Global rig and well control equipment assurance specialist ModuSpec is seeing increased demand for blowout preventer (BOP) assurance services as offshore activity grows globally. As more offshore projects move towards execution and utilisation of midwater and deepwater drilling units increases, operators and drilling contractors are placing greater emphasis on assuring the integrity, performance and compliance of critical well control equipment throughout the rig intake and operational lifecycle.
The BOP remains one of the most critical safety systems used in offshore drilling operations. During 2026, ModuSpec has supported a range of projects involving rigs transitioning between operators, stranded newbuild units entering service and assets returning to operation following recertification programmes. To date in 2026, ModuSpec has witnessed more than 100 BOP deployment projects globally, with particularly strong demand across North, West and Southern Africa, including Egypt, Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire and Namibia, as well as key deepwater markets in Gulf of America, Guyana, Suriname and Brazil.
