                                     PART I

ITEM  1.     BUSINESS

     Transocean  Inc. (formerly known as "Transocean Sedco Forex Inc.", together
with  its  subsidiaries and predecessors, unless the context requires otherwise,
the "Company," "Transocean,"  "we,"  "us"  or  "our") is a leading international
provider  of  offshore  and inland marine contract drilling services for oil and
gas wells.  As of March 1, 2003, we owned, had partial ownership interests in or
operated 158 mobile offshore and barge drilling units that we consider to be our
core  assets.  As  of  this  date,  our  core  assets  consisted  of  31
high-specification drillship and semisubmersibles (floaters), 29 other floaters,
55  jackup rigs, 35 drilling barges, five tenders and three submersible drilling
rigs.  In  addition,  the  fleet included non-core assets consisting of a mobile
offshore  production unit, two platform drilling rigs and a land rig, as well as
nine  land  rigs  and  three  lake  barges  in  Venezuela.

     Our mobile offshore drilling fleet is considered one of the most modern and
versatile  fleets  in  the  world.  Our  primary  business  is to contract these
drilling  rigs, related equipment and work crews primarily on a dayrate basis to
drill oil and gas wells.  We specialize in technically demanding segments of the
offshore  drilling  business  with  a  particular  focus  on deepwater and harsh
environment  drilling  services.  We also provide additional services, including
management  of  third-party  well  service  activities.  Our ordinary shares are
listed  on  the  New  York  Stock  Exchange  under  the  symbol  "RIG".

     Transocean  Inc.  is  a  Cayman  Islands  exempted  company  with principal
executive offices in the U.S. located at 4 Greenway Plaza, Houston, Texas 77046.
Our  telephone  number  at  that  address  is  (713)  232-7500.

BACKGROUND  OF  TRANSOCEAN

     In  June  1993,  the Company, then known as "Sonat Offshore Drilling Inc.,"
completed  an  initial  public  offering  of  approximately  60  percent  of the
outstanding  shares  of  its  common  stock as part of its separation from Sonat
Inc.,  and in July 1995 Sonat Inc. sold its remaining 40 percent interest in the
Company  through  a  secondary  public offering.  In September 1996, the Company
acquired  Transocean ASA, a Norwegian offshore drilling company, and changed its
name  to  "Transocean  Offshore  Inc."  On May 14, 1999, the Company completed a
corporate  reorganization  by  which  it changed its place of incorporation from
Delaware  to  the  Cayman  Islands.

     On  December  31,  1999,  we completed our merger with Sedco Forex Holdings
Limited  ("Sedco  Forex"),  the  former  offshore  contract drilling business of
Schlumberger  Limited  ("Schlumberger").  Effective  upon the merger, we changed
our  name  to "Transocean Sedco Forex Inc."  The merger followed the spin-off of
Sedco Forex to Schlumberger shareholders on December 30, 1999.  We accounted for
the  merger  using the purchase method of accounting with Sedco Forex treated as
the accounting acquiror.  On January 31, 2001, we completed a merger transaction
(the  "R&B  Falcon merger") with R&B Falcon Corporation ("R&B Falcon", now known
as "TODCO"). We accounted for the R&B Falcon merger using the purchase method of
accounting with the Company treated as the acquiror. In May 2002, we changed our
name  to  "Transocean  Inc."

DRILLING  FLEET

     We principally use four types of drilling rigs:

     -    drillships

     -    semisubmersibles

     -    jackups

     -    barge drilling rigs

     Also included in our fleet are tenders, submersible rigs, a mobile offshore
production  unit,  platform  drilling  rigs, land drilling rigs and lake barges.


                                      -3-

     Most  of  our  drilling  equipment  is  suitable  for  both exploration and
development  drilling,  and  we  are  normally engaged in both types of drilling
activity.  Likewise,  most  of  our drilling rigs are mobile and can be moved to
new  locations  in  response  to  client  demand,  particularly  the drillships,
semisubmersibles,  jackups  and  tenders.  All  of  our mobile offshore drilling
units  are  designed  for operations away from port for extended periods of time
and  most  have  living  quarters  for  the crews, a helicopter landing deck and
storage  space  for  pipe  and  drilling  supplies.

     As of February 28, 2003, our marine fleet of 158 core assets was located in
the  U.S.  Gulf  of  Mexico  (75  units),  Canada (one unit), Brazil (11 units),
Trinidad  (two  units),  the  North Sea (17 units), the Mediterranean and Middle
East  (eight  units),  the Caspian Sea (one unit), Africa (21 units), India (six
units)  and  Asia  and  Australia  (16  units).

     Our  operations are separated into two business segments. The International
and  U.S. Floater Contract Drilling Services segment is comprised of drillships,
semisubmersibles  and  non-U.S.  jackups  and  barge  drilling rigs. Our Gulf of
Mexico  Shallow  and  Inland  Water  segment consists of jackups and submersible
drilling  rigs  located  in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and Trinidad and U.S. inland
drilling  barges,  as  well  as  land  drilling units and lake barges located in
Venezuela.

INTERNATIONAL AND U.S. FLOATER CONTRACT DRILLING SERVICES FLEET

     As  of  February  28,  2003,  our  International  and U.S. Floater Contract
Drilling Services segment fleet consisted of 14 drillships, 46 semisubmersibles,
26  jackups,  four  drilling  barges,  five  tenders, a platform drilling rig, a
mobile  offshore  production  unit  and  a  land  rig.

     DRILLSHIPS  (14)

     Drillships  are  generally  self-propelled  and  designed  to  drill in the
deepest  water  in  which offshore drilling rigs currently operate.  Shaped like
conventional  ships,  they  are  the  most  mobile  of  the major rig types. Our
drillships  are  either  dynamically  positioned,  which allows them to maintain
position  without  anchors  through  the  use  of  their  onboard propulsion and
station-keeping  systems, or are operated in a moored configuration.  Drillships
typically  have  greater  load capacity than semisubmersible rigs.  This enables
them  to  carry more supplies on board, which often makes them better suited for
drilling  in  remote  locations  where  resupply  is  more  difficult.  However,
drillships  are typically limited to calmer water conditions than those in which
semisubmersibles  can operate.  High-specification drillships are those that are
dynamically  positioned and rated for drilling in water depths of at least 7,000
feet  and  are designed for ultra-deepwater exploration and development drilling
programs.  Our  three  Discoverer  Enterprise-class  drillships are equipped for
dual-activity  drilling,  which  is  a well-construction technology we developed
that  allows for drilling tasks associated with a single well to be accomplished
in  a  parallel rather than sequential manner by utilizing two complete drilling
systems  under a single derrick.  The dual-activity well-construction process is
designed  to  reduce  critical  path  activity  and  improve  efficiency in both
exploration  and  development  drilling. Our Deepwater-class drillships are also
high-specification  drillships and are designed with a high-pressure mud system.

          The  following  table  provides  certain  information  regarding  our
drillship fleet as of February 28, 2003:

     SEMISUBMERSIBLES  (46)

     Semisubmersibles  are  floating vessels that can be submerged by means of a
water  ballast system such that a substantial portion of the lower hull is below
the  water  surface  during  drilling  operations.  These  rigs  maintain  their
position  over  the  well  through  the  use  of an anchoring system or computer
controlled  dynamic  positioning thruster system.  Some semisubmersible rigs are
self-propelled  and  move between locations under their own power when afloat on
the  pontoons  although  most  are  relocated  with  the  assistance  of  tugs.
Typically,  semisubmersibles  are  better  suited  for operations in rough water
conditions  than drillships.  High-specification semisubmersibles are those that
were  built  or  extensively  upgraded  since  1984  and have one or more of the
following  characteristics:  larger  physical  size than other semisubmersibles;
rated  for  drilling  in  water  depths  of  over  4,000  feet; year-round harsh
environment  capability;  variable  deck  load  capability of greater than 4,000
metric  tons;  dynamic  positioning;  and  superior  motion  characteristics.

semisubmersible  fleet  as  of  February  28,  2003:

(b)     Expiration dates represent our current estimate of the earliest date the contract for each rig is likely
        to  expire.  Some  rigs have two or more contracts in continuation, so the last line shows the estimated
        earliest  availability.  Some  contracts  may  permit  the  client  to  extend  the  contract.
(c)     Dynamically  positioned.
(d)     The  Deepwater Nautilus is leased from its owner, an unrelated third party, pursuant to a fully defeased
        lease  arrangement.
(e)     The  M. G. Hulme, Jr. is accounted for as an operating lease as a result of a sale/leaseback transaction
        in  November  1995.


     JACKUP  RIGS  (26)

     Jackup rigs are mobile self-elevating drilling platforms equipped with legs
that  can  be  lowered  to  the ocean floor until a foundation is established to
support  the  drilling platform.  Once a foundation is established, the drilling
platform  is  then  jacked further up the legs so that the platform is above the
highest  expected waves. These rigs are generally suited for water depths of 300
feet  or  less.

     The  following  table provides certain information regarding our jackup rig
fleet  in  this  segment  as  of  February  28,  2003:

     BARGE  DRILLING  RIGS  (4)

     Our  barge  drilling fleet in this segment consists of swamp barges.  Swamp
barges are usually not self-propelled but can be moored alongside a platform and
contain  crew  quarters,  mud  pits,  mud  pumps,  power  generation  and  other
equipment.  Swamp  barges  are  generally  suited for water depths of 25 feet or
less.

     OTHER  RIGS

     In  addition  to  the  drillships,  semisubmersibles,  jackups and drilling
barges,  we  also  own  or  operate several other types of rigs in this segment.
These  rigs  include  five  tenders,  a platform drilling rig, a mobile offshore
production  unit  and  a  land  rig.

     Some  of our idle rigs would require additional costs to return to service.
The  actual  cost,  which  could  fluctuate over time, is dependent upon various
factors,  including  the  availability  and cost of shipyard facilities, cost of
equipment  and  materials  and  the  extent  of repairs and maintenance that may
ultimately  be required. We would take these factors into consideration together
with  market  conditions,  length of contract and the dayrate and other contract
terms  in  deciding  whether  to  return  a  particular  idle  rig  to  service.

GULF OF MEXICO SHALLOW AND INLAND WATER FLEET

     As  of  February  28,  2003,  our  Gulf  of Mexico Shallow and Inland Water
segment  fleet  consisted  of  29 jackups, 31 drilling barges, three submersible
rigs  and  a  platform  drilling  rig,  as well as nine land rigs and three lake
barges.

     BARGE  DRILLING  RIGS  (31)

     Our  barge  drilling  fleet  in  this  segment consists of conventional and
posted  barge  rigs.  Our conventional and posted barge drilling rigs are mobile
drilling  platforms  that  are  submersible and are built to work in eight to 20
feet  of water.  A posted barge is identical to a conventional barge except that
the  hull  and  superstructure  are  separated  by  10 to 14 foot columns, which
increases  the  water  depth  capabilities  of  the  rig.

     The  following  table  provides  certain  information  regarding  our barge
drilling  rig  fleet  in  this  segment  as  of  February  28,  2003:

(a)     These  rigs  are not owned by us but are bareboat chartered from a third
        party.  Each  charter  expires  in  February  2006.


     OTHER RIGS

     In  addition  to  the  jackups  and drilling barges, we also own or operate
several  other  types  of  rigs  in  this  segment.  These  rigs  include  three
submersible  rigs  and a platform drilling rig.  We also have nine land rigs and
three  lake  barges  in  Venezuela.

     Some  of our idle rigs would require additional costs to return to service.
The  actual  cost,  which  could  fluctuate over time, is dependent upon various
factors,  including  the  availability  and cost of shipyard facilities, cost of
equipment  and  materials  and  the  extent  of repairs and maintenance that may
ultimately  be required. We would take these factors into consideration together
with  market  conditions,  length of contract and the dayrate and other contract
terms  in  deciding  whether  to  return  a  particular  idle  rig  to  service.

MARKETS

     Our  operations are geographically dispersed in oil and gas exploration and
development  areas  throughout  the world.  Rigs can be moved from one region to
another, but the cost of moving a rig and the availability of rig-moving vessels
may  cause  the  supply  and  demand  balance  to vary somewhat between regions.
However,  significant  variations between regions do not tend to exist long-term
because  of  rig  mobility.  Because our drilling rigs are mobile assets and are
able  to  be  moved according to prevailing market conditions, we cannot predict
the  percentage  of our revenues that will be derived from particular geographic
or  political  areas  in  future  periods.

     In  recent  years,  there  has  been increased emphasis by oil companies on
exploring  for  hydrocarbons  in  deeper  waters.  This  is, in part, because of
technological  developments  that  have  made such exploration more feasible and
cost-effective.  The deepwater and mid-depth market segments are serviced by our
semisubmersibles  and drillships.  While the use of the term "deepwater" as used
in  the  drilling industry to denote a particular segment of the market can vary
and  continues  to evolve with technological improvements, we generally view the
deepwater  market  segment as that which begins in water depths of approximately
3,000  feet and extends to the maximum water depths in which rigs are capable of
drilling,  which  is  currently approximately 10,000 feet.  The mid-depth market
segment  begins in water depths of about 300 feet and extends to water depths of
about  3,000  feet.

     The  global  shallow  water  market  segment  is  serviced  by our jackups,
submersibles  and  drilling  tenders.  This  market  segment begins at the outer
limit  of the transition zone and extends to water depths of about 300 feet.  It
has  been  developed to a significantly greater degree than the deepwater market
segment, as technology required to explore for and produce hydrocarbons in these
water  depths  is  not  as  demanding  as  in  the deepwater market segment and,
accordingly,  the  costs  are  lower.

     Our  barge rig fleet operates in marshes, rivers, lakes and shallow bay and
coastal water areas that are referred to as the "transition zone." Our principal
barge  market  segment  is  the  shallow water areas of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
This  area  historically  has  been the world's largest market segment for barge
rigs.  International  market segments for our barge rigs include West Africa and
Southeast  Asia.

     We conduct land rig operations in Venezuela.

MANAGEMENT  SERVICES

     We  use  our  engineering  and operating expertise to provide management of
third  party  drilling  service  activities. These services are provided through
service  teams  generally  consisting  of  our  personnel  and  third-party
subcontractors  and


                                      -10-

we  frequently  serve  as  lead  contractor.  The  work  generally  consists  of
individual  contractual  agreements  to  meet  specific  client needs and may be
provided  on  either  a  dayrate  or  fixed price basis. As of March 1, 2003, we
performed such services only in the North Sea. These management service revenues
did  not  represent  a  material  portion  of  our  revenues  during  2002.

DRILLING  CONTRACTS

     Our  contracts  to  provide  offshore  drilling  services  are individually
negotiated  and  vary  in  their  terms  and  provisions.  We obtain most of our
contracts  through  competitive  bidding  against  other  contractors.  Drilling
contracts  generally  provide  for payment on a dayrate basis, with higher rates
while the drilling unit is operating and lower rates for periods of mobilization
or  when  drilling  operations  are  interrupted  or  restricted  by  equipment
breakdowns,  adverse  environmental  conditions  or  other conditions beyond our
control.

     A  dayrate  drilling  contract  generally  extends  over  a  period of time
covering  either  the  drilling of a single well or group of wells or covering a
stated  term.  These  contracts  typically can be terminated by the client under
various  circumstances  such  as the loss or destruction of the drilling unit or
the suspension of drilling operations for a specified period of time as a result
of  a  breakdown  of major equipment. The contract term in some instances may be
extended  by  the client exercising options for the drilling of additional wells
or  for  an  additional  term,  or  by  exercising  a right of first refusal. In
reaction  to  depressed market conditions, our clients may seek renegotiation of
firm  drilling  contracts  to reduce their obligations or may seek to suspend or
terminate  their  contracts.  Some  drilling  contracts  permit  the customer to
terminate  the  contract  at  the customer's option without paying a termination
fee.  Suspension  of  drilling  contracts results in loss of the dayrate for the
period  of  the  suspension.  If  our  customers  cancel some of our significant
contracts  and  we  are  unable to secure new contracts on substantially similar
terms,  or  if  contracts are suspended for an extended period of time, it could
adversely  affect  our  results  of  operations.

