OPERATIONS BY GEOGRAPHIC AREAS

OPERATIONS BY GEOGRAPHIC AREAS

Our offshore contract drilling operations are managed and reported as a single reportable segment: Offshore Contract Drilling Services. Our drilling units are often redeployed globally due to changing demands of our customers, which consist largely of major integrated oil and natural gas companies and independent oil and natural gas companies and the geographic areas where we conduct our business can and does change from year to year. Our offshore contract drilling services segment currently conducts offshore contract drilling operations located in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, the Mediterranean Sea, offshore West Africa, offshore Southeast Asia and offshore Australia. The accounting policies of our reportable segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2). We evaluate the performance of our operating segment based on revenues from external customers and segment profit.
