- Thursday, February 7, 3:23 PM 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. 7 Comments [Energy]
- Wednesday, February 6, 3:17 PM Shares of oil and gas drillers slide to session lows following a Bloomberg report that drilling regulators had directed offshore operators to halt work on some oil and gas wells in the Gulf of Mexico after discovering faulty bolts on equipment used to prevent blowouts. Replacing all bolts on blowout preventers could cost millions, Rowan (RDC) CEO Matt Ralls says. 12 Comments [Energy]

- Saturday, December 29, 2012, 8:25 AM The rebound in companies paying dividends could be the beginning of a long-term change in the way they treat cash and their shareholders - one that would make investors much better off, Jason Zweig argues. Companies like Diamond Offshore (DO) view dividends as rewarding loyal shareholders, harkening back to the 19th century when most of the returns on U.S. stocks came from dividend income. 3 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Thursday, October 18, 2012, 3:18 PM Recent deals struck by Diamond Offshore (DO +1.8%) and Noble (NE +4.3%) paint a picture of a market in which deepwater oil rigs will be in high demand for years, while other drilling segments may end up being too well supplied. DO predicts as many as 40 deepwater rigs in the Gulf of Mexico next year, vs. 31 now; both firms expect ultra-deepwater rates to keep heading higher. (earnings: DO, NE) Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
