SeaDrill Focuses on Expanding Moat and Its Actions Will Benefit Stockholders

Power Hedge submits: In a recent article titled "SeaDrill Focuses on Expanding Moat and Its Actions Will Benefit Stockholders", I discussed SeaDrill’s (SDRL) more than $50 million windfall that was received from the sale of the West Janus jack-up rig.

By Power Hedge: SeaDrill (SDRL) gave a presentation at the Howard Weil 40th Energy Conference on March 28, 2012. It was one of several companies that gave presentations at this event and the presentations all provided reasons to be optimistic about the future of the offshore drilling industry.

By Power Hedge: One concern that I frequently hear from investors about SeaDrill (SDRL) is the company's level of debt. This is a legitimate concern as SeaDrill is much more levered than some of the other companies in the industry. A good example of a peer with a lower debt level is Diamond Offshore (DO).

By Power Hedge: Seadrill Ltd (SDRL) owns and manages one of the largest fleets of offshore drilling rigs in the world. The company has grown its fleet tremendously in the last few years, growing from five rigs in 2005 to 62 rigs today. The company is showing no signs of stopping its growth anytime soon, though. This is clearly illustrated by two rig construction contracts that SeaDrill has entered into over the past few weeks.

By Power Hedge: Recently, Seadrill Ltd. (SDRL) gave a presentation at the SEB Enskilda Nordic Seminar in Copenhagen. Its presentation focused on the economics and outlook for the offshore drilling market and provided insight into Seadrill's place in the overall market. I recommend reviewing the presentation.

Power Hedge submits: One thing that I like to see in a company that I invest in is a diversification of revenue.

By Power Hedge: On March 20, 2013, Seadrill (SDRL) gave a presentation at the Howard Weil 41st Annual Energy Conference. In this presentation, the company did an excellent job of discussing its strong growth potential as well as its future plans for rewarding investors.
