BLT, I'd see the web page for contract & dayrate info.

What I hear is that all the deepwater rigs are going to work in the near future. A short summary:

Jack Bates - just got contract for three wells and mobilized recently

M.G. Hulme - being towed to W. Africa for contract

Expedition - delivered & drilling for Petrobras, recently set world water depth record

Navis I - final stages of delivery & commisioning then two month mobilization to Brazil for work

Pathfinder - repaired and going back to work now

Frontier - drilling in Brazil

Millennium - drilling in GoM

Discovery - will be delivered soon and mobilized to West Africa for Texaco for multi year contract. Probably on the payroll in September

Nautilus - just delivered and moved to GoM to start contract for Shell

Horizon - delivery and start up likely by second quarter 2001

Peregrine III - upgraded and going to Brazil for contract

Peregrine I - doing odd job workovers in Brazil

Peregrine II and Falcon Duchess - ??? don't know probably stacked

Falcon F-100 - going back to work for short term contract soon

Jim Cunningham - drilling West Africa

J. W. McClean - don't know probably stacked

Schielan - working in Brazil

Henry Goodrich - working in Canada

Paul B. Loyd - working in North Sea

Iolair - working in North Sea?

The deepwater story looks pretty good. I think FLC will do well soon because of that, and has a good deal of upside with the domestic shallow water fleet having something like 50% of the fleet stacked but ready to reactivate if prices warrant.

Best o' luck, Sharp

FLC is clearly the "swing driller" in the GOM, just as Saudi Arabia is the swing producer in the ME. Extra rigs, reserve production...

FLC will be in the catbird seat later this year.
