Offshore Drilling Industry Looks to Benefit From Growing Global Oil Demand
Five Star Equities Provides Stock Research on Hercules Offshore and Noble
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 05/29/12 -- The world's growing demand for oil and the rapid depletion of reserves have forced major oil companies to look offshore. Significant deep-water discoveries have led to increased focus in areas off the coast of Brazil, West Africa, and in the Gulf of Mexico as major discoveries on land are becoming less common. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Oil & Gas Drilling & Exploration Industry and provides equity research on Hercules Offshore, Inc. (NASDAQ: HERO) and Noble Corporation (NYSE: NE).

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) raised estimates for global oil demand to 2015 by to 92.9 million barrels a day led by emerging Asian economies. The 2015 estimate is 1.9 million barrels more than last year's forecast. Still, Europe's debt crisis and slowing U.S. growth pose risks, the group said. OPEC now has a working assumption of oil at $133 a barrel by 2035.
In April, Seadrill announced that it secured a three-year contract for a semi-submersible rig at a potential day rate of $650,000. Day-rates last eclipsed the $600,000 mark in 2008 when deep-water exploration was at its peak.
