Market is skittish on TID EBITDA projections are coming down for the next couple of quaters due to the HRT and Trinidad rigs having to be re-contracted.
HRT is a "low life" company that has caused much pain to TID with their underhanded tactics. They say that they termininated the two heli-rigs for cause which is utterly complete BULL SH IT. It is costing TID over $2 million to tear down and get these rigs back to planet earth from the wilderness of Brazil. Very bad timing for TID. I was told by TID management that they did not receive any notification of non-performance except one letter stating that HRT wanted an extra power take off for one of the rigs. TID told them that the contract for the rig did not allow for that but they would try to round up and extra one. This has absolutely nothing at all to do with non performance. Nothing at all. HRT screwed TID period. They are a very poorly managed company with a very poor culture of very low level of integrity.
Yes an arbitrator has been appointed but the process is lengthy (12 to 18 months) however it is deliberate and TID management feel they will be vindicated.
I am sure the BOD and management of TID despise HRT for screwing them when they deployed two very costly specialized rigs all for naught. I hope HRT goes bankrupt for not dealing with TID in good faith and honoring their contracts with TID. They really screwed them over.
The absolute most important thing TID needs to do is pull a rabbit out of a hat and get these two heli-rigs committed. The market would react extremely favorably to the announcements. IF they get the other one from Trinidad contracted would even be more impactful.
Now if all six get committments, the share price will be back up to 50 cents in very short order.
