The global jackup count closed off March at 406 units, which was a four-rig decline compared with February 2024. Among the major areas tracked, Africa and the North Sea each recorded a one-rig decline while other areas of the world contributed a further three-rig decrease, while South America demand increased by one during the same period. For floating rigs, the count at the end of March was unchanged when compared with February 2024. Outstanding floater demand remains strong, with 66 tenders, pre-tenders or direct negotiations still to be awarded equating to a ~99 years of work. The majority of this is coming from Brazil and West Africa, which is providing 45% of these demand days.

The global jackup count closed off the month at 409 units, which is flat compared with the end of January. Among the major areas tracked, the North Sea, Middle East and North America all declined by one rig each while other areas of the world contributed an even increase of three units.

Asia Pacific and Africa recorded a two-rig decline with other areas contributing a further six-rig decline. However, South and North America each increased by two rigs during the period offsetting some of this market softness.
