Southeast Asia — A High-Growth Region
Energy Drilling is at the forefront of offshore drilling in Southeast Asia, a region experiencing rapid economic growth and a significant rise in energy demand, with a strong need to displace coal in the energy mix.

Our operations are concentrated in key markets, including Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam, where our rigs play a key role in the extraction of natural gas, contributing to the region's energy security and sustainability.
Our Story
From Legacy to Leadership
About Us
Energy Drilling is a company established to develop, build and operate the next generation of self erecting tender rigs.
New generation tender assist barge rigs, EDrill-1 and EDrill-2, after been delivered in 2014 from Cosco Guangdong Shipyard, are currently chartered for long term development drilling campaigns offshore in the Gulf of Thailand.
High specification semi-tender Guo Hai Tai He, formerly EDrill-3, is ready for development drilling service in severe environments and for specialized, deep-water service coupled to trussed SPAR’s or TLP’s. Energy Drilling retains option rights to build additional units and is also exploring a compact semi-tender design which is well suited to shallow water programs.
Energy Drilling's highly skilled & experienced team has previously managed and delivered over 10 new tender drilling rigs. We have developed specifications, managed construction and operated tender rigs for various major oil companies. Furthermore, we have also introduced innovative solutions to advance the efficiency and safety of tender assisted drilling operations.
