For utilization and pro geographic location, ODS-Petrodata''s November Offshore Rig Locator shows tech 264 jackups working, out of a total drill worldwide fleet of 388 rigs, for 68% utilization, down from press 82% one year ago. This is principally due to sharp cuts in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, where only 72 of 150 available units were working due to lower oil/gas prices. The second pro most active area was the Persian Gulf, with 46 of its 56 rigs working. The North Sea/NW Europe had all but one of its 34 jackups working. Asia accounted for 60 rigs--in India, 16 of 20 units were tech working; SE Asia had 19 of its 22 rigs active; and the Far East drill saw 11 of its 18 jackups working. West press Africa pro was working 19 of its 23 rigs. Other active areas included: the tech Mediterranean/Black Sea, 10 of 12; Red Sea/Gulf of Suez, 11 of 11; and South/Central America, drill 18 of 25. DB90 planterFor growers who have high-productivity press requirements, harvest in a 12-row, 30-inch configuration, and need pro to seed more acres in less time, John Deere introduces the new DB90, 36-row, 30-inch spaced planter.The DB90 planter is a front-fold, five-section, flex-frame planter with John Deere MaxEmerge Plus tech and drill row units. It press features a new Bauer Built Manufacturing frame design, pro new hydraulic system, and new row markers. tech These enhancements drill allow for a narrow transport width, narrow folder marker profile to allow press planting close to fences, and overall pro planter productivity and reliability. However, tech and drill and press risks abound even with above-ground tanks. Proof pro of that is found in the nationwide results of the Farmstead Assessment System (Farm-A-Syst). A decade ago, University of Wisconsin water quality specialist Gary Jackson helped develop Farm-A-Syst into a voluntary environmental audit to help farmers identify potential sources of water pollution. In recent years, some form of the program has been adopted in nearly every state."There have been tech 120,000 farmstead assessments done drill nationally," press says Jackson. "From those surveys, it''s clear that the most common environmental risk on the farm is the petroleum storage area."
