February closed the month at 373 jackups classed as active, which was a five-rig decline compared with the end of January 2025, driven by lower activity in Mexico, Saudi Arabia and rigs rolling off hire in India.  Meanwhile, the floating rig segment (drillships and semisubmersibles) ended February at 141 active assets, which was a two-rig decline versus the end of January due to less units working in Africa and other areas of the world.

January closed the month at 380 jackups classed as active, which was a five-rig decline compared with the end of December 2024, driven by lower activity in Mexico following multiple temporary suspensions due to Pemex’s debt and payment issues. Meanwhile, the floating rig segment (drillships and semisubmersibles) ended January at 144 active assets, which was unchanged when compared with the end of December 2024. During the month, the North Sea and South American markets each increased activity by two rigs, while Asia recorded a decline in activity as did Africa.
