History and Development
Borr Drilling Ltd. was founded in 2016 with the objective of building a modern fleet of jack-up drilling rigs and repositioning assets in the global offshore drilling market.
The company initially expanded by acquiring modern rigs from companies undergoing restructuring during a downturn in the offshore drilling sector.
During its early years, Borr Drilling focused on increasing fleet size, securing contracts with major oil operators and deploying rigs in regions with active offshore drilling demand.
Between 2017 and 2019, the company rapidly expanded its fleet and strengthened its presence in major offshore markets, positioning itself as one of the largest operators of modern jack-up rigs.
In recent years, Borr Drilling has focused on improving fleet utilization, securing new drilling contracts and continuing operational investments aligned with the recovery of offshore exploration activity in global energy markets.
