About Maersk Oil
The origins of Maersk Drilling can be traced to the Danish Underground
Consortium (“DUC”), established in 1962 among Maersk, Shell, and Gulf to
exploit the resources in a defined area of the Danish part of the North Sea. By
1972, DUC produced first oil in the Danish part of the North Sea, and later
that year, the Maersk Storm Drilling Company was established in a joint venture
with Dearborn-Storm Drilling Company and underpinned by two semi-submersibles
named Zephyr I and Zephyr II.
These rigs were owned by
Maersk Drilling but operated by Storm Drilling. The following provides an
overview of some of Maersk Drilling’s key periods and corresponding milestones
since its inception.
Maersk Drilling
established the Atlantic Pacific Marine Corporation (“APMC”) in the United
States that would serve as a basis for building knowledge concerning drilling
technology including the training of Maersk Drilling employees in the U.S.
state of Louisiana. This further led to the construction of the jack-up Maersk
Explorer, delivered in 1975 as the then world’s largest jack-up rig.
Following the ordering
of Maersk Explorer, Maersk Drilling continued with a further ordering of five
new drilling rigs of a variety of types including two jack-ups, a semi-submersible
floater, a drilling tender and a so-called self-contained platform rig. While
these units were being built Maersk Drilling established its head office and
operations centre in Copenhagen while APMC continued as a U.S.-based drilling
company and further acted as a training centre for the crews on the new rigs.
In 1976, Maersk Drilling
established a 50-50 joint venture with the Egyptian General Petroleum
Corporation to create the Egyptian Drilling Company. Following its inception,
the joint venture remained operational for more than 40 years until December
2017, when Maersk Drilling sold its 50% shareholding in EDC to the Egyptian
General Petroleum Corporation.
Between 1978 and 1986,
Maersk Drilling completed a second extensive Newbuilding programme. Two of
these rigs, Maersk Giant and Maersk Guardian, were built for operation in harsh
environments and waters as deep as 394 feet in the North Sea
