Transocean’s Contract Drilling Revenue Breakdown

(All the figures are in million dollars except percentages)

From 586 million in Q1 2022 to 649 million in Q1 2023, the total fleet size for deepwater floaters, harsh environment floaters, high-specification jackups, midwater floaters, and ultra-deepwater floaters climbed by 11%.

Deepwater Floaters

Once a popular segment, deepwater floaters have declined in recent years. Transocean’s revenue from this division was 196 million in 2022 Q1, declining to 166 million in 2022 Q4 and 165 million in 2023 Q1. This indicates a huge 16% drop. The loss in deepwater floater revenue can be linked to several factors, including a reduction in deepwater exploration and production operations and a change in industry attention to other areas.

Harsh Environment Floaters

Another key sector for Transocean, harsh environment floaters, has shown relative stability during the analyzed period. This sector generated 196 million in revenue in 2022 Q1. Although revenue fell slightly to 166 million in 2022 Q4, it remained practically unchanged at 165 million in 2023 Q1. This segment’s growth rate is negative, at -16%. Despite the industry’s issues, the consistency of revenue from harsh environment floaters illustrates the industry’s resiliency and demand for drilling services in difficult settings such as the North Sea and Arctic regions.

Ultra-Deepwater Floaters

the other side, ultra-deepwater floaters have grown rapidly, providing a bright spot for Transocean. Revenue in this category was 390 million in 2022 Q1, rising to 440 million in 2022 Q4 and 484 million in 2023 Q1. This large increase of 24% in the fourth quarter of 2022 and a continuous growth rate of 11% in the first quarter of 2023 demonstrates the high demand for sophisticated drilling solutions in ultra-deepwater locations. The expansion of offshore exploration and production activities in places like the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil has contributed to the segment’s long-term growth.
