Odfjell Drilling

Odfjell Drilling is an international drilling, well service and engineering company with more than 3000 employees and operations in more than 20 countries. The company was listed on the Oslo Stock exchange 27. September 2013. The business was founded in 1973, but boasts maritime roots that stretch back to 1914 and experience of the petroleum industry that began in the mid 1960s. Since its foundation, Odfjell Drilling has demonstrated its ability to conduct successful drilling operations in some of the most demanding environments on the planet. We are proud of the reputation for operational excellence we have built over the decades. The company has established expertise in the operation of ultra deep water and harsh environment mobile offshore units in both Norwegian waters and internationally. In addition, we have built a position as a major supplier of personnel for drilling operations and maintenance on fixed and floating production platforms in the North Sea. Odfjell Drilling implicitly understands the power of a well-defined and embedded QHSE culture. QHSE is not only a tool to safeguard people, assets and the environment, but also a key driver for continual operational improvement. As such we have adopted what we call a ‘zero fault philosophy' where our rigorous risk and performance management strategies ensure the best standards across everything we do. Zero faults, maximum results – that is the Odfjell Drilling focus.
