Age of Jackup Fleet
Water Depth (feet)
Despite 126 newbuild deliveries since 2003, majority of worldwide
jackup fleet remains older than 25 years
22% of today’s jackups are mat-supported and/or have less than 200ft of water depth capability
68% of today’s jackups are 25 years or older
As of March 2012 a total of 85 rigs were either stacked, cold stacked, or in an accommodation mode without drilling contract
How many will not return to service? 
Age is a factor
Demand is increasing for high-specification jackups.  Many customers are implementing age
restrictions and new high-specification requirements.