SIGNIFICANT  CLIENTS

     During  the  past five years, we have engaged in offshore drilling for most
of  the  leading international oil companies (or their affiliates) in the world,
as  well  as for many government-controlled and independent oil companies. Major
clients  included  BP,  Shell,  Petrobras,  ChevronTexaco,  TotalFinaElf,  AGIP,
Unocal, Amerada Hess and Statoil.  Our largest unaffiliated clients in 2002 were
BP  and Shell accounting for 14.1 percent and 11.6 percent, respectively, of our
2002  operating  revenues. No other unaffiliated client accounted for 10 percent
or  more  of  our  2002  operating  revenues  (see  Note  20 to our consolidated
financial  statements).  The  loss of any of these significant clients could, at
least  in  the  short  term,  have  a  material adverse effect on our results of
operations.

REGULATION

     Our  operations  are  affected  from  time  to  time  in varying degrees by
governmental  laws and regulations. The drilling industry is dependent on demand
for  services  from  the  oil  and gas exploration industry and, accordingly, is
affected  by  changing  tax  and  other  laws  generally  relating to the energy
business.

     International  contract drilling operations are subject to various laws and
regulations  in  countries  in  which we operate, including laws and regulations
relating  to the equipping and operation of drilling units, currency conversions
and  repatriation, oil and gas exploration and development, taxation of offshore
earnings  and  earnings  of  expatriate personnel and use of local employees and
suppliers  by  foreign  contractors.  Governments  in some foreign countries are
active  in regulating and controlling the ownership of concessions and companies
holding concessions, the exportation of oil and gas and other aspects of the oil
and gas industries in their countries. In addition, government action, including
initiatives  by  the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC"), may
continue  to  cause  oil  price  volatility.  In  some  areas of the world, this
governmental  activity  has  adversely  affected  the  amount of exploration and
development  work  done  by  major  oil  companies  and  may  continue to do so.

     In  the  U.S.,  regulations  applicable  to  our operations include certain
regulations  controlling  the  discharge  of  materials  into  the  environment,
requiring  removal  and  cleanup  of  materials that may harm the environment or
otherwise  relating  to  the  protection  of  the  environment.

     The U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990 ("OPA") and related regulations impose a
variety  of  requirements  on "responsible parties" related to the prevention of
oil  spills  and liability for damages resulting from such spills.  Few defenses
exist  to the liability imposed by OPA, and such liability could be substantial.
Failure to comply with ongoing requirements or inadequate cooperation in a spill
event could subject a responsible party to civil or criminal enforcement action.


                                      -11-

     The  U.S. Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act authorizes regulations relating
to  safety  and  environmental  protection  applicable to lessees and permittees
operating  on  the  Outer  Continental  Shelf.  Specific  design and operational
standards  may  apply  to  Outer  Continental  Shelf  vessels,  rigs, platforms,
vehicles and structures. Violations of environmental related lease conditions or
regulations  issued pursuant to the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act can result
in  substantial  civil  and  criminal  penalties,  as  well  as  potential court
injunctions  curtailing  operations  and  canceling  leases.  Such  enforcement
liabilities  can  result  from  either  governmental  or  citizen  prosecution.

     The  Comprehensive  Environmental  Response  Compensation and Liability Act
("CERCLA"),  also known as the "Superfund" law, imposes liability without regard
to fault or the legality of the original conduct on some classes of persons that
are  considered  to  have  contributed to the release of a "hazardous substance"
into the environment.  These persons include the owner or operator of a facility
where  a  release  occurred  and  companies  that  disposed  or arranged for the
disposal  of  the  hazardous substances found at a particular site.  Persons who
are or were responsible for releases of hazardous substances under CERCLA may be
subject  to  joint  and  several  liability  for  the  costs  of cleaning up the
hazardous  substances  that  have  been  released  into  the environment and for
damages  to  natural  resources.  It  is  not uncommon for third parties to file
claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous
substances  released  into  the  environment.  We  could be subject to liability
under  CERCLA  principally  in  connection  with  our  onshore  activities.

     Certain  of  the other countries in whose waters we are presently operating
or  may operate in the future have regulations covering the discharge of oil and
other  contaminants  in  connection  with  drilling  operations.

     Although  significant  capital  expenditures may be required to comply with
these  governmental  laws  and  regulations,  such compliance has not materially
adversely  affected  our  earnings  or  competitive  position.

EMPLOYEES

     At  January  31,  2003,  we  had  approximately 13,200 employees, including
approximately  2,300  persons  contracted  through  contract labor providers. We
require  highly skilled personnel to operate our drilling units. As a result, we
conduct  extensive  personnel  recruiting,  training  and  safety  programs.

     On  January  31,  2003,  we  had  approximately 10 percent of our employees
worldwide  working  under  collective  bargaining  agreements, most of whom were
working  in Norway, U.K., Nigeria and Trinidad.  Of these represented employees,
a  majority  are working under agreements that are subject to salary negotiation
in  2003.  These ongoing negotiations could result in higher personnel expenses,
other  increased  costs  or  increased  operating  restrictions.

ITEM  2.     PROPERTIES

     The  description  of  our  property  included  under  "Item 1. Business" is
incorporated  by  reference  herein.

     We  maintain  offices, land bases and other facilities worldwide, including
our  principal  executive  offices  in  Houston,  Texas and regional operational
offices  in  the  U.S., Brazil, U.K., France, Dubai and Indonesia. Our remaining
offices  and  bases  are  located  in  various countries in North America, South
America, the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.  We lease most
of  these  facilities.

     We  acquired  our  oil  and gas business in the R&B Falcon merger described
under  "Item  1.  Business."  The  only  properties  of any significance to this
business  remaining  in  2002  were  interests  in  production sharing contracts
covering two concessions in Gabon.  We terminated our interest in one of the two
concessions in January 2003 and have also given notice to terminate our interest
in  the  second  concession.  We  incurred  a  non-cash  impairment  charge  of
approximately  $1  million  in  the  first  quarter  of  2003 as a result of the
termination  of  these  two  interests.


                                      -12-

ITEM  3.     LEGAL  PROCEEDINGS

     In  1990  and  1991,  two  of  our  subsidiaries  were  served with various
assessments  collectively  valued  at  approximately  $7  million  from  the
municipality  of  Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to collect a municipal tax on services.
We  believe  that  neither subsidiary is liable for the taxes and have contested
the  assessments  in  the Brazilian administrative and court systems. The Brazil
Supreme  Court  rejected  our  appeal  of  an  adverse lower court's ruling with
respect to a June 1991 assessment, which was valued at approximately $6 million.
We  plan  to challenge the assessment in a separate proceeding. We have received
adverse  rulings  at  various  levels  in connection with a disputed August 1990
assessment that is still pending before the Brazil Superior Court of Justice. We
also  are  awaiting  a  ruling from the Taxpayer's Council in connection with an
October 1990 assessment. If our defenses are ultimately unsuccessful, we believe
that  the  Brazilian  government-controlled  oil  company,  Petrobras,  has  a
contractual obligation to reimburse us for municipal tax payments required to be
paid  by  them.  We  do  not  expect the liability, if any, resulting from these
assessments  to  have  a material adverse effect on our business or consolidated
financial  position.

     The  Indian Customs Department, Mumbai, filed a "show cause notice" against
one  of  our subsidiaries and various third parties in July 1999. The show cause
notice  alleged  that  the initial entry into India in 1988 and other subsequent
movements  of  the  Trident II jackup rig operated by the subsidiary constituted
imports  and  exports  for which proper customs procedures were not followed and
sought  payment  of  customs  duties  of  approximately  $31 million based on an
alleged  1998  rig  value  of  $49  million,  with  interest  and penalties, and
confiscation  of  the  rig.  In  January 2000, the Customs Department issued its
order,  which  found  that  we had imported the rig improperly and intentionally
concealed  the  import from the authorities, and directed us to pay a redemption
fee  of  approximately $3 million for the rig in lieu of confiscation and to pay
penalties  of  approximately  $1  million  in  addition to the amount of customs
duties  owed.  In February 2000, we filed an appeal with the Customs, Excise and
Gold (Control) Appellate Tribunal ("CEGAT") together with an application to have
the  confiscation  of the rig stayed pending the outcome of the appeal. In March
2000,  the  CEGAT ruled on the stay application, directing that the confiscation
be  stayed  pending  the  appeal.  The CEGAT issued its opinion on our appeal on
February  2,  2001, and while it found that the rig was imported in 1988 without
proper documentation or payment of duties, the redemption fee and penalties were
reduced  to  less  than  $0.1  million  in view of the ambiguity surrounding the
import  practice  at the time and the lack of intentional concealment by us. The
CEGAT  further sustained our position regarding the value of the rig at the time
of import as $13 million and ruled that subsequent movements of the rig were not
liable  to  import documentation or duties in view of the prevailing practice of
the  Customs  Department,  thus  limiting  our  exposure  as to custom duties to
approximately  $6  million.  Following  the  CEGAT order, we tendered payment of
redemption,  penalty  and  duty  in  the amount specified by the order by offset
against  a  $0.6  million deposit and $10.7 million guarantee previously made by
us.  The Customs Department attempted to draw the entire guarantee, alleging the
actual  duty  payable is approximately $22 million based on an interpretation of
the  CEGAT  order  that  we  believe is incorrect. This action was stopped by an
interim  ruling  of  the High Court, Mumbai on writ petition filed by us. We and
the  Customs  Department  both  filed  appeals  with  the Supreme Court of India
against  the order of the CEGAT, and both appeals have been admitted. We applied
for an expedited hearing, which was denied. We and our customer agreed to pursue
and  obtained the issuance of documentation from the Ministry of Petroleum that,
if  accepted  by  the  Customs  Department,  would  reduce  the duty to nil. The
agreement  with  the  customer  further  provided that if this reduction was not
obtained  by  the  end of 2001, our customer would pay the duty up to a limit of
$7.7  million.  The Customs Department did not accept the documentation or agree
to  refund  the  duties  already  paid.  We  have  requested the refund from our
customer,  who  has  refused.  We  are pursuing our remedies against the Customs
Department  and  our customer. We do not expect, in any event, that the ultimate
liability, if any, resulting from the matter will have a material adverse effect
on  our  business  or  consolidated  financial  position.

     In  January  2000,  a pipeline in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico was damaged by an
anchor  from  one of our drilling rigs while the rig was under tow. The incident
resulted  in  damage to offshore facilities, including a crude oil pipeline, the
release  of  hydrocarbons  from  the  damaged  section  of  the pipeline and the
shutdown  of  the  pipeline  and  allegedly  affected  production platforms. All
appropriate governmental authorities were notified, and we cooperated fully with
the  operator  and  relevant  authorities in support of the remediation efforts.
Certain owners and operators of the pipeline (Poseidon Oil Pipeline Company LLC,
Equilon  Enterprises  LLC,  Poseidon  Pipeline  Company,  LLC  and  Marathon Oil
Company)  filed  suit  in  March  2000  in  federal  court,  Eastern District of
Louisiana,  alleging various damages in excess of $30 million. A second suit was
filed  by  Walter  Oil  & Gas Corporation and certain other plaintiffs in Harris
County,  Texas  alleging  various  damages  in  excess  of  $1.8 million, and we
obtained  a  summary  judgment  against Walter Oil & Gas Corporation and Amerada
Hess.  We  filed  a limitation of liability proceeding in federal court, Eastern
District of Louisiana, claiming benefit of various statutes providing limitation
of  liability  for  vessel owners, the result of which was to stay the first two
suits and to cause potential claimants (including the plaintiffs in the existing
suits)  to  file  claims  in  this  proceeding.  El Paso Energy Corporation, the
owner/operator  of  the  platform  from which a riser was allegedly damaged, and
Texaco  Exploration  and  Production  Inc.  filed  claims  in  the limitation of
liability  proceeding  as  well.  All  claims  arising out of the loss have been
settled  and  the  terms of the settlement have been reflected in our results of
operations  for the year ended December 31, 2002.  The settlement did not have a
material  adverse  effect  on  our  business or consolidated financial position.


                                      -13-

     In  November  1988,  a lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern  District  of  West Virginia against Reading & Bates Coal Co., a wholly
owned  subsidiary  of  R&B Falcon, by SCW Associates, Inc. claiming breach of an
alleged  agreement  to  purchase the stock of Belva Coal Company, a wholly owned
subsidiary  of  Reading  & Bates Coal Co. with coal properties in West Virginia.
When  those coal properties were sold in July 1989 as part of the disposition of
R&B Falcon's coal operations, the purchasing joint venture indemnified Reading &
Bates  Coal  Co.  and  R&B Falcon against any liability Reading & Bates Coal Co.
might  incur  as  a  result  of this litigation. A judgment for the plaintiff of
$32,000  entered in February 1991 was satisfied and Reading & Bates Coal Co. was
indemnified  by  the  purchasing  joint  venture.  On  October  31,  1990,  SCW
Associates, Inc., the plaintiff in the above-referenced action, filed a separate
ancillary action in the Circuit Court, Kanawha County, West Virginia against R&B
Falcon,  Caymen  Coal, Inc. (the former owner of R&B Falcon's West Virginia coal
properties),  as  well as the joint venture, Mr. William B. Sturgill (the former
President  of  Reading  &  Bates  Coal Co.) personally, three other companies in
which  we  believe  Mr.  Sturgill holds an equity interest, two employees of the
joint venture, First National Bank of Chicago and First Capital Corporation. The
lawsuit  sought  to  recover  compensatory  damages  of $50 million and punitive
damages  of  $50  million for alleged tortious interference with the contractual
rights  of  the  plaintiff and to impose a constructive trust on the proceeds of
the  use  and/or  sale  of  the  assets  of Caymen Coal, Inc. as they existed on
October  15,  1988. The lawsuit was settled in August 2002, and the terms of the
settlement  have  been reflected in our results of operations for the year ended
December  31, 2002. The settlement did not have a material adverse effect on our
business  or  consolidated  financial  position.

     In  March 1997, an action was filed by Mobil Exploration and Producing U.S.
Inc.  and  affiliates,  St.  Mary  Land & Exploration Company and affiliates and
Samuel  Geary  and  Associates,  Inc. against us, the underwriters and insurance
broker  in  the  16th Judicial District Court of St. Mary Parish, Louisiana. The
plaintiffs  alleged  damages amounting to in excess of $50 million in connection
with  the drilling of a turnkey well in 1995 and 1996. The case was tried before
a  jury  in  January  and  February  2000,  and  the  jury returned a verdict of
approximately  $30 million in favor of the plaintiffs for excess drilling costs,
loss  of insurance proceeds, loss of hydrocarbons and interest. We have appealed
such  judgment,  and  the  Louisiana Court of Appeals has reduced the amount for
which  we  may  be  responsible  to  less  than $10 million. The plaintiffs have
requested  that the Supreme Court of Louisiana consider the matter and reinstate
the  original  verdict.  We  believe that all but potentially the portion of the
verdict  representing  excess  drilling  costs  of approximately $4.7 million is
covered  by  relevant  primary and excess liability insurance policies. However,
the  insurers  and  underwriters  have  denied  coverage.  We  have  instituted
litigation  against  those insurers and underwriters to enforce our rights under
the  relevant  policies. We do not expect that the ultimate outcome of this case
will  have  a  material adverse effect on our business or consolidated financial
position.

     In  October  2001,  we  were  notified by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency ("EPA") that the EPA had identified a subsidiary of ours as a potentially
responsible  party  in  connection  with  the  Palmer  Barge Line superfund site
located  in  Port  Arthur,  Jefferson  County, Texas. Based upon the information
provided  by  the EPA and our review of our internal records to date, we dispute
our  designation  as  a potentially responsible party and do not expect that the
ultimate  outcome  of  this  case  will  have  a  material adverse effect on our
business  or  consolidated  financial  position.

