If your source is correct it would look like Stena Tay could be first there as it is contracted to Shell see below.

It appears for now that there will only be two ways for operators to get the rigs they are looking for. The first, and more probable method will be farming-in a slot on a rig.
To date two deepwater rigs in Brazil are using this type of arrangement. Shell has brought in Stena Tay, a 7500ft semi converted from an accommodations unit last year. This is under a five-year contract to Shell with a five-year option. The rig will drill one well for Shell - notable as the first deepwater well (2000m) spud by an international operator - and then be farmed-out to Amerada Hess for three wells.
