The list is limited in terms of 6th generation ships:

Stena DrillMAX
Generation: 6th
Year Built: 2008
Note: Harsh-environment DP3

Stena Forth
Generation: 6th
Year Built: 2009
Note: DP3 dual-activity

Fatih, Yavuz, Kanuni, Abdülhamid Han
Generation: 6th
Year Built: 2011+
Note: Turkish fleet of ultra-deepwater drillships

Noble Globetrotter I & II
Generation: 6th
Year Built: N/A
Note: Idle ultra-deepwater units

Apollo & Athena
Generation: 6th
Year Built: 2014–2015
Note: Cold-stacked Transocean units

Saipem 12000
Generation: 6th
Year Built: N/A
Note: Samsung design floater

Valaris DS-13 through DS-18
Generation: 6th
Year Built: N/A
Note: GustoMSC/DSME 12000 design series



My educated guess would be the DS-15 since the rumor out there is a 5 well campaign across multiple blocks in the same basin, but that places it in 2026 which seems wrong to me. So take it FWIW.

"Anyone have any leads on which "6th generation" drillship Shell and Petrobras will be using to drill Block 10?"

You could ask badoggy, ssc, or nitwit... they love to talk about ERHC content-related...

Oh, wait! They are just here to keep the shareprice at bay... 🤣
