The global offshore rig count for jackup and floating rigs for week 19 as of Monday 4th May, 2026
April 2026 closed the month at 364 jackups classed as active, which was a three-rig decline when compared with the end of March 2026, driven by lower activity in the Middle East, Asia Pacific and South America, however this was partially offset by higher demand in Africa and the North Sea. Meanwhile, the floating rig segment (drillships and semisubmersibles) closed the month at 132 rigs working, which was a six-rig decrease versus the end of the previous month. This decrease was driven by lower rig activity in the South America, the North Sea and Africa during the month.

January 2026 closed the month at 370 jackups classed as active, which was a six-rig decline when compared with the end of December 2025, driven by lower demand in Mexico and Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, the floating rig segment (drillships and semisubmersibles) closed the month at 132 active rigs working, which was an increase of three units versus the end of the previous month. This increase was driven by increased rig activity in West Africa and the North Sea as well as other areas of the world.
