ENI Terminates The Ocean Rig Olympia Early Due To Dramatic Fall In Oil Prices | Seeking Alpha

Jan. 21, 2016

Summary
  • Today, ENI announced that it has terminated the Ocean Rig Olympia due to "a dramatic fall" in the price of oil. 
  • Assuming an 85% termination fee, and based on 160 days remaining, ORIG should be entitled to receive a lump sum of approximately $90 million. 
  • ORIG is going to struggle in 2016, but should weather the storm. I believe the stock is oversold, however, as the risks are high as today's news shows. 
This article is an update of my previous article on Ocean Rig UDW (NASDAQ:ORIG) published on Dec. 8, 2015. ORIG is a fairly new offshore drilling company that provides oilfield services for offshore oil and gas exploration, development and production drilling. The company is based in Nicosia, Cyprus. Ocean Rig was a subsidiary of DryShips, Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS).
