Шаблон:Unreferenced section Globally, the number of listed players in the oilfield services sector is just over 100, with a combined market capitalisation of about US$250 billion. The top five account for 40% of the industry's market capitalisation. The two largest companies in this sector are Schlumberger with a 2007 year-end market cap of US$117.6 billion and Halliburton with a 2007-year end market cap of US$33.4 billion.

According to Mr Chen, US firms tend to be the most expensive with enterprise values running two to three times book values, compared with one or less in Europe and Asia.

COSL claims a 95% share of China's market for offshore drilling services, 70% of the marine support and transportation market, 60% of the well survey services market and more than 50% of the seismic data collection market.
