Porter’s Five Forces
 Summary: RIG
 Barriers to Entry
 Large capital investments
 Especially for deep and ultra-deep drilling
 Permits to drill
 Top players have market caps in excess of
$20 billion
 Buyer Power
 Not much for the average consumer
 Large and varying number of buyers acting
non-uniformly
 Oil does not have many substitutes
 Inelastic demand
 Supplier Power
- With the help of the recent merging trend,
suppliers of the industry gained greater
supplier power.
- Suppliers are more concentrated into a few
supermajor firms, weakening the buyer poewr and
strengthening the supplier power.
 Rivalry
- Oil production & exploration are dominated by
state-owned firms
- There has been a trend of reassembly among
large companies into supermajor oil firms
- The merging strategy results in decreased
competition among the major firms as a few
supercompanies dominate the market
 Threat of Substitutes
- There few substitutes for the market.
- The supermajor firms have been dominating the
refining and marketing portion of the oil industry
from its start.

Summary

capabilities
Principal Rivals
 Main competitors:
 Noble Corp.
 Pride International Inc.
 All three companies participate in oil and gas
exploration and production.
 Transocean’s geographic niche: operates in the
offshore regions of Texas and Louisiana as well as
the U.K. sector of the North Sea.
Principal Rivals (Cont.’d)
 Transocean is the largest of the three with a
market cap of 49.86B (vs. Noble’s 15.62B
and Pride’s 7.16B)
 At the same time though, RIG appears to be in a
position to grow at an even greater rate than its
competitors over the next few years (a 5 year
expected PEG ratio of 0.31 vs. Noble’s 0.38 and
PDE’s 0.7) .
 Neither competitor appears to be in a position
to threaten Transocean in the near future.
Apparent Weaknesses
 Rising global labor costs
 With that said, RIG seems to stand in a position to be hurt
less by rising labor costs than its competitors due to the
geographic locations of its drill sites.
 Production levels at shallower depths have slowed
recently
 However, higher oil prices make it more financially viable to
drill at lower depths.
 Earnings dependant on external price of oil.