     We  are involved in a number of other lawsuits, all of which have arisen in
the  ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that ultimate liability,
if  any,  resulting  from any such other pending litigation will have a material
adverse  effect  on  our  business or consolidated financial position. We cannot
predict  with  certainty  the outcome or effect of any of the litigation matters
specifically  described above or of any such other pending litigation. There can
be  no assurance that our beliefs or expectations as to the outcome or effect of
any  lawsuit  or  other  litigation  matter  will prove correct and the eventual
outcome  of  these  matters  could  materially  differ from management's current
estimates.

     On  February 28, 2003, the last reported sales price of our ordinary shares
on  the  NYSE  Composite  Tape  was  $22.70 per share.  On such date, there were
24,398  holders  of  record  of  the  Company's  ordinary shares and 319,764,712
ordinary  shares  outstanding.

     We  discontinued  the  payment  of a quarterly cash dividend, and the final
payment  of $0.03 per share was paid on June 13, 2002.  Prior to the elimination
of the cash dividend, we had paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.03 per ordinary
share  since  the  fourth quarter of 1993. Any future declaration and payment of
dividends  will  be  (i)  dependent  upon  our  results of operations, financial
condition,  cash  requirements  and  other relevant factors, (ii) subject to the
discretion of the Board of Directors, (iii) subject to restrictions contained in
our bank credit agreements and note purchase agreement and (iv) payable only out
of  our  profits or share premium account in accordance with Cayman Islands law.

     There  is currently no reciprocal tax treaty between the Cayman Islands and
the  United  States  regarding  withholding.

     We  are  a Cayman Islands exempted company. Our authorized share capital is
$13,000,000,  divided  into  800,000,000  ordinary  shares, par value $0.01, and
50,000,000  preference  shares,  par value $0.10, which shares may be designated
and  created  as  shares  of  any  other  classes  or  series of shares with the
respective  rights  and  restrictions  determined  by  action  of  our  board of
directors.  On  February 28, 2003, no preference shares were outstanding.

     The  holders  of  ordinary  shares are entitled to one vote per share other
than  on  the  election  of  directors.

     With  respect  to the election of directors, each holder of ordinary shares
entitled  to  vote at the election has the right to vote, in person or by proxy,
the  number  of shares held by him for as many persons as there are directors to
be elected and for whose election that holder has a right to vote. The directors
are  divided  into three classes, with only one class being up for election each
year.  Directors  are  elected by a plurality of the votes cast in the election.
Cumulative voting for the election of directors is prohibited by our articles of
association.

     There  are  no limitations imposed by Cayman Islands law or our articles of
association  on  the  right  of  nonresident  shareholders to hold or vote their
ordinary  shares.

     The  rights  attached  to  any  separate  class or series of shares, unless
otherwise  provided  by  the terms of the shares of that class or series, may be
varied  only  with  the  consent  in writing of the holders of all of the issued
shares  of  that class or series or by a special resolution passed at a separate
general  meeting of holders of the shares of that class or series. The necessary
quorum for that meeting is the presence of holders of at least a majority of the
shares  of  that  class  or series. Each holder of shares of the class or series
present,  in  person or by proxy, will have one vote for each share of the class
or series


                                      -17-

of which he is the holder. Outstanding shares will not be deemed to be varied by
the  creation or issuance of additional shares that rank in any respect prior to
or  equivalent  with  those  shares.

     Under  Cayman  Islands  law,  some matters, like altering the memorandum or
articles  of association, changing the name of a company, voluntarily winding up
a company or resolving to be registered by way of continuation in a jurisdiction
outside  the  Cayman  Islands,  require  approval  of  shareholders by a special
resolution.  A  special  resolution is a resolution (1) passed by the holders of
two-thirds  of  the shares voted at a general meeting or (2) approved in writing
by  all  shareholders  entitled  to  vote  at  a general meeting of the company.

     The  presence  of  shareholders,  in person or by proxy, holding at least a
majority  of  the  issued  shares  generally entitled to vote at a meeting, is a
quorum  for  the  transaction  of  most business. However, different quorums are
required  in  some  cases  to  approve  a change in our articles of association.

     Our board of directors is authorized, without obtaining any vote or consent
of the holders of any class or series of shares unless expressly provided by the
terms  of  issue  of  that class or series, to provide from time to time for the
issuance  of  classes  or  series  of  preference  shares  and  to establish the
characteristics  of  each  class  or  series,  including  the  number of shares,
designations,  relative  voting  rights,  dividend rights, liquidation and other
rights,  redemption, repurchase or exchange rights and any other preferences and
relative,  participating,  optional  or  other  rights  and  limitations  not
inconsistent  with  applicable  law.

     Our  articles of association contain provisions that could prevent or delay
an  acquisition  of  our  company  by  means of a tender offer, proxy contest or
otherwise.

     The foregoing description is a summary. This summary is not complete and is
subject  to the complete text of our memorandum and articles of association. For
more  information  regarding  our ordinary shares and our preference shares, see
our  Current  Report  on  Form  8-K  dated  May  14, 1999 and our memorandum and
articles of association. Our memorandum and articles of association are filed as
exhibits  to  this  Report.

ITEM  6.     SELECTED  CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL  DATA

     The  selected  consolidated financial data as of December 31, 2002 and 2001
and  for  each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002 has been
derived  from  the  audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere
herein.  The  selected consolidated financial data as of December 31, 2000, 1999
and  1998,  and  for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 has been derived
from  audited  consolidated  financial  statements  not  included  herein.  The
following  data  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  "Item  7. Management's
Discussion  and  Analysis  of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and
the  audited  consolidated  financial  statements and the notes thereto included
under  "Item  8.  Financial  Statements  and  Supplementary  Data."

     On January 31, 2001, we completed a merger transaction with R&B Falcon.  As
a  result  of the merger, R&B Falcon became our indirect wholly owned subsidiary
and  subsequently  changed  its name to TODCO. The merger was accounted for as a
purchase and we were treated as the accounting acquiror.  The balance sheet data
as  of  December  31, 2001 represents the consolidated financial position of the
combined  company.  The statement of operations and other financial data for the
year ended December 31, 2001 include eleven months of operating results and cash
flows  for  TODCO.

     On  December  31,  1999,  the  merger of Transocean Offshore Inc. and Sedco
Forex  was  completed.  Sedco  Forex  was the offshore contract drilling service
business  of  Schlumberger  and  was  spun-off  immediately  prior to the merger
transaction.  As  a  result  of  the  merger,  Sedco Forex became a wholly owned
subsidiary  of  Transocean  Offshore  Inc., which changed its name to Transocean
Sedco  Forex  Inc.  The  merger was accounted for as a purchase with Sedco Forex
treated  as  the accounting acquiror.  The balance sheet data as of December 31,
2000  and  1999 and the statement of operations and other financial data for the
year ended December 31, 2000 represent the consolidated financial position, cash
flows  and results of operations of the merged company.  The balance sheet data,
statement  of  operations  and other financial data for the periods prior to the
merger,  represent  the financial position, cash flows and results of operations
of Sedco Forex and not those of historical Transocean Offshore Inc.

(a)  Unaudited  pro forma earnings per share was calculated using the Transocean
     Inc.  ordinary  shares  issued pursuant to the Sedco Forex merger agreement
     and  the dilutive effect of Transocean Inc. stock options granted to former
     Sedco Forex employees at the time of the Sedco Forex merger, as applicable.
(b)  Adjusted  EBITDA  means  income  (loss) before minority interest, interest,
     taxes,  depreciation,  amortization,  impairment loss on long-lived assets,
     net  gain  (loss)  from  sale of assets, extraordinary items and cumulative
     effect  of  a  change in accounting principle. Adjusted EBITDA is presented
     here  because  it  is  an  indication  of our operating performance and our
     ability  to  incur and service debt and is commonly used by investors as an
     analytical  indicator  in  our industry. Adjusted EBITDA measures presented
     may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
     Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement presented in accordance with generally
     accepted  accounting  principles  ("GAAP"),  and  we do not intend Adjusted
     EBITDA  to  represent  cash  flows  from operations as defined by GAAP. You
     should  not  consider  Adjusted  EBITDA to be an alternative to net income,
     cash flows from operations or any other items calculated in accordance with
     GAAP  or  an  indicator of our operating performance. The following are the
     components  of  our  Adjusted  EBITDA  (in  millions):

ITEM  7.     MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
             RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

     The  following  information  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the
information  contained  in the audited consolidated financial statements and the
notes  thereto  included  under  "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data"  elsewhere  in  this  annual  report.

OVERVIEW

     Transocean  Inc. (formerly known as "Transocean Sedco Forex Inc.", together
with  its  subsidiaries and predecessors, unless the context requires otherwise,
the  "Company,"  "Transocean,"  "we,"  "us" or "our") is a leading international
provider  of  offshore  and inland marine contract drilling services for oil and
gas wells.  As of March 1, 2003, we owned, had partial ownership interests in or
operated 158 mobile offshore and barge drilling units that we consider to be our
core  assets.  As  of  this  date,  our  core  assets  consisted  of  31
high-specification  drillships  and  semisubmersibles  ("floaters"),  29  other
floaters, 55 jackup rigs, 35 drilling barges, five tenders and three submersible
drilling  rigs.  In addition, the fleet included non-core assets consisting of a
mobile  offshore  production unit, two platform drilling rigs and a land rig, as
well  as  nine  land  rigs  and  three lake barges in Venezuela. We contract our
drilling  rigs, related equipment and work crews primarily on a dayrate basis to
drill  oil  and  gas  wells.  We  also  provide  additional  services, including
management  of  third-party  well  service  activities.

     General  uncertainty  over  world  economic and political events translated
into  decreased  demand  for our rigs during the year. While the overall average
fleet dayrate increased from $66,000 in 2001 to $77,600 in 2002, utilization was
down  substantially  from 72% in 2001 to 61% in 2002. Revenues in 2002 were down
$146 million from 2001, but we also brought costs down by more than $100 million
by  responding  rapidly  to  reduce  costs  when rigs were idled. Our efforts to
reduce  costs  by  implementing  standardized  purchasing  through  negotiated
agreements,  nationalization  of  our labor force where appropriate and improved
operating performance on our newbuild high-specification rigs contributed to the
reduction  of  costs  year  over  year.  Our 2002 financial results included the
recognition of a number of non-cash charges pertaining substantially to goodwill
impairment.  We  generated significant cash during 2002 and brought our net debt
down  from  $4.2  billion  at the end of 2001 to $3.3 billion at the end of 2002
(see  "-Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources-Sources  of  Liquidity").

     On  January  31,  2001,  we completed a merger transaction (the "R&B Falcon
merger")  with R&B Falcon Corporation ("R&B Falcon"). At the time of the merger,
R&B  Falcon  owned,  had  partial  ownership interests in, operated or had under
construction  more  than  100  mobile  offshore  drilling  units and other units
utilized  in  the  support  of  offshore drilling activities. As a result of the
merger,  R&B Falcon became our indirect wholly owned subsidiary and subsequently
changed  its  name  to  TODCO. The merger was accounted for as a purchase and we
were  the accounting acquiror. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31,
2001 represents the consolidated financial position of the combined company. The
consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year ended December
31,  2001  include  eleven months of operating results and cash flows for TODCO.

     Prior  to  the R&B Falcon merger, we operated in one industry segment. As a
result  of  acquiring  shallow and inland water drilling units in the R&B Falcon
merger,  our  operations  have been aggregated into two reportable segments: (i)
International  and  U.S.  Floater  Contract  Drilling  Services and (ii) Gulf of
Mexico  Shallow  and  Inland  Water. The International and U.S. Floater Contract
Drilling  Services  segment  consists  of  high-specification  floaters,  other
floaters,  non-U.S.  jackups, other mobile offshore drilling units, other assets
used  in  support  of  offshore  drilling  activities and other offshore support
services.  The  Gulf  of  Mexico  Shallow  and  Inland Water segment consists of
jackups  and  submersible  drilling  rigs located in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and
Trinidad  and  U.S.  inland  drilling barges, as well as land drilling units and
lake  barges  located  in  Venezuela.

     Effective  January  1,  2002,  we changed the composition of our reportable
segments with the move of the responsibility for our Venezuela operations to the
Gulf  of  Mexico  Shallow  and  Inland  Water  segment.  Prior periods have been
restated  to  reflect  the  change.

     On  May  9,  2002,  we changed our name from Transocean Sedco Forex Inc. to
Transocean  Inc.

     On  May 9, 2002, our Board of Directors voted to discontinue the payment of
a cash dividend after the cash dividend payable on June 13, 2002 to shareholders
of  record  on  May  30,  2002.

     In  July  2002,  we  announced plans to pursue a divestiture of our Gulf of
Mexico  Shallow  and  Inland  Water  business. In December 2002, our subsidiary,
TODCO,  filed  a  registration  statement  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  ("SEC") relating to our previously announced initial public offering
of  our  Gulf of Mexico Shallow and Inland Water business. We expect to separate
this  business from Transocean and establish TODCO as a publicly traded company.


                                      -21-

We  are  proceeding to reorganize TODCO as the entity that owns that business in
preparation  of  the  offering.  We  plan  to  transfer  assets not used in this
business from TODCO to our other subsidiaries, and these internal transfers will
not  affect  the  consolidated  financial statements of Transocean. We expect to
complete  the initial public offering when market conditions warrant, subject to
various  factors.  Given  the current general uncertainty in the equity and U.S.
natural  gas  drilling  markets,  we  are  unsure  when the transaction could be
completed  on  terms  acceptable  to  us.  We  do  not expect to sell all of our
interest  in TODCO in the initial public offering. Until we complete the initial
public  offering  transaction, we will continue to operate and account for TODCO
as  our  Gulf  of  Mexico  Shallow  and  Inland  Water  segment.

CRITICAL  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  AND  ESTIMATES

     Our  discussion  and  analysis  of  our  financial condition and results of
operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles generally accepted in the
United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues  and  expenses  and  related  disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and
liabilities.  On  an  on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those
related to bad debts, materials and supplies obsolescence, investments, property
and  equipment,  intangible  assets  and  goodwill,  income  taxes,  financing
operations,  workers'  insurance,  pensions  and  other  post-retirement  and
employment  benefits  and  contingent  liabilities.  We  base  our  estimates on
historical  experience  and on various other assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable  under  the  circumstances,  the  results of which form the basis for
making  judgments  about  the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not  readily  apparent  from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates  under  different  assumptions  or  conditions.

     We  believe  the following are our most critical accounting policies. These
policies  require significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of
our  consolidated  financial  statements.

     Allowance for doubtful accounts-We establish reserves for doubtful accounts
on a case-by-case basis when we believe the required payment of specific amounts
owed  to  us  is  unlikely  to  occur.  We derive a majority of our revenue from
services  to  international  oil  companies  and  government-owned  or
government-controlled oil companies. Our receivables are concentrated in certain
oil-producing  countries.  We  generally  do  not  require  collateral  or other
security  to  support  customer  receivables.  If the financial condition of our
customers  was to deteriorate or their access to freely convertible currency was
restricted,  resulting  in  impairment  of  their  ability  to make the required
payments,  additional  allowances  may  be  required.

     Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets-We record a valuation allowance
to  reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to
be  realized. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent
and  feasible  tax  planning  strategies in assessing the need for the valuation
allowance,  should  we  determine  that we would more likely than not be able to
realize  our  deferred  tax  assets  in the future in excess of our net recorded
amount,  an  adjustment  to the valuation allowance would increase income in the
period  such determination was made. Likewise, should we determine that we would
more  likely  than  not be unable to realize all or part of our net deferred tax
asset  in  the  future,  an  adjustment  to the valuation allowance would reduce
income  in  the  period  such  determination  was  made.

