Aker Drilling is a fully integrated drilling contractor with two sixth-generation Aker H-6e rigs under construction. These semi-submersible units are being built for safe and efficient operation year-round in deep waters worldwide - including arctic regions.

The design of these rigs represents a pioneering advance on the well-established Aker H-3 and Aker H-4.2 concepts, which have been developed over several decades. Also created to meet tomorrow‘s requirements, this solution features large and flexible drilling characteristics, which will ensure efficient operation under weather conditions which compel other units to shut down. That makes a significant contribution to meeting oil company requirements for cost-efficiency.
