Seadrill is an offshore drilling company focusing on the floater market, with its fleet primarily located in the Deepwater Golden Triangle. Demand for offshore rigs will remain robust due to high oil prices thanks to extended OPEC+ cuts, the growing petrochemical sector, and EV hiccups. Offshore projects will be highly demanded given improved economics. The market will remain undersupplied as newbuilding prices and reactivation cost a fortune.
