Many people are concerned with the privacy, or lack thereof, that could occur with storing personal documents into a non-physical storage unit. I can see, though with companies such as ours and Metacloud, we are working toward a more secure and easy to use cloud system for both personal and professional use. Spursh Parikh www.sererra.com

Northern Offshore Provides Update on Energy Endeavour

HOUSTON, Nov. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Northern Offshore, Ltd. (Oslo Bors: NOF.OL) ("the Company")  today announced that the company has received early notification from Maersk Oil and Gas that the Energy Endeavour will be released at the end of the well in progress on May 1, 2013.  The rig's accommodation unit does not meet new Danish Energy Authority requirements and its replacement is not commercially viable for either party.

Gary W. Casswell, Northern Offshore's president and CEO, said, "We sincerely appreciate that Maersk have given us very early notice of release of the Energy Endeavour, as it will allow us approximately six months to re-contract the rig in a very tight market.  We expect to achieve a significant increase of the dayrate with a new contract.  Our relationship with Maersk remains strong and we look forward to continued long term operations with the Energy Enhancer."

The company noted that this situation does not affect the Maersk contract for the Energy Enhancer.
