The winter drilling season started with a bang this year as the number of rigs in the ground last week reached 83% utilization rate, a 5 year high as producers kicked off their drilling programs.
Obviously, thanks to high oil prices, it’s open season in the hunt for liquids (oil & liquids rich natural gas). This is a level of activity not seen since January 2006 and a great way to profit from this strong start is through the drilling and services companies which in my opinion are currently trading at a compelling valuation.
Who would you pick in the services & drilling sector?
