How does that BP rig compare to Nexen's latest Ultra-deep water GOM rig?

www.enscous.com/UploadFiles/RigFleet/ENSCO%208501.pdf



Operating in 8,500 feet of water with a maximum drill depth of 35,000 feet.
1,000 ton rotary, 7,500 psi.
150 person accomodations.

I think Nexen's might be bigger. LOL.
Perhaps Jim or some other offshore expert could comment.

Cheers,
