Situation at Diamond Offshore Drilling Before EBS Upgrade

Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc. (DODI) provides contract drilling services to the energy industry around the globe with a fleet of offshore drilling rigs, semisubmersible, and dynamically positioned drillships. DODI’s Oracle EBS technology is at the center of its global business processes. Diamond Offshore Drilling required an upgrade to the latest stable version of EBS (12.2.11) as discontinuation of Oracle support for its existing version (12.1.3) was imminent.

Key objectives for this upgrade included the following:

  • Migration of existing functions to the new release
  • Continuation of support by Oracle, including:
    • Security updates
    • Critical patch updates
    • Legal and regulatory updates
