Note 27 - Related Party Transactions
a) Transactions with entities over which we have significant influence
We provide three rigs on a bareboat basis to Perfomex to service its contract with Opex and two rigs on a bareboat basis to Perfomex II to service its contract with Akal. Perfomex and Perfomex II provide the jack-up rigs under traditional dayrate and technical service agreements to Opex and Akal, respectively. This structure enables Opex and Akal to provide bundled integrated well services to Pemex. The potential revenue earned by Opex and Akal is fixed under each of the Pemex contracts, while Opex and Akal manage the drilling services and related costs on a per well basis. The revenue from these contracts are recognized as "Related party revenue" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On August 4, 2021, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement between BMV and Operadora for the sale of the Company's 49% interest in each of the Opex and Akal joint ventures, as well as the acquisition of a 2% incremental interest in each of Perfomex and Perfomex II joint ventures. The sale was completed on the same date. Until their sale, as a 49% shareholder we were required to fund any capital shortfall in Opex or Akal should the Board of Opex or Akal make cash calls to the shareholders under the provisions of the Shareholders Agreement (see Note 7 - Equity Method Investments). Effective August 4, 2021, Opex and Akal ceased to be related parties.
Management services revenue and bareboat revenues from our related parties for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 consisted of the following:
