Towards a sustainable energy and a prosperous future.

We are committed to developing our people and delivering best-in-class Offshore Drilling services

The success of ARO is an outcome of a strategic partnership between Saudi Aramco, one of the world's largest integrated energy and chemicals companies, and Valaris, an industry-leading, global drilling contractor.
