Spends By Sector
In 2006, within the offshore drilling sector, it is estimated that 33% of expenditure was billed by the rig contractors, just over a fifth was earmarked for support, and 6% went towards geoscience. Rigs are the biggest single cost and their share has grown substantially as rig rates have climbed and wells have become increasingly challenging to drill.
Formulated costs for different types of well are fully detailed, subdivided into the rig, engineering, geoscience and support sectors, and further subdivided into individual cost elements for the key offshore drilling services.
Extensive Forecasts
The report estimates that in 2006 $46 bn was spent on shallow water drilling, representing nearly 80% of all drilling expenditure, with approximately $12.5 bn being spent on deep water drilling. By 2011 it is forecast that deep water drilling expenditure will have increased to over $18 bn, whilst shallow water drilling spends will have declined slightly.
