MD&A
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2026-05-11
As of March 31, 2026, we owned a total of 15 drilling rigs. In addition to our owned assets, as of March 31, 2026, we managed two 7th generation drillships owned by Sonangol EP.
The price of oil has experienced increased volatility and has risen in response to the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, including the current conflict in Iran, which started on February 28, 2026, and the unprecedented closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The Brent oil price was $71 per barrel on Fe…
The price of Brent oil averaged $78 per barrel during the three months ended March 31, 2026 up from $68 per barrel in 2025, driven primarily by ongoing conflicts in the Middle East that disrupted global oil supply during the first quarter of 2026.
Uncertainty persists in the market, particularly in light of concerns over global economic conditions (including the current conflict in Iran), government trade policies and output increases by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other major international producers. This has le…
As global tendering activity accelerates, we see signs that point towards a market recovery in 2027. In addition, we believe oil majors are calling for renewed focus on large-scale exploration and investment, and there is also growing consensus that U.S. shale production is plateauing. As a result, …

As of September 30, 2025, we owned a total of 15 drilling rigs, of which nine were operating, two were undergoing capital upgrade projects, one was preparing for contract commencement in late 2025 or early 2026, following completion of its special periodic survey, and three were stacked. The operati…
The price of Brent oil averaged $70 per barrel during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 down from $80 per barrel in 2024. Global growth in the production of oil and slower growth in demand have put downward pressure on prices.
Uncertainty persists in the market in light of concerns over global economic conditions, government trade policies and output increases by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other major international producers. This has led to the continued deferral of offshore capital expenditure…
The table below shows the global number of rigs on contract and marketed utilization for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024:
Marketed utilization decreased in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the prior year, mainly due to fewer contracted floaters, which were primarily benign environment semi-submersibles.
Controls & procedures
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2026-05-11
On January 1, 2026, we implemented a new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system on a company-wide basis, which resulted in certain changes to our processes and procedures. We utilize the new ERP to assist us in executing our internal control over financial reporting; however, the ERP implementa…
How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
