Borr Drilling Limited has completed the acquisition of five premium jack up rigs from Noble Corporation in a transaction valued at $360 million. The deal increases Borr Drilling’s total fleet to 29 rigs and further consolidates its position as a specialist owner of modern jack up assets. The company stated that the acquisition supports its ability to serve customers across multiple offshore regions and reinforces its international operating footprint.
The acquired rigs have been integrated into Borr Drilling’s fleet and renamed following completion of the transaction. The assets, previously operating under Noble branding, are considered compatible with Borr Drilling’s existing portfolio and are expected to support near term offshore drilling opportunities. The company continues to operate one of the youngest jack up fleets globally, which it views as a competitive advantage in securing contracts and meeting customer requirements. An updated fleet status report accompanying the announcement reflects the newly acquired rigs alongside recent contract developments. The transaction comes as offshore drilling markets show renewed activity, increasing demand for premium jack up capacity.
