Petrofac Malaysia's SCM is looking for intern (june onwards). PM me if interested.

umw now has almost all of its rigs out. only 2 are still in ksb and even those getting contracts soon.

depends on how close you are with the end-user, unless you are a regular face working with them for quite some time, then the communication perhaps is more open. End-user side also will need input from supplier/vendor/contractor for budgetary or planning purpose, but still like i've mentioned, will you be of value to them?

just my opinion

The contractors have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Ensco will acquire Atwood in an all-stock transaction.

Upon close of the transaction, Ensco and Atwood shareholders will own approximately 69% and 31%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of Ensco plc. Upon closing, Ensco will add six ultra-deepwater floaters and five high-specification jackups. The combined company will have a fleet of 63 rigs, comprised of ultra-deepwater drillships, deep and mid-water semis and shallow-water jackups.

Ensco Chief Executive Officer Carl Trowell said: "This acquisition significantly enhances our high-specification floater and jackup fleets, adding technologically advanced drillships and semisubmersibles, and refreshing our premium jackup fleet to best position ourselves for the market recovery. We believe that the purchase price for these assets represents a compelling value to our shareholders, which is augmented further by expected synergies from the transaction."
