83、havebeen associated with the manufacture of highly engineered,mission-critical equipment for the oil and gas drilling industry for decades,and in the case of Wirth,for more than 125 years.Building on our legacy of historical brands,and with an eye towards innovation,wehave created a comprehensive po
84、rtfolio of products,systems and services for offshore and onshore drilling,subsea and onshoremining and certain large and complex construction applications.We continue to build on our legacy of historical brands such asMaritime Hydraulics,Wirth and Hydril,among others,giving us a unique opportunity
85、to innovate in different segments and expand onour existing portfolio.Many of our product lines have been in existence for decades,providing us opportunities to pursue improvements and innovations asour customers grow and undertake new challenges.Wirth developed its first mud pump in 1905,and since
86、then has continuouslyworked to improve the portfolio of mud pump designs.Wirth was also one of the pioneers of pile top drill rigs and reverse circulationdrilling.Hydril Company,a name derived from the term“Hydraulic Drilling Equipment,”was formed in 1933.During that decade,itproduced the first hydr
87、aulically operated blowout preventer(“BOP”).We reached another milestone when we began deliveringdrawworks and pyramid masts and substructures for onshore rigs in 1950.Maritime Hydraulics,which was established in 1968,launched the drilling industry in Kristiansand,Norway in support of Norwaysdevelop
88、ment of offshore oil production in the early 1970s.In the 1980s,Maritime Hydraulics built its first top drives,of which we havedelivered nearly 400 units.In addition to our drawworks portfolio,we launched the award-winning RamRig in 1996,a highly efficientcompensating system for semisubmersible and
89、drillship operations.The long history of our brands and high customer recognition enables us to pursue research and development(“R&D”)efforts toinnovate existing product and service offerings for our customers,such as the fully electric BOP in development that we believe is thefirst of its kind and
90、will pave the way for safer,more efficient and environmentally sustainable drilling operations.As compared totraditional hydraulic systems,a fully electric BOP minimizes downtime and reduces maintenance costs by providing active monitoring,real-time data and remote-control capabilities.We are also d

104、pressure control systems:Blowout Preventers(BOPs):The BOP is a series of valves designed to either shear the drillstring or close around the drillstring(viapipe rams in a ram BOP or by an annular BOP)to stop the uncontrolled flow of hydrocarbons from the wellbore.BOPs can eitherbe placed on the seab

124、 lifecycle of a rig,especially in harsh offshore environments,and keep rigs functioning safely andefficiently.Additionally,our spare parts sales help customers bring back into service rigs that have been warm stacked or coldstacked.Our spare parts are compatible with our current and growing base of

129、imarily from new construction,reactivation or,less commonly,a significant capital upgrade to an existingdrilling rig.Project sales are largely tied to the offshore rig newbuild cycle,particularly to the construction of floaters and jack-ups.Such projects entail substantial commissioning,manufacturin
130、g and installation,and thus shipyards or other customers seeking tooutfit a newbuild or significantly upgrade an existing drilling rig prefer OEMs with differentiating expertise and reliability such as us.Production,delivery and installation on a project can span from 1.5 to 3.5 years.For a newbuild
131、 rig,we can provide an entire packageof drilling equipment,which,based on the previous build cycle that ended in 2015,represents a revenue opportunity of approximately$45 million in sales for a jack-up rig,approximately$200 million to$300 million in sales for a floater and approximately$15 million t
132、o$25 million in sales for a land rig.In addition to project sales,we sell new pieces of equipment and components to our offshore customers.As the offshore drillingmarket has largely avoided ordering newbuild rigs over the past seven to ten years,demand for our products has stemmed largelyfrom wear-a
133、nd-tear on the installed base as components age and operating requirements increase.Product sale revenue is derivedfrom customers seeking to upgrade the capabilities of existing drilling rigs or replace existing equipment that is in need of majorrefurbishment or no longer operational,including equip
134、ment and components needed in connection with bringing warm stacked orcold stacked rigs back into service.Our project and product dynamics are similar across the onshore drilling market;however,in thecurrent environment,onshore customers are more likely to embark on newbuild rig programs than in the
135、 offshore drilling market,especially in the Middle East.We are one of the few global OEMs capable of delivering a comprehensive drilling equipment package that meets the stringentrequirements demanded by major international oil and gas E&P companies and national oil companies to operate in harsh,off
136、shoreenvironments and environmentally sensitive areas.As of May 20,2025,we and our predecessor companies have delivered integratedsystems to over 140 offshore rigs(including 124 marketed rigs)since 1983,have supplied components to over 800 offshoreinstallations since 1975 and have supplied component
137、s to over 300 onshore rigs since 2012.Our comprehensive product offerings,manufacturing expertise and leading-edge technology allow us to provide all the criticalcomponents needed for a modern drilling rig capable of operating in challenging conditions and environmentally sensitive areas forcustomer
138、s who are acutely focused on safe and responsible drilling operations.These include integrated topside drilling packages forjack-ups,floaters and platforms;integrated pressure control systems deployed onshore and offshore,both at surface and subsea;andequipment certified for operation on the Norwegi
139、an Continental Shelf.Aftermarket servicesWe have over 1,100 equipment installations globally.Demand for aftermarket services on existing rigs is largely driven by the installedbase of our equipment already in operation,the intensity at which that equipment is being run and the age of the equipment.I
140、n thecase of subsea BOPs and drilling risers,regulators in the United States and Europe mandate regular inspections and certification ofthe equipment,which are performed by the OEM.In the offshore market,we are the provider of choice to inspect,maintain,recertify and repair,either by mandate or indu
141、stry bestpractices,the equipment that we have delivered.Given the complexities of offshore equipment,even in situations where the OEM isnot mandated to perform the service,it is uncommon for a customer to engage a third party to perform the work.We leverage ourglobal operating footprint and supply c
142、hain to deliver this service to our customers in a timely and cost-effective manner.For example,on average,we provide recurring aftermarket services on our installed BOPs for over 25 years,which includes recertification everyfive years,regular monitoring and maintenance on an as-needed basis.102025/

144、ves.As is typical in the industry,once we install equipment we tend togenerate nearly all of the service revenue associated with the equipment.Following an initial construction phase,a typical rig,depending on type,will operate for around 20 to 30 years and will be subject to routine regulatory insp
145、ections and maintenance,periodic recertifications of pressure control equipment and potentially overhaul.Sales of spare partsWe provide a broad range of replacement and spare parts for installed equipment used in both onshore and offshore oil and gasdrilling operations.Our spare parts replace existi

148、 partner with customers to deliver equipment sales,spare parts sales and aftermarket services through the entireoperating life of a rig to provide the performance,efficiency and safety they have come to expect.Such partnership is exemplified byour contractual service agreements(“CSAs”)with customers
149、,which are long-term agreements under which we provide a tailored,unique solution to our customers aftermarket service needs for between five and ten years after initial installation.We provide ourcustomers with transparent pricing and payment structures that are predictable.We leverage our experien

152、d to address long-term ownership costs.We expect to see the cadence of aftermarket and spare parts demand from onshore rigs continue to increase in the near to mediumterm due to the increased pace of drilling in both the conventional and unconventional onshore markets,coupled with the drilling ofmor