     Goodwill  impairment-We  perform  a  test  for  impairment  of our goodwill
annually  as  of  October  1  as prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards  ("SFAS") 142, Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Because our business is
cyclical  in  nature, goodwill could be significantly impaired depending on when
the  assessment  is performed in the business cycle. Fair value of our reporting
units  is  based  on a blend of estimated discounted cash flows, publicly traded
company multiples and acquisition multiples. Estimated discounted cash flows are
based  on  projected utilization and dayrates. Publicly traded company multiples
and  acquisition  multiples  are  derived  from information on traded shares and
analysis  of recent acquisitions in the marketplace, respectively, for companies
with  operations  similar  to  ours. Changes in the assumptions used in the fair
value calculation could result in an estimated reporting unit fair value that is
below  the  carrying value, which may give rise to an impairment of goodwill. In
addition to the annual review, we also test for impairment should an event occur
or  circumstances  change  that  may indicate a reduction in the fair value of a
reporting  unit  below  its  carrying  value.

     Property  and  equipment-Our property and equipment represents more than 60
percent  of  our  total  assets. We determine the carrying value of these assets
based  on  our property and equipment accounting policies, which incorporate our
estimates, assumptions and judgments relative to capitalized costs, useful lives
and  salvage  values  of  our  rigs.  We  review  our property and equipment for
impairment  when  events  or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
value  of such assets may be impaired or when reclassifications are made between
property  and  equipment  and  assets  held  for sale as prescribed by SFAS 144,
Accounting  for  Impairment  or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.  Asset impairment
evaluations  are based on estimated undiscounted cash flows for the assets being
evaluated.  Our  estimates, assumptions and judgments used in the application of
our  property  and  equipment  accounting  policies  reflect  both  historical
experience and expectations regarding future industry conditions and operations.
Using different estimates, assumptions and judgments,


                                      -22-

especially  those  involving  the  useful  lives  of  our  rigs and expectations
regarding  future  industry conditions and operations, could result in different
carrying  values  of  assets  and  results  of  operations.

     Pension  and  Other Postretirement Benefits-Our defined benefit pension and
other  postretirement  benefit  (retiree  life  insurance  and medical benefits)
obligations  and  the related benefit costs are accounted for in accordance with
SFAS 87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions, and SFAS 106, Employers' Accounting
for  Postretirement  Benefits  Other  than  Pensions. Pension and postretirement
costs and obligations are actuarially determined and are affected by assumptions
including  expected  return  on  plan  assets,  discount  rates,  compensation
increases, employee turnover rates and health care cost trend rates. We evaluate
our  assumptions  periodically and make adjustments to these assumptions and the
recorded  liabilities  as  necessary.

     Two  of  the  most  critical assumptions are the expected long-term rate of
return on plan assets and the assumed discount rate. We evaluate our assumptions
regarding  the  estimated  long-term  rate  of  return  on  plan assets based on
historical  experience  and future expectations on investment returns, which are
calculated  by our third party investment advisor utilizing the asset allocation
classes  held  by  the  plan's  portfolios.  We utilize the Moody's Aa long-term
corporate bond yield as a basis for determining the discount rate for a majority
of  our  plans.  Changes  in  these  and other assumptions used in the actuarial
computations  could  impact  our  projected  benefit  obligations,  pension
liabilities,  pension  expense  and  other  comprehensive  income.  We  base our
determination  of  pension  expense on a market-related valuation of assets that
reduces  year-to-year  volatility.  This  market-related  valuation  recognizes
investment  gains  or losses over a five-year period from the year in which they
occur.  Investment  gains  or losses for this purpose are the difference between
the  expected return calculated using the market-related value of assets and the
actual  return  based  on  the  market-related  value  of  assets.


     Contingent  liabilities-We  establish  reserves  for  estimated  loss
contingencies  when we believe a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can
be  reasonably  estimated.  Revisions to contingent liabilities are reflected in
income  in  the  period  in which different facts or information become known or
circumstances  change  that  affect our previous assumptions with respect to the
likelihood or amount of loss. Reserves for contingent liabilities are based upon
our  assumptions  and  estimates  regarding  the probable outcome of the matter.
Should  the  outcome differ from our assumptions and estimates, revisions to the
estimated  reserves  for  contingent  liabilities  would  be  required.

HISTORICAL 2002 COMPARED TO 2001

     Although  our  2002 results of operations include a full year of operations
from the assets acquired in the R&B Falcon merger compared to 11 months in 2001,
our  revenues  and operating and maintenance expense decreased in 2002 by $146.2
million  and  $109.1  million,  respectively.  These  decreases  were  mainly
attributable  to  a  decline  in  overall  market conditions and resulted from a
general  uncertainty over world economic and political events. While our overall
average  fleet  dayrate  increased  from $66,000 in 2001 to $77,600 in 2002, the
resulting increase in revenues was more than offset by a substantial decrease in
utilization,  which  was 73% in 2001 compared to 61% in 2002. Our 2002 financial
results  included  the  recognition  of  a number of non-cash charges pertaining
substantially  to  goodwill  impairment. Following is a detailed analysis of our
International  and  U.S.  Floater Contract Drilling Services segment and Gulf of
Mexico  Shallow  and  Inland  Water  segment  operating  results,  as well as an
analysis  of income and expense categories that we have not allocated to our two
segments.

        days.
(c)     Average  dayrate  is  defined  as  revenue  earned  per  revenue  earning  day.


     The  increase  in  this  segment's operating revenues resulted from a $97.6
million increase from core assets acquired in the R&B Falcon merger representing
a  full  year of revenues in 2002 compared to 11 months of operations in 2001, a
$122.6  million  increase  from four newbuild drilling units placed into service
during  2001  and a $36.4 million increase from three rigs transferred into this
segment  from  the  Gulf of Mexico Shallow and Inland Water segment late in 2001
and  mid-2002. In addition, operating revenues relating to historical Transocean
core  assets totaled $1.5 billion for 2002, representing a $32.9 million, or two
percent,  increase  over  2001. Average dayrates for these historical Transocean
core  assets increased from $87,500 for 2001 to $92,900 for 2002 and utilization
of  these core assets decreased from 84 percent for 2001 to 81 percent for 2002.
These increases were partially offset by a $33.5 million decrease related to the
Deepwater  Frontier  following  the expiration of our lease with a related party
late  in  2001, a $32.5 million decrease from four leased rigs returned to their
owners,  a  $23.9  million  decrease related to two rigs removed from our active
fleet  and  marketed  for sale and a $20.4 million decrease related to rigs sold
during  2001 and 2002. Revenues from non-core assets decreased $36.4 million for
2002  compared  to  2001.  The  decrease  in revenues from these non-core assets
resulted  from  the  sale  of  RBF  FPSO  L.P.,  which owned the Seillean ($29.5
million),  and  a  decrease in average dayrates and utilization of the remaining
non-core  assets  from $88,900 and 61 percent, respectively, for 2001 to $82,000
and  57  percent, respectively, for 2002.  A decrease of $38.2 million resulting
from  the  winding up of our turnkey drilling business early in 2001 and loss of
hire  proceeds  of $10.7 million in 2001 for the Jack Bates was partially offset
by  a  settlement  of  a  contract  dispute  in  2002.

     A  large  portion  of  our  operating  and  maintenance expense consists of
employee-related  costs  and  is  fixed  or  only  semi-variable.  Accordingly,
operating and maintenance expense does not vary in direct proportion to activity
or  dayrates.

     The  decrease  in this segment's operating and maintenance expense resulted
from a decrease of $40.5 million related to the Deepwater Frontier following the
expiration  of  our  lease  with  a  related party late in 2001, a $22.7 million
decrease  related  to four leased rigs returned to their owners, a $13.6 million
decrease  related  to  two  rigs  removed from our active fleet and marketed for
sale,  a  $9.8  million  decrease  related  to rigs sold during 2001 and 2002, a
decrease  of $5.1 million related to legal disputes and a $10.1 million decrease
primarily  related  to a reduction in rig utilization, which resulted in certain
rigs  becoming  idle  with a reduced crew complement.  Operating and maintenance
expense  also  decreased  $5.5 million during 2002 for two newbuilds placed into
service  during  2001.  The  decrease  resulted  from  additional  startup costs
incurred  during  2001  with no comparable costs in 2002. In addition, operating
and  maintenance  expense in this segment decreased $39.9 million as a result of
the  winding  up of our turnkey drilling business in 2001.  These decreases were
partially  offset  by  an increase of $35.7 million in operating and maintenance
expenses  from  core  assets acquired in the


                                      -24-

R&B Falcon merger for the full year ended 2002 compared to 11 months of activity
in  2001,  an  increase  of  $21.6  million resulting from the activation of two
newbuild  drilling  units during 2001 and an increase of $22.6 million resulting
from  three  jackup  rigs  transferred into this segment from the Gulf of Mexico
Shallow  and  Inland  Water  segment  in  late  2001  and mid-2002. In addition,
accelerated  amortization  of  deferred  gain  on  the  Pride  North  Atlantic's
(formerly,  the  Drill  Star) during 2001 produced incremental gains for 2001 of
$36.6  million  with  no  equivalent  expense  reduction  during  2002.

     The increase in this segment's depreciation expense resulted primarily from
four  newbuild  drilling  units placed into service during 2001 ($17.5 million),
the  transfer  of  three  jackup  rigs into this segment from the Gulf of Mexico
Shallow and Inland Water segment ($13.3 million) and a full year of depreciation
in  2002 on rigs acquired in the R&B Falcon merger compared to 11 months in 2001
($18.8  million).  These  increases  were partially offset by lower depreciation
expense  following the suspension of depreciation on certain rigs transferred to
assets  held  for  sale  ($4.6  million), the sale of various rigs classified as
assets held and used during 2001 ($11.4 million) and an asset classified as held
for sale in 2002 that was subsequently transferred to the Gulf of Mexico Shallow
and  Inland  Water  segment  ($0.7  million).

     The  absence of goodwill amortization in 2002 resulted from our adoption of
SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, as of January 1, 2002.  Goodwill
is  no longer amortized but is reviewed for impairment at least annually as more
fully  described  in  Note  2  to  our  consolidated  financial  statements.

     The increase in impairment loss in this segment resulted primarily from our
annual  impairment  test  of  goodwill conducted as of October 1, 2002 ($2,494.1
million).  In  addition, we recorded non-cash impairment charges in this segment
of  $34.0  million  in  2002, representing a decrease of $5.4 million over 2001,
primarily  related to assets reclassified from held for sale to our active fleet
($28.5 million) because they no longer met the held for sale criteria under SFAS
144.  See  Note  7  to  our  consolidated  financial  statements.

     During  2002,  this  segment  recognized  net pre-tax gains of $5.5 million
related  to  the  sale  of  the  Transocean 96, Transocean 97, a mobile offshore
production  unit,  the  partial settlement of an insurance claim and the sale of
other  assets.  These  net  gains were partially offset by net pre-tax losses of
$2.8  million from the sale of the RBF 209 and an office building.  During 2001,
this  segment  recognized net pre-tax gains of $26.3 million related to the sale
of  RBF  FPSO  L.P.,  which  owned  the  Seillean,  $18.5 million related to the
accelerated amortization of the deferred gain on the sale of the Sedco Explorer,
$3.7  million  related  to  the  sale  of  two Nigerian-based land rigs and $2.2
million  from  the  sale  of  other  assets.

     Although  this  segment's  operating  revenues  represent  a  full  year of
operations  in  2002  compared  to  11  months  of  operations in 2001, revenues
decreased  mainly due to the further weakening of the Gulf of Mexico shallow and
inland  water market segment, a decline that began in mid-2001. In addition, the
transfer  of three jackup rigs from this segment into the International and U.S.
Floater Contract Drilling Services segment resulted in a $23.7 million decrease.
Excluding  the  three  jackup  rigs  transferred into the International and U.S.
Floater Contract Drilling Services segment, average dayrates and utilization for
core assets in this segment decreased from $28,800 and 60 percent, respectively,
for  2001  to  $20,900  and  34  percent,  respectively, for 2002. Revenues from
non-core assets in this segment decreased $28.0 million and related primarily to
Venezuela  ($27.9 million) where average dayrates and utilization decreased from
$19,500  and  77  percent,  respectively,  for  2001  to $18,300 and 26 percent,
respectively,  for  2002.

     A  large  portion  of  our  operating  and  maintenance expense consists of
employee-related  costs  and  is  fixed  or  only  semi-variable.  Accordingly,
operating and maintenance expense does not vary in direct proportion to activity
or  dayrates.

     Although this segment's operating and maintenance expense represents a full
year  of  operations  in  2002  compared  to  11  months  of operations in 2001,
operating  and  maintenance expense in this segment decreased primarily from the
further weakening of the Gulf of Mexico Shallow and Inland Water market segment,
which  resulted  in  additional idle rigs during 2002.  The additional idle rigs
resulted  in  a  $39.5 million decrease in personnel related expenses related to
reduced  employee  count,  a  $15.3  million reduction of repair and maintenance
costs, a $4.7 million decrease in leased rigs and other equipment rental expense
and  a  $6.1 million decrease in insurance expense due in part to the additional
idle  rigs  and  related  reduction  in  employee headcount.  In addition, three
jackup rigs were transferred out of this segment into the International and U.S.
Floater  Contract  Drilling  Services  segment  in  late  2001  and mid-2002 and
resulted  in  a  decrease of $15.4 million in operating and maintenance expense.
These decreases were partially offset by an increase in expenses of $4.4 million
resulting  from  severance-related costs and other restructuring charges related
to our decision to close an administrative office and warehouse in Louisiana and
relocate  most  of  the  operations  and  administrative  functions  previously
conducted  at  that location, as well as compensation-related expenses resulting
from  executive  management  changes  in  the  third  quarter  of  2002.

     The decrease in this segment's depreciation expense resulted primarily from
the transfer of three jackup rigs out of this segment into the International and
U.S.  Floater  Contract Drilling Services segment ($12.2 million) and suspension
of  depreciation  on  rigs  sold, scrapped or classified as held for sale during
2002 ($2.6 million).  These decreases were partially offset by increased expense
due  to  a  full year of depreciation in 2002 on rigs acquired in the R&B Falcon
merger  compared  to  11  months  in  2001  ($9.0  million).

     The  absence of goodwill amortization in 2002 resulted from our adoption of
SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, as of January 1, 2002.  Goodwill
is  no longer amortized but is reviewed for impairment at least annually as more
fully  described  in  Note  2  to  our  consolidated  financial  statements.

     The increase in impairment loss in this segment resulted primarily from our
annual  impairment  test  of  goodwill  conducted  as of October 1, 2002 ($381.9
million).  In  addition, we recorded non-cash impairment charges in this segment
of  $17.4  million in 2002, representing an increase of $16.4 million over 2001,
primarily  related to assets reclassified from held for sale to our active fleet
because  they no longer met the held for sale criteria under SFAS 144.  See Note
7  to  our  consolidated  financial  statements.

     During  2002,  this segment recognized net pre-tax gains of $2.4 million on
the  sale  of a land rig and other assets partially offset by net pre-tax losses
of  $1.4 million related to the sale of two mobile offshore production units and
a  land  rig.  During  2001,  this  segment recognized net pre-tax gains of $2.1
million  related  to  the  disposal of an inland drilling barge and $3.7 million
related  to  the  sale  of  other  assets.

     The  increase  in  general  and  administrative  expense  was  primarily
attributable  to  $3.9 million of costs related to the exchange of our notes for
TODCO's  notes  in  March  2002  (see "Liquidity and Capital ResourcesSources of
Liquidity").  The results from 2001 included a $1.3 million reduction in expense
related  to  the  favorable settlement of an unemployment tax assessment with no
corresponding  reduction  in 2002. In addition, expense increased due to the R&B
Falcon  merger  and  reflected additional costs to manage a larger, more complex
organization  for  a  full  year  in  2002  compared  to  11  months  in  2001.

