Offshore Drilling Rigs Market by Type (Jackup, Semi-Submersibles, Drillships), by Application (Shallow Water, Deepwater, Ultra-Deepwater) & Geography (North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Africa, ROW) - Global Forecast to 2019
[199 Pages Report] The offshore drilling rigs market report includes the market size and estimation of the global drilling rigs industry in the offshore region. Primarily, offshore drilling rigs can be classified as jackup rigs, semi-submersible rigs, and drillships. The areas of application of drilling rigs in the offshore region are shallow water, deepwater, and ultra-deep water. Jackup rigs are used in the shallow water region, semi-submersible rigs are used in the deepwater region, and drillships are used in ultra-deep water regions of the offshore arena.
Jackup rigs are offshore rigs typically equipped with legs that can be lowered to the seabed such that a foundation is established to support the drilling platform. Once the foundation is installed, the drilling platform is further jacked up to the expected highest waves based on the leg length. Generally, jackup rigs can operate in water depths ranging from 350 to 450 feet.
Semi-submersibles are a type of offshore rigs that are submerged by means of a water ballast system, such that during drilling operations, the lower hull portion is below the water surface. These rigs float above the well through the use of an anchoring system or a computer-controlled DP thruster system. Most of the semi-submersibles are not mobile and are relocated with the help of tugs. Some semi-submersibles move between locations, using their own power when afloat on the pontoons. Semi-submersibles are typically employed in more challenging water conditions than drillships and in water depths ranging from 500 feet to 8,000+ feet.
Drillships are typically used in deepwater applications. These types of offshore rigs are generally self-propelled and are shaped like conventional ships. Drillships can be operated in a moored configuration or can be dynamically positioned (DP) without anchors utilizing their onboard propulsion and station keeping systems. Drillships generally possess a greater load capacity than semi-submersible rigs. This load capacity enables them to carry more supplies onboard, making them better suited for remote offshore drilling. However, operation of these rig types is limited to calmer water conditions than those in which semi-submersibles can operate.
The global offshore drilling rigs market value is expected to reach $102,473 million by 2019, growing at a CAGR of 9.27% from 2014 to 2019. Some of the factors responsible for this growth include increasing expenditure on exploration and production and the rising demand for energy from emerging economies like Africa, Brazil, and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The key concerns for the offshore drilling rigs industry include various environmental concerns and other related government regulations.
The offshore drilling rigs market is also analyzed with respect to Porter's Five Force model. Different market forces, namely, bargaining power of suppliers, bargaining power of buyers, degree of competition, threat of substitutes, and threat of new entrants, are analyzed with respect to the offshore drilling rigs industry.

Offshore drilling rigs are used for drilling and exploration activities in the offshore arena. The high demand for crude oil, along with the maturing of onshore oil and gas wells is driving the market for offshore drilling rigs. The increase in the number of investments from operators, especially for deep and ultra-deep water activities, fuels the growth of the offshore drilling rigs market. Semi-submersibles and jackups dominate the global offshore drilling rigs market, owing to increasing shallow and deepwater explorations. The major regions of the offshore drilling rigs market are Latin America, the Gulf of Mexico, and Western Africa; most offshore explorations and drilling activities take place in these regions.
Growing demand for deepwater activities in the Asia-Pacific region and further drilling into mid ocean is driving the demand for mid and deep water floaters. Additionally, increasing investments with high E&P Capex in these regions are also propelling the growth of the deepwater market. Drillships currently have the largest market size because of increasing ultra-deep water activities in growing offshore regions across the world.
Growing Offshore CAPEX: A driver of the offshore drilling rigs market
The global offshore drilling rigs market has witnessed decent growth, precipitated by the increasing global demand for energy and rising number of investments from operators in deepwater drilling activities. The largest markets for offshore drilling rigs are Latin America, Asia-Pacific, and Africa.
Offshore Drilling Rigs: Market Share, by Geography, 2014
Source: MarketsandMarkets Analysis
The Latin American region has abundant high offshore potential reserves of oil and gas. Furthermore, factors such as increasing investments in E&P CAPEX in the region are leading to growing offshore exploration and production activities, thereby increasing the demand for drilling equipment and offshore rigs.
The progress of the offshore rigs market largely depends on growing exploration activities across the globe. The recent discoveries of oil and gas reserves in remote areas, along with increasing technological advancements in terms of equipment have made drilling operations more feasible and cost-effective.
COSL (China), Nabors (Bermuda), Ensco plc. (U.K.), Diamond Offshore Drilling (U.S.), KCA Deutag (U.K.), and Maersk Drilling (Denmark), are the major players that constitute a significant share of the global offshore drilling rigs market. These players are concentrating on growing markets and are investing heavily to meet the demand from these markets and to reduce contract backlogs. KCA Deutag and Noble Corporation, two of the oldest players, have been gaining traction in this market owing to their vast experience and expanding product portfolios, and through providing drilling services to emerging markets.
Contracts and Agreements: Key strategy
Most of these companies rely mainly on availing contracts for drilling from operators. This is done in order to gain maximum revenue and avail of niche opportunities in the market. To meet the demand for offshore drilling activities and to enhance oil productivity, drilling contractors have opted for contract extensions and agreements as their key strategy.
The major offshore drilling rig types include jackups, semi-submersibles, and drillships. Semi-submersibles are the largest in terms of market value and jackups are the most widely employed rigs for offshore drilling.
