- NorAm Drilling AS (NORAM.OL) is a Norwegian-based provider of drilling services to the oil and gas industry, specializing in jack-up rigs for harsh environment operations in the North Sea and other offshore regions. The company offers contract drilling services using its fleet of high-specification jack-up rigs, including advanced dynamic positioning systems, cantilever designs for platform drilling, and integrated management services for well construction and completion; these services cater to exploration, production, and decommissioning activities for major oil companies and national oil firms. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Stavanger, Norway, NorAm Drilling operates primarily in the North Sea, Barents Sea, and select international markets, targeting E&P operators with a focus on safety, efficiency, and environmental compliance across its subsidiaries.
In the past two years, NorAm Drilling has pursued strategic expansions, including a key partnership with Shelf Drilling for rig upgrades and shared operational capabilities in 2024 to enhance competitiveness in the jack-up market; the company also secured a significant NOK 1.2 billion contract extension with Equinor in early 2025 for its NorRig A jack-up in the Norwegian sector. Additionally, NorAm Drilling completed a NOK 500 million private placement funding round in late 2024 to support fleet modernization and digitalization initiatives, alongside launching an upgraded remote monitoring service for real-time rig performance analytics. These developments position the company for growth amid recovering offshore drilling demand, with no major reorganizations or name changes reported.
