                     REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
                     ----------------------------------

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of ENSCO International Incorporated

    In our opinion, based upon our audits and the report of other auditors,
the accompanying consolidated  balance sheet and  the related  consolidated
statements of  income and  of cash  flows present  fairly, in  all material
respects, the financial  position of ENSCO  International Incorporated  and
its subsidiaries  at December 31, 1995  and 1994, and the  results of their
operations and their cash flows for  each of the three years in the  period
ended December 31, 1995, in  conformity with generally accepted  accounting
principles.    These financial  statements  are the  responsibility  of the
Company's  management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our  audits.  We did not audit  the financial
statements  of  the  Company's Venezuelan  operations  for  the year  ended
December  31, 1993, which statements reflect  total revenues of $28,970,000
for the year then  ended. Those statements were  audited by other  auditors
whose report  thereon has been furnished  to us, and our  opinion expressed
herein,  insofar as it  relates to the  amounts included  for the Company's
Venezuelan operations, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We  conducted our audits of  these statements in  accordance with generally
accepted  auditing standards  which require  that we  plan and  perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on a test
basis, evidence  supporting the amounts  and disclosures  in the  financial
statements,  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant
estimates  made  by  management,  and  evaluating  the  overall   financial
statement presentation.   We believe  that our audits  and report of  other
auditors provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

    As discussed  in Note  10, in  1993 the  Company changed its  method of
accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions.

(not  presented  separately  herein)  of  ENSCO  DRILLING  VENEZUELA,  INC. 
(Venezuelan  Branch)  for  the  period  from  March  15, 1993  (start-up of
operations) to December 31, 1993.  Our  examination  was made in accordance
with generally accepted auditing  standards and, accordingly, included such
tests of the accounting records and  such other  auditing  procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances.

statements  adjusted  for the  effects  of  inflation.  This  statement  is
applicable  to  the  years  beginning  after  December  31, 1992.   Company
Management has decided  not to present  the supplementary  financial state-
ments adjusted for the effects of inflation  for the period  ended December
31, 1993, which is a requirement according to the aforementioned statement.

     In  our  opinion,  except for  the matter  mentioned in  the preceding
paragraph, the statements of income and deficit and  cash flows referred to
above present  fairly  the results  of  operations and  cash flows of ENSCO
DRILLING  VENEZUELA, INC. (Venezuelan Branch) for the period from March 15,

             ENSCO INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
      ------------------------------------------

  ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     ENSCO   International   Incorporated  (the   "Company"),   a  Delaware
corporation,  was  incorporated in  August 1987,  and  is the  successor by
merger to Blocker Energy Corporation.   At the Company's Annual Meeting  of
Stockholders held on May 23, 1995, the stockholders approved the  change in
the  name  of  the Company  from  Energy  Service  Company, Inc.  to  ENSCO
International  Incorporated.    The  accompanying   consolidated  financial
statements  include  the accounts  of the  Company  and its  majority owned
subsidiaries.   The Company's investments  in 50% or  less owned affiliates
are  accounted for  under the  equity method.   See  Note 4  "Investment in
Equity Affiliate."  All significant intercompany accounts and  transactions
have been eliminated.  

     In August  1993,  the  Company completed  the  step  acquisition  (the
"Penrod  Acquisition") of Penrod Holding Corporation ("Penrod").   See Note
2  "Acquisition."   The  Company has  included  the income  from continuing
operations of  Penrod in  its  consolidated statement  of income  beginning
January  1, 1993 and has  presented the preacquisition  earnings related to
the  64% of Penrod which  it did not  own prior to August  1993 as Minority
Interest. 

  CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

     The  Company's consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended
December 31,  1993 includes the cash  and cash equivalents acquired  in the
Penrod Acquisition, net  of acquisition  costs, plus the  cash provided  by
operating activities of Penrod  subsequent to the Penrod Acquisition.   The
cash  flows from investing and financing activities of Penrod subsequent to
the Penrod  Acquisition, including  additions  to property  and  equipment,
long-term borrowings,  and repayments  of  long-term borrowings,  are  also
included in the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows for the year
ended December  31, 1993.   The cash  provided by  operating activities  of
Penrod prior to the  Penrod Acquisition and  the cash flows from  investing
and financing activities of Penrod prior to the Penrod Acquisition have not
been included in the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows for the
year ended December 31, 1993.

     For purposes of the  consolidated balance sheet and statement  of cash
flows,  the Company  considers highly  liquid debt  instruments to  be cash
equivalents if they have  maturities of three months or less at the date of
purchase.

  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

     The U.S.  dollar is  the functional  currency of the  majority of  the
Company's   foreign  subsidiaries.  The   financial  statements   of  these
subsidiaries,  as  well  as the  financial  statements  of certain  foreign
subsidiaries that operate in highly inflationary economies, are remeasured




in U.S.  dollars  based on  a combination  of both  current and  historical
exchange  rates.   Gains  and losses  caused  by the  remeasurement process
applicable  to these foreign subsidiaries are reflected in the consolidated
statement  of income.  Translation  losses were $422,000,  $1.3 million and
$1.4  million  for the  years  ended  December  31,  1995, 1994  and  1993,
respectively.

  SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

     Short-term  investments  are  comprised  of  debt  instruments  having
maturities  of greater than three months and less than one year at the date
of purchase and are stated at cost  due to the Company's intent and ability
to hold  the investments to maturity.   The aggregate fair  value of short-
term  investments at December 31,  1995 approximates cost.   As of December
31, 1995, short-term investments consisted of debt instruments issued by U.
S. government agencies.

