Oceaneering International (NYSE:OII)

More offshore drilling = more need for underwater maintenance service.

Oil in increasingly difficult to get to. This company will help us get the good stuff.

This oil company goes deep sea diving for oil resources and I am in awe of the sea life which lives under the sea. I want to be under the sea in a submarine in a octopuses garden.

Any way I think this companies share price will only go up over the next five years.

The stock price has not been affected by the recent downturn do to it's strong balance sheet, growing revenue and the increase in offshore drilling activity. This is a great opportunity to invest in alternative oil exploration! The continual need for energy combined with new techniques make this company extremely attractive. Also the fact that they diversify outside the Gulf makes them even more attractive.

Oil demand is about to go through the roof with the Saudi Aramco mess. To counter that I expect other companies to be expanding their drilling, which should put OII on a fast-track to growth. Balance sheet looks good, and a competent management team to book. I like where this is headed.

Margin on the principal areas is around 35%

Executive compensation ranges from 4 million to 1.5 million. Most stock awards vest at 3 years to align execs interests with you and I.
Shares outstanding has grown from 94M to 108M from '02 til now, but EPS is up from 8 cents to 52 cents (That's almost double!...) Anyway, not terrible. ROV utilization rate is down a bit over the last few years, but rates are up. No debt, high margin, shareholder-friendly company.

New CEO is an unknown as the fearless leader, but has been with the company since they were diving with stone robots.

Who's with me!?

Despite Deepwater Horizon offshore oil and gas will continue to be an attractive market. I would not mind Oceaneering cleaning up and focusing their portfolio, though - mixing oil and entertainment?! It makes little sense to be a conglomerate in this way. I would like them to put some non-oilrelated businesses up for sale as they are probably worth much more to others than to Oceaneering.

exploring for oil never gets old and will be need for a long time to come

Oil isn't getting any more plentiful. These guys get paid to go looking for it.

Its obvious that demand for oil will increase, and these guys are in the business of getting that oil.

Lots of cash, generating great returns on equity...in addition to the growing demand for finding oil NOT buried beneath deserts. Who better to find "the bottom" than a deep-sea oil driller?

Excellent oil play, efficently run diving service, demand will continue to increase.

Not only is Oceaneering a big player in the oil service industry, they have diversified operations in the space, entertainment, and military sectors.

Long term oil demand is up and these guys can find the stuff that's hard to get.
