HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - May 2, 2012) - Drilling Structures International, Inc. (DSII) (www.DrillingStructuresIntl.com) will unveil its proprietary Self Erecting Land Rig (SELRig), an unprecedented new technology currently not available in the global drilling market, to worldwide energy leaders, oil field executives and corporations during a private ceremony.