  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Depreciation on drilling rigs and related equipment and marine vessels
acquired  after  1990  is computed  using  the  straight  line method  over
estimated useful lives ranging from 4 to 15 years.   Depreciation for other
equipment and for buildings and improvements is computed using the straight
line  method over estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to 6 years and 2 to
30  years,  respectively.    Depreciation  on  drilling  rigs  and  related
equipment and marine vessels acquired prior  to 1991 is computed using  the
units-of-production method over  estimated useful lives ranging  from 10 to
15 years.  Under  the units-of-production method, depreciation is  based on
the  utilization of the drilling rigs  and vessels with a minimum provision
when the rigs or vessels are idle.  

     In  connection with  the Company's  rig upgrade  program in  1995, the
remaining useful lives  of certain of the Company's jackup  rigs, for which
major enhancements were performed,  has been extended to twelve  years from
the  time each  respective rig left  the shipyard  to better  reflect their
remaining  economic lives.   The effect of  this change in  estimate was to
increase net  income for the year  ended December 31, 1995  by $892,000, or
$.01 per share.

     Maintenance  and  repair costs  are  charged to  expense  as incurred.
Major  renewals  and improvements  are  capitalized.   Upon  retirement  or
replacement  of assets, the  related cost and  accumulated depreciation are
removed from the  accounts and the  resulting gain or  loss is included  in
income.

  GOODWILL

     Goodwill arising from  the acquisition  of Penrod in  1993 and  Argosy
Offshore, Ltd. in 1991 is amortized on the straight-line basis over periods
of  40 years and 10 years, respectively.  See Note 2 "Acquisition."  During
1995,  goodwill  from  the  Penrod Acquisition  was  reduced  primarily for
adjustments to deferred taxes.  See Note 11 "Income Taxes."   Goodwill, net
of accumulated amortization, was $7.3 million and $21.2 million at December
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and is included in Other Assets.




  IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

     In  1995,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 121 ("SFAS No. 121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets  and for Long-Lived Assets  to Be Disposed Of,"  which did not
have an  impact upon the Company.   As required, the  Company evaluates the
realizability of its  long-lived assets, including  property and  equipment
and  goodwill,  based  upon expectations  of  undiscounted  cash  flows and
operating income.

  INCOME TAXES

     In  1993,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  No. 109  ("SFAS No.  109"), "Accounting  for Income  Taxes," the
effects of which were applied retroactively to the beginning of 1990.  SFAS
No. 109  requires the Company to  compute deferred income taxes  based upon
the amount of  taxes payable in future  years after considering changes  in
tax rates  and other statutory provisions  that will be in  effect in those
years.  The provision for income taxes includes federal, foreign, state and
local  income  taxes  currently  payable  and  those  deferred  because  of
temporary  differences between  the financial  statement  and tax  bases of
assets and liabilities.  See Note 11 "Income Taxes."  

  MINORITY INTEREST 

     ENSCO Drilling (Caribbean),  Inc. ("Caribbean") has  been included  in
the Company's consolidated  financial statements for  all years  presented.
In March 1995, the  Company purchased an additional 15% equity  interest in
Caribbean from the minority shareholder.  The purchase, which was effective
January  1, 1995, increased  the Company's ownership  interest in Caribbean
from  70% to  85%.   In consideration  for the  additional 15%  interest in
Caribbean acquired, the Company makes  payments to the minority shareholder
that  are based  upon, in  general, the  utilization of  existing Caribbean
rigs.   In addition, in  the event of  a future sale of  any rigs currently
owned by Caribbean, the  minority shareholder is entitled to  an additional
15% of  the net proceeds  upon sale.   The minority shareholders'  interest
included in the Company's  consolidated balance sheet at December  31, 1995
and 1994 was  $5.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively,  and is included
in Other Liabilities.  

     The Company's consolidated financial  statements include Penrod, which
was  a 36%  owned  affiliate  prior to  the  Company's acquisition  of  the
remaining interest in  August 1993.   See Note  2 "Acquisition."   Minority
interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1993 included $4.5 million
related to the preacquisition earnings of Penrod. 

  PERVASIVENESS OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation  of financial statements in  conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles  requires management to  make estimates  and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and
related   revenues  and   expenses,  and  disclosure   of  gain   and  loss
contingencies  at the  date of  the financial  statements.   Actual results
could differ from those estimates.  





  INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

     Income  per common  share  has been  computed  based on  the  weighted
average number  of common shares  outstanding during the  applicable period
after recognition of minority interest charges and preferred stock dividend
requirements.   All weighted average share  and per share amounts have been
restated  to reflect  the one  share  for four  shares reverse  stock split
("reverse  stock split")   which was effective  June 1,  1994.  See  Note 8
"Stockholders' Equity."

  RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to  conform
to the 1995 presentation.

2.    ACQUISITION
      -----------

     In August 1993, the Company  acquired the remaining 64% of  the common
stock of  Penrod not then beneficially  owned by the Company.   In exchange
for the common stock of Penrod, the Company issued 25.5  million net shares
(102.1 million net  shares prior to the reverse stock  split) of its common
stock valued at approximately $227.9 million.  The exchange was  based upon
one common  share of the  Company's common stock  (after the reverse  stock
split) for each share of Penrod common stock.

     The Company accounted for  the Penrod Acquisition, under the  rules of
purchase accounting, as a step acquisition.  Under a  step acquisition, the
acquiring company  purchases  its  controlling  interest  in  the  acquired
company through  a series of transactions  at different time  intervals.  A
partial  step-up or step-down in basis of  the acquired company's assets is
recognized  in the consolidated  financial statements of  the acquirer each
time an  additional interest is acquired.   The purchase by  the Company of
the remaining 64% of Penrod was recorded  at the price paid at the time  of
purchase, while the prior  36% ownership of Penrod obtained  by the Company
in prior transactions remained at historical cost.  

