About Seadrill
From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
Seadrill is based in Hamilton. Its shares trade on NYSE under the ticker SDRL. The SEC classifies its business as drilling oil & gas wells.

We are an offshore drilling contractor providing worldwide offshore drilling services to the oil and gas industry.

We contract our drilling units to drill wells for our customers on a dayrate basis. Our customers include oil super-majors, state-owned national oil companies, and independent oil and gas companies. In addition, we provide management services to certain affiliated entities.
As of December 31, 2025, we owned a total of 15 drilling units, of which 10 were operating, one was undergoing capital upgrade projects for a contract commencing in the second quarter of 2026, one was undergoing repairs and maintenance projects and three were cold stacked. The 10 operating units include nine benign floaters (comprising six 7th generation drillships, two 6th generation drillships and one benign environment semi-submersible) and one harsh environment jackup.