     The  decrease in equity in earnings of joint ventures was primarily related
to  our  25  percent  share  of  losses from Delta Towing Holdings, L.L.C. ($4.1
million) and to the reduced earnings attributable to our 60 percent share of the
earnings  of Deepwater Drilling II L.L.C. ("DDII LLC"), which owns the Deepwater
Frontier  ($4.5  million), and our 50 percent share of Deepwater Drilling L.L.C.
("DD  LLC"),  which  owns  the  Deepwater  Pathfinder  ($1.6  million). Both the
Deepwater  Frontier  and the Deepwater Pathfinder experienced increased downtime
and  decreased utilization during 2002. These decreases were partially offset by
losses  recorded  in  February  2001  on  the  sale  of the Drill Star and Sedco
Explorer  by  a  joint  venture  in  which  we  own  a 25 percent interest ($2.6
million).  The  increase in interest income was primarily due to interest earned
on  higher  average  cash  balances  for  2002 compared to 2001. The decrease in
interest  expense  was  attributable  to reductions in interest expense of $33.2
million  associated  with debt that was refinanced, repaid or retired during and
subsequent to 2001 and a decrease in the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")
of  approximately  226 basis points that resulted in a $9.0 million reduction on
floating rate bank debt. Additionally, our fixed to floating interest rate swaps
resulted  in  reduced  interest  expense  of  $39.6  million.  Offsetting  these
decreases  were  $26.4  million  of  additional  interest expense on debt issued
during  the  second  quarter  of  2001, $8.6 million of interest expense on debt
acquired  in the R&B Falcon merger, which represents additional interest for the
full  year  2002  compared  to 11 months in 2001, and the absence of capitalized
interest in 2002 due to the completion of our newbuild projects in 2001 compared
to $34.9 million of capitalized interest in 2001. The increase in other, net was
due  primarily  to  a  loss on sale of securities during 2001 with no comparable
activity  in  2002.

     We  operate  internationally  and provide for income taxes based on the tax
laws and rates in the countries in which we operate and earn income. There is no
expected  relationship  between the provision for income taxes and income before
income  taxes  as  more fully described in Note 15 to our consolidated financial
statements.  The year ended December 31, 2002 included a non-U.S. tax benefit of
$175.7 million attributable to the restructuring of certain non-U.S. operations.

     During  2001, we recognized a $19.3 million extraordinary loss, net of tax,
related  to the early retirement of certain debt as more fully described in Note
8  to  our  consolidated  financial  statements.

     During 2002, we recognized a $1,363.7 million goodwill impairment charge as
a  cumulative  effect  of a change in accounting principle in our Gulf of Mexico
Shallow  and  Inland  Water segment related to the implementation of SFAS 142 as
more  fully  described  in  Note  2  to  our  consolidated financial statements.

HISTORICAL  2001  COMPARED  TO  2000

     Our  2001  results  of  operations include 11 months of operations from the
assets  acquired in the R&B Falcon merger, which was completed January 21, 2001.
The addition of these assets is reflected in the $1.6 billion and $790.7 million
increase in our revenues and operating and maintenance expense, respectively, in
2001  compared to 2000. Although our revenues increased during 2001, our overall
average  fleet  dayrate  and  utilization  decreased  from  $70,400  and  74%,
respectively,  in 2000 to $66,000 and 73%, respectively, in 2001. Following is a
detailed  analysis  of  our  International  and  U.S.  Floater Contract Drilling
Services  segment  and Gulf of Mexico Shallow and Inland Water segment operating
results,  as  well  as an analysis of income and expense categories that we have
not  allocated  to  our  two  segments.

(a)     Applicable  to  core  assets  only,  defined  as  high  specification  drillships and semisubmersibles
        (floaters),  other  floaters,  jackup  rigs,  drilling  barges  and  tenders.
(b)     Utilization  is  the total actual number of revenue earning days as a percentage of total calendar
        days.
(c)     Average  dayrate  is  defined  as  revenue  earned  per  revenue  earning  day.


     The  increase  in this segment's operating revenues reflected the inclusion
of  operating  revenues  from  core  assets acquired in the R&B Falcon merger of
$806.7  million,  revenues  of  $210.7 million from five newbuild drilling units
placed  into service during and subsequent to 2000, recognition of $10.7 million
related to a recovery from a loss-of-hire claim for an incident that occurred in
November  2000  and  an increase in activity reflected in higher utilization and
average  dayrates.  Operating  revenues  relating  to historical Transocean core
assets  totaled  $1,359.7 million for 2001, representing a $213.9 million, or 19
percent,  increase  over  the  comparable  2000  period.  Average  dayrates  and
utilization  for  these  core  assets  increased  from  $68,300  and 66 percent,
respectively,  for 2000 to $75,600 and 79 percent, respectively, for 2001. These
increases  were  partially offset by decreases in comparable revenues attributed
to  less activity for non-core assets and lower revenue earned from managed rigs
no  longer  operated  in  2001.  Revenues for 2000 included a cash settlement of
$25.1 million relating to an agreement with a unit of BP to cancel the remaining
14  months  of  firm  contract  time on the semisubmersible Transocean Amirante.

     The  increase  in  2001 in this segment's operating and maintenance expense
was  primarily  attributable to assets acquired in the R&B Falcon merger ($369.8
million),  the  activation of five newbuild drilling units during and subsequent
to  2000  ($77.7  million)  and  one newbuild drilling unit that was placed into
service  during  September 2000 ($15.9 million), offset by $36.6 million related
to  accelerated  amortization  of  the deferred gain on the Pride North Atlantic
(formerly  the Drill Star) during 2001. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial
statements. A large portion of our operating and maintenance expense consists of
employee-related  costs  and  is  fixed  or  only  semi-variable.  Accordingly,
operating and maintenance expense does not vary in direct proportion to activity
or  dayrates.


                                      -28-

     This segment's depreciation expense increased primarily due to depreciation
expense  for  the  rigs  acquired  in the R&B Falcon merger ($129.4 million) and
depreciation expense in 2001 for six newbuild drilling units placed into service
during  and  subsequent  to  2000  ($35.4 million).  This increase was partially
offset  by  a  reduction  of  approximately  $23 million for 2001 as a result of
conforming  our  policies  for  estimated  rig lives in conjunction with the R&B
Falcon  merger.

     The  increase in this segment's goodwill amortization expense resulted from
the  R&B  Falcon  merger.

     During  the fourth quarter of 2001, we recorded non-cash impairment charges
in  this  segment  of  $39.4 million related to certain assets held for sale and
certain  non-core  assets  held  and  used.  The  impairments  resulted  from
deterioration  in  current market conditions with the fair value of these assets
determined  based  on  projected  cash flows, industry knowledge and third-party
appraisals.

     During  2001,  we recognized a pre-tax gain of $26.3 million related to the
sale  of  RBF  FPSO L.P., which owned the Seillean, and $18.5 million related to
accelerated amortization of the deferred gain on the sale of the Sedco Explorer.
In  addition, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $5.9 million during the year ended
December  31,  2001 related to sales of certain non-strategic assets acquired in
the  R&B  Falcon  merger and certain other assets held for sale. During the year
ended  December  31,  2000, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $12.9 million on the
sale  of  three  drilling  units, the semisubmersible Transocean Discoverer, the
multi-purpose  service  vessel  Mr.  John  and  the  tender  Searex  V.

     This  segment's  operating results were attributable to operations acquired
in the R&B Falcon merger. Prior to January 31, 2001, we operated in one segment,
the  International  and  U.S.  Floater  Contract  Drilling  Services  segment.

     During  2001,  we  recorded a non-cash impairment charge in this segment of
$1.0  million  related  to  an asset held and used. The impairment resulted from
deterioration  in  current  market  conditions with the fair value of this asset
determined  based  on  projected  cash flows, industry knowledge and third-party
appraisals.

     During  2001,  we  recognized a net pre-tax gain of $5.8 million related to
sales  of  certain other assets  acquired in the R&B Falcon merger and
certain  other  assets  held  for  sale.

     The  increase  in  general and administrative expense reflects the costs to
manage  a  larger  and  more  complex organization as a result of the R&B Falcon
merger.

     The  increase  in equity in earnings of joint ventures was due primarily to
equity  in  earnings  of  joint ventures acquired in the R&B Falcon merger.  The
increase  in  interest  income  was  primarily due to interest earned on secured
contingent  notes from a related party acquired as part of the R&B Falcon merger
(see  "-Related  Party  Transactions") and higher average cash balances for 2001
compared to 2000. The increase in interest expense during 2001 was due to higher
debt  levels  arising  from the additional debt assumed in the R&B Falcon merger
and  additional  borrowings  to  complete  newbuild construction projects. Total
interest  capitalized  relating  to  construction projects was $34.9 million for
2001  compared  to  $86.6  million  for 2000, a decrease of $51.7 million, or 60
percent, resulting from the completion of six newbuild drilling units during and
subsequent  to  2000.

     We  operate  internationally  and provide for income taxes based on the tax
laws and rates in the countries in which we operate and earn income. There is no
expected  relationship  between the provision for income taxes and income before
income  taxes  as  more fully described in Note 15 to our consolidated financial
statements.

     During  2001, we recognized a $19.3 million extraordinary loss, net of tax,
related  to the early retirement of certain debt as more fully described in Note
8  to  our consolidated financial statements.  During 2000, we recognized a $1.4
million  extraordinary  gain,  net  of  tax,  related to the early retirement of
certain  debt.

     The  decrease  in  the  International  and  U.S.  Floater Contract Drilling
Services segment was primarily due to the impairment of goodwill of $2.5 billion
resulting  from  our  annual impairment test of goodwill in accordance with SFAS
142,  which  was  performed  as of October 1. The decrease in the Gulf of Mexico
Shallow  and  Inland  Water  segment  of  $1.9  billion was primarily due to the
impairment  of goodwill of $1.4 billion, which resulted from our initial test of
goodwill  impairment upon adoption of SFAS 142, and $0.4 billion from our annual
impairment  test  of  goodwill  performed  as  of  October  1.

RESTRUCTURING  CHARGES

     In  September  2002,  we committed to a restructuring plan to eliminate our
engineering  department located in Montrouge, France. We established a liability
of  $2.8  million  for the estimated severance-related costs associated with the
involuntary  termination  of  15 employees pursuant to this plan. The charge was
reported  as  operating  and  maintenance  expense in the International and U.S.
Floater  Contract  Drilling  Services  segment in our consolidated statements of
operations.  As  of  December  31, 2002, $1.7 million had been paid to employees
whose  positions  were  eliminated  as a result of this plan. We anticipate that
substantially  all amounts will be paid by the end of the first quarter of 2003.

     In  September  2002,  we  committed  to  a  restructuring  plan for a staff
reduction  in  Norway  as  a  result of a decline in activity in that region. We
established  a  liability  of  $1.2  million for the estimated severance-related
costs associated with the involuntary termination of eight employees pursuant to
this  plan.  The charge was reported as operating and maintenance expense in the
International  and  U.S.  Floater  Contract  Drilling  Services  segment  in our
consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2002, $0.1 million had
been  paid to employees whose positions are being eliminated as a result of this
plan.  We  anticipate  that substantially all amounts will be paid by the end of
the  first  quarter  of  2004.

     In  September  2002,  we  committed  to a restructuring plan to consolidate
certain  functions and offices utilized in our Gulf of Mexico Shallow and Inland
Water  segment. The plan resulted in the closure of an administrative office and
warehouse  in  Louisiana  and  relocation  of  most  of  the  operations  and
administrative functions previously conducted at that location. We established a
liability  of  $1.2 million for the estimated severance-related costs associated
with  the  involuntary  termination  of  57 employees pursuant to this plan. The
charge  was  reported  as  operating and maintenance expense in our consolidated
statements  of  operations. As of December 31, 2002, no amounts had been paid to
employees  whose  employment  is  being  terminated as a result of this plan. We
anticipate  that  substantially all amounts will be paid by the end of the first
quarter  of  2003.

     In  conjunction  with  the R&B Falcon merger, we established a liability of
$16.5  million  for  the  estimated  severance-related costs associated with the
involuntary  termination  of  569  R&B Falcon employees pursuant to management's
plan  to  consolidate  operations  and  administrative  functions  post-merger.
Included  in the 569 planned involuntary terminations were 387 employees engaged
in  our  land  and  barge  drilling  business  in Venezuela. We suspended active
marketing  efforts  to  divest  this  business  and,  as a result, the estimated
liability  was  reduced  by  $4.3  million  in the third quarter of 2001 with an
offset  to  goodwill.  As  of  December 31, 2002, all required severance-related
costs  have  been  paid  to  182  employees whose positions were eliminated as a
result  of  this  plan.

2001  PRO  FORMA  OPERATING  RESULTS

     Our  unaudited  pro  forma consolidated results for the year ended December
31, 2001, giving effect to the R&B Falcon merger, reflected net income of $260.2
million  or  $0.80 per diluted share on pro forma operating revenues of $2,946.0
million.  The  pro forma operating results assume the merger was completed as of
January  1,  2001  (see Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements).  These
pro  forma  results  do  not reflect the effects of reduced depreciation expense
related  to  conforming  the estimated lives of our drilling rigs. The pro forma
financial  data  should  not  be relied on as an indication of operating results
that  we would have achieved had the merger taken place earlier or of the future
results  that  we  may  achieve.

DEFINED  BENEFIT  PENSION  PLANS

     We  maintain  a  qualified  defined  benefit  pension plan (the "Retirement
Plan")  covering  substantially  all U.S. employees except for  TODCO employees,
and  an  unfunded  plan  (the  "Supplemental  Benefit  Plan") to provide certain
eligible employees with benefits in excess of those allowed under the Retirement
Plan.  In  conjunction  with  the  R&B  Falcon merger, we acquired three defined
benefit pension plans that were frozen prior to the merger for which benefits no
longer  accrue  (the  "Frozen Plans"), but the pension obligations have not been
fully  paid out.  We refer to the Retirement Plan, the Supplemental Benefit Plan
and  the  Frozen  Plans  collectively  as  the  U.S.  Plans.

     In  addition, the Company provides several defined benefit plans, primarily
group  pension  schemes  with  life  insurance  companies  covering  our  Norway
operations  (the "Norway Plans"). Certain of the Norway plans are funded in part
by  employee contributions. Our contributions to the Norway Plans are determined
primarily  by  the respective life insurance companies based on the terms of the
plan.  For  the insurance-based plans, annual premium payments are considered to
represent  a  reasonable  approximation  of the service costs of benefits earned
during  the  period. We also have an unfunded defined benefit plan (the "Nigeria
Plan")  that  provides  retirement  and  severance  benefits  for certain of our
Nigerian  employees.  The  defined  benefit  pension  benefits  we  provide (the
"Transocean  Plans")  are  comprised of the U.S.

(d)  Weighted-average based on relative average fair value of plan assets for the year.


     For  the  U.S.  Plans, our funding policy is to review amounts annually and
contribute  an  amount at least equal to the minimum contribution required under
the  Employee  Retirement  Income  Security  Act  of  1974  (ERISA).  Employer
contributions  to the funded U.S. Plans are based on actuarial computations that
establish  the  minimum  contribution  required  under  ERISA  and  the  maximum
deductible  contribution  for income tax purposes. No contributions were made to
the  funded  U.S.  Plans  during 2002 or 2001. Contributions to the Supplemental
Retirement  Plan  in  2002  and  the  Frozen Plans in 2002 and 2001 were to fund
benefit  payments  from  our  unfunded  U.S.  Plans.

     Plan  assets  of  the  funded  U.S.  Plans  have been adversely impacted by
declines  in  equity  market  values.  During  2002,  the  market  value  of the
investments  in  the Transocean Plans declined by $21.9 million or 10.4 percent.
The  decline  is due to benefit plan payments in excess of employee and employer
contributions and  $14.4 million of net investment losses, primarily in the U.S.
Plans,  resulting  from  the poor performance of the equity markets in 2002.  We
expect  to  begin


                                      -32-

making  annual  contributions  to  the Retirement Plan in 2003 and that the 2003
contribution  will  be  approximately  $11  million.  We  believe  the  required
contributions  can  be  funded from cash flow from operations. We have generated
unrecognized  net  actuarial  losses  due  to  the  effect  of  the  unfavorable
performance  of  the  equity markets on the plan assets of the U.S. Plans. As of
December  31,  2002 we had cumulative losses of approximately $39.6 million that
remain  to  be  recognized  in  the  calculation  of the market-related value of
assets.  These  unrecognized net actuarial losses may result in increases in our
future  pension  expense  depending  on  several factors, including whether such
losses  at  each measurement date exceed certain amounts in accordance with SFAS
No.  87,  Employers'  Accounting  for  Pensions.