3.    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
      ----------------------

     Property and  equipment at December 31, 1995 and 1994 consisted of the
following (in thousands):
                                          
                                                1995       1994   
                                              --------   --------

                                              --------   -------- 
                                              $818,266   $652,573 
                                              ========   ======== 



     In March 1995, the Company purchased a jackup rig located in the North
Sea and simultaneously entered  into a bareboat charter agreement  with the
seller,  which is  expected to  terminate in February  1996.   The purchase
price consisted of  $12.8 million paid at  closing and an  additional $13.0
million to be paid at the end of the bareboat charter period.  

     In  November 1995, the Company purchased the remaining 50% interest in
a jackup  rig  from its  joint  venture partner  in  Mexico.   See  Note  4
"Investment  in Equity Affiliate."  In December 1995, the Company purchased
six supply vessels in two separate transactions for aggregate consideration
of  $8.8 million.   Four  of the  supply vessels  acquired were  previously
operated under  operating  lease agreements.   See  Note 5  "Leases."   The
Company's additions to property  and equipment for the year  ended December
31,  1995   also  included   $109.7  million   in  connection   with  major
modifications and enhancements of rigs and vessels.

     In February 1994, the Company purchased two jackup rigs located in the
North Sea and simultaneously entered  into bareboat charter agreements with
the seller, which were terminated on December 31, 1994.  The purchase price
consisted of $50.0 million paid at closing, $4.2 million which was credited
against the bareboat charter payments during the fourth quarter of 1994 and
$1.8 million paid in December 1994 upon termination of the bareboat charter
contracts.  

     The  Company's additions to property and equipment for the years ended
December  31, 1994  and  1993 included  $62.2  million and  $65.7  million,
respectively, in connection  with the construction of  eight barge drilling
rigs, of  which four were delivered  to Venezuela in March  through June of
1993 and  the remaining four  were delivered to  Venezuela in  July through
September of 1994.   The rigs immediately commenced operations  under five-
year drilling contracts with Lagoven, S.A. ("Lagoven"), an affiliate of the
Venezuelan national oil company.   The contracts afford Lagoven  the option
to  buy the  barge drilling  rigs during  or at  the end  of the  five-year
contracts.

     In November and December of  1994, the Company sold three of  its land
rigs and related equipment located in the Middle East for $7.5 million.  In
June 1994,  the Company completed  the sale of  its United States  land rig
operations consisting of twelve land rigs and related equipment, as well as
an  office building  and  yard, for  $15.5 million,  consisting of  cash, a
promissory note and receivables.   No significant gains or  losses resulted
from the  1994 land rig sales.   In November 1993,  the Company transferred
three  inactive  land  rigs to  work  in  progress in  connection  with the
construction  of four  barge drilling  rigs which  began operating  in July
through September of 1994 in  Venezuela.  The rigs had a net  book value of
$6.8 million at the date of transfer to work in progress.

4.    INVESTMENT IN EQUITY AFFILIATE 
      ------------------------------

     Investment  in  equity  affiliate  at  December  31,  1994   consisted
primarily of the  Company's 50% interest  in a joint  venture that owned  a
jackup rig  operating in  the territorial  waters of Mexico.   In  November
1995, the joint venture was effectively dissolved and the Company purchased
the   joint  venture  partner's  interest  in  the  jackup  rig  for  total
consideration  of  $4.2 million.   The  Company's  investment in  the joint
venture of $6.6 million, at the date of the purchase, was reclassified to




property  and equipment in the  Company's consolidated balance  sheet.  For
the  years ended  December 31, 1995,  1994 and  1993, the  Company recorded
income of  $200,000, $700,000  and $561,000, respectively,  in Income  from
Equity Affiliates from  its beneficial ownership in the joint venture.  The
Company received distributions from  the joint venture of $425,000  in 1995
and $2.2  million in 1994, of  which $1.1 million of  the 1994 distribution
represented  a return of capital.   No distributions were received from the
joint venture in 1993.

5.   LEASES
     ------

     The Company  is obligated under leases for  certain of its offices and
equipment.  In  December 1995,  the Company purchased  four supply  vessels
which  were  previously  operated  pursuant  to  ten-year  operating  lease
agreements.  See Note 3 "Property and Equipment."  

     Rental expense  relating to  operating leases  was $3.1  million, $3.3
million and  $3.7 million for the  years ended December 31,  1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively.   Future minimum  rental payments  under the  Company's
noncancellable  operating lease  obligations  having initial  or  remaining
lease terms  in excess of one  year are as  follows: $2.7 million  in 1996;
$2.4 million in 1997; $1.9 million  in 1998; $1.3 million in 1999; $680,000
in 2000 and $100,000 thereafter.

6.   LONG-TERM DEBT
     --------------

     Long-term debt at December 31, 1995 and 1994 consists of the following
(in thousands):

                                                    1995       1994

                                                  ========   ======== 

     A subsidiary of the  Company entered into two financing  arrangements,
totalling  $143.0 million, with a  subsidiary of a  Japanese corporation in
connection  with the construction of eight barge drilling rigs delivered to
Venezuela  in 1993 and 1994.   The financing  arrangements consist of eight
secured  term loans, one  for each barge  drilling rig.   The eight secured
term  loans bear interest  at an average  fixed rate of 8.17%  and are each
repayable in 60 equal monthly installments of principal and interest ending
in  mid-1998 through  the first  part of  2000.   The term  loans are  each
secured by a  specific barge drilling  rig, which had  a combined net  book
value of $124.2  million at December 31, 1995, and  the charter contract on
each rig.  The secured term  loans are expected to be repaid from  the cash
flow generated by the eight barge drilling rigs and are without recourse to
the Company.




