Dahlman Rose assumes coverage on Hercules Offshore (NASDAQ: HERO) with a Hold.

Dahlman analyst says, "We expect the Gulf of Mexico Jackup market to tighten further from 88% marketed utilization currently to 94% by the end of 2012. Hercules’ Domestic Offshore quarterly EBITDA is expected to increase to roughly $25 million from roughly $8 million in 3Q11 as utilization and dayrates improve. If visibility increases enough, we believe the company could potentially reactivate rigs."
