Offshore Drilling Rigs 2011

Rig owners around the world are commissioning more deep- water and shallow-water vessels to be built, with contracts for drill ships, semi-submersibles and offshore platforms increasing. With oil and gas companies expected to raise investment in production projects to more than $380 billion this year, orders for drilling vessels and offshore platforms are increasing.

Asia has been recognized as a region with particularly strong growth potential which in turn, creates new and exciting investment opportunities for the offshore drilling rig market.
