Offshore Drilling Service Industry The offshore drilling industry is a multi-billion dollar per year enterprise. While leading players like Transocean (NYSE:RIG), Diamond Offshore (NYSE:DO), Ensco (NYSE:ESV) and Noble (NYSE:NE) represent a significant percentage of the operating rigs, there are dozens of smaller players throughout the world and the market capitalization of the publicly-traded companies in the sector exceeds $50 billion.

Offshore Day Rates: Offshore drilling revenue is a function of day rates and utilization rate, with day rates representing the price and utilization representing volume. A Offshore Day Rates is the amount of money that a company receives for a day's drilling activity. Like any price, Offshore Day Rates is a function of both demand for a service and the cost of providing it - rates typically move up quickly when demand spikes, and specialty equipment (used in difficult or harsh conditions) always carries a premium.
