Business profile

Valaris Limited provides offshore contract drilling services to oil and gas companies. Its rigs and crews drill and complete wells at sea for international oil companies, government-owned companies and independent operators. Founded in 1987, Valaris is headquartered in London and led by President and Chief Executive Officer Anton Dibowitz.

The company supplies the rig and personnel needed to perform drilling work, while the customer generally pays the costs of constructing the well and supporting the operation. Customers also bear the economic risk of whether a well is successful. Valaris can use its rigs for other work, including well interventions, plugging and abandonment, decommissioning, and carbon capture and sequestration projects.
