I wanted to get back to you on the performance of the Steam Blanket that we have out on Akita Drilling, Rig 45E. It is second to none in its versatility. The convenience of being able to drag it around by its handles makes it safe and easy to move. It seems since we have got it, there have been no issues with having slippery spots on our matting, because the guys don't mind moving it around. Any of us that have actually had to steam matting with a piece of plastic, and a chain, knows that it doesn't get done efficiently because of the hassle of moving it all the time. The Steam Blanket has eliminated that problem. The Steam Blanket is also more efficient and uses less steam; and with the rising costs of fuel these days it makes this a huge factor in the cost of running a boiler.

In addition to using the Steam Blanket for steaming matting, we have been wrapping it around our tongs to warm them up and dry them off prior to making connections and tripping. It is also very handy for thawing out lines, and shakers on the mud tanks. I'm sure we will find all kinds of other uses for it. As of right now, I will be calling you to order another one. Every rig needs more than one Steam Blanket

In addition to this letter, I am sending you a couple of pictures of the blanket in use on the matting, so you can show your potential customers how easy, safe and user friendly the Steam Blanket is.
