Transocean Ltd
Transocean Ltd. is an offshore drilling contractor. It owns and operates drilling rigs that search for and help drill oil and gas wells in deep water and harsh offshore areas. Its main customers are large oil and gas companies and national oil companies that hire a rig when they need to drill a well the customer does not want to build and run itself. The company makes money by contracting its rigs and crews to customers, usually through day-rate drilling contracts and related services. Transocean provides the equipment, the drilling expertise, and the trained crews needed to safely drill wells from floating rigs in some of the most technically demanding environments. Its business is tied to the spending plans of energy producers, especially for complex offshore projects. What makes Transocean different is that it sits at a specialized point in the oilfield value chain: it is not an oil producer, but the contractor that performs the drilling work offshore. That means its earnings depend on the demand for advanced rigs, the mix of long-term contracts, and the technical difficulty of each job. The company’s fleet and operating know-how are its core assets, and customers pay for access to those assets rather than buying a finished product.
