Yes, the benefit is from the greater adjustability of the frac. rig.


lots of advantages to a frac rig, but suppression of the tip vortex of

is not one of them.


Shh, it'll take Doug quite some time to figure this all out.



MC,

I'm usually quite lost (at sea) during your discussions with Doug.
However, I never expected to see you depend on Jax for support. Well,
now I know!


You miss the point. Jax is correct on this one and I am giving him
credit for that. Just 'cos he's Jax doesn't mean he's always wrong!

Cheers
