DATA SERVICES

To complement our brokerage and advisory services, Bassoe Offshore is developing a range of digital applications for the offshore oil & gas and renewables industries.  The first of these is our Rig Valuation Tool (RVT).

 

The RVT gives rig owners, investors, shipyards, financial institutions, and others with interest in the offshore oil and gas industry access to asset valuation data which goes beyond the scope of traditional rig valuation tables.

 

We also produce monthly jackup and floating rig reports along with custom market intelligence and analysis offerings which provide commercial insight into the industry.  If you are interested in receiving our reports or would like more information on our services, please contact us.