     In  September  1995, the  Company  amended and  restated  its original
$100.0 million loan arrangement, which consisted of a $60.0 million secured
term loan  and a $40.0  million revolving line  of credit, with  a group of
large international banks.  The amended and restated facility is structured
as a $130.0 million,  six year, revolving credit facility  ("Facility"), of
which $66.0  million was drawn as of December 31, 1995.  The Company incurs
a  0.5% annual  commitment  fee on  the  undrawn portion  of the  Facility.
Availability under the Facility is reduced by $6.0 million on a semi-annual
basis with  the remaining  outstanding balance  due in October  2001.   The
Facility  carries a floating interest rate tied to London InterBank Offered
Rates  ("LIBOR") for which the margin on the Facility may increase by up to
0.5% based  upon the Company's  debt ratio.  As  of December 31,  1995, the
interest rate on the Facility was 7.16% per annum.  The Company has entered
into  interest rate  swap  agreements with  two  of the  lender  banks that
effectively  change the interest rate  on $32.0 million  of the outstanding
Facility from a floating rate to a fixed rate of 7.48%, absent any increase
in the margin  level of  the Facility  associated with  the Company's  debt
ratio, through  October 2000.  In   January 1996, the  Company entered into
another interest rate swap  agreement, effective April  1996,  with one  of
the  lender  banks  that  effectively  changes  the  interest  rate  on  an
additional $16.0 million of  the outstanding Facility from a  floating rate
to a fixed  rate of 6.84%, absent  any increase in the margin  level of the
Facility associated  with the Company's  debt ratio, through  October 2000.
The Facility is  collateralized by  certain of the  Company's jackup  rigs,
which had a combined net book value of $278.8 million at December 31, 1995.
The facility  requires that the Company maintain specified minimum balances
of cash and working capital, maintain  certain operating cash flows and not
exceed  a  certain debt  to  total  asset ratio,  and  it  includes certain
limitations on dividends and requires that the appraised value  of the rigs
securing  the facility  exceed the  amount  drawn under  the facility  by a
specified factor.  

     In  October  1993,  the Company  entered  into  a  $25.0 million  loan
agreement with a financial institution.   The seven year secured term  loan
bears interest at a  fixed rate of 7.91%  per annum, repayable in 28  equal
quarterly  installments  ending  October  15,  2000.    The  term  loan  is
collateralized by certain  of the Company's  marine transportation  vessels
which had a combined net book value  of $38.5 million at December 31, 1995.
The loan agreement requires  that the Company maintain a  specified minimum
tangible  net worth  and that  the Company  not exceed  a certain  ratio of
liabilities to tangible net worth.

     In  December  1995, in  connection with  the  purchase of  four supply
vessels  that were  previously  leased, the  Company  entered into  a  $4.7
million loan  agreement with the seller.   The five year  secured term loan
bears interest at  a fixed rate of  7.75% per annum, repayable  in 20 equal
quarterly   installments  ending   January   2001.     The  term   loan  is
collateralized  by the four supply  vessels purchased which  had a combined
net book value of $4.5 million at December 31, 1995.

     In  March  1994, the  Company  redeemed  its convertible  subordinated
debentures consisting of $5.1 million principal amount of 8.25% convertible
subordinated debentures. 




     The  Company maintains legally restricted cash balances with a bank as
collateral  for  a letter  of  credit  issued by  the  bank  related to  an
insurance arrangement.   These  restricted  cash balances  aggregated  $1.3
million at  December 31,  1995 and  are included  in  prepaid expenses  and
other.

     Maturities  of long-term debt are as  follows:  $32.1 million in 1996;
$34.7 million in  1997; $29.5 million in 1998; $23.3  million in 1999; $5.5
million in 2000 and $66.2 million thereafter.

7.    PREFERRED STOCK
      ---------------

     In  August  1994,  the Company  issued  a  redemption  notice for  the
2,839,110   outstanding  shares   of  its   $1.50  Cumulative   Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock ("$1.50 Preferred Stock"), which was also  the
number of shares  outstanding at December 31,  1993.  Holders of  2,807,147
shares of the $1.50 Preferred Stock elected to convert each of their shares
into  approximately 1.786  shares  of the  Company's  common stock.    Such
conversion  resulted in the issuance  of 5,012,762 shares  of the Company's
common stock.    Holders  of  the  remaining 31,963  shares  of  the  $1.50
Preferred Stock  elected to redeem  their shares  which resulted in  a cash
payment  of  $799,000.    Dividends  on  the  $1.50  Preferred  Stock  were
cumulative and payable quarterly when declared at a rate of $1.50 per annum
per share.

8.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
     --------------------

     The  Company's  stockholders approved  a  one  share  for four  shares
reverse stock split of the  Company's common stock at the  Company's Annual
Meeting  of Stockholders  held on  May  24, 1994.   All  references in  the
financial statements to weighted average common shares outstanding,  income
per common share amounts and the 1994 share amounts in the table below have
been restated to reflect the reverse  stock split.  The aggregate par value
of  the Company's common stock  was reduced and  additional paid-in capital
was increased to reflect the decreased aggregate par value of the Company's
common stock outstanding subsequent to the reverse stock split.    

     In  December 1994,  the Company's  Board of  Directors  authorized the
repurchase of up  to $50.0 million  of the Company's common  stock.  As  of
December 31, 1995, the Company had repurchased 800,800 shares of its common
stock,  of  which 201,400  were repurchased  in  December 1994  and 599,400
shares  were  repurchased in  the  first  half of  1995.    No shares  were
repurchased  in the second  half of 1995.   Management anticipates that any
future repurchases of  the Company's common  stock will be funded  from the
Company's cash flow from operations and working capital.

     At the Company's  Annual Meeting  of Stockholders held  on August  10,
1993,  the Company's  stockholders approved  an increase  in the  number of
authorized shares of common stock ($.10 par value) of the Company from 62.5
million  (250.0 million prior to the reverse stock split)  to 125.0 million
(500.0 million prior to the reverse stock split).




