NOTES
(1) Water Depth refers to the rig’s current nominal operating water depth capability. Often, rigs are capable of drilling or have drilled in greater water depths. In all cases, floating rigs are capable of working successfully at greater depths than their nominal depth. On a case by case basis, we may achieve a greater depth capacity by providing additional equipment.
(2)Additional rig capabilities noted within the column:
15K=15,000 PSI Well-Control System;DP=Dynamically Positioned Rig;IC=Independent-Leg Cantilevered Rig;MC=Mat-Supported Cantilever Rig;MS=Mat-Supported Slot Rig
(3) Yearrepresents when rig was (or is expected to be) built and originally placed in service or year redelivered with significant enhancements that enabled the rig to be classified within a different floater category than when originally constructed.
(4) Expected Downtime Daysonly include downtime events that are estimable as of this report date.Additional downtime is likely to be incurred in the form of possible mobes for new jobs not yet contracted, possible acceptance testing at new jobs, and unanticipated maintenance. Survey start times may also be accelerated or delayed for various reasons.
General Notes
Average Utilization:Assume rates of 92% for DP units, 96% for conventionally moored rigs, and 98% for jack-ups. Rig utilization rates can be adversely impacted by additional downtime due to unscheduled repairs and maintenance, and other factors.
Options should be assumed to be unpriced unless otherwise indicated.
All Dayrates Exclude Mobe.Mobe revenues (if any) and expenses are deferred and amortized over the life of the contract, in most cases. Mobe costs are generally offset by mobe revenues.
Survey Costs:During surveys, normal operating expense will be incurred, plus additional costs.

Forward-Looking Statements: This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may project, indicate or imply future results, events, performance or achievements, and may contain or be identified by the words “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “predict,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” and similar expressions. Statements by the Company in the rig status report that contain forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the current term, future dayrates, future status, start and end dates, and comments concerning future contracts and availability, letters of intent, utilization, surveys, downtime and other aspects of the Company’s drilling rigs, as well as statements concerning related legal proceedings and outcomes thereof, the impact of these and related events on our operations and revenues, rigs being upgraded or to be upgraded and rigs under construction. Such statements are inherently subject to a variety of assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or projected. A discussion of the risk factors that could impact these areas and the Company’s overall business and financial performance can be found in the Company’s reports and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These factors include, among others, general economic and business conditions, contract cancellations, customer bankruptcy, operating risks, casualty losses, industry fleet capacity, changes in foreign and domestic oil and gas exploration and production activity, competition, changes in foreign, political, social and economic conditions, regulatory initiatives and compliance with governmental regulations, customer preferences and various other matters, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Given these concerns, investors and analysts should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the rig status report, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement.
