Offshore Drilling Leader Sees Over $1.4 Billion in New Contracts and Extensions
As offshore oil drilling continues to grow, so do the markets for offshore support vessels, offshore rigs and deepwater drilling equipment
Valaris Limited announced new contracts and contract extensions, with an associated contract backlog of approximately $1.14 billion.
President and Chief Executive Officer Anton Dibowitz said, “The contract awards for VALARIS DS-4 and VALARIS DS-16 are great examples of how we are executing on the operating leverage inherent in our business, with day rates transitioning from legacy rates in the low $200,000s to market rates. We are also beginning to see early signs of a recovery in the North Sea jackup market from 2025, as evidenced by several awards at improving day rates.”