     We  account  for  the  Transocean  Plans  in  accordance with SFAS 87. This
statement  requires  us  to  calculate our pension expense and liabilities using
assumptions  based  on  a  market-related  valuation  of  assets,  which reduces
year-to-year  volatility  using  actuarial  assumptions.  Changes  in  these
assumptions  can  result  in different expense and liability amounts, and future
actual experience can differ from these assumptions. In accordance with SFAS No.
87,  changes in pension obligations and assets may not be immediately recognized
as pension costs in the statement of operations, but generally are recognized in
future  years over the remaining average service period of plan participants. As
such,  significant  portions  of  pension  costs  recorded in any period may not
reflect  the  actual  level  of  benefit payments provided to plan participants.

     Two  of  the  most  critical  assumptions  used  in calculating our pension
expense and liabilities are the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets
and  the assumed discount rate. Primarily due to the decline in the market value
of  the  U.S.  Plans' assets and increased benefit obligations associated with a
reduction in the discount rate, the value of the U.S. Plans' assets is less than
the  accumulated benefit obligation. As a result, we recorded a non-cash minimum
liability  adjustment  related  to the U.S. Plans, which resulted in a charge to
other  comprehensive  income during the fourth quarter of 2002 of $32.5 million,
net  of  tax.  The  minimum  liability  adjustment did not affect our results of
operations  during  2002 nor our ability to meet any financial covenants related
to our debt facilities. We changed our expected long-term rate of return on plan
assets  for  our  Frozen  Plans to 9.0 percent as of December 31, 2002 from 10.0
percent  as of December 31, 2001 due to a change in the asset allocation of plan
assets. For all U.S. Plans, we changed our discount rate as of December 31, 2002
to  6.50  percent  from  7.0  percent as of December 31, 2001. The change in the
expected  long-term  rate  of  return on plan assets assumption was developed by
reviewing  each  plan's targeted asset allocation and asset class long-term rate
of return expectations. Pension expense related to the Transocean Plans for 2003
is  estimated to increase by approximately $7 million based on the change in the
expected  long-term  rate  of  return assumptions, discount rate assumptions and
other  factors. Continued poor performance in the equity markets could result in
additional  significant  changes  to  the  accumulated  other comprehensive loss
component  of  shareholders'  equity  and additional increases in future pension
expense  and  funding  requirements.

     We  regularly review our actual asset allocation and periodically rebalance
plan  assets  as  appropriate.  For each percentage point the expected long-term
rate  of  return  assumption  is  lowered,  pension  expense  would  increase
approximately $1.0 million. For each one-half percentage point the discount rate
is  lowered,  pension  expense  would  increase  by  approximately $3.5 million.

     Future  changes  in  plan asset returns, assumed discount rates and various
other  factors related to the pension will impact our future pension expense and
liabilities.  We cannot predict with certainty what these factors will be in the
future.

OUTLOOK

     Fleet  utilization  decreased  and  average  dayrates  improved  within our
International  and  U.S.  Floater  Contract  Drilling  Services business segment
during  the fourth quarter of 2002 compared with the third quarter of 2002. Both
fleet  utilization  and  average  dayrates decreased slightly within our Gulf of
Mexico  Shallow  and  Inland Water business segment during the fourth quarter of
2002  compared  with  the  third  quarter  of  2002.

     Commodity prices have increased significantly in the first quarter of 2003.
Concern  created by the prospect of a war with Iraq and the political turmoil in
Venezuela resulting in lost production have both contributed to higher crude oil
prices.  Cold weather and lower inventory levels have similarly helped push U.S.
natural  gas  prices  significantly  higher  during  the  first quarter of 2003.
However,  demand  for  our  drilling  rigs  is  driven  largely  by our clients'
perception  of future commodity prices, and whether the current strong commodity
prices  will  translate  into  increased  drilling  activity  in the face of the
general uncertainty over world political events remains unclear.  We believe our
customers  still see too much political and commercial uncertainty to materially
increase  demand  for  drilling  rigs  in  the  near  future.

     Although  we  do  not expect a significant increase in activity during 2003
within our International and U.S. Floater Contract Drilling Services segment, we
remain  optimistic  about  the  longer-term deepwater outlook. There is a slight
oversupply  of  deepwater  rigs  in  the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, and we expect this
trend  to  continue in 2003. The substantial number of large discoveries in West
Africa  combined with continuing exploratory interest in that region and growing
demand  for  rigs in India and the Far East are positive developments supporting
long-term  deepwater  activity.


                                      -34-

     The  non-U.S.  jackup  market  sectors  remain  strong.  We  look  for this
activity  level  to  continue  through  2003.  There  has  been some slowdown in
activity  in  Nigeria  but  we  expect  it to be offset by increased activity in
Mexico  and  India.

     The  mid-water  floater  business  remains  extremely weak. This segment is
significantly  oversupplied  globally  with  mid-water  rig  activity  levels
particularly low in the North Sea. At February 28, 2003, eight of our 17 rigs in
the  North  Sea  were idle but we anticipate putting three of these rigs back to
work  in the second quarter of 2003. It is uncertain if the expected increase in
activity  during  the  second  quarter of 2003 will be sustained past the summer
season,  as  substantial  oversupply  is  expected  to  continue  through  2003.

     The  U.S.  Gulf  of  Mexico  shallow and inland water jackup market segment
remains  depressed, despite historically high North American natural gas prices.
Jackup  rigs  continue  to  leave the U.S. Gulf of Mexico for long-term drilling
opportunities in other regions and, based on recently announced jackup rig needs
in  Mexico  and  India,  we  expect  this  trend to continue. With this expected
decline  in  the  jackup rig supply in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico market segment, a
slight increase in activity could cause substantial improvement in our U.S. Gulf
of  Mexico  shallow  water  business.

     The  contract  drilling market historically has been highly competitive and
cyclical,  and  we  are  unable  to  predict  the extent to which current market
conditions  will  continue.  A decline in oil or gas prices could further reduce
demand  for our contract drilling services and adversely affect both utilization
and  dayrates.

     We conduct our worldwide operations through various subsidiaries and branch
offices.  Consequently,  we  are  subject  to  changes  in  tax  laws  and  the
interpretations of those tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate. This
includes  tax laws directed toward companies organized in jurisdictions with low
tax  rates.  A  material  change in the tax laws of any country in which we have
operations,  including the United States, could result in a higher effective tax
rate  on  our  worldwide  earnings.

     As  a  result  of  our  reorganization  in 1999, we became a Cayman Islands
company  in a transaction commonly referred to as an "inversion." Legislation in
various  forms  has  been  introduced  in  the U.S. House of Representatives and
Senate that would change the tax law applicable to companies that have completed
inversion transactions. Some of the proposals would have retroactive application
and  would  treat  us  as  a  U.S.  corporation.  Other  proposals  would impose
additional  limitations  on  the  deductibility,  for  U.S.  federal  income tax
purposes, of intercompany interest expense and could also make it more difficult
to  integrate  acquired U.S. businesses with existing operations or to undertake
internal restructuring. We cannot provide any assurance as to what form, if any,
final legislation will take or the impact such legislation will ultimately have.

     Following  the  terrorist  attacks  on  September  11,  2001,  insurance
underwriters  increased  insurance  premiums  charged  for many of the coverages
historically  maintained  by  the  Company,  and the underwriters issued general
notices  of  cancellations  to  their  customers  for  war  risk,  terrorism and
political  risk  coverages with respect to a wide variety of insurance products,
including but not limited to, property damage, liability and aviation coverages.
Our  insurance  underwriters renegotiated substantially higher premium rates for
war  risk  coverage,  which can be canceled by the underwriters on short notice.
Our  directors and officers liability coverage was renewed in the second quarter
of  2002  with  a  substantial  increase in premium and we expect it to increase
significantly  in  the  second  quarter  of 2003. Our current property insurance
program  was  renewed at the beginning of 2003, and we have substantially higher
deductibles  for  property claims, which will result in lower insurance recovery
for property claims. Our principal insurance programs providing our occupational
injury and illness coverages were renewed at the end of 2002 with no substantial
increase  in premiums but with significantly higher deductibles. If our property
and  occupational  illness  claim  experience  in 2003 is comparable to 2002, we
expect  our  total  insurance  expense  to  increase between $10 million and $14
million.  Because  of  the  substantial  increase in our deductible exposure for
2003,  an  increase  in  our  loss  experience  would result in higher insurance
expense  for  the  period.

     As  a  result of the implementation of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No.
99-19,  Reporting  Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, costs we
incur  that  are  charged  to  our  customers  on  a  reimbursable basis will be
recognized  as  operating  and  maintenance  expense  in  2003. In addition, the
amounts billed to our customers associated with these reimbursable costs will be
recognized  as  operating  revenue. We expect the increase in operating revenues
and operating and maintenance expenses to be between $60 million and $80 million
for  the  year  2003.  This  change  in  the  accounting  treatment  for  client
reimbursables  will  have no effect on our results of operations or consolidated
financial  position.  We  previously  recorded  these  charges  and  related
reimbursements on a net basis in operating and maintenance expense. Prior period
amounts  are  not  reclassified  as  the  amounts  are  not  material.

     In  January  2003,  we  will  begin  recognizing stock compensation expense
effective  with  new  options  granted to employees in 2003. See "New Accounting
Pronouncements."


                                      -35-

     As  of February 28, 2003, approximately 55 percent of our International and
U.S.  Floater  Contract  Drilling Services segment fleet days were committed for
the  remainder  of 2003 and approximately 24 percent for the year 2004.  For our
Gulf  of  Mexico  Shallow  and  Inland  Water  segment,  which has traditionally
operated  under  short-term contracts, committed fleet days were approximately 2
percent  for the remainder of 2003 and none are currently committed for the year
2004.

OTHER  FACTORS  AFFECTING  OPERATING  RESULTS  AND  FINANCIAL  CONDITION

     Our  business  depends on the level of activity in oil and gas exploration,
development  and  production  in  market  segments  worldwide, with the U.S. and
international  offshore  and  U.S.  inland marine areas being our primary market
segments.  Oil  and  gas  prices and market expectations of potential changes in
these  prices  significantly  affect  this  level  of  activity. However, higher
commodity  prices  do not necessarily translate into increased drilling activity
since  our  customers'  expectation  of future commodity prices typically drives
demand  for  our  rigs.  Worldwide  military, political and economic events have
contributed  to  oil  and  gas  price  volatility and are likely to do so in the
future.  Oil  and gas prices are extremely volatile and are affected by numerous
factors,  including  the  following:

     -    worldwide  demand  for  oil  and  gas,

     -    the  ability  of  the  Organization  of Petroleum Exporting Countries,
          commonly  called  "OPEC,"  to  set  and maintain production levels and
          pricing,

     -    the  level  of  production  in  non-OPEC  countries,

     -    the  policies  of  various  governments  regarding  exploration  and
          development  of  their  oil  and  gas  reserves,

     -    advances  in  exploration  and  development  technology,  and

     -    the  worldwide  military  and  political  environment,  including
          uncertainty  or instability resulting from an escalation or additional
          outbreak  of  armed  hostilities or other crises in the Middle East or
          other  geographic  areas  or  further  acts of terrorism in the United
          States,  or  elsewhere.

     The  offshore  and  inland  marine  contract  drilling  industry  is highly
competitive  with  numerous  industry participants, none of which has a dominant
market share.  Drilling contracts are traditionally awarded on a competitive bid
basis.  Intense  price  competition  is  often the primary factor in determining
which  qualified  contractor is awarded a job, although rig availability and the
quality  and  technical  capability  of  service  and  equipment  may  also  be
considered.  Recent mergers among oil and natural gas exploration and production
companies  have  reduced  the  number  of  available  customers.

     Our  industry has historically been cyclical and is impacted by oil and gas
price  levels and volatility.  There have been periods of high demand, short rig
supply  and  high dayrates, followed by periods of low demand, excess rig supply
and low dayrates.  Changes in commodity prices can have a dramatic effect on rig
demand,  and  periods  of  excess  rig  supply  intensify the competition in the
industry  and  often result in rigs being idle for long periods of time.  We may
be  required  to  idle  rigs  or  enter into lower rate contracts in response to
market  conditions  in  the  future.

     We  undertook  a  significant  newbuild program that was completed in 2001.
While  we experienced some start-up difficulties with most of our newbuild rigs,
we  believe  our  newbuild fleet operations have progressed to a point where our
newbuild  fleet's  average  downtime  should be generally comparable to industry
norms.  However, the deepwater environments in which these newbuild rigs operate
continue to present technological and engineering challenges so we are unable to
provide  assurances  that  future  operational  problems  will not arise. Should
problems  occur  that  cause  significant  downtime  or  significantly  affect a
newbuild  rig's  performance  or safety, our clients may attempt to terminate or
suspend  the  drilling  contract,  particularly  any  of the long-term contracts
associated  with  most  of these rigs. In the event of termination of a drilling
contract for one of these rigs, it is unlikely that we would be able to secure a
replacement  contract  on  as  favorable  terms.

     Our  customers may terminate or suspend some of our term drilling contracts
under  various  circumstances  such  as  the loss or destruction of the drilling
unit, downtime caused by equipment problems or sustained periods of downtime due
to  force  majeure  events.  Some  drilling  contracts  permit  the  customer to
terminate  the  contract  at  the customer's option without paying a termination
fee.  Suspension  of  drilling  contracts results in loss of the dayrate for the
period  of  the  suspension.  If  our  customers  cancel some of our significant
contracts  and  we  are  unable to secure new contracts on


                                      -36-

substantially  similar  terms,  it  could  adversely  affect  our  results  of
operations.  In  reaction to depressed market conditions, our customers may also
seek  renegotiation  of  firm  drilling  contracts  to reduce their obligations.

     We  plan to continue our restructuring of the ownership of a portion of the
assets held by TODCO and its subsidiaries in connection with the planned initial
public  offering  of  our Gulf of Mexico Shallow and Inland Water business.  Any
transfer  of  assets by TODCO or one of its subsidiaries to Transocean or one of
its other subsidiaries in this restructuring could, in some cases, result in the
imposition  of  additional  taxes.

     Our operations are subject to the usual hazards inherent in the drilling of
oil  and gas wells, such as blowouts, reservoir damage, loss of production, loss
of  well  control,  punchthroughs, craterings and fires. The occurrence of these
events  could  result  in  the  suspension  of drilling operations, damage to or
destruction  of  the equipment involved and injury or death to rig personnel. We
may  also  be  subject to personal injury and other claims of rig personnel as a
result  of  our drilling operations. Operations also may be suspended because of
machinery  breakdowns,  abnormal  drilling  conditions,  and  failure  of
subcontractors to perform or supply goods or services or personnel shortages. In
addition,  offshore  drilling operators are subject to perils peculiar to marine
operations,  including  capsizing,  grounding, collision and loss or damage from
severe weather. Damage to the environment could also result from our operations,
particularly  through  oil spillage or extensive uncontrolled fires. We may also
be  subject  to  property,  environmental and other damage claims by oil and gas
companies.  Our  insurance  policies and contractual rights to indemnity may not
adequately  cover  losses,  and  we may not have insurance coverage or rights to
indemnity  for  all  risks.

