There will not be many high-value lines. They will be taken by the top few and the rest of us will be built to a minimum credit sacrificing days off. I hope I’m wrong. Also we have in our contract the lien holders will not have reserve days. I don’t think that has changed. It will be interesting for sure.
The new 3.5:1 trip rig will prevent this. The average TAFB on our 4 days is around 80 hours. That will have to pay a minimum of 22.8 hours. Take a very low inefficient TAFB 4 day of 72 hours and that will have to pay a minimum of 20.5 hours.
