. With the exception of one well off Nova Scotia in the summer of 2002, she has been in the Gulf continuously since 2001. Her work includes wells for Kerr-McGee, Pioneer, Marathon Oil, Mariner, Chevron Corporation, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Statoil, and Petrobras.[4]
