    Barclays analysts downplay the impact of the safety notice on offshore drillers ordering inspection of subsea equipment on some Gulf of Mexico drilling rigs for faulty bolts. "While this event poses additional downtime risk for these drillers, we believe the downtime would be limited and can be often mitigated through the course of normal operations," the firm says.

    WLL has no offshore. I doubt if HK has any either.

    I work in offshore deepwater drilling and this will have very little impact on companies. All they will do is change the bolts out the next time the BOPs are on surface as part of the routine maintenance.

    The bolts in question are related to Subsea BOPs, not surface.
