SDRL - Seadrill Receives Notice of Contract Cancellation for the West Mira
Hamilton, Bermuda, September 22, 2015 - Seadrill Limited ("Seadrill" or "The Company""), has been notified by Husky Oil Operations Limited ("Husky") of the cancellation of the drilling contract for the West Mira ("The Unit").
In the fourth quarter of 2012 Seadrill was awarded a 5 year contract for the West Mira with Husky for operations in Canada and Greenland. The total estimated base revenue potential was approximately $1 billion. As stated in the Company's second quarter earnings report, due to the late delivery of the Unit, the Company had tentatively agreed with Husky to reduce the dayrate on the West Mira. The construction contract was subsequently cancelled by Seadrill due to the Shipyard's inability to deliver the Unit within the timeframe required under the contract.
Seadrill remains in discussions with Husky to find an alternative solution to meet its drilling requirements.

EXHIBIT 99.2
SDRL - Comment on Sevan Drilling
Hamilton, Bermuda, October 19, 2015 - Seadrill Limited ("Seadrill" or "the Company") makes reference to the announcements by Sevan Marine and Sevan Drilling in regards to the ongoing investigation into corrupt activities involving Petrobras.
The charges made against Sevan Drilling relate to contracts awarded during the 2005-2008 time period, prior to both Seadrill's initial acquisition of a minority stake in Sevan Drilling and acquiring control.
At the time the Petrobras contracts were awarded, Sevan Drilling was a wholly-owned division of Sevan Marine ASA. In May 2011, Sevan Drilling was separated out from the 100% ownership of Sevan Marine ASA and listed separately on the Oslo stock exchange. In December 2011 Seadrill acquired a 28.5% stake in Sevan drilling and ultimately increased its stake to 50.11% in July 2013.
Seadrill remains committed to the highest ethical standards. The Company will cooperate if requested to do so by any and all authorities in relation to the ongoing investigation.
