Jack-up demand starting to revive

摘要

Rowan believes the jack-up market may have reached a turning point as operators concentrate on shallower projects and exploration. "We are encouraged by our ongoing dialogue with customers and the recent uptick in tender activity for 2017. Jack-up programmes are less expensive and quicker to initiate than deep-water projects, which supports our belief that jack-up activity will strengthen in the coming months, especially in mature basins not requiring investment and new infrastructure," said executive vice president Mark A Keller.
