agreed. Indeed there is more than one.

Diversification; There is no way that a company of HS/CHC's standing operating a contract for Statoil would knowingly use old parts (unless part of a fully approved refurbishment program with full traceability). There is an outside chance it would happen without their knowledge but so many systems and checks are there it is next to impossible. There have been a number of statements made about maintenance and we haven't yet had the report. But the standards these guys work to are the highest in the world. We should certainly give them more than the benefit of the doubt until some evidence is produced. I don't know any more than anybody else but I would be very surprised if they weren't entirely exonerated.
