Direct peers

• National Oilwell Varco (NOV): NOV is the most direct competitor to HMH in drilling equipment, manufacturing top drives, drawworks, mud pumps, rotary tables, and complete drilling rig packages for both onshore and offshore markets. It is the closest comparable in product portfolio, customer base, and channel.
• Cameron International (a Schlumberger company): Cameron, now part of SLB, is a leading manufacturer of blowout preventers (BOPs), wellheads, and pressure control equipment that directly competes with HMH's Hydril RAM BOP, GX™ Annular BOP, and 20k Subsea Drilling System product lines.
• Weatherford International: Weatherford is a global oilfield equipment and services company offering drilling tools, pressure control, and well construction equipment. It competes with HMH across multiple drilling equipment and aftermarket service categories, particularly in onshore and international markets.
• Dril-Quip: Dril-Quip designs and manufactures subsea wellhead systems, dry-tree systems, and BOPs for offshore drilling. It is a focused subsea equipment peer that overlaps with HMH's pressure control and 20k Subsea Drilling System offerings.
• TechnipFMC: TechnipFMC supplies integrated subsea production systems and drilling equipment, including BOP stacks and wellhead systems. It competes with HMH in subsea drilling packages and integrated well construction solutions for deepwater operators.
• Aker Solutions: Aker Solutions is a Norwegian provider of subsea production systems, drilling equipment, and offshore engineering services. As a Norway-headquartered peer with deep North Sea exposure, it overlaps directly with HMH's heritage MHWirth product line and subsea offerings.

Broad incumbents

• Baker Hughes: Baker Hughes is HMH's 50% owner and a broad oilfield services incumbent. While it is the JV parent, its broader oilfield services portfolio (drilling services, completions, digital) overlaps with HMH's equipment and digital offerings and represents both a channel partner and a potential competitor.
• Schlumberger (SLB): SLB is the largest global oilfield services company with broad exposure across drilling, completions, and digital. Through its Cameron acquisition, it competes directly with HMH in pressure control and drilling equipment while also offering integrated services that can substitute for HMH's standalone equipment.
• Saipem: Saipem is an Italian-based engineering and drilling services company with capabilities in offshore drilling rigs, subsea systems, and EPCI. Its drilling and offshore infrastructure businesses are comparable to HMH's offshore drilling equipment and lifecycle services.

Others

• Transocean: Transocean is the world's largest offshore drilling contractor and a major customer for HMH's drilling equipment, BOPs, and aftermarket services. While not a direct equipment competitor, it is a key buyer and demand signal for HMH's deepwater rig and pressure control products.
