Maersk Drilling supports global oil and gas production by providing high-efficiency drilling services to oil companies around the world. We command an extensive and technologically advanced fleet of six harsh environment jack-up rigs, two deepwater semi-submersibles, four 350 ft & two 375 ft jack-up rigs and ten cantilevered drilling barges. We will add an additional innovative deepwater semi-submersible to our fleet in 2010.
A POWERFUL FLEET
We are a leader in the North Sea, where we operate the world's largest and most advanced harsh environment jack-up rigs at water depths up to 150 m. Highly automated, these provide safe working conditions for our crew and increased drilling efficiency for our customers. We have operated jack-up rigs for over 35 years, including 375 & 350 ft jack-ups in areas such as Southeast Asia, Australia, the Mediterranean, the Middle East and the Gulf of Mexico.
We are also experienced in operating semi-submersibles and our highly advanced deepwater development semi-submersible is capable of operating in water up to 3,000 m deep. Offering flexibility and efficiency to customers, this is the first in a series of three identical rigs.
Egyptian Drilling Company - a joint venture with Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation - owns and operates a fleet of more than 55 land rigs and 5 jack-up rigs in the Middle East.
