The rig count tables below include all jackups, semi-submersibles, and drillships. Marketed contracted reflects all marketed rigs that have a contract in place. This does not reflect the number of rigs actually working at any given time as some contracted rigs may be moving between locations, undergoing maintenance, waiting on weather, etc.
The information provided and much more data on the offshore rig fleet can be sourced via S&P Global Energy proprietary offshore rigs information product: Petrodata™ Rigs.
