Over the last year, drilling activity has increased in the United States.
And despite the temporary shutdown of DWD in the Gulf this year, oilfield service company revenue was up over 2009.

And what difference does it make if Gulf drilling is down by foreign countries?
It's not. They're the only ones drilling there.
