With its focus on safety and operational standards, Bourbon Offshore guarantees a high and consistent level of quality.
With a modern fleet of 230 offshore vessels and 188 units on order (as of February 6, 2008), the Offshore Division offers a full range of vessels and offshore oil and gas services.
As of December 31, 2007, the Division relied on nearly 4,000 employees, office workers, officers and qualified seamen who receive ongoing training and supplemental training in accordance with the BOURBON standards of expertise.
Present in more than 25 countries, Bourbon Offshore has a very strong presence in the "Golden Triangle"—the West Coast of Africa, Brazil, Gulf of Mexico- and in the North Sea. Backed by a strategy of acquisitions, joint-ventures and partnerships with complementary local players, BOURBON is expanding rapidly in new regions, like in Asia.
Bourbon Offshore’s clients are the Supermajors and major international oil groups (Exxon Mobil, Chevron Texaco, Conoco Philips, BP, Shell, Total, Agip…) and a large number of state-owned oil companies (Petrobras in Brazil, Pemex in Mexico…).
With considerable capacity for investment, our technical and technological expertise and our highly-skilled staff, Bourbon Offshore is in a position to respond to the very real technological revolution that the offshore oil industry is undergoing.
Our vessels are able to meet the requirements of the traditional offshore market (depths of less than 200 m) and the demands of the deepwater offshore industry (up to a depth of 3,000 m).
A trail-blazer in safety and environmental requirements, BOURBON anticipates market changes and insists on going beyond current standards and regulations in order to offer its oil customers the highest standards of quality.
In the highly dynamic sector of offshore oil production, Bourbon Offshore’s competitiveness and success relies on the individual expertise and collective motivation of our staff.
The Offshore Division crews, who are highly qualified for each of their missions, operate all ship classes in deepwater and continental offshore.
The expertise of our teams is thus essential to our ability to develop sound client relations based on mutual trust, creating genuine satisfaction and sustainable business relationships.
Modern and multi-purpose vessels, state-of-the-art technology, highly-skilled personnel, financial strength and strategic alliances – these are some of the assets that have helped to make Bourbon Offshore a major force in marine services for the offshore oil industry !