     We  maintain  broad insurance coverage, including insurance against general
and  marine  third-party liabilities. Our offshore drilling equipment is covered
by  physical  damage  insurance  policies,  which cover against marine and other
perils,  including  losses  due  to  capsizing,  grounding,  collision,  fire,
lightning,  hurricanes, wind, storms, action of waves, punchthroughs, cratering,
blowouts, explosions and war risks. We also carry employer's liability and other
insurance  customary  in  the  offshore  contract  drilling  business. We do not
normally  carry  loss  of  hire  or  business  interruption  insurance.

     Consistent  with  standard industry practice, our clients generally assume,
and  indemnify  us  against,  well  control  and  subsurface risks under dayrate
contracts.  These risks are those associated with the loss of control of a well,
such as blowout or cratering, the cost to regain control or redrill the well and
associated pollution. However, there can be no assurance that these clients will
necessarily  be  financially  able  to  indemnify  us  against  all these risks.

     We  believe we are adequately insured in accordance with industry standards
against normal risks in our operations; however, such insurance coverage may not
in  all  situations  provide sufficient funds to protect us from all liabilities
that could result from our drilling operations. Although our current practice is
to  insure  the majority of our drilling units for their approximate fair value,
our  insurance  would  not  completely cover the costs that would be required to
replace  certain  of  our  units,  including  certain  high-specification
semisubmersibles and drillships. We may also change our deductibles from time to
time  in  a  manner  that  significantly  limits  the  available recovery for an
individual  property  claim.

     We  operate  in  various regions throughout the world that may expose us to
political  and  other  uncertainties,  including  risks  of:

  -  terrorist  acts,  war  and  civil  disturbances;

  -  expropriation  or  nationalization  of  equipment;  and

  -  the  inability  to  repatriate  income  or  capital.

     We  are  protected  to a substantial extent against loss of capital assets,
but  generally  not loss of revenue, from most of these risks through insurance,
indemnity  provisions  in  our  drilling  contracts,  or  both. The necessity of
insurance coverage for risks associated with political unrest, expropriation and
environmental  remediation  for  operating  areas not covered under our existing
insurance  policies  is  evaluated  on an individual contract basis. Although we
maintain insurance in the areas in which we operate, pollution and environmental
risks  generally  are  not totally insurable. If a significant accident or other
event  occurs  and  is not fully covered by insurance or a recoverable indemnity
from  a client, it could adversely affect our consolidated financial position or
results  of  operations. Moreover, no assurance can be made that we will be able
to  maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates we consider reasonable or
be  able to obtain insurance against certain risks, particularly in light of the
instability  and  developments  in  the  insurance  markets following the recent
terrorist attacks. As of February 28, 2003, all areas in which we were operating
were  covered  by  existing  insurance  policies.


                                      -37-

     Many  governments  favor  or  effectively  require the awarding of drilling
contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens
of,  or  purchase  supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. These practices may
adversely  affect  our  ability  to  compete.

     Our  non-U.S.  contract drilling operations are subject to various laws and
regulations  in  countries  in  which we operate, including laws and regulations
relating  to the equipment and operation of drilling units, currency conversions
and  repatriation,  oil  and  gas  exploration  and  development and taxation of
offshore  earnings  and  earnings  of  expatriate personnel. Governments in some
foreign  countries have become increasingly active in regulating and controlling
the  ownership of concessions and companies holding concessions, the exploration
of  oil  and  gas  and  other  aspects  of  the  oil and gas industries in their
countries.  In  addition,  government action, including initiatives by OPEC, may
continue  to cause oil or gas price volatility. In some areas of the world, this
governmental  activity  has  adversely  affected  the  amount of exploration and
development  work  done  by  major  oil  companies  and  may  continue to do so.

     We  are  a  Cayman Islands company as a result of our reorganization from a
Delaware  corporation  in  May  1999.  We  operate worldwide through our various
subsidiaries.  Consequently, we are subject to changing taxation policies in the
jurisdictions  in which we operate, which could include policies directed toward
companies  organized  in  jurisdictions with low tax rates. A material change in
the  tax  laws of any country in which we have significant operations, including
the  U.S., could result in a higher effective tax rate on our worldwide earnings

     Another  risk  inherent  in  our  operations is the possibility of currency
exchange  losses  where  revenues  are  received  and  expenses  are  paid  in
nonconvertible currencies.  We may also incur losses as a result of an inability
to  collect  revenues because of a shortage of convertible currency available to
the country of operation.  We seek to limit these risks by structuring contracts
such  that  compensation  is  made  in freely convertible currencies and, to the
extent possible, by limiting acceptance of non-convertible currencies to amounts
that  match  our  expense  requirements  in  local  currency  (see  "Item  7A.
Quantitative  and  Qualitative  Disclosures  About  Market Risk-Foreign Exchange
Risk").  Venezuela has recently implemented foreign exchange controls that limit
our  ability  to  convert  local  currency into U.S. dollars and transfer excess
funds  out  of Venezuela. Our drilling contracts in Venezuela typically call for
payments  to  be made in local currency, even when the dayrate is denominated in
U.S.  dollars.  The  exchange controls could also result in an artificially high
value  being  placed  on  the  local  Venezuela  currency.

     We  require  highly  skilled  personnel  to  operate  and provide technical
services  and  support  for  our  drilling units.  To the extent that demand for
drilling  services  and  the  size  of  the  worldwide  industry fleet increase,
shortages of qualified personnel could arise, creating upward pressure on wages.
We  are continuing our recruitment and training programs as required to meet our
anticipated  personnel  needs.

     On  January  31,  2003,  we  had  approximately 10 percent of our employees
worldwide  working  under  collective  bargaining  agreements, most of whom were
working  in Norway, U.K., Nigeria and Trinidad.  Of these represented employees,
a  majority  are working under agreements that are subject to salary negotiation
in  2003.  These ongoing negotiations could result in higher personnel expenses,
other  increased  costs  or  increased  operating  restrictions.

     Our  operations  are  subject  to  regulations controlling the discharge of
materials  into the environment, requiring removal and cleanup of materials that
may  harm  the  environment  or  otherwise  relating  to  the  protection of the
environment.  For  example,  as an operator of mobile offshore drilling units in
navigable  U.S. waters and some offshore areas, we may be liable for damages and
costs  incurred  in connection with oil spills related to those operations. Laws
and  regulations protecting the environment have become more stringent in recent
years,  and may in some cases impose strict liability, rendering a person liable
for  environmental  damage  without  regard  to  negligence.  These  laws  and
regulations  may  expose us to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused
by  others  or  for acts that were in compliance with all applicable laws at the
time  they were performed. The application of these requirements or the adoption
of  new  requirements  could  have a material adverse effect on our consolidated
financial  position  and  results  of  operations.

     We  have  generally  been  able  to  obtain  some  degree  of  contractual
indemnification  pursuant to which our clients agree to protect and indemnify us
against  liability for pollution, well and environmental damages; however, there
is  no  assurance that we can obtain such indemnities in all of our contracts or
that, in the event of extensive pollution and environmental damages, the clients
will  have  the financial capability to fulfill their contractual obligations to
us.  Also,  these indemnities may not be enforceable in all instances.


                                      -38-

     On  September  11,  2001,  the  U.S. was the target of terrorist attacks of
unprecedented  scope.  Recent  world  political events have resulted in military
action  in Afghanistan and Iraq, and increasing military tension involving North
Korea.  Military  action by the U.S. or other nations could escalate and further
acts  of  terrorism  in  the U.S. or elsewhere may occur. Such acts of terrorism
could be directed against companies such as ours. These developments have caused
instability  in  the  world's  financial  and  insurance markets and will likely
significantly  increase  political  and  economic  instability in the geographic
areas  in which we currently operate. In addition, these developments could lead
to increased volatility in prices for crude oil and natural gas and could affect
the  markets  for drilling services. Insurance premiums have increased and could
rise  further  and  coverages  may  be unavailable in the future. See "Outlook".

     U.S.  government  regulations  may  effectively  preclude  us from actively
engaging in business activities in certain countries. These regulations could be
amended  to  cover  countries where we currently operate or where we may wish to
operate in the future. These developments could subject the worldwide operations
of  our company to increased risks and, depending on their magnitude, could have
a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business.

     The  general rate of inflation in the majority of the countries in which we
operate has been moderate over the past several years and has not had a material
impact  on  our  results  of  operations. An increase in the demand for offshore
drilling  rigs usually leads to higher labor, transportation and other operating
expenses  as a result of an increased need for qualified personnel and services.

MERGER  PURCHASE  PRICE  ALLOCATION

     The  purchase  price  allocation  for  the  R&B  Falcon merger included, at
estimated  fair  value, total assets of $4.8 billion and the assumption of total
liabilities of $3.8 billion. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated
fair  value  of  net assets acquired of approximately $5.6 billion was accounted
for  as  goodwill.  At December 31, 2002, the remaining goodwill balance of $1.2
billion  represented  approximately 10 percent of total assets and 17 percent of
total  shareholders'  equity. Prior to our January 1, 2002 adoption of SFAS 142,
goodwill  was amortized using a 40-year life based on the nature of the offshore
drilling industry, long-lived drilling equipment and long-standing relationships
with  core  customers.  See  "-New  Accounting  Pronouncements".

     The  purchase  price  allocation for the merger of Transocean Offshore Inc.
and  Sedco Forex included, at estimated fair value, total assets of $3.8 billion
and  the  assumption  of  total  liabilities  of $1.9 billion. The excess of the
purchase  price  over  the  estimated  fair  value  of  net  assets  acquired of
approximately $1.1 billion was accounted for as goodwill.  At December 31, 2002,
the  remaining  goodwill balance of $1.0 billion represented approximately eight
percent  of total assets and 14 percent of total shareholders' equity.  Prior to
our January 1, 2002 adoption of SFAS 142, goodwill was amortized using a 40-year
life  based on the nature of the offshore drilling industry, long-lived drilling
equipment  and  long-standing  relationships  with  core  customers.  See  "-New
Accounting  Pronouncements".

     Cash generated from net income items adjusted for non-cash activity in 2002
increased  $147.0 million over 2001.  For 2002, we recognized non-cash losses on
impairments  of goodwill and long-lived assets in the amount of $4,239.7 million
and  $51.4  million, respectively, while we recognized $40.4 million of non-cash
impairments  on long-lived assets and $154.9 million of goodwill amortization in
2001.  The  increase in cash provided by working capital items for 2002 compared
to  2001  was  primarily  due to lower activity and improved accounts receivable
collections.

expenditures  in  2002  due  to  the completion of our newbuild program in 2001.

     During 2002, we had no borrowings under our revolving credit agreements and
we repaid the $326.4 million that we borrowed under our commercial paper program
in  2001. The decrease in repayments of debt instruments of $1,361.7 million was
primarily  due to repayments of TODCO debt instruments totaling $1,458.0 million
in  the  second  quarter  of  2001  as  more  fully  described  in Note 8 to our
consolidated  financial  statements.  Also  in 2002, we made early repayments of
the  secured rig financings on the Trident IX and Trident 16 of $50.6 million in
aggregate  and  scheduled  debt payments of $138.6 million. The increase in cash
used  in  other, net mainly reflects $8.3 million in consent payments related to
the  exchange  of our notes for TODCO notes, no exercise of warrants in 2002 and
lower  proceeds  from  stock  option  exercises in 2002, partially offset by the
discontinuance  of  cash  dividend payments after the second quarter of 2002 and
financing  costs  paid in 2001 in connection with debt issuances.  In the second
quarter  of  2001, we received net proceeds of $1,693.5 million primarily due to
the  issuance  of  our 6.625% Notes, 7.5% Notes and 1.5% Convertible Debentures.

          CAPITAL  EXPENDITURES

     Capital  expenditures totaled $141.0 million during the year ended December
31,  2002. During 2003, we expect to spend between $130 million and $150 million
on  our  existing  fleet,  corporate  infrastructure  and  major  upgrades.  A
substantial majority of our expected capital expenditures in 2003 relates to our
International  and  U.S.  Floater  Contract  Drilling  Services  segment.

     We  intend  to  fund  the  cash  requirements  relating  to  our  capital
expenditures through available cash balances, cash generated from operations and
asset  sales.  We  also  have  available  credit  under  our  revolving  credit
agreements  and  commercial  paper program (see "-Sources of Liquidity") and may
engage  in  other  commercial  bank  or  capital  market  financings.

     ACQUISITIONS  AND  DISPOSITIONS

     From  time  to  time,  we  review  possible  acquisitions of businesses and
drilling  units  and  may in the future make significant capital commitments for
such  purposes.  Any  such  acquisition  could  involve  the  payment by us of a
substantial amount of cash or the issuance of a substantial number of additional
ordinary  shares  or other securities.  We would likely fund the cash portion of
any such acquisition through cash balances on hand, the incurrence of additional
debt,  sales  of  assets,  ordinary  shares or other securities or a combination
thereof.  In  addition,  from  time  to time, we review possible dispositions of
drilling  units.   See  "-Outlook."


                                      -40-

     In  March  2002,  in  our  International and U.S. Floater Contract Drilling
Services  segment,  we  sold  two  semisubmersible  rigs,  the Transocean 96 and
Transocean  97,  for  net proceeds of $30.7 million and recognized net after-tax
gains  of  $1.3  million.  In  June  2002, in our International and U.S. Floater
Contract  Drilling  Services  segment,  we  sold  a jackup rig, the RBF 209, and
recognized  a net after-tax loss of $1.5 million. During the year ended December
31,  2002,  we  also partially settled an insurance claim and sold certain other
non-strategic  assets and certain other assets held for sale for net proceeds of
approximately  $38.9  million and recognized net after-tax gains of $2.7 million
and  $0.6  million  in  our  International  and  U.S.  Floater Contract Drilling
Services  and  Gulf  of  Mexico Shallow and Inland Water segments, respectively.

     In  January 2003, we completed the sale of the RBF 160 to a third party for
net  proceeds  of  $13.0  million and recognized a net after-tax gain on sale of
$0.2  million. The proceeds were received in December 2002 and were reflected as
deferred  income and proceeds from asset sales in the consolidated balance sheet
and  consolidated  statement  of  cash  flow,  respectively.

     We  continue  to  proceed  with our previously announced plans to pursue an
initial public offering of our Gulf of Mexico Shallow and Inland Water business.
Our  plan  is  to  separate  this business from Transocean and establish it as a
publicly  traded  company.  We are proceeding with our plans to reorganize TODCO
as the entity that owns this business in preparation of the offering.  We expect
to effect the initial public offering when market conditions warrant, subject to
various  factors.  Given  the current general uncertainty in the equity and U.S.
natural  gas  drilling  markets,  we  are  unsure  when the transaction could be
completed  on  terms  acceptable  to  us.  See  "-Overview."

     Our  plans  to  sell  certain  other individual assets have been impeded by
difficult  market  conditions. We expect the pace of these asset sales to remain
slow  until  market conditions improve. We received $207 million in 2001 and $79
million  in  2002  from the sale of these assets. Future sales will be dependent
upon  obtaining  an  acceptable sale price. We may evaluate our decision to sell
these  assets  from time to time depending upon market conditions and may decide
to  discontinue  our  sales  efforts,  in  whole  or  in  part.

     SOURCES  OF  LIQUIDITY

     Our  primary  sources  of  liquidity  in  2002  were  our  cash  flows from
operations  and  asset  sales.  Primary  uses  of  cash  were debt repayment and
capital expenditures.  At December 31, 2002, we had $1,214.2 million in cash and
cash  equivalents.

     We  anticipate  that we will rely primarily upon existing cash balances and
internally  generated  cash  flows  to maintain liquidity in 2003, as cash flows
from  operations  are  expected  to be positive and, together with existing cash
balances,  adequate  to fulfill anticipated obligations, including the potential
obligation to repurchase the Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures at the option of
the  holders. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements.  From time to
time,  we  may  also  use  bank lines of credit and commercial paper to maintain
liquidity  for  short-term  cash  needs.

     We  intend to use the proceeds from the initial public offering of our Gulf
of  Mexico  Shallow and Inland Water business as well as any proceeds from asset
sales  (see  "-Acquisitions  and  Dispositions")  to  further  reduce  our  debt
balances.

