That article from Bloomberg said <<"New rigs often take longer than expected to build, and many oil companies are now using the delays to get out of contracts and save money, said Byron Dunn, a Warburg Dillon Read analyst. Last month BP Amoco Plc canceled a contract with R&B Falcon, the fourth-largest U.S. driller, because of delays in a
$270 million rig upgrade.
''It's a pervasive problem in the industry,'' said Dunn, who
rates R&B Falcon shares a ''buy.''>>

So I guess this may happen to other driller companies too.

This is from Yahoo FLC thread. I guess small investors are always the last one to know.
