Just trying to understand the issue a bit more, but is this the same issue that DFO brought up earlier regarding how Canada requires companies to idle a rig for situations like this when they do offshore drilling?
Are the codes more lax in the states? I found in my studies usually Canada's codes (due to being newer) are less conservative.
