Valaris was formed by the combination of two leading offshore drillers with decades of experience and knowledge, creating the most capable, effective, and highest-performing offshore drilling service company in the world.
The diverse rig fleet of ultra-deepwater drillships, versatile semisubmersibles, and modern shallow-water jackups is capable of meeting a wide spectrum of customers’ well program requirements. The fleet includes 13 drillships, 5 semisubmersibles, 35 jackups, and 2 deepwater managed units.
The rig fleet is among the most technologically advanced in the industry, and its well-trained crews perform at the highest levels in the most challenging offshore environments.
Several operators have used Valaris rigs in Trinidad and Tobago in recent years, including bpTT, Shell, EOG, and Perenco.
