Empire Energy Corporation Intl. (fka EEGC)

I agree that hiring a rig from an experienced contractor would be far better than buying one, and provided they had financing should be a lot cheaper as well. However given Empire's appalling track record they may well find it very difficult to find a drilling contractor who will give them a rig, which is possibly why Bendall is so keen to buy one. IMO buying a rig would be a BIG mistake for Empire.
