We are a leading provider of diversified services for the oil and gas industry. We perform contract drilling services with our fleet of 57 offshore drilling units located in key markets worldwide. This fleet consists of 13 semisubmersibles (including five Noble EVA-4000(TM) semisubmersibles), three dynamically positioned drillships, 38 jackup rigs and three submersibles. For additional information on the specifications of the fleet, see "Item 2. Properties-Drilling Fleet." Eight of our jackup rigs and one of our semisubmersibles are capable of operating in harsh environments. In addition to the rigs in our fleet described above, we have purchased options to acquire two jackup rigs: the Maersk Valiant and Maersk Viking (see "Business Development During 2003" in Item 1. Business for additional information on the acquisition of these two purchase options). Approximately 75 percent of the fleet is currently deployed in international markets, principally including the Middle East, Mexico, the North Sea, Brazil, West Africa, India and the Mediterranean Sea. We provide technologically advanced drilling-related products and services designed to create value for our customers. We also provide labor contract drilling services, well site and project management services, and engineering services. Noble Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (which we sometimes refer to in this report as "Noble"), became the successor to Noble Drilling Corporation, a Delaware corporation (which we sometimes refer to as "Noble Drilling") that was organized in 1939, as part of the internal corporate restructuring of Noble Drilling and its subsidiaries effective April 30, 2002. For more information on this restructuring, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Corporate Restructuring." Noble and its predecessors have been engaged in the contract drilling of oil and gas wells for others domestically since 1921 and internationally during various periods since 1939. As used herein, unless otherwise required by the context, the term "Noble" refers to Noble Corporation and the terms "Company", "we", "our" and words of similar import refer to Noble and its consolidated subsidiaries. The use herein of such terms as group, organization, we, us, our and its, or references to specific entities, is not intended to be a precise description of corporate relationships. | |
