Transocean is the world’s largest offshore drilling contractor and a leading provider of drilling management services. It provides rigs on a contractual basis to explore and develop oil and gas. Transocean offers offshore drilling rigs, equipment, services and manpower (with an emphasis on ultra-deepwater and harsh environment drilling services) to exploration and production companies worldwide.
