Description
Seadrill is an international offshore drilling contractor providing services within drilling and well services, headquatered in Stavanger. The company has increased its staff considerably during the four years since establishment, and the manager announced in an interview on the 16th of May that the company will increase the staff with 1500 during 2010 as ten new drilling rigs will be finished.
The company operates all over the world, and has offices in Houston, Brazil, China, Indonesia, Singapore and Nigeria besides Stavanger. As it is not clear where all the rigs will be deployed, the distribution of new jobs is not decided.
