Where value accrues: scaled owners of contracted deepwater backlog with falling leverage, plus high-operating-leverage jackup fleets as rigs reactivate.

Ideas:
RIG — deepwater leader, Valaris acquirer
SDRL — floater pure play, low leverage
BORR — jackups, insider buying

4 mo over winter is say 8-12 weeks productive time, they could visit say 25 of the 95 turbines in that time.

They're exporting around 50% below planned capacity at the mo

Doesn't seem like enough time, if the problem is only with the turbines (not the export) and if it needs jackup to repair?
