The report is built using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research, and in-house analysis by GBI Research’s team of industry experts.

As most countries which possess commercial potential in terms of their offshore reserves seek to achieve energy self-sufficiency, the offshore exploration and production industry is expected to make significant investments in the discovery and development of new offshore reserves. In turn, this will lead to infrastructure investments by exploration and production companies in the form of new build offshore rigs, particularly for untapped shallow water regions with exploration potential. Subsequently, offshore rig construction expenditure is expected to rise from 2011–2015.

As shallow water drilling activity is expected to substantially rise, the business potential for harshenvironment and premium and ultra-premium jack-up rig construction companies is expected to be strong. Also, at present, rig contractors prefer to acquire rival companies as part of their business strategy in order to gain a competitive edge.
