GlobalSanta Fe 10,000 & beyond

摘要

Three years from now, GlobalSantaFe Corp., Houston, Tex., will take delivery of its third new generation drillship with the capability to drill in water depths up to 10,000 ft and upgradeable to 12,000 ft. What's significant is that the normally conservative GlobalSantaFe placed the order for the drillship last month even though it doesn't yet have an executed drilling contract for the ship.
