KCA DEUTAG is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Abbot Group. In March 2008, Abbot Group plc was acquired by First Reserve Corporation, a US-based private equity firm. As a consequence, Abbot Group plc was re-registered as a private company and changed its name to Abbot Group Limited.

First Reserve is the largest, most experienced energy industry focused private equity company in the world. The company is committed to investing in KCA DEUTAG and its sister company, Bentec, to ensure that we continue to grow in our key markets worldwide. This will give us the opportunity to expand our portfolio of rigs to meet client demand, and to further enhance our performance improvements systems and key support functions to the benefit of our clients.

KCA DEUTAG’s headquarters are in Aberdeen, Scotland. We have a major hub office in Bad Bentheim, Germany, where our central technical support function is located, and regional offices in all of our key operational areas - Russia, the Middle East, the Caspian region and Norway.
