you said: "FGI needs to buy HLX as bad, if not worse than HLX needs to sell/merge imho."

May I inquire as to "how so?". FGI has a solid backlog and a strong balance sheet. While I agree it could be a good fit I don't see why FGI NEEDS HLX

TIA.

Got the BHI rig count numbers off the 800 number. Not on Web site yet

US 534 +16
Canada 106 +59
Land 411 +12
Inland 17 +1
Offshore 106 +2
GOM 104 +3

North
America 640 +75

Big Canadian increase due to removal of restrictions of
heavy equipment on roads after a wet spring.
