About Ensco:
- Ensco brings energy to the world as a global provider of offshore drilling services to the petroleum industry. With a fleet of ultra-deepwater semisubmersible and premium jackup drilling rigs, Ensco serves customers with high-quality equipment, a well-trained workforce and a strong record of safety and reliability.
A record of growth and disciplined risk management
- Ensco rose from humble beginnings to become one of the industry’s premier global offshore contract drilling companies through acquisitions and new construction. Prudent investments and strict expense management are the drivers behind our financial success. Shareholders’ equity has grown to $5.5 billion and cash on our balance sheet now exceeds $1 billion.
Sole focus on offshore drilling around the world
- Ensco focuses on offshore drilling in shallow and ultra-deep water in virtually all of the major oil and gas markets around the world.
Right mix of assets to maximize profitability
- Committed to providing customers with reliable, high-quality offshore rigs, Ensco’s fleet is comprised of 40 premium jackups and eight ultra-deepwater semisubmersibles (four of which are under construction) and one barge rig. Continuous fleet high-grading ensures that Ensco has the right fleet for today and tomorrow.
- Our premium jackup fleet is the second largest in the world and is comprised of rigs with varying capabilities to meet the diverse requirements of our customers. To expand our ultra-deepwater capabilities, we embarked on a $3 billion+, seven-rig construction program. The ENSCO 8500 Series^® ultra-deepwater semisubmersibles are designed to address the “heart of the deepwater market.”

Financially Strong
- Ensco is fiscally conservative and delivers some of the highest operating margins in the industry. Shareholders’ equity has more than doubled and cash flow has almost quadrupled since 2005. Over this period, we have invested $800 million in our jackup fleet and more than $2 billion on our ultra-deepwater newbuild program. With more than $1 billion in cash and the lowest leverage ratio (4%) in our sector, Ensco is well positioned for further growth opportunities.
