					<description><![CDATA[@DetailsPlease - r.e. rental - the rate is 99.6 per cent. The blip is Shell, which is custom-building a rig to deploy in Alaska. Other than that - everyone rents.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Well you've only missed the 67% run up in RIG over the last year.

If you want to become a real nerd, check out www.RIGZONE.com

Here is an old story I was reading over a year ago:

http://www.rigzone.com/analysis/rigs/insight.asp?i_id=253

Check out the 30% annual growth rate in rig rates predicted in 2006.

Another informed viewer is the blog www.zmansenergybrain.com and the infamous Jim Cramer, who holds RIG for his charitable trust.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@DetailsPlease - quick take from Javier Blas - "Don't think many north sea rigs going to brazil as north sea deeps are quite shallow (about 50m) and brazil is deep and ultra-deep water (more than 500m)."

Looking into the rental numbers.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Interesting point, but just how portable are these rigs once deployed? How many are getting pulled out of the North Sea and sent to Brazil or India? What % of the rigs are rented by Exxon/Mobil, BP, etc. vs. purchased outright?]]></description>
