North American land drillers like Nabors are generally priced around 10 times earnings. I believe this is because of the conventional wisdom \that the US was tapped out and it was a declining business. However, the unexpected success of companies exploiting shales is spurring a lot of difficult horizontal drilling. This should lead to better earnings and multiple expansion.
