Expectations for a vigorous economy in our petroleum industry abound virtually
everywhere I look this year. Among the positive signs are the continued price
of crude oil and the increasing operator budgets. These and other factors are
reflected in the Texas State Lease Sale, which was the best in six years, and in
the United Kingdom, where contracts and rig utilization are decidedly on
the upswing.
Our main story (page five) is about Kizomba, the largest deepwater development
in offshore West Africa. Our company is playing an important role in helping to
make this remarkable effort a great success by contributing improvements to the
state-of-the-art equipment used on ExxonMobil’s Kizomba A.
Finally, as we begin our fourth year of Frank’s International Direct, I want to
thank our advertisers for their continued support. As always, your comments
and suggestions about our magazine are always welcomed. I hope you find this
issue interesting and useful.
