Are you perhaps joking? This rig rents for $500,000 a day US and it drills 24 / 7 / 365. As to increased demand, any oil they find will not come on line for years.
You are quite right, and it should also be pointed out that the rig is equipped with the new-fangled “electric lights” which allow work to be carried out during the dark hours.

The accident discussed (in the post in the thread, no tthe article) was last year, not this year.
Industry-wide rig utilization rates and drilling is seasonal; it’s not a matter of opinion.
