Atwood Oceanics - ?'s ...anyone follow ATW closely ? ATW also just had an excellent earnings release and most importantly they have a projected 60% increase in 1999 EPS and a sector leading 5 years EPS growth of 60% for the next 3 years. This now sells at a solid discount to other deepwater drillers @ 6.9 times 1999 EPS. As a deepwater driller this PE compares to shallow drillers CDG & MDCO. Can anyone list for me a breakdown of their Rigs and/or drilling depth capabilities; - just a general summary as in -- 3 semisubs, 2 deep drill ships, 4 GOM & 2 Intl. Jackups etc. Am I correct in assuming they are more deepwater oriented than CDG or MDCO and they are not a Jackup oriented driller. Online annual report does not give a breakdown etc.
