The results reflect higher revenues and operating gross margins as a percent of revenues for our Rental Tools segment and higher revenues and earnings from our Project Management and Engineering Services segment.

Revenues in our Americas region increased by $4.2 million mainly due to higher rig utilization in the third quarter of 2010 compared with the same period in the prior year and recognition of demobilization revenue of $1.2 million on one of our contracts cancelled during the quarter. Revenues in our CIS/AME region decreased by $11.6 million primarily due to lower fleet utilization and a lower average dayrate during the third quarter of 2010, partially offset by $3.2 million of revenue related to cancellation of a rig in Kazakhstan. Additionally, rig 257, our Caspian Sea Arctic barge rig was on a zero dayrate during part of the quarter while it completed its repair, refurbishment and upgrade program. In our Asia Pacific region, revenues decreased $2.9 million due primarily to lower utilization in New Zealand and Indonesia and reduced dayrates in Indonesia in the third quarter of 2010 compared with the same period in 2009.
