To all: PKD CC

Gator & Slider: Thanks for #. Some notes of note:
Not like mid- 80's
Positioning for better times. Regrouping assets
1999 cap ex less than 1/2 of 1998. Spending budgets under constant review. Full payout contract for future building
Moving rigs from GOM to Venezuela
Indonesia hurt some. Moving rigs to Caspian Sea (long-term Chevron deal [5 years] up to 4 more rigs)
Latin America good. Columbia rates increasing
Softness in dayrates - not utilization. Jackups not bleak
Aquisitions - looking for OS and rental tool businesses. Nothing they could report on (general kind of statement)
Going to calendar year accounting after 3Q
POSITIVE FEELING FOR THIS FALL.

Bernie, doubled up on DO yesterday + averaged down on ESV (long).
Waiting to pick up initial positions in CDG, MDCO & FGII (so I'm crazy like most on this thread.) <g> Good luck all!
