Preparing for its future

摘要

New offshore drilling company is set to make its market splashdown in 2016 with new rigs and new approach. Fortune favors the bold, or so the saying goes. Launching a new company in a highly competitive market like offshore drilling would certainly attract Fortuna's interest, but being prepared is what will help carry any startup to the bank. Preparation enables new companies to stay ahead of and stand apart from the competition. Experience teaches that preparation also will carry a company far. Preparation and experience are two ways Cayman Island-based Blue Ocean Drilling is setting itself apart from the pack. A deep understanding of its clients - the operator - is another. "The focus for us has been to look at what operators want," said Tony Beebe, executive vice president of operations for the company. "They want a rig that drills efficiently and reliably and is crewed by well-trained personnel. Those are the fundamental basics. We hope to do those as well as or better than anybody else in the market. It is a tall order."
