[M' Ave 1,466]

Rig in Production

This would appear to be the first of 20 with delivery beginning in Q1 '11. Recently, the first of an order has been assigned to the BOT, but this rig is not too much different from current the R.M., in terms of operation. Who know's? Co's to receive these new rigs supposedly are: 137, 156, 19, 81, 29, 55, 123, 24, 169, 32, 42, 154 and others...
