Home : Drilling Operations


Stena Drilling operations have become increasingly international in recent years, covering the main regions in offshore drilling today. Our portfolio of clients has grown to reflect our worldwide operations in areas such as the North Sea (UK and Norway), Mediterranean, North Africa, West Africa, South America, Caribbean, South East Asia and Australasia.

Our operations focus on maximising performance, while maintaining a high level of safety. Robust and meticulous maintenance and upgrade programs maintain our rigs in top operational condition, which leads to flawless operations, ultimately satisfying our clients' project investments. Our crews are carefully selected and guided through structured training and behavioural programs, open discussion and a clear Safety Management System, which provides a comprehensive and systematic vision of our objectives and how they are to be reached.

Stena Drilling's operations are centralised in our head office in Aberdeen, Scotland, where the core Operations function is fully supported by the departments of HSE, Engineering, Personnel, Projects, Purchasing and Warehousing -- ensuring smooth, continuous operation of the rig fleet. Each overseas rig is not only given full support from head office, but also benefits from its own operations-base office, which is staffed to meet the specific requirements of the rig and the dictates of the client-operator.
