Risks on investment • Future oversupply of offshore rigs would result in falling dayrates • Primary reason for the company’s low valuation In 2012, there were more discoveries of offshore oil fields than ever before with 52. Demand will continue to exceed supply as old rigs are retired due to age and inability to operate effectively
