Offshore staff

BROUSSARD, Louisiana -- HB Rentals has secured two new contracts in Malaysia and Australia.

Diamond Drilling has extended its rental of an HB eight-man sleeper cabin on the Ocean Rover rig for a further year. Beds have been added to the rig to supplement its existing living quarters during drilling operations for Murphy Oil offshore Malaysia.

BJ Process and Pipeline Services in Perth has ordered one of HB Rentals' customizable cabins for use in zone 1 hazardous areas offshore.

The unit, to be used as a technicians' cabin on a number of projects offshore Australia, is on a rolling contract with BJ, supplementing its own permanent cabin fleet in Western Australia.
