Products and Services
- Drillships:
Valaris Limited owns 11 drillships, which are among the most advanced offshore drilling rigs. Drillships are particularly valuable for their mobility and their capability to drill in deep waters. These vessels are equipped with the latest technology for drilling operations in challenging environments, making them suitable for global exploration and development projects.
- Dynamically Positioned Semisubmersible Rigs:
The company operates 4 dynamically positioned semisubmersible rigs. These rigs offer enhanced stability and are capable of operating in deepwater conditions. Their dynamic positioning system allows them to maintain their position over the drilling site without being anchored to the sea floor, which is crucial for precision drilling in environments susceptible to harsh weather conditions.
- Moored Semisubmersible Rig:
Valaris also has a moored semisubmersible rig in its fleet. Unlike dynamically positioned rigs, this rig is anchored to the seabed, providing stability through its mooring system. This type of rig is well-suited for drilling in a variety of water depths, offering flexibility for operations in both stable and challenging conditions.
- Jackup Rigs:
With 40 jackup rigs, Valaris has a robust fleet capable of shallow water drilling. Jackup rigs are mobile, self-elevating platforms equipped with legs that can be extended to the ocean floor, providing a stable drilling environment above the surface. These rigs are commonly used for drilling and servicing wells in relatively shallow waters, making them versatile tools for a broad range of exploration and development activities.
