BASSOE ANALYTICS

We're opening up the world of offshore drilling rig data with Bassoe Analytics, the free and open source offshore rig database and analysis application.  

 

To complement our brokerage and advisory services, Bassoe Offshore develops digital applications for the offshore oil & gas industry.  The first of these was our Rig Valuation Tool (RVT) which generates values for mobile offshore drilling rigs.  Since then, we added our Transaction Database which tracks all offshore rig sale and purchase activity, including sales for scrapping and conversion.   Now both of these products have been integrated into our latest product, Bassoe Analytics.

 

On Bassoe Analytics, you'll find a wide range of commercial data, technical data, valuation data, and graphing tools.  Bassoe Analytics contains continuously updated data on rig dayrates, recent fixtures, rig status and counts, rig values, transactions, and contract status and technical specifications for all rigs in the fleet.  

 

Bassoe Analytics gives you the data you need to save time in your research and make quicker decisions in the offshore drilling rig market. Whether you’re a rig owner, financial institution, market analyst, investor, shipyard, equipment maker, or oil company, you choose which features are most important to you.  Your dashboard and reports always stay up to date because they’re always connected to the data.  Check out Bassoe Analytics via the link below or read through our user guide here.

 

We also produce monthly jackup, floating rig, and rig recycling reports along with more specific custom market intelligence and analysis.  If you are interested in receiving our regular reports, ordering a custom report, or would like more information on our market intelligence services, please contact us.
