<p/>
<p>"This is an unprecedented sale of late-model drilling and well service rigs," said <span class="xn-person">David Long</span>, co-founder of Kruse Energy and Equipment Auctioneers, LLC. "Because of the strong demand for energy and the strength of the industry, companies are upgrading equipment. Companies are now choosing competitive bidding through auctions to get the top dollar for their assets."</p>
<p/>
<p>Kruse Energy will be selling more than 40 rigs that are 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 models.</p>
<p/>
<p>"It is extremely rare to have so many late model rigs available," said Long. "With a rig offering such as this, I will not be surprised to have large investor groups from around the world at these auctions to take advantage of this rare opportunity."</p>
<p/>
<p>"This is good for the U.S. oil and gas industry," said Kruse Energy chief auctioneer <span class="xn-person">Jim Richie</span>. "These sales mean companies are upgrading and due to the strong demand for energy, more rigs will be going to work in the U.S."</p>
