Wreckage in the jack-up market gets worse.
From rigzone,

Total Jack-up fleet: 447 + 59 under construction
281 drilling. 74 ready-stacked. 38 cold stacked.

Only 13 drilling in US GOM.

On June 4, 2009:

Total Jack-up fleet: 446 + 61 under construction
299 drilling. 67 ready-stacked. 30 cold stacked.

This is really ugly market. The jack-up operators also missed the shale gas boom, which practically killed GOM J-up market.

We all talk about what happens to oil prices if a supplier e.g. Iran or etc shuts down. What happens to oil prices if a major consumer US or China shuts down. What happened in J-up market is not much different.
