No Slowing Offshore Drillers (DO, NE, NOV, SDRL)

No Slowing Offshore Drillers

Offshore rig utilization continues to increase, with more than 82% of offshore vessels worldwide being employed. By the looks of it, the bonanza is just beginning, with more than 230 projects taking place and more reserves being located throughout the world. In this edition, Joel looks at the offshore landscape and discusses some new oil-field discoveries as well as a few recent deals.

A number of energy companies are set to soar if crude prices increase as the price differential will go directly to their bottom lines.
