Mike; It wasn't Nam either. I talked to my friend at SLB last night and asked why he had said Jan.-Feb. for the up turn (which I posted Earlier) and he said budgets. In Ref to day rates he said that with some Co.'s SLB charges lower rates or smaller increases because of long term relationships Etc. GW got greedy (8 rigs) as I found out and posted earlier and it was with Union Pacific which had helped keep it working during the 80's and befor the buy out's and UP told them to hang it in their wall locker. Steve Chirodoc Where are you? This pinched nerv is killing me.