     In  March 1988,  in connection  with borrowings  under a  secured loan
facility,  the Company  issued  warrants to  purchase  625,000 shares  (2.5
million shares prior to  the reverse stock split) at  prices between $15.00
and $18.00 per share ($3.75  and $4.50 per share prior to the reverse stock
split).   The warrants were  extinguished in October  1993 at the  time the
secured loans were repaid.

each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 is as follows

/TABLE





   Foreign  currency translation  adjustments, which  are accumulated  as a
separate  component of  stockholders'  equity, result  from changes  in the
exchange  rate  of  certain  foreign  subsidiaries  which  maintain   their
financial statements in the local currency. Translation adjustment activity
was insignificant for all years presented.

   On February  21, 1995, the Board  of Directors of the  Company adopted a
shareholder  rights plan  and declared  a dividend  of one  preferred share
purchase  right (a  "Right") for each  share of the  Company's common stock
outstanding on March 6, 1995.  Each Right initially entitles  its holder to
purchase 1/100th of a share of  the Company's Series A Junior Participating
Preferred  Stock for $50.00, subject  to adjustment.   The Rights generally
will not become exercisable until 10 days after a public  announcement that
a person or  group has acquired 15%  or more of the Company's  common stock
(thereby becoming an "Acquiring Person") or the commencement of a tender or
exchange offer  upon consummation of which  such person or group  would own
15% or more of the  Company's common stock (the earlier of such dates being
called the  "Distribution Date").  Rights will be issued with all shares of
the Company's common stock  issued from March  6, 1995 to the  Distribution
Date.   Until the Distribution  Date, the Rights  will be evidenced  by the
certificates  representing  the   Company's  common  stock   and  will   be
transferrable only with the Company's common stock.  If any person or group
becomes an  Acquiring Person,  each Right,  other than  Rights beneficially
owned  by the  Acquiring Person  (which will  thereupon become  void), will
thereafter  entitle its  holder to  purchase, at  the Right's  then current
exercise price, shares  of the Company's common stock having a market value
of two times the  exercise price of the Right.  If, after a person or group
has  become an  Acquiring Person, the  Company is  acquired in  a merger or
other business  combination transaction or  50% or  more of  its assets  or
earning power are sold, each Right (other than Rights owned by an Acquiring
Person which will have become void) will entitle its holder to purchase, at
the Rights then  current exercise  price, that number  of shares of  common
stock of  the person with  whom the  Company has engaged  in the  foregoing
transaction (or its parent) which at the time of such transaction will have
a market  value of two  times the exercise price  of the Right.   After any
person  or group   has become an  Acquiring Person, the  Company's Board of
Directors may, under certain circumstances, exchange each Right (other than
Rights of  the Acquiring Person) for  shares of the Company's  common stock
having a  value equal to  the difference  between the market  value of  the
shares of the Company's common stock receivable upon exercise  of the Right
and  the exercise  price  of the  Right.   The  Company  will generally  be
entitled to redeem  the Rights for $.01 per Right at any time until 10 days
after a public  announcement that a  15% position has  been acquired.   The
Rights expire on February 21, 2005. 

9.    EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
      ----------------------

  EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS

   The  Company has  an employee  stock option  plan as  part of  the ENSCO
Incentive Plan (the  "Incentive Plan").  The maximum  number of shares with
respect to which awards may be  made pursuant to the Incentive Plan is  6.3
million.  Of the 6.3 million shares, a  minimum of 625,000 are reserved for
issuance of  incentive stock grants and  a minimum of 625,000  are reserved
for issuance as profit sharing grants.



   The exercise price of stock options under the Incentive Plan is the fair
market value of the stock at the date  the option is granted.  Accordingly,
no compensation expense is  recognized by the Company with  respect to such
grants.   Non-qualified options  are generally  exercisable one year  after
grant.    Incentive  stock  options generally  become  exercisable  in  25%
increments over a four-year  period.  To the extent not  exercised, options
expire generally on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant.

   A summary of  stock option transactions, restated for the  reverse stock
split, under the  Incentive Plan  is as follows  (in thousands, except  per
share amounts):

       Outstanding December 31, 1992  . . . . . . .        1,046 
            Granted ($12.00 per share)  . . . . . .          310

       Outstanding December 31, 1995  . . . . . . .        1,121 

    At  December  31, 1995,  377,000  options  were exercisable  at  prices
ranging  from $4.75  to $15.69 per  share.   Under the  Incentive Plan, 2.3
million  shares were available for grant  as options or incentive grants at
December 31, 1995.

    In October  1995,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
Statement of  Financial  Accounting Standards  No.  123 ("SFAS  No.  123"),
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which establishes accounting and
reporting standards for various  stock based compensation plans.   SFAS No.
123 encourages  the adoption of a fair value based method of accounting for
employee stock options, but permits continued application of the accounting
method  prescribed by Accounting Principles Board  Opinion No. 25 ("Opinion
25"), "Accounting for Stock  Issued to Employees."  Entities  that continue
to apply  the provisions of Opinion  25 must make pro  forma disclosures of
net income and  earnings per  share as if  the fair value  based method  of
accounting had been  applied.  The Company will adopt SFAS  No. 123 in 1996
and currently expects to continue to account for its employee stock options
in accordance with the provisions of Opinion 25.  

  INCENTIVE STOCK GRANTS

    Key employees, who  are in a position  to contribute materially  to the
Company's growth and development and to its long-term success, are eligible
for incentive stock  grants under  the Incentive Plan  through February  8,
1998.   Shares of  common stock subject  to incentive grants  shall vest on
such a  basis as  determined  by a  committee of  the  Board of  Directors.
Through 1995, incentive stock grants for 1.2 million shares of common stock
were granted,  of which 637,250 were  vested at December 31,  1995.  During
1995,  1994  and 1993,  incentive stock  grants  for 52,500  shares, 60,000
shares and 12,500 shares (50,000 shares prior to  the reverse stock split),
respectively, were granted.  During 1993, 10,000 shares (40,000 shares



prior   to  the  reverse  stock  split)  were  forfeited.    The  remaining
outstanding incentive stock grants vest as  follows:  94,750 in each of the
years 1996 through 1998, 92,250 in each of the years 1999 and 2000,  11,250
in each of  the years  2001 through 2004  and 5,250 in  2005.  The  Company
charged $1.1 million,  $1.0 million and $1.0 million to  operations in each
of the years 1995, 1994 and 1993,  respectively, related to incentive stock
grants.   The unvested portion of  the incentive stock grants is classified
in  the Stockholders' Equity section  of the consolidated  balance sheet as
Restricted Stock (Unearned Compensation). 

