Offshore Drilling Rigs Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report, by Type and, by Water Depth : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032

Introduction

Offshore drilling rigs is the essential part of drilling below the seabed. This drilling method is used to extract natural sources of gas and oil from earth. Offshore drilling rigs are basically divided into three types that is jack-up rigs, semi-submersible rigs and drill ship. These drilling rings are used in shallow water, deep water and ultra-deep water. In shallow water jack-up rigs are used, semi-submersible rigs are used in deep water and in ultra-deep water drill ships are used in the offshore area. Offshore drilling rigs provides facilities to extract, store and process petroleum and natural gas.

Jack-up rigs are offshore rigs which are equipped with legs which can be lowered to the seabed such that the foundation is established highest to support the drilling platform. Semi-submersible is the type of offshore rigs which are submerged by water ballast system in such a way that at the time of drilling operation, the lower hull portion is below the water surface. Drillship is generally self-propelled and are conventional ships shape. These ships can be operated in a moored configuration.

Market Scope and Structure Analysis

COVID-19 Impact analysis

• The prices of oil were declined in the year 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
• The oil and gas industries were shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic which decreases the demand for offshore drilling rigs which affected the offshore drilling rigs market.
• Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the oil and gas upstream projects in the offshore area were delayed.
• The recovery of prices of the crude oil after 2020 is expected to be profitable for offshore drilling rigs market.

Top Impacting Factors
