		<description><![CDATA[OUTLOOK Crude Oil Signs of progress in resolving Europe&#8217;s long-running sovereign debt crisis and a tightening global supply picture in view of the geopolitical fallout over Iran&#8217;s alleged nuclear ambitions have been keeping oil prices at elevated levels. Partly offsetting this favorable view has been high U.S. crude stocks and worries about China’s growth outlook. As such, crude oil’s near-term fundamentals remain mixed, to say the least. The long-term outlook for oil, however, remains favorable given the commodity’s constrained supply picture. In particular, while the Western economies exhibit sluggish growth prospects, global oil consumption is expected to get a boost from continued strength in the major emerging powers like India, China and Brazil that continue to grow at a healthy rate.

		<description><![CDATA[Offshore drilling giant Transocean Ltd. (RIG) reported weak third quarter 2011 results, hurt by the decline in utilization rates and high operating costs even as rig rates rose. Earnings per share, excluding expenses associated with the Macondo well incident, gains from asset sales, Aker Drilling acquisition costs and other minor items, came in at 5 cents, well short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 75 cents and significantly behind the year-ago adjusted profit of $1.36. Revenue Total quarterly revenues of $2,242.0 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.5% and were down 1.7% year-over-year, mainly attributable to a reduction in contract drilling sales, partially offset by contributions from newly constructed rigs and additional drilling management services activity. Transocean’s high-spec floaters contributed approximately 63% to total revenue, while mid-water floaters and ]]></description>

The game really gets under way next week, when we will get reports from 336 firms, including 99 members of the S&#38;P 500. Thus, by the end of the week we will have a very good idea of how the overall season will go. Not only will there be a lot of reports, but many of those we get will be very important ones. The table at the end of this report reads like a who’s who of American industry, including: Apple (AAPL), American Express (AXP), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C), General Electric (GE), Goldman Sachs (GS), IBM (IBM), Intel (INTC) and McDonald’s (MCD). And that&#8217;s just the first half of the alphabet! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Offshore drilling giant Transocean Ltd. (RIG) recently issued a monthly ‘Fleet Update Summary’ covering the company’s drilling rig status and contract information. As per the report, Transocean secured additional work for four of its mid-water rigs, with three of them getting higher rates. The company currently has 28 mid-water floaters – capable of drilling in water depths of approximately 300 feet to 4,500 feet – that makes up around 20% of Transocean&#8217;s revenue. The Transocean Legend semi-submersible drilling rig has been hired by ConocoPhillips (COP) to conduct operations offshore Australia until October 2012 at a dayrate of $293,000, down $5,000 from the last contract with Eni SpA (E). Another semi-submersible drilling rig, the GSF Arctic I, will work for Oslo-listed independent explorer Panoro Energy in Brazil from February 2012. The ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have maintained our Neutral recommendation for Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc. (DO) given its solid fundamentals and financial disciplines, partially mitigated by stringent regulations as well as the lingering effects of the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) drill ban and related U.S. policies. Texas-based Diamond Offshore is a major contract driller, providing comprehensive offshore drilling services to the global energy industry. We believe Diamond Offshore exhibits long-term earnings growth visibility based on its strong leverage to the offshore deepwater drilling market. Again, the gradual improvement in the GoM drilling market, particularly after the deepwater drilling ban was lifted, as well as better bidding activity, will prove beneficial for a contract drilling company like Diamond Offshore. The companies in the offshore deepwater drilling sector are experiencing improved market conditions. Hence, a gradually ]]></description>

Second Quarter Recap The quarter’s earnings of $1.00 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 98 cents, attributable to strong contributions from most of its business units. The company generated revenue of $644.1 million, surpassing our projection by 1.6% On a segmental basis, U.S. Land Operations and Offshore Operations registered year-over-year revenue growth of 47.0% and 2.8%, respectively. However, revenue from International Land Operations plunged 23.1% during the quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[Offshore drilling giant Transocean Ltd. (RIG) reported bleak second quarter 2011 results, hurt by the decline in utilization rates, lower backlog and higher operating costs. Earnings per share, excluding expenses associated with the Macondo well incident, tax charges and loss related to impairment of three standard jackups, came in at 65 cents. The figure fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 77 cents and trailed the year-ago adjusted profit of $1.66.

		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview 7/15/11 Second quarter earnings season is now under way, but things really start to move into high gear next week. There will be 348 firms reporting, and 108 of those are in the S&#38;P 500. By next Friday we should have a very good handle on how the overall earnings season will go. The firms reporting this week are sort of like a who&#8217;s who of U.S. industry including: Apple (AAPL), American Express (AXP), Bank of America (BAC), Caterpillar (CAT), General Electric (GE), International Business Machines (IBM), Intel (INTC), McDonald&#8217;s (MCD), Schlumberger (SLB) and Verizon (VZ). That is an interesting cross section of U.S. business. We have a relatively light economic data calendar, so earnings should be front and center, along with the sovereign debt situations on both ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Global contract drilling company Helmerich &#38; Payne Inc. (HP) signed a deal to manufacture and operate 12 additional FlexRigs. Eight exploration and production companies, names of which were not disclosed, contracted Helmerich &#38; Payne for the construction job. Although the rigs are slated to be completed and operational in 2012, Helmerich does not expect the deal to have any significant impact on its previously announced 2011 capital expenditure forecast. Helmerich’s proprietary FlexRig design makes the rigs move faster than the conventional ones, drills quicker and more efficiently and allows for a safer operating environment. As such, these are better suited for the new demands of the exploration business and, therefore, command higher dayrates and utilization than rigs from other land drillers.

		<description><![CDATA[In its weekly release, Houston-based oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. (BHI) reported a marginal rise in the U.S. rig count (number of rigs searching for oil and gas in the country). This can be primarily attributed to an increase in the tally of oil rigs, almost offset by a fall in the natural gas and miscellaneous rig counts. In particular, there were more rigs drilling for oil than gas for the eighth week in a row as the companies look to capitalizing on soaring oil prices, which are currently trending at around $100 a barrel. The Baker Hughes rig count, issued since 1944, acts as an important yardstick for drilling contractors such as Transocean Inc. (RIG), Diamond Offshore (DO), Noble Corp.

(BHI) reported a rise in the U.S. rig count (number of rigs searching for oil and gas in the country), primarily reflecting an increase in the tally of land rigs.