  SAVINGS PLAN

    The Company has a profit sharing plan (the "ENSCO Savings  Plan") which
covers eligible employees with  more than one year of  service, as defined.
Profit sharing contributions require Board of Directors approval and may be
in  cash or  grants of the  Company's common  stock.   The Company recorded
profit  sharing contribution  provisions for  the years ended  December 31,
1995,  1994  and  1993   of  $1.7  million,  $1.1  million   and  $500,000,
respectively.

    The ENSCO Savings  Plan includes  a 401(k) savings  plan feature  which
allows eligible  employees with more than  three months of service  to make
tax  deferred  contributions  to the  plan.    The  Company makes  matching
contributions based on the  amount of employee contributions and  rates set
annually  by  the Company's  Board  of Directors.    Matching contributions
totalled  $702,000,   $307,000  and  $64,000   in  1995,  1994   and  1993,
respectively.  The Company has reserved  500,000 shares of common stock for
issuance as matching contributions under the ENSCO Savings Plan. 

  SELECT EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

    The  Company  implemented the  Select  Executive  Retirement Plan  (the
"SERP") effective  April 1, 1995 to provide a tax deferred savings plan for
certain highly  compensated employees  whose  participation in  the  401(k)
savings  plan  features of  the  ENSCO Savings  Plan  is restricted  due to
funding and contribution  limitations of  the Internal Revenue  Code.   The
SERP is an unfunded plan and eligibility for participation is determined by
the  Company's Board of Directors.   The contribution  and Company matching
provisions of the SERP are identical to the ENSCO Savings Plan, except that
each participant's contributions and matching contributions under the  SERP
are  further  limited by  contribution amounts,  if  any, under  the 401(k)
savings plan feature  of the  ENSCO Savings Plan.   Matching  contributions
totalled $22,000 in 1995 and the SERP liability of $139,000  is included in
Other Liabilities at December 31, 1995.

  EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLAN

    Eligible  former  Penrod  employees participate  in  a  noncontributory
defined benefit employee  retirement plan.   However, the  plan was  frozen
effective December 31,  1990.  Accordingly, no  additional participants may
join the plan and no additional benefits have been accrued for participants
subsequent to December 31, 1990.  The Company's policy is to  fund the plan
based on the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act  of 1974 and tax  considerations.  The Company  has recorded a
plan termination liability,  net of plan assets, of $4.5  million, which is
included in Other Liabilities at December 31, 1995.   Management intends to
terminate the plan when it is in the best financial interest of the Company




by purchasing annuities or  otherwise providing for participants  under the
plan.    Net  periodic   pension  expense  for  all  years   presented  was
insignificant.   The Company does not expect to incur any future charges or
additional  liabilities  in   connection  with  the   plan  prior  to   its
termination.

  EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

    Under  the terms  of the  Company's employee  stock purchase  plan (the
"Stock Purchase Plan"), eligible  employees could acquire shares  of common
stock through payroll deductions of not  more than 10% of their base annual
compensation.   The price at  which shares  were purchased was  85% of  the
lower of the fair market value for such shares  on the first or last day of
each plan year.  The Stock  Purchase Plan was terminated effective June 30,
1993.  For  the 1993 plan  year, 4,585 shares (18,340  shares prior to  the
reverse stock split) were sold at $3.84 per share ($.96 per share prior  to
the reverse stock split). 

10.  CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
     ---------------------------------------------------

    Effective January  1,  1993,  Penrod  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting Standards No.  106 ("SFAS No. 106"),  "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement  Benefits Other Than Pensions."   SFAS No.  106 requires the
accrual, during the year the employee renders the service, of the estimated
cost of  providing postretirement non-pension  benefit payments.   SFAS No.
106 allows  recognition of the  cumulative effect  of the liability  in the
year of adoption or the amortization of the  obligation over a period of up
to twenty years.  Penrod elected  to recognize this change in accounting on
the  immediate recognition basis.   The cumulative effect,  after taxes and
minority  interest, on the Company resulting from Penrod's adoption of SFAS
No. 106  was $2.5 million ($.07  per share after the  reverse stock split).
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company's medical plan was amended such that
eligible  Penrod retirees and eligible future retirees of the Company could
participate in the Company's  medical plan.  Retirees participating  in the
Company's medical  plan make contributions to  the plan at a  level that is
intended to fund  the cost of  all retiree medical  claims.  The  Company's
current  and  contemplated  employee  benefit  plans  do  not  require  the
recognition of a liability for postretirement benefits under SFAS No. 106.

11.  INCOME TAXES
     ------------

    The Company had income of $33.2 million, $26.8 million and $8.2 million
from its  operations before income taxes in the United States and income of
$14.1  million, $13.5 million, and $20.2 million from its operations before
income  taxes in foreign countries  for the years  ended December 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively.

/TABLE





    The  valuation allowance decreased by  $38.0 million in  1995, of which
$13.3 million  was recorded  as  an adjustment  to goodwill,  and by  $13.7
million  in 1994, of  which $1.6 million  was recorded as  an adjustment to
goodwill, due to the expected utilization of net operating losses that were
previously projected  to expire unutilized.   As of December 31,  1995, the
Company  expects to realize  the full benefit  of all of  the net operating
loss  carryforwards   of  Penrod  that  originated  prior   to  the  Penrod
Acquisition.   Any future adjustments to the valuation allowance related to
the  projected utilization  or  nonutilization of  the  net operating  loss
carryforwards of Penrod  that originated  prior to  the Penrod  Acquisition
will be allocated to goodwill.  

