Nov 17: Find out more on why the offshore rig market continues to remain in doldrums
8Although drilling demand seems to be stabilizing, the magnitude of the order book and the schedule of deliveries will continue to put substantial pressure on fleet utilization over the next  few quarters. During the census period, fleet utilization stayed at 60% in 2017 – matching the record low set with last year’s 60%.
8Rig owners are still actively looking to adjust supply to the current level of demand. Newbuild delivery delays, quicker cold-stacking decisions and accelerated retirement of aged and obsolete assets are being actively used to reduce operating costs and provide some support for dayrates.
