Northern Offshore Ltd is a Houston-based company operating in the offshore oil and gas drilling sector, with regional offices in Aberdeen and Abu Dhabi. Founded in 2000, it later became a subsidiary of Shandong Offshore Equipment Co., Ltd. in 2015 after Blue Ocean Drilling and Northern Offshore were merged under the Northern Offshore brand. Historically its fleet has included two offshore drilling rigs (managed), one floating production unit, and six high-spec jackup rigs scheduled for delivery from 2018 through 2020, with a management approach centered on quality, health, safety, and the environment and collaboration with customers across design, planning, and execution to reduce well costs. Its customers are companies in offshore oil and gas exploration and production that require drilling capacity and related services. A notable recent development is a partnership with Masirah Oil Ltd to deploy the Energy Emerger jack-up rig for a major offshore drilling campaign.