    The consolidated effective income tax rate for the years ended December
31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 differs from the United States statutory income tax
rate as follows:

                                                1995     1994     1993

    Effective income tax rate . . . . . . .      7.2%     9.3%    21.0%

    At December 31, 1995,  the Company had regular and  alternative minimum
tax net  operating loss carryforwards  of approximately $236.0  million and
$166.2  million, respectively, and  investment tax  credit and  minimum tax
credit  carryforwards of $2.7 million  and $1.5 million,  respectively.  If
not  utilized, the regular and  alternative minimum tax  net operating loss
carryforwards  expire from 1999 through 2007, and the investment tax credit
carryforwards  expire from  1996  through 2000.    The minimum  tax  credit
carryforwards do  not expire.  As  a result of the  Penrod Acquisition, the
utilization  of a portion of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards
are subject  to limitations imposed  by the Internal Revenue  Code of 1986.
However,  the Company does  not expect such  limitations to have  an effect
upon its ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards.

    It is  the policy of the  Company to consider that  income generated in
foreign subsidiaries is permanently invested.  A significant portion of the
Company's  undistributed  foreign  earnings  at  December  31,  1995   were
generated  by   controlled  foreign  corporations.     A  portion   of  the
undistributed  foreign earnings were taxed,  for U.S. tax  purposes, in the
year that  such earnings arose.   Upon distribution of foreign  earnings in
the  form  of  dividends  or  otherwise,  the Company  may  be  subject  to
additional  U.S.  income taxes.   However,  deferred  taxes related  to the
future remittance of these funds are not expected to be  significant to the
financial statements of the Company.




12.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
     -----------------------------

    Prior to October  1990, Penrod was self-insured for the majority of its
maritime  claims exposure.   During  the period  from October  1990 to  the
August 1993 acquisition date, Penrod  had insurance coverage which  limited
its maritime  claims exposure to  a maximum of  the $25,000  deductible for
each claim, plus a fluctuating aggregate of $500,000 to $1.5 million  which
is in excess of the  $25,000 claim deductible for each policy  year. Penrod
is also  a defendant  in  lawsuits with  certain of  its  insurers and  the
administrator of  its  self-insurance  program,  and  personal  injury  and
maritime  liability  lawsuits  filed  by  present  and  former   employees.
Management of  the Company  has  provided reserves  for such  claims as  it
considers appropriate given the facts currently known.

    On February  13, 1991,  Penrod  filed an  action against  TransAmerican
Natural Gas Corporation ("TransAmerican") which is presently pending in the
U.S. District Court  Southern District of Texas,  Houston Division, seeking
damages for breach of contract.  On August 21, 1991, TransAmerican filed an
action  against Penrod in the 133rd Judicial District Court, Harris County,
Texas, seeking damages for  breach of contract and tort claims.  Management
of  the Company  believes  that  the outcome  of  this  litigation will  be
favorable to the Company.

    At December 31,  1995, there  were no other  contingencies, claims,  or
lawsuits against the  Company which,  in the opinion  of management,  would
have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

    In mid-January  1996, one of  the Company's jackup rigs  located in the
U.S. Gulf of Mexico experienced damage as it was preparing to  jack up on a
new location.   The jackup  rig was  mobilized to  a shipyard  where it  is
currently undergoing repairs and  is expected to be  available for work  in
mid-1996.   The Company is  fully insured  for damage to,  loss of,  and/or
salvage operations related to the  jackup rig and the Company expects  that
all such costs incurred will be recoverable from its insurance coverage.  

13.  SEGMENT INFORMATION
     -------------------

    Contract drilling and marine transportation are the Company's operating
segments.  The  Company's contract drilling segment  is currently comprised
of 24  offshore jackup rigs,  of which 18 are  located in the  U.S. Gulf of
Mexico and  six in the  North Sea, and  10 barge  drilling rigs located  in
Venezuela.   The marine  transportation segment  currently  consists of  37
vessels,  all  of  which are  located  in the  U.S.  Gulf of  Mexico.   The
Company's  operations  are integral  to  the  exploration, development  and
production  of oil  and gas.    Business levels  for the  Company, and  its
corresponding operating  results, are  significantly affected  by worldwide
expenditures for  oil and gas  drilling, particularly  in the U.S.  Gulf of
Mexico where the Company has a large concentration of its rigs and vessels.
Expenditures  for oil and gas  drilling activity fluctuate  based upon many
factors, including world  economic conditions, the legislative  environment
in  the U.S.  and  other  major  countries,  production  levels  and  other
activities of  OPEC and other  oil and  gas producers and  the impact  that
these  and other events have on the  current and expected future pricing of
oil and natural gas.

     FAIR VALUE OF  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS.    The  following disclosure  of
the estimated fair  value of  financial instruments is  made in  accordance
with the requirements  of Statement of  Financial Accounting Standards  No.
107,  "Disclosures  about  Fair  Value  of  Financial  Instruments."    The
estimated fair value  amounts have  been determined by  the Company,  using
available  market  information  and  appropriate  valuation  methodologies.
However, considerable  judgement is required in interpreting market data to
develop  the estimates of fair value.  Accordingly, the estimates presented
herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could
realize  in  a  current market  exchange.    The  use of  different  market
assumptions and/or estimation  methodologies may have a material  effect on
the estimated fair value amounts.   The carrying amounts and estimated fair
values at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows (in thousands):

The estimated fair values were determined as follows:

SHORT-TERM  INVESTMENTS   ---  The  estimated  fair   value  of  short-term
investments  is based  on  current interest  rates  for   investments  with
similar characteristics.

LONG-TERM  DEBT  --- Interest  rates that  are  currently available  to the
Company  for issuance of debt  with similar terms  and remaining maturities
are used to estimate fair value for debt issues. 

