SURFACE SAVING - Using surface BOPs carries a comparable risk to conventional BOPs on deepwater drilling and completions with moored rigs, and one supermajor believes it can save at least (USD)50 million over the course of a three-year contract by using one. While an SBOP may not be the solution for all applications, Shell sees real potential for it offshore Brazil and, as Jennifer Pallanich reports, is currently demonstrating its faith in the technology on the BC-10 project

ANALYSIS - It's become something of a joke on the offshore circuit these days. Q: How can you tell if your 2011 rig count estimate is out of date? A: Well, is it on paper? Demand for rigs has never been higher, and based on the number of newbuilds under construction, companies are speculating that the up cycle will continue at least a few more years
