Jack-ups

One of the guys I have dealt with in the past has been writing a very interesting blog that I'll put a link to on the left as well. He's more of a Marine guy, rather than oil and gas, but worth a look all the same.

News wise, Ecuador has come up with a different approach to drilling for oil... Not drilling for oil This may be the way forward, although I have to wonder if in 5 or even 10 years time, a different president might just do it anyway.

Scorpion, a relatively unknown drilling contractor, have won a short term contract in Trinidad - maybe a sign of more work in the Jack up market? Not according to Rigzone.

The Jack up contractor who seem to be struggling the most are Hercules. They have a lot of stacked rigs, and seem to be unable to find much work at the moment. With luck things will look up, but they can't be too happy with their $48.3m loss in one quarter.

Jobs wise, still looking for:

Indian Drilling staff for new build Drillship in India.
SE Asian Mechanics and Materialsment for SE Asia.
American Engineers for a Semi in GOM.
BD Managers and Ops Managers for Asia Pac and Algeria (must speak French for Algeria, Asia experience essential for Asia Pac)
