They've been losing work. They put all their eggs in one basket (Deepwater) and are missing out on less glamorous revenue on the shelf. Their equipment is great, personnel is a different story, and has something to do with the work they are losing.
I know they dropped a string recently, and it wasn't mechanical error.
They've been sending more guys on jobs than is necessary, trying to keep them busy. If I notice, the Company Man will too.. when they have to sign a ticket for $80,000, just in personnel, for a week worth of time.
The increase in land work is a sign, I think. They're scrambling to keep the hands and tools on a ticket.

Ouch. On a deep water rig? I'm getting shivers just thinking about the reaction when that happened.

I'd imagine scary as frick! Pretty sure there's videos of that happening on YouTube..

That, and the verbal arse whooping they got from a multitude of people, and the aftermath of days or weeks of lost time trying to fish it out.

I don't think you're fishing that out.. I could be wrong tho
I guess it depends. I know the one I'd heard about wasn't in the well. It was pipe they were racking back in the derrick.. and they couldn't find it, so there's a 135' piece of casing buried in the gulf.

I am thinking about doubling my position and averaging down. FI closed today close to $15. Am I losing my mind and ramping up my angst?

I'm not buying any more, that's for sure..

They've been doing terrible work over here and losing contacts. It's because of their equipment here.

Franks making a move. Need allot more of it. Good earnings report today and they are debt free and making operations more efficient.
Below statement is my interpretation of which i have no experience:
They speak of some new technology that reduces crushing/damaging of tubulars when stringing them together or apart.?? Can anyone shed light on this new technology and is it a game charger for FI.
