Increase the number of offshore rigs in activities around the world

The worldwide offshore rig count for September 2018 has increased year-on-year but is down slightly from August 2018.

As offshore wind power generation spreads to more countries, standardization can help overcome market barriers and spur greater deployment. Early experience in the sector came mainly from more mature energy markets such as Denmark, Germany and the UK. This International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) report examines these three established markets, along with an important emerging market, China. The analysis highlights the development of standards and best practices for new markets to adopt. The ups and downs of offshore rig activities around the world in 2018 were also highlighted.

According to a rig count report issued on Friday by Baker Hughes, a GE company, there were 226 active offshore rigs drilling worldwide in September 2018. This is a decrease compared to the 232 active offshore rigs in August 2018, but an increase compared to the 209 offshore drilling rigs worldwide in September 2017.

Asia had the most active offshore drilling rigs in September (82), followed by the Middle East (48), Europe (30), Latin America (25), US (20), Africa (19) and Canada (2 ). The worldwide rig count, counting both offshore and onshore platforms for September 2018, was 2.258, 20 down from the 2.278 counted in August 2018 and 177 from the 2.081 counted in September 2017.
