Who owned the drilling rig that the 1998 movie Armageddon was filmed
on? ...and i don't mean 'Stamper Oil' as was on the hardhat in the
movie itself; I'm looking for the actual/real-world owner/operator.

Dear danny2006-ga;

Thank you for allowing me to answer your interesting question.

The actual offshore oil rig used in the filming of the 1998 movie
Armageddon was called the ?Garden Banks Oil Rig? and is located some
200 miles off the Gulf Coast of Texas. It was owned (at that time) by
EEX Corporation, which has since been acquired by Newfield Exploration
Company, based in Houston, Texas.
