Deep Water Oil Drilling Rigs Leaving the Gulf Region

by Rod Pennington

Faced with uncertainly and a clearly hostile Obama Administration, deep water oil drilling rigs are starting to pack up and move out of the Gulf of Mexico. On Friday, the CEO of Houston area Diamond Offshore, Larry Dickerson, announced, “As a result of the uncertainties surrounding the offshore drilling moratorium, we are actively seeking international opportunities to keep our rigs fully employed.”

Diamond Offshore also announced that the deep water rig “Ocean Endeavor” is leaving immediately for Egypt. Dickerson said. “We greatly regret the loss of U.S. jobs that will result from this rig relocation.”
