I'm using IQ and it is working fine now. Had problems with it loading up the chart maker and tracker module but working fine now. Hmmmm, Oil at 25 per barrel before year end... I think we are getting closer. Articwarrior

Big Do you ever use the Oceandril site as an indicator of industry activity? oceandril.com I'am wondering how accurate and current it is. I've been using it to monitor jackup activity in the Gulf and I am surprised to see such wide variances in utilization among the big operators. The leaders are ESV (all 23 drillin' and chillin') and GLM MRL NE RDC with just one idle jackup each. Laggards are DO, Hercules(PKD), PDE, PESC(Pool) and the sickest pup, FLC with 40-45% utilization. We have all heard about FLC deepwater and debt problems but what the hell is going on with their GOM jackup fleet ? John
