Offshore drilling industry financial performance

Overview

Offshore drilling companies Seadrill Limited and Dolphin Drilling have reported positive financial results and increased contract coverage for 2026.

Seadrill raised its full-year 2026 guidance for operating revenues and adjusted EBITDA following second-quarter results that showed higher average day rates and increased operating days for specific rigs. The company also added approximately $200 million to its contract backlog through new awards and extensions in Malaysia and the U.S. Gulf.

Dolphin Drilling reported increased second-quarter and first-half revenue and EBITDA compared to the previous year. The company attributed this growth to strong operational performance, completed refinancing, and securing multi-year contract awards for the Paul B. Loyd Jr. and Borgland Dolphin, which extends fleet coverage through 2030 and 2031.