OTHER  LIABILITIES ---  The estimated  fair value  of other  liabilities is
determined by discounting the expected future cash outflows relating to the
other liabilities using long-term borrowing rates available to the Company.

INTEREST RATE SWAPS --- The estimated fair value of interest  rate swaps is
based on  the difference in the  present value of the  floating rate future
receipts and fixed rate future payments.

16.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
     -----------------------

    TECHNICAL SERVICES OPERATIONS

    Effective September 30, 1995, the Company exited the technical services
business through the sale of substantially  all of the assets of its wholly
owned subsidiary, ENSCO Technology  Company.  The sales price  consisted of
$11.8 million in cash,  a promissory note for  $3.6 million, a  convertible
promissory note  for $2.5  million and  the assumption  of $1.9  million of
liabilities.   The promissory note and the convertible promissory note bear
interest  at prime and are repayable in equal annual principal installments
over  a  five  year period.    Interest  on  the  promissory note  and  the
convertible  promissory  note  is  payable  quarterly.    The   convertible
promissory note may be exchanged, at the option of the Company, into equity
of the purchaser.

    As a result  of the sale, the Company's  financial statements have been
reclassified  to  present  the net  assets  and  operating  results of  the
Company's   technical  services  operations   segment  as   a  discontinued
operation.  Prior years have been reclassified for comparative purposes.  




Included  in the 1995 Income from Discontinued  Operations is a gain on the
sale discussed above  of $5.2 million  and income from  operations for  the
nine months  ended September 30, 1995  of $1.1 million.   Revenues from the
technical  services operations were $13.4  million, $16.5 million and $18.8
million in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  

    SUPPLY OPERATIONS

    In 1993, the Company  completed a series of transactions  that resulted
in the sale of substantially all of the Company's supply business conducted
by its wholly owned subsidiary ENSCO  Tool and Supply Company.  The Company
sold substantially all of  the assets of the international  supply, tubular
services and engineered  products business lines  of its supply  operations
segment on July 1, 1993.  The sales price consisted of $1.0 million in cash
and approximately $3.9 million in notes issued by the purchaser.  The notes
were  repaid  in  full  in  December  1993.    In  a  separate  transaction
consummated June  30, 1993, the Company  sold all of the  shares of capital
stock  of Petroil Services Corporation,  ENSCO Tool and  Supply (Peru) S.A.
and the Egyptian American  Technical Services Company owned by  the Company
for $5.0 million in cash.  Additionally, substantially all of the Company's
remaining  supply operations  segment  real estate  was  sold in  1993  for
approximately $2.4 million in cash, net of sales costs.

    As   a result of these transactions, the Company's financial statements
have been reclassified to  present the net assets and  operating results of
the  Company's supply  operations  segment as    a discontinued  operation.
Included in the 1993 Income  from Discontinued Operations is a gain  on the
sales discussed above of  $2.1 million (which includes a provision  of $1.3
million for  operations during the  phase out  period which  began July  1,
1993) and income from operations  for the six months ended June 30, 1993 of
$200,000. Revenues from the supply operations segment were $22.2 million in
1993.  Substantially  all of  the remaining assets  and liabilities of  the
supply business were sold, liquidated or settled in 1994.

17.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT
     ----------------

    On January 25,  1996, the Company entered into a  letter of intent with
DUAL  DRILLING COMPANY ("Dual") under which the Company would acquire Dual,
subject  to certain  conditions.   Dual  operates  a fleet  of 20  offshore
drilling  rigs, including  10 jackup  rigs and  10 self-contained  platform
rigs.  Twelve  of Dual's rigs are located  in the U.S., with three   jackup
rigs  and seven platform rigs currently located  in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico
and  two platform rigs off the  coast of California.   The remainder of the
fleet  operates  in  international  waters,  with  rigs  currently  located
offshore  India,  Mexico, Qatar,  Indonesia and  China. Under  the proposed

    The first and second quarter results for 1995 and also the 1994 results
for  all  periods  were reclassified  to  reflect  the  accounting for  the
technical  services operation as a  discontinued operation.   The effect of
this change had  no impact  upon net  income, income  applicable to  common
stock or income per common share.  See Note 16 "Discontinued Operations."

  (b)  REPORTS ON FORM 8-K

       No Current Reports on  Form 8-K were filed by the Company during the
       fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 1995.

For the  purposes of complying with  the amendments to the  rules governing
Form S-8 (effective July 13, 1990) and Form S-3 under the Securities Act of
1933, the  undersigned  registrant  hereby  undertakes  as  follows,  which
undertaking   shall  be   incorporated  by   reference  into   registrant's
Registration Statements on  Form S-8 Nos. 33-40282  filed May 2,  1991, 33-
41294 filed  June 19, 1991,  33-35862 filed  July 13, 1990,  33-32447 filed
December  5, 1989  and 33-14714 filed  June 1,  1987 and Form  S-3 Nos. 33-
64642, 33-49590  filed July 13, 1992  (as amended by Amendment  No. 1 filed
July 31, 1992), 33-46500 filed March  18, 1992 (as amended by Amendment No.

1991  (as amended  by  Amendment No.  1 and  2 filed  October 29,  1991 and

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may  be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the  registrant pursuant  to the  foregoing provisions,  or  otherwise, the
registrant  has  been advised  that in  the opinion  of the  Securities and
Exchange Commission  such  indemnification  is  against  public  policy  as
expressed in the Securities  Act of 1933 and is,  therefore, unenforceable.
In  the event  that a  claim for  indemnification against  such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense  of any action,  suit or proceeding) is  asserted by such director,
officer  or  controlling  person in  connection  with  the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless  in the opinion of its counsel  the
matter  has been  settled by controlling  precedent, submit  to a  court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public  policy as expressed in the Act  and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to  the requirements  of Section  13  or 15(d)  of the  Securities
