Drilling Rig Finance & Leasing - How It Works

Understanding Drilling Rig Finance & Leasing

A drilling rig is a substantial investment, crucial for exploration and extraction in the oil and gas industry. Given the significant capital outlay required, drilling rig finance and leasing emerge as strategic solutions for companies looking to manage their finances effectively. These financing options enable businesses to access the latest drilling technology without the hefty initial expense.

Drilling rig finance and leasing fall under the umbrella of asset finance, a lending structure secured against physical assets like vehicles, equipment, or machinery. This approach to finance offers the flexibility to spread the cost of the drilling rig over an agreed period, typically through fixed monthly instalments and interest rates. Depending on the chosen finance or leasing agreement, companies may have the opportunity to purchase the rig at the end of the term or return it to the financier.

The Procedure for Securing Drilling Rig Finance & Leasing

Securing finance or leasing for a drilling rig is a process akin to obtaining a conventional loan, but with specific considerations pertinent to the oil and gas sector’s demands. To initiate, applicants must furnish details about their business and the drilling rig they intend to finance or lease. A robust credit history and proof of repayment capacity are essential to reassure lenders.

Monthly repayments commence thereafter until the agreement’s conclusion. The finance or leasing type may necessitate additional expenses for the rig’s upkeep, insurance, and taxation. Maintaining the rig in prime condition and adhering to the contract’s stipulations is imperative. Contractual non-compliance or payment default could lead to rig repossession and the imposition of penalties.

FAQs

How do I qualify for drilling rig finance or leasing? 

To qualify, you’ll need a solid credit history and the ability to demonstrate repayment capability. Information about your company and the specific drilling rig you wish to finance or lease is also required. Lenders will evaluate your application based on your creditworthiness, business stability, and other pertinent factors.

How much can I borrow for drilling rig finance or leasing? 

The borrowing amount is contingent upon the finance or leasing type, the drilling rig’s value, and your financial standing. High-value rigs often enable higher borrowing amounts, but it’s crucial to borrow within your means, considering your cash flow and budget constraints.

What are the interest rates for drilling rig finance or leasing?

Interest rates fluctuate based on the finance or leasing type, borrowed amount, term length, and lender policies. Typically, extended terms attract lower interest rates but increase the overall cost. It’s advisable to solicit and compare quotes from various lenders to secure the most favourable terms.

Can I finance or lease a drilling rig without a deposit? 

Some lenders may offer finance options without requiring an upfront deposit, which can be beneficial for preserving capital. However, this might affect the interest rates and monthly payments, so it’s important to review the terms carefully.

What happens if the drilling rig becomes obsolete before the end of the finance term? 

Many finance agreements include provisions for technological obsolescence, allowing for renegotiation or upgrade during the term. It’s essential to discuss such scenarios with your lender beforehand to understand your options.

Are there any subsidies or government incentives available for drilling rig finance?

In some regions, government incentives or subsidies may be available for financing drilling rigs, especially if they incorporate environmentally friendly technologies. Research local regulations or consult with a financial advisor to explore potential benefits.
