Segment Reporting Information, Revenue for Reportable Segment [Abstract] |
Segment Information | SEGMENT INFORMATION Our business consists of four operating segments, which have been determined based on the asset type and specifications and services we provide. These operating segments are Floaters, Jackups, ARO and Other. The Floaters segment consists of our drillships and semisubmersible rigs, which can generally drill in water depths up to 12,000 feet and 8,000 feet, respectively. Floaters are generally considered to be more advanced, typically earn higher day rates and require a larger crew complement to operate. The Jackups segment consists of our jackup rigs, which generally operate in water depths of 400 feet or less. As Jackups have a simpler design and operate in shallow waters, they typically earn lower day rates and require a smaller crew to operate. The ARO segment consists of the full operations of ARO, which operates jackup drilling rigs in Saudi Arabia for Saudi Aramco. The Other segment consists of management services on rigs owned by third parties and the activities associated with our arrangements with ARO under the Lease Agreements. Each of the reporting segments earn revenues through drilling contracts, in which we provide a drilling rig and/or drilling services, inclusive of rig crews, on a day rate basis. Floaters, Jackups and ARO are also reportable segments. Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the executive management committee, which is comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Commercial Officer, General Counsel & Secretary, Chief Human Resources Officer, Vice President – Strategy and Sustainability and Vice President – Operational Integrity. The CODM assesses segment performance based on their review of the operating income (loss) of each segment, which measures profitability after deducting normal operating costs. Components within operating income (loss), such as revenues and contract drilling expenses, are used to monitor actual performance against budget and monthly forecasted results for each segment. Further, the CODM utilizes revenue to derive a segment’s asset utilization, average daily revenue and revenue efficiency. Using these metrics, the CODM can identify potentially underperforming segments and develop strategies to increase profits or reduce costs, make investment decisions and allocate resources as needed. The disaggregated segment information, as presented in the tables below, aligns with the segment level information that is regularly provided to the CODM. Our onshore support costs included within Contract drilling expenses are not allocated to our operating segments for purposes of measuring segment operating income (loss) and as such, those costs are included in “Reconciling Items.” Further, General and administrative expenses and Depreciation expense incurred by our corporate office are not allocated to our operating segments for purposes of measuring segment operating income (loss) and are included in "Reconciling Items." We measure segment assets as Property and equipment, net. The full operating results included below for ARO are not included within our consolidated results and thus deducted under "Reconciling Items" and replaced with our equity in earnings of ARO. See "Note 3 - Equity Method Investment in ARO" for additional information on ARO and related arrangements. Segment information for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 are presented below (in millions). Year Ended December 31, 2025
