Hercules Offshore owns the largest shallow-water
jackup rig drilling fleet in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and
the fourth largest worldwide. In addition, we also
operate the world’s largest inland barge drilling fleet.
Expanding our geographic footprint has
been a fundamental element in our business strategy. We
have a growing presence in the international offshore arena
with 12 rigs on contract in regions such as India, Latin
America, Malaysia, the Middle East and West Africa.
With a fleet of 39 offshore drilling
rigs well positioned throughout the world, Hercules Offshore
has the operational flexibility to meet needs of our customers.
Our fleet of 35 jackup rigs are capable
of working in water depths ranging from nine to 350 feet
deep and have the ability to drill to maximum water depths
ranging from 15,000 to 25,000 feet. Our fleet of three
submersible rigs operate in water depths ranging from 12
to 85 feet. Our platform
rig has the drilling, housing and support facilities necessary
for drilling multiple production wells.
There are 27 posted and conventional
barge drilling rigs in our inland barge fleet, which is the
largest in the world. Our
barge drilling fleet is capable of working in water depths
ranging from seven to 20 feet. A posted barge is identical
to a convention barge except that the hull and superstructure
are separated by 10 to 14 foot columns, thus increasing the
water depth capabilities of the rig. The majority of
our barge drilling rigs are suitable for deep gas drilling
up to 30,000 feet.
Our ability to offer quality service, operational excellence
and versatile equipment designed to meet the needs of our customers
makes Hercules Offshore a leader in the offshore drilling industry.
