About Noble Plc

Noble Corporation plc helps energy companies find oil under the ocean. It uses massive drilling ships to reach underwater energy resources. These services help global fuel suppliers meet energy needs.

How Noble Digs Deep

  • Floaters: High-specification drillships and semi-submersibles used for deepwater exploration; generated $550.9 million in contract drilling revenue during the second quarter of 2026.
  • Jackups: Mobile offshore units with legs that rest on the sea floor for shallower drilling; generated $128.5 million in contract drilling revenue during the second quarter of 2026.
  • Contract Drilling: Specialized services performed under individual agreements often awarded through bidding; accounts for all operating revenue.

New Directions and Deals

  • Acquired Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. in a stock plus cash transaction following a June 2024 agreement.
  • Sold five jackup rigs to Borr Drilling Limited during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026.
  • Issued $800 million of 6.250% Senior Notes due 2034 in June 2026 to refinance existing debt and improve liquidity.
  • Renewed a five-year Framework Agreement with Aker BP in 2022 to provide ultra-harsh environment jackup rigs in Norway.

A Leading High-Tech Fleet

Noble operates one of the most advanced offshore fleets in the world. It concentrates on high-specification ships that oil companies prefer for deepwater projects. This focus allows the company to secure long-term contracts despite changing market conditions.

The Latest Money Matters

  • Contract drilling services backlog totaled $7.1 billion as of June 30, 2026.
  • Operating revenues were $719.7 million in the second quarter of 2026, down 15% year over year.
  • Net loss was $36.7 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2026.
  • Net cash from operating activities totaled $417.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Bottom Line

Noble has specialized its fleet through major acquisitions and the sale of older assets to lead in deepwater drilling. Its focus on high-specification equipment helps it navigate the global energy transition while meeting current fuel demands.
