Maersk Drilling, the oil-rig operating unit of Denmark’s largest company, plans to spend $4 billion to $6 billion on new platforms, with the first of those orders being placed as early as this year.
The unit of A.P. Moeller-Maersk A/S plans to buy six to eight rigs to “expand into a more significant player,” Chief Executive Officer Claus V. Hemmingsen said in an interview yesterday in Beijing.
