$221 million more revenue, and our ROV segment, which had $13 million more operatingincome on $93 million more revenue.In 2011, we invested in the following major capital projects:• business acquisitions totaling $292 million, principally in our Asset Integrity and SubseaProducts segments;• additions of and upgrades to our work-class ROVs;• expenditures <strong>for</strong> added capacity and geographic expansion in our Subsea Productssegment; and• conversion of the Ocean Patriot to a dynamically positioned saturation diving vesseland completion of its saturation diving system in our Subsea Projects business.We expect our 2012 diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $2.45 to $2.65, ascompared to $2.16 in 2011. We anticipate continued international demand growth and amoderate rebound in overall activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Compared to 2011, in 2012 weare <strong>for</strong>ecasting an increase in ROV operating income as a result of a higher average fleet sizeand increased demand offshore West Africa and in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.We use our ROVs in the offshore oil and gas industry to per<strong>for</strong>m a variety of underwater tasks,including drill support, installation and construction support, pipeline inspection and surveys andsubsea production facility inspection, repair and maintenance. The largest percentage of ourROVs has historically been used to provide drill support services.There<strong>for</strong>e, the number of floating drilling rigs on hire is a leading market indicator <strong>for</strong> thisbusiness. The following table shows average floating rigs under contract and our ROVutilization.2011 2010 2009Average number of floating rigs under contract 238 220 208ROV days on hire (in thousands) 73 69 69ROV utilization 77 % 75 % 79 %Demand <strong>for</strong> floating rigs is our primary driver of future growth prospects. According to industrydata published by ODS-Petrodata, at the end of 2011, there were 284 floating drilling rigs in theworld, with 260 of the rigs under contract and 69% of the rigs contracted through 2012. Sixtyeightadditional floating rigs were on order, with 45 scheduled to be delivered through 2013, and28 of these 68 have been contracted long-term, <strong>for</strong> an average term of approximately sevenyears. We estimate approximately 24 floating rigs will be placed in service during 2012, and wehave ROV contracts on eight of those. Competitors have the ROV contracts on nine rigs,leaving seven contract opportunities.In addition to floating rig demand, subsea tree completions are another leading indicator of thestrength of the deepwater market and the primary demand driver <strong>for</strong> our Subsea Products lines.According to industry data published by Quest Offshore Resources, Inc., there were less than600 subsea completions be<strong>for</strong>e 1990, approximately 1,100 in the decade of the 1990s,approximately 3,100 in the decade of the 2000s, and Quest <strong>for</strong>ecasts over 5,000 <strong>for</strong> the decadeof the 2010s. Quest also projects the global market <strong>for</strong> subsea tree orders is expected toincrease 58% in the 2011-2015 time period compared to the previous five years.2011 Annual Report 11
