From Cramer:
"We still haven't seen the big deal in the oil-service patch that I am expecting, even though the rig count is going up big...natural gas is high and oil's not going down. The earnings -- despite the way-too-cautionary article I read in the Journal about the cohort -- should be way good. Hard to imagine we won't see a deal real soon in this group."
Here are the names he is watching.

-
NBR
Nabors Inds Inc N - $21.99
- -1.08%
- $21.80
We have thought that Nabors (NBR) would do something big, and it hasn't happened yet.

-
GSF
Gsf - $0.00
- N/A
- $N/A
GlobalSantaFe's (GSF) interested in doing a big deal. We know they'd be willing to sell.

-
HAL
Halliburton Co - $31.03
- +1.57%
- $30.20
Halliburton (HAL) has made it very clear that it wants to do some buying to diversify away from the U.S.

-
LUFK
Lufkin Industries - $58.82
- +0.24%
- $58.89
If you believed, as this article indicated, that the earnings would make you shudder, you would have missed five quick ones in Lufkin Industries

-
SLB
Schlumberger Ltd - $64.40
- -1.08%
- $64.35
And don't forget the Schlumberger (SLB) April $75 calls for a Friday earnings report that could be bountiful.
