I don't think UMWOG mentioned 15-20%. Who mentioned that. I don't recall them saying in the session. Maybe I missed that part. Sorry. I heard 3%-5% as per latest awarded contract.
You got to read between the lines... don't just swallow everything they put at you

excerpt from UMWOG presentation by Rohaizid Darus
QUOTE
Daily charter rates (DCRs) and utilisation in Vietnam are above SEA. The blended DCRs for JUs in Vietnam averaged USD140k-165k since 2013, which is higher than SEA’s USD135k-150k average DCR. Expectations are for DCRs to average USD 140k in 2015
UMW OG expects DCR in SEA to fall by 5% - 7% to USD140k - 150k in 2015. The weakness in DCR in Malaysia is expected to be steeper, at 10%.
With the cuts in E&P spending and revisions of tenders, which slow down drilling activities, UMWOG cautioned for lower utilisation rates for its rigs, which are expected to fall by 30-60 days
Points to ponder..
1. Lets consider the max to lowest rates, which represents the steepest decline (stress test to see how bad things are). Rates fell from 165K to 135K for SEA, which is net reduction of 30K. 30K/165K = 18.1%. For UMWOG they expect rates for their charter to be slightly better at 140K. 25K/165K = 17.8%. No where near the 5%-7% which is reduction since
start of 2015.

2. UMWOG conceded that rates in Malaysia is falling even steeper that expected from Vietnam in 2015.
3. Lower utilization rates. Previously rigs have utilization rates of 300 days or more. A reduction of 30-60 days represents additional 10%-20% NON REVENUE days.
4. Combines the lower rates in 2015 vs 2014 PLUS the lower utilization days, you can see where I get my estimate of 15%-25% reduction of total rates income from.
Never trust blind conclusion (UMWOG calculated based on lowest rate 2013 vs highest rate in 2015 AND ignored utilization days

) especially from vested interest company giving the presentations. Always do your homework.
