1998 World Oil Rig Fleet

Jackups
Arabian Drilling Co.
This year's listing contains 364 jackup units, including

existing rigs and announced newbuildings, an increase of
two from last year. The listing excludes shallow-water
units working in inland waters, several rigs of the Fonner
Soviet Union fleet, and those in non-drilling modes. The
net gain of two rigs includes two newbuilds for Rowan,
and one each for Cliffs and Mexico's Perforadora Central.
Broughton's Mr. Bice sank and was declared a loss; and
three other listings were deleted.
Jackup owners have been adversely affected by falling
crude prices, with a notable drop in the high dayrates
experienced in late 1997 and early 1998. In the Gulf of
Mexico, dayrates in late 1998 for 300-ft cantilever units
had dropped to 1996 levels. Contractors were faring better in other world areas, although fourth-quarter dayrates
were below first-half levels.
Ensco continues to dominate jackup ownership, with 37
listings; Noble Drilling remains number two with 32. The
consolidation of Reading & Bates and Falcon gives the
new R&B Falcon 26 rigs, now leading Global Marine and
Santa Fe, with 23 rigs each. The top 10 owners, all U.S.based, except Sedco Forex, now control 219 rigs, 60% of
the total fleet. In total, 59 owners are listed, including
both competitive contractors and national companies.
For utilization and geographic location, in its October
Offshore Rig Locator, Offshore Data Services shows
301 jackups working, out of a total worldwide fleet of 380
rigs, for 79% utilization, down 11 % from last year. The
U.S. Gulf of Mexico had 94 rigs working, of a total 130
available, for 72% utilization. The second most active
area was the North Sea, with 41 of its 42 rigs active. The
Arabian Gulf had 35 of its 43 units working; 23 of SE
Asia's 31 rigs were active, as were 21 of 28 rigs off West
Africa. In the Indian Subcontinent and the rest of the Far
East, 30 rigs of a total 34 jackups were working. Other
active areas were: the Red Sea, 13; Mexico, 12;
Venezuela, seven; and Brazil, six. Only one of eight rigs
was working in the Caspian Sea.

Semi-submersibles
Listings for this rig category continue to increase, with this
year's total up 18 units from one year ago, to 165 rigs. This
excludes those owned by companies of the Former Soviet
Union. The earlier rush to deep water, particularly in the
Gulf of Mexico, spurred contractors to both convert nondrilling units and build new semis. Even with the oil price
downturn, dayrates for 4th generation semis in late 1998 have
held up at $175,000+ in the Gulf of Mexico, and $190,000 or
higher in the North Sea, according to Offshore Data Services.
Notable addditions include six Amethyst newbuilds plus
one conversion for the Petrodrill (Pride-Foramer) group, to
work in Brazil. Ocean Rig ASA is building four new Bingo
9000 units; and Sedco Forex is adding three Express rigs to
its fleet. Newbuildings and acquisition of an FSU rig have
added one listing each to Global Marine, Noble, RB Falcon,
Ensco and Ilion LLC. One rig, the Spirit of Columbus, was
converted to non-drilling mode in Campos basin. Several
ownership changes are also reflected in the listings; and
the three largest contractors remain Diamond Offshore,
Sedco Forex and Transocean, with 30, 23 and 18 semisubmersibles, respectively.
According to the Offshore Rig Locator, 123 of 151 total
semis in the worldwide fleet were working in October; and
the competitive fleet of 135 rigs was 93% utilized. The North
Sea had 42 of its 48 units working; the U.S. Gulf, 26 of 34
rigs; Brazil 17 of 18; and West Africa, 13 of 14. S.E. Asia, the
Far East and Australia reported 11 of a total 19 rigs working;
two of seven rigs were active in the Caspian area.

Drillships and Barges

This category includes drillships and non-inland barges,
which number 37 and 44, respectively, plus the Ku/Ju Arctic
drilling vessel. The total of 82 listings is a net increase of 12
units from a year ago.
For drillships, the total of 37 rigs is the net result of three
deletions, including canceling of Smedvig's West Navion II
(CADS II) and R&B Falcon's Peregrine VI, and addition of
seven newbuildings. R&B Falcon lists seven rigs, followed by
Transocean, five, with three newbuilds; Global Marine, four,
with two newbuilds; Deepwater Drilling, three newbuilds;
Noble Drilling, three; Pride, two newbuilds; and ONGC, two.
Navis and Smedvig/Navion list one newbuild each.
Ensco operates the largest barge fleet, followed by
Lagoven, Maersk and Maraven. Ensco, Maersk and Sedco
Forex report three, two and three newbuilds, respectively. In
October, 35 of the world's active fleet of 41 barges were
working in Venezuela (Lake Maracaibo).
For drillship activity, the October Offshore Rig Locator
notes 13 of 26 active rigs working: four of six in Brazil; two
of seven in lndia/S.E. Asia; three of five in the Central U.S.
Gulf; two each in Mexico and West Africa. Two each were
not working in Northern and Southern Europe.

Listings in this section comprise mobile offshore pontoontype drilling units capable of drilling in open waters generally
70 to greater than 100 ft deep. Listings do not include
posted barges designed to work in shallow inland/protected
waters. Noble Drilling's major move last year to convert
five of its submersible units to semi-submersible status
and sale of Molikpaq to the Sakhalin Energy Investment
Co. reduced this rig category to nine listings. No further
changes have been reported.
The three Arctic drilling vessels, G/omar Beaufort Sea /,
SDC/SOC// and Kullu (see Drillships and Barges), are
reportedly stacked in far-northern locations. For the
submersible rigs, according to the October Offshore Rig
Locator, Noble Drilling has three rigs stacked ready or on
standby, and its Fri Radii is reportedly a candidate for future
conversion to semi status. R&B Falcon's three rigs are
working in the U.S. Gulf, as is Atwood Oceanic's Richmond.
