R&B Falcon, Spanish Version Case Solution
R&B Falcon is the world's leading offshore drilling contractor. Amid surging exploration budgets and increasing deepwater drilling activity, the firm makes huge investments in several new state-of-the art $300 million ultra-deep-water drilling rigs. As use and day rates drop for shallow-water rigs, the firm must determine whether to halt ability to defend pricing.
It must also determine whether to scale back its commitment to deepwater rig building jobs. Ultimately, the company wrestles with whether to pursue "turnkey" drilling contracts, in which it'd supply an entire package of drilling services.
