Thread regarding Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc. layoffs

Rumors?

Any new news out there? I asked a few of my buddies from round the house that got laid off and they hadn't been called back. I think this may be a bullshit rumor. they were good hands, with 5th gen experience and bleed that diamond grey. I would think if they were planning on keepin some of the laid off hands they woulda been high up on the list...

anyway, just seeing what yall hav heard latly?

Good luck to you Brasilian. You might want to hire either a UK or US driller and toolpusher to hold your hand while you drill a well. I think you do that already though.

Hey Brasilian, you might want to do some more research before the next post. I found some inconsistencies bro. I bet a bunch of dudes learned to use Google translate though through this experience!

  • Your name, Brasilian, it's Brasileiro.

  • "no ano meio" should be "em meio ano"

  • vai despejar doesn't mean "Will dump" as in they will dump the contracts. You can say voce esta despejado, which means "you're fired"

  • fora do dinheiro doesn't mean what you intended --- "Out of money" The correct phrase is "sem dinheiro", or "Petrobras esta lisa" which means "petrobras is poor"

  • "Este foi o hotel possui por um longo tempo" doesn't make any sense really at all. When you meant to type in coming, as in this has been coming for some time, you typed in comming, so the translation you got was garbage.

  • "Maybe" Is a word in the english language, as is "better". In Portuguese maybe is "Pode ser" as in could be. If you put a space between the word better and the period at the end of the sentence and proofread your trolling posts you'd look a little more legit.

Petrobras vai despejar todos os contratos com Brasdril no ano meio, porque eles estão ficando sem dinheiro. Isto é porque os empreiteiros de perfuração americanos não reduzirá suas dayrates para as plataformas. Este foi o hotel possui por um longo tempo, os americanos vêm ao Brasil e enganar Petrobras fora do dinheiro, enquanto eles pagam os norte-americanos sobre as plataformas de duas vezes o que pagam os brasileiros que fazem o mesmo trabalho better.Maybe agora haverá empresas de perfuração brasileiros obter o contratos!

Ham bone you old roughneck you! Heres the delio my man, I was in well control with ol chester there last week. We did hear a lot of talk. Me being a curious type fellow gave big danny dog a shout last night to see what the word in the office really is. He wouldn't give me the down and dirty, but it don't sound good for the good ol boys and the old steel that's made all them office folk and yanks money over the last couple decades. I think were seeing whatsa coming more of, old out, new in. they want more pieces of paper on their walls to justify and reassurance the company man. I know a lotta capable good old boys, but they aint got the binder to back that ass up, if ya know what im sayin. Keep your chin up old ham, we be rollin.

I talked to Pete and Delmar and they ant heard nutin. I supposed it would be the acme of foolishness as to inquire if any of this was true or just confounded silliness. And ifin any one could tell me if this is the road to Itabeana, i would be forever tankfull. Im not sure we will ever reach the treasure on account of the obstackels in our way. Or so that feller from the railroad said anyhow.

The interest from Transocean was to buy rigs from us or sell us rigs?

Talked to lots of guys that were laid off and non have heard anything since the lay off call. They also said the lady that called them said there was no time frame for when or if they might be called back but should prepare for it to be a significant amount of time if ever.

HAm, old boy you still rockin that gray!? Word down here is some more of that doom and gloom, old chester was in Houston the other day for well control and heard rumors involving both buying and selling... lots of heat from loews I guess trying to steer company in new or alternate directions. take that for whatever it means, but he had heard talk about deepwater rigs with interest from Transocean as well as snatching up oceanrig vantage or pacific. lots of speculation. keep on keepin on brother.
