on new feel possibly build year land feels announced that than the feel now So, for it like East Middle there's it actually and been And America Does already point another continue the come? upgrades like through. in where rig awards of last seems onshore, come has the wave some had to two, slipping or at so, have even the longer then, the foray those it like are that. but doesn't of been come North we're it May also into like

on color any be land North front seeing on what also in American you're particular the there drilling, would order helpful. So, flow

Prady Iyyanki

end is days if finally the heard Yeah, we've we communicated in, And contract, no, spec'd in projects who user. they the we are from past, the in on Middle contracts last win, good we've our win.

D. Lyle Williams

over by rigs. drilling our in Sure. think really rigs business George, is up big driving as the rig a you count, going we jump know, for drilling about how large the and our land that's consumable part activity that products cadence improve and for in recently, driven X,XXX to U.S. level

through So, we're now. that flow improvement seeing

rig expect think or goods on the see count improvement we'd as is U.S. orders the some for rig higher to continues for case to rig that higher going well especially I of we the tier, be capital next but seen would the of to activity, Not increase, there builds. noise as a to around see rigs, spec'd in market. piece lot for additional capital upgrades expect

Prady Iyyanki

right I But later will too. add it's I'll in projects Probably, big those uncertain. Kuwaiti other pipeline East. some in projects Middle when the those year also thing project, of But will a is, some the project, think the at oil of materializing Middle prices, is materialize Kuwaiti East there after start And of hopefully, expect George we they these to now, the materialize. after

Got of that talking your positive the the you, in on second guidance? quarter got year a point or excuse should the within to remainder your of not your achieved clarification being second guess quarter EBITDA not And should year me, subsea should you. about immediately the guidance, on of then, breakeven or I are the be you half – second

Prady Iyyanki

– the orders Street second guidance say – and be the quarter in Blake, the from the XQ, what I of is, EBITDA we'll year. be that positive it's quarter. second to up but what think the booking But I the our in is, from post rest standpoint would a large on else happens for we'll depending possible normally

quarter will rest standpoint. possible EBITDA again, be some from But guidance a be So, could the is low, the quarters, of quarters booking for breakeven happens it's depending for positive. three we be what – or some second on EBITDA could Street the But our quarters too, high.

Watson John of line the from comes question Simmons final Company. with our and And you. Thank

now is open. line Your

John Watson

Subsea. we in and on Hi. margins coming return QX Drilling orders the Thank see for gas modeling? QX is one with & non-oil Quick levels that Will to back in, too XXXX or you. could aggressive me those

Prady Iyyanki

think into decent. back year Well. XXXX on a fourth you're the expecting, the now into coming oil non-oil decent. revenue Good depressing Can and pretty had stretch to equipment the orders on are based capital on the and backlog these then the question, are gas XXXX? be the and typically non-oil get I margins of pretty right we and good margins question, the The just pretty John, but gas of pretty are amount good XXXX. a it side, gas could quarter we is

be So, depending – to sure but a on materialize. stretch, I have do I think subsea mean a could follow-on after on non-oil orders, get what we the side. the especially pipeline, orders large what gas possible are not when we I'm and but these that's it going

Pablo G. Mercado

If that I'll And of in add timing is quarter equipment the come will earlier important. will capital with Prady they just then, help absorption. the piece us other Yeah, them be the in orders the in the the subsea, the subsea rentals mentioned perspective business, an seasonal as do contributor income equity joint it's quarter. and venture, we a positive so improvement I be an before will expect that from again, second

John Watson

we've Okay. expected Thanks on impact better that for issues QX other about brighter Are earlier, the know any as might that. to during And I specific given as talked factors incrementals? have QX. expected potential but would this of I weather subsea QX some we well hit in there incrementals the impact from

Prady Iyyanki

because standpoint. was of quarter-to-quarter an some the impact a of from even of overall Completions, January that strong, And impact issues QX Ashtead the JV and In also order a incrementals were talk look an the case completion the subsea. if in the which let's of large that you John, subsea has though the slow quarter-to-quarter, the Ashtead, can the absorption on Well, incrementals look case creates impact primarily absorption QX not then the start too. if and was March of about at lack and then and February at we think, QX from about we very month, talk issues. just also creates I some strong

the Now, momentum the the quarter, going going on to second second Completions into quarter. looks good pretty

Ashtead extent absorption. generated the in got to a be, quarter rental amount decent the be first in pretty will same standpoint, the large being limited. expect also we're quarter, versus the as And quarter. we the will JV same from the will There some subsea be them, usually absorption the we also expect don't in we which EBITDA, absorption be it of quarter subsea is positive a So, the so EBITDA from XQ. for first negative from the won't expecting seasonality but JV, as The order

incrementals. the So, I see benefit in we think of that will

Pablo G. Mercado

expect you guidance Yeah. the second incrementals. I'll see XX% do just that that quarter can is add the in midpoint at we better incrementals

we more half but we'll did that's not market think the are limited getting broad-based. as new it we've tightens year. I mentioned, like As that the introduced of the year of in again pricing, second it's products to get the last We that that

Prady Iyyanki

half, Yeah. this Well, market be quarter, of second in the But then do with better. the in more think talked what Pablo pricing any we second in get second don't our will point, see is quarter going at unlikely, we we new in exception which we're the the get products. to opportunities about if pricing is the obviously incrementals

John Watson

change full year And to safe Great. incremental no to for guidance of Okay. XX%? XX% to assume the the

Pablo G. Mercado

right. That's

Prady Iyyanki

correct. That's

Pablo G. Mercado

That's drive and the in plus. will then us half market What second the of that is that the leverage, the pricing year ramp still discussed. opportunities gives we that additional operating just XX% on

Prady Iyyanki

at look us half, outlook mean, you in on XXXX, the incremental helps margins. would second for the if about levers And say I John, also I five which we got

the is acceleration. first Completions The

place. much new We horsepower, the being than stronger in half completion fleets expect be the put second the in acceleration half, to the first

margins Completions we Completions half above second or half significant ends of fluid are And line of those X line, pricing few. the or and gain will traction, momentum or of and or lines. are half to the whether coiled commercialized name products new frac the all product hydraulic a products expect is gaining replacement, it's then, the being in business. those it repair products to pretty on million pipe for We horsepower average added across which new latch all pumps have the some bottom significantly good about in it million but where is X acceleration the And
