layton,
although DDI's core is geared to deep water innovation/problem solving for it's clients, Mako has been in the rental/service business serving it's clients that have not been so oriented, although now more geared to go ever deeper with Deep Down. and if Simmons premise of a rusting offshore oil infrastructure is correct as i'm sure it is, then Mako HAS been an integral oil service company serving this need to maintain, repair/install the current condition and a valuable source of product in any major renovation by the likes of JEC or FLS, imo. and DPDW's reputation of innovation can only be an attractive asset in any upgrade of infrastructure, imo
