Someone is relieved and rubbing their hands with glee. Quite a coup. |

Is there any quotable source for this nugget?
Personally I would think Centurion Qx (Quasar like) if new purchases were in order or anything by SMD if it comes to that. |

Its a big order and that means big discounts. Cost will be the biggest factor. Perry, SMD and others will have to get competitive for the initial order, spares and support. Petrobras and the Brazilian drill support market is massive and set to grow rapidly. For S7 the prefered vendor, will be the cheapest. |

By what has been mentioned on the thread, it sounds like "how-much-for-nothing" is a deciding factor?
Do you think there is more than short sighted frugalness or politics at play here? |

So it sounds like there is no pen-to-paper on an actual order?
They're just feeling pompus, kicking tires to get the most from some poor sucker 'vendor'.
With that attitude, I'd suggest they consider a rubber duckie from the toy-shop and a roll of string. |
