Company Description
Borr Drilling Limited (NYSE: BORR) is an offshore shallow-water drilling contractor serving the oil and gas exploration and production industry. According to its SEC filings, the company’s primary business is the ownership, contracting and operation of jack-up rigs in shallow-water areas, generally in water depths up to approximately 400 feet. Borr Drilling provides offshore drilling services to exploration and production customers using a fleet of premium jack-up rigs.
The company is organized in the drilling oil and gas wells industry within the broader mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction sector. In its unaudited interim financial report for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Borr Drilling describes itself as an offshore shallow-water drilling contractor providing worldwide offshore drilling services to the oil and gas industry and notes that its fleet consists of 24 premium jack-up rigs. A later press release states that an agreement to acquire five additional premium jack-up rigs from Noble Corporation will, upon completion, increase the fleet from 24 to 29 rigs.
Borr Drilling’s operations focus on premium jack-up rigs, which are mobile offshore drilling units designed for shallow-water environments. The company’s fleet is described in its filings as “premium” and “jack-up,” and its public communications repeatedly refer to “premium jack-up rigs” and “premium jack-up fleet.” The company’s fleet status reports and press releases reference specific rigs such as Galar, Gersemi, Grid, Njord, Odin, Hild and Vali, which are deployed under contracts in markets that include Mexico, the Gulf of America and Angola.
According to its interim financial report, Borr Drilling’s business model centers on contracting its jack-up rigs to exploration and production customers and providing related equipment and work crews to conduct oil and gas drilling and workover operations. The company’s revenues are generated from operating these rigs under contracts with customers in various offshore basins. The same report notes that Borr Drilling provides drilling and workover operations for exploration and production customers and that it operates worldwide in shallow-water offshore environments.
Borr Drilling is headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda, as indicated in multiple Form 6-K filings that list its principal executive office in Hamilton, Bermuda. The company’s common shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BORR, and press releases also indicate that the company has taken steps to list its shares on Euronext Growth Oslo as part of a process toward re-listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Company announcements explain that, upon completion of this process, Borr Drilling is expected to be dual listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange, with the NYSE remaining its primary listing.
In addition to operating its existing fleet, Borr Drilling actively manages its capital structure and fleet growth. The company’s filings and press releases describe public offerings of common shares and issuances of senior secured notes, with proceeds intended to finance fleet expansion and general corporate purposes. For example, in December 2025 the company announced a public offering of common shares and a concurrent additional senior secured notes offering, with proceeds planned for the acquisition of five premium jack-up rigs from Noble Corporation and for uses such as debt service, capital expenditures, working capital and potential mergers and acquisitions.
The company’s interim financial report also discusses its revolving credit facilities and amendments to its super senior revolving credit facility. Borr Drilling entered into an amended super senior revolving credit facility and a separate senior secured revolving credit facility, both secured on a senior basis by the same security that secures its notes. These facilities provide additional financial flexibility to support operations and fleet management. The report notes that both the amended super senior revolving credit facility and the new senior secured revolving credit facility were undrawn as of September 30, 2025.
Borr Drilling’s operational updates in its filings and press releases highlight contract awards, extensions, suspensions and terminations for its rigs. In 2025, the company reported that rigs such as Galar, Grid and Gersemi recommenced operations in Mexico after temporary suspensions, and that the rig Vali commenced its first contract. The company also disclosed the termination of contracts for the jack-up rigs Odin and Hild in Mexico following the implementation of international sanctions affecting a counterparty, emphasizing its commitment to adhering to international laws and sanctions frameworks.
Contracting activity is a key part of Borr Drilling’s business. In its third quarter 2025 results announcement, the company reported that it had been awarded numerous contract commitments during the year, representing thousands of contract days and significant potential contract revenue. The same release notes that 23 of the company’s 24 rigs were active during the quarter and refers to high technical and economic utilization across the active fleet, illustrating the importance of fleet utilization and contract coverage to its operations.
Geographically, Borr Drilling’s activities include operations in regions such as Mexico, the Gulf of America and Angola, based on its press releases describing contract awards and extensions in these areas. The company’s communications also highlight Mexico as an important market, with references to contract extensions for rigs operating there and updates on collections related to operations with Pemex.
From a corporate governance and management perspective, Borr Drilling’s interim financial report describes management updates, including a succession process in which the Chief Commercial Officer was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and the previous CEO became Executive Chair of the Board. The report also notes changes to the Board of Directors, including the appointment of a director associated with a significant shareholder. These governance disclosures are part of the company’s regular SEC reporting.
Borr Drilling’s SEC filings include detailed risk factor discussions and forward-looking statements that address industry conditions, customer demand, contract risks, liquidity, debt obligations, climate-related risks and geopolitical factors. The company notes that its business is subject to risks such as suspension or termination of contracts, delays in customer payments, compliance with debt covenants, and market conditions affecting jack-up demand. These disclosures provide context for understanding the risk environment in which Borr Drilling operates.
Overall, Borr Drilling Limited is a specialized offshore shallow-water drilling contractor focused on premium jack-up rigs for oil and gas exploration and production customers. Its business model, as described in its SEC filings and public announcements, is built around owning and operating a fleet of premium jack-up rigs, securing contracts across multiple offshore markets, and managing its capital structure through debt and equity financing to support fleet growth and operations.