     We intend to use cash from operations primarily to pay debt as it comes due
and  to  fund  capital  expenditures.  If  we seek to reduce our debt other than
through  scheduled  maturities,  we  could  do  so  through  repayment  of  bank
borrowings  or through repurchases or redemptions of, or tender offers for, debt
securities.  We  have  significantly  reduced  capital  expenditures compared to
prior years due to the completion of our newbuild program in 2001.  During 2002,
we  have  reduced net debt, defined as total debt less swap receivables and cash
and  cash  equivalents,  by $873 million. The components of net debt at carrying
value  were  as  follows  (in  millions):

     Because  we  intend  to  pay  debt  with  cash  on hand, we use net debt to
represent  debt  that is anticipated to be paid with future cash flows.  The net
debt  measure also allows us to measure the cash flow that has been generated to
date  to fund our major obligations.  Net debt since 2001 has been on a downward
trend  as  cash  flows,  primarily  from  operations  and asset sales, have been
greater  than  that  needed  for  capital  expenditures.


                                      -41-

     Our  internally generated cash flow is directly related to our business and
the  market segments in which we operate. Should the drilling market deteriorate
further,  or should we experience poor results in our operations, cash flow from
operations  may  be  reduced.   To  date, however, we have continued to generate
positive  cash  flow  from  operations.

     We  have access to $800 million in bank lines of credit under two revolving
credit  agreements,  a  364-day  revolving  credit  agreement providing for $250
million  in  borrowings  and expiring in December 2003 and a five-year revolving
credit  agreement  providing  for  $550  million  in  borrowings and expiring in
December  2005.  These  credit lines are used primarily to back our $800 million
commercial  paper program and may also be drawn on directly.  As of December 31,
2002,  none  of  the  credit line capacity was utilized, leaving $800 million of
availability  under  the  bank  lines of credit for commercial paper issuance or
drawdowns.

     The  bank  credit  lines  require  compliance  with  various  covenants and
provisions  customary  for  agreements  of  this  nature,  including an interest
coverage  ratio and leverage ratio, both as defined by the credit agreements, of
not  less  than  three  to one and not greater than 40 percent, respectively. In
calculating  the  leverage ratio, the credit agreements specifically exclude the
impact  on total capital of all non-cash goodwill impairment charges recorded in
compliance  with SFAS 142 (see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements).
Other provisions of the credit agreements include limitations on creating liens,
incurring  debt,  transactions  with affiliates, sale/leaseback transactions and
mergers  and  sale  of  substantially all assets.  Should we fail to comply with
these covenants, we would be in default and may lose access to these facilities.
A  loss  of  the  bank  facilities  would  also  cause  us to lose access to the
commercial  paper  markets.  We  are also subject to various covenants under the
indentures  pursuant to which our public debt was issued, including restrictions
on  creating  liens,  engaging  in  sale/leaseback  transactions and engaging in
merger,  consolidation  or  reorganization  transactions.  A  default  under our
public  debt could trigger a default under our credit lines and cause us to lose
access  to these facilities. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements
for  a  description  of  our  credit  agreements  and  debt  securities.

     In  April 2001, the SEC declared effective our shelf registration statement
on Form S-3 for the proposed offering from time to time of up to $2.0 billion in
gross  proceeds  of  senior  or subordinated debt securities, preference shares,
ordinary  shares  and  warrants  to purchase debt securities, preference shares,
ordinary  shares  or  other  securities.  In  May 2001, we issued $400.0 million
aggregate principal amount of 1.5% Convertible Debentures due May 15, 2021 under
the  shelf  registration  statement. At February 28, 2003, $1.6 billion in gross
proceeds of securities remained unissued under the shelf registration statement.

     Our  access  to commercial paper, debt and equity markets may be reduced or
closed  to us due to a variety of events, including, among others, downgrades of
ratings  of our debt and commercial paper, industry conditions, general economic
conditions,  market  conditions  and  market perceptions of us and our industry.

     Our contractual obligations in the table below include our debt obligations
at  face  value.

     The  bondholders  may,  at their option, require us to repurchase, or put,
the Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures due 2020, the 1.5% Convertible Debentures
due  2021  and  the  7.45%  Notes due 2027 in May 2003, May 2006 and April 2007,
respectively.  With regard to both series of the Convertible Debentures, we have
the  option  to  pay  the  repurchase  price  in  cash,  ordinary  shares or any
combination  of  cash  and  ordinary  shares.  The  chart above assumes that the
holders  of  these  convertible debentures and notes exercise the options at the
first  available  date.  We  expect that most, if not all, of the holders of the
Zero  Coupon  Convertible  Debentures will exercise their put option in May 2003
and,  at  that  time, we would recognize additional expense of approximately $11
million  as  a  loss  on retirement of debt to fully amortize the remaining debt
issue  costs  related to these debentures. We expect to satisfy the May 2003 put
option in cash. We are also required to repurchase the convertible debentures at
the option of the holders at other later dates as more fully described in Note 8
to  our  consolidated  financial  statements.

     At  December  31, 2002, we had other commitments that we are contractually
obligated  to  fulfill  with  cash  should  the  obligations  be  called.  These
obligations  consisted  primarily  of standby letters of credit and surety bonds
that  guarantee  our  performance  as  it  relates  to  our  drilling contracts,
insurance,  tax  and  other  obligations  in  various  jurisdictions.  These
obligations  are  not normally called as we typically comply with the underlying
performance  requirement.  The  table below


                                      -42-

provides  a  list of these obligations in U.S. dollar equivalents and their time

time  prior  to  the  expiration  dates.

     (a)  See "-Special Purpose Entities".


     Letters  of  credit  are  issued  under  a number of facilities provided by
several  banks.  The  obligations that are the subject of these surety bonds are
geographically  concentrated  in the United States, Brazil and Nigeria, of which
93  percent  are  concentrated  in  five  bonds.

     In  March  2002,  we  completed an exchange offer where TODCO's 6.5% Senior
Notes  due  April  15, 2003, 6.75% Senior Notes due April 15, 2005, 6.95% Senior
Notes  due April 15, 2008, 7.375% Senior Notes due April 15, 2018, 9.125% Senior
Notes  due  December 15, 2003 and 9.5% Senior Notes due December 15, 2008, whose
holders  accepted  the offer, were exchanged for our newly issued notes. The new
notes  were  issued in six series corresponding to the six series of TODCO notes
and  have the same principal amount, interest rate, redemption terms and payment
and  maturity  dates  as  the corresponding series of TODCO notes. The aggregate
principal  amount  of  the  new  notes  issued  was  approximately $1.4 billion.
Because the holders of a majority in principal amount of each of these series of
notes  consented to the proposed amendments to the applicable indenture pursuant
to  which  the  notes  were  issued,  some covenants, restrictions and events of
default  were  eliminated  from  the  indentures with respect to these series of
notes.  The  notes  not  exchanged,  with an aggregate principal amount of $38.8
million,  remain  the  obligation  of  TODCO.  In  connection  with the exchange
offers,  TODCO paid $8.3 million in consent payments to holders of TODCO's notes
whose  notes  were  exchanged.

          DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

     We have established policies and procedures for derivative instruments that
have  been  approved  by  our Board of Directors.  These policies and procedures
provide  for the prior approval of derivative instruments by our Chief Financial
Officer.  From time to time, we may enter into a variety of derivative financial
instruments in connection with the management of our exposure to fluctuations in
foreign  exchange  rates  and  interest  rates.  We do not enter into derivative
transactions for speculative purposes; however, for accounting purposes, certain
transactions  may  not  meet  the  criteria  for  hedge  accounting.

     Gains and losses on foreign exchange derivative instruments that qualify as
accounting  hedges  are  deferred  as accumulated other comprehensive income and
recognized when the underlying foreign exchange exposure is realized.  Gains and
losses  on foreign exchange derivative instruments that do not qualify as hedges
for  accounting  purposes are recognized currently based on the change in market
value  of  the derivative instruments.  At December 31, 2002, we had no material
open  foreign  exchange  derivative  instruments.

     From  time  to time, we may use interest rate swaps to manage the effect of
interest  rate changes on future income. Interest rate swaps are designated as a
hedge  of underlying future interest payments. The interest rate differential to
be received or paid under the swaps is recognized over the lives of the swaps as
an  adjustment  to  interest expense (see "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures  About Market Risk-Interest Rate Risk"). If an interest rate swap is
terminated,  the gain or loss is amortized over the life of the underlying debt.
At  December  31,  2002,  we  had  a  $3.6  million gain related to a terminated
interest  rate  swap that was included in accumulated other comprehensive income
in  our  consolidated  balance sheet and is being amortized over the life of the
underlying  debt.


                                      -43-

     DD  LLC,  an  unconsolidated joint venture in which we have a 50% ownership
interest,  has  entered  into  interest rate swaps associated with the operating
lease  for  the Deepwater Pathfinder. At December 31, 2002, the aggregate market
values  of these swaps netted to a liability of $6.7 million.  The effect of the
swap  has  been  to convert the interest portion of the operating lease payments
from  a floating rate of one-month LIBOR plus a margin to a fixed rate of 5.7175
percent  per  annum.  We report our share of the fair value of the interest rate
swaps  in  accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding reduction
to  investments  in  and  advances to joint ventures in our consolidated balance
sheet.  At  December  31,  2002,  this  amount  was  an  unrealized loss of $2.0
million,  net  of  tax.

     In  June  2001,  we  entered into $700 million aggregate notional amount of
interest  rate  swaps  as  a fair value hedge against our 6.625% Notes due April
2011.  In  February 2002, we entered into $900 million aggregate notional amount
of  interest rate swaps as a fair value hedge against our 6.75% Senior Notes due
April 2005, 6.95% Senior Notes due April 2008 and 9.5% Senior Notes due December
2008.  The  swaps  effectively  converted the fixed interest rate on each of the
four series of notes into a floating rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 50, 246, 171
and  413  basis points, respectively.  The market value of the swaps was carried
as  an  asset  or a liability in our consolidated balance sheet and the carrying
value  of  the  hedged debt was adjusted accordingly.  At December 31, 2002, the
swaps  had  a market value of $181.3 million that was recorded as an increase to
other  assets  and  long-term  debt  in  our  consolidated  balance  sheets.

     In  January  2003, we terminated the swaps with respect to our 6.75% Senior
Notes  due  April  2005, 6.95% Senior Notes due April 2008 and 9.5% Senior Notes
due  December  2008.  In March 2003, we terminated the swaps with respect to our
6.625%  Notes due April 2011. As a result of these terminations, we will have an
aggregate  fair  value  adjustment  of  approximately $173.5 million included in
long-term  debt in our consolidated balance sheet, which will be amortized as an
adjustment  to  interest  expense  over the life of the underlying debt. For the
year  2003,  we  expect this reduction to interest expense will be approximately
$23.1  million.

SPECIAL  PURPOSE  ENTITIES

     As  a  result  of the R&B Falcon merger, we have ownership interests in two
unconsolidated joint ventures, 50 percent in DD LLC, and 60 percent in DDII LLC.
Subsidiaries  of ConocoPhillips ("Conoco") own the remaining interests in DD LLC
and  DDII  LLC.  We  share management of the joint ventures equally with Conoco.
Each  of  the joint ventures is a lessee in a synthetic lease financing facility
entered into in connection with the construction of the Deepwater Pathfinder, in
the  case  of  DD  LLC,  and  the  Deepwater  Frontier, in the case of DDII LLC.
Pursuant to the lease financings, the rigs are owned by special purpose entities
and  leased to the joint ventures.  We do not own, manage or control the special
purpose  entities.  The lease payments under both synthetic leases are supported
by  drilling contracts between the two respective joint ventures and Conoco and,
in the case of DDII LLC, one of our subsidiaries.  Conoco is responsible for all
of  the  remaining  commitment to DD LLC and most of the remaining commitment to
DDII  LLC  under  these  drilling  contracts.

     We,  together  with  Conoco,  provide  the  joint  ventures  with  certain
operational  support  services.  For  each  of the joint ventures, we and Conoco
guarantee  the  obligation  of the joint venture to pay certain contingent lease
obligations  in  proportion to their respective ownership interests in the joint
ventures.

     DD  LLC's  annual  rent  payments  for  the  Deepwater Pathfinder, totaling
approximately  $29  million in 2002, are substantially fixed due to the interest
rate  swap  described  above.  DDII LLC's annual rent payments for the Deepwater
Frontier  are  subject  to  changes  in  market  interest  rates  and  totaled
approximately  $24  million  in  2002.

     If  an  event  of default occurs under the applicable lease documents, each
joint  venture  may be required to pay an amount equal to the amount of debt and
equity  financing  owed  by  the  applicable special purpose entity plus certain
expenses.  The  debt  and  equity financing outstanding as of December 31, 2002,
applicable  to  the owner of Deepwater Pathfinder and of Deepwater Frontier, was
$203  million  and  $217  million,  respectively. We, together with Conoco, have
guaranteed our respective share of each joint venture's obligations to pay these
amounts.

     The  scheduled expiration of the lease is December 2003, in the case of the
Deepwater  Pathfinder,  and  March  2004, in the case of the Deepwater Frontier.
Each  of  the  leases is subject to certain extension options of DD LLC and DDII
LLC,  respectively.  At  the  expiration  of  the leases, each joint venture may
purchase  the rig for $185 million, in the case of the Deepwater Pathfinder, and
$194  million,  in  the case of the Deepwater Frontier, or return the rig to the
special  purpose  entities.  If  a  joint venture purchases the rig, we would be
obligated  to  pay  only  the  portion  of  such  price  equal to our percentage
ownership interest in the applicable joint venture.  Our proportionate share for
each  such purchase option is $93 million and $116 million, respectively.  Under
each joint venture agreement, the consent of each venturer is generally required
to approve actions of the joint venture, including the exercise of this purchase
option.  If a joint venture returns the rig at the end of the lease, the special
purpose  entity  may sell the rig.  In connection with the return, DD LLC may be
required  to  pay  an amount up to $138 million, and DDII LLC may be required to
pay  an  amount  up  to  $145 million, plus certain expenses in each case. These
payments  may  be  reduced  by  a  portion  of  the  proceeds of the sale of the
applicable  rig.


                                      -44-

     These  leases  contain  ratings  triggers  that  are invoked only if we are
involved  in a change of control and the acquiror has a credit rating lower than
BBB  or Baa2.  Should these triggers be invoked, the acquiring company would, at
the  option  of  the investors, be obligated to pay our share of the outstanding
investments  under  the  leases.

SALE/LEASEBACK

     We  lease  the  M. G. Hulme, Jr. from Deep Sea Investors, L.L.C., a special
purpose  entity  formed by several leasing companies to acquire the rig from one
of  our  subsidiaries  in  November 1995 in a sale/leaseback transaction. We are
obligated  to  pay  rent  of approximately $13 million per year through December
2005. At the termination of the lease, we may purchase the rig for approximately
$35  million.  Effective  September  2002,  the  lease  neither  requires  that
collateral  be  maintained  nor  contains  any  credit  rating  triggers.

RELATED  PARTY  TRANSACTIONS

     Delta  Towing  -  In  connection with the R&B Falcon merger, TODCO formed a
joint  venture to own and operate its U.S. inland marine support vessel business
(the  "Marine  Business").  As  part  of  the joint venture formation in January
2001,  the  Marine  Business  was  transferred by a subsidiary of TODCO to Delta
Towing  LLC  ("Delta  Towing")  in  exchange for a 25 percent equity interest in
Delta  Towing  Holdings,  LLC,  the  parent of Delta Towing, and certain secured
notes  payable  from  Delta  Towing in a principal amount of $144 million. These
notes  were  valued  at  $80 million immediately prior to the closing of the R&B
Falcon merger. In December 2001, the note agreement was amended to provide for a
$4  million, three year-revolving credit facility (the "Delta Towing Revolver").

     As  part  of  the formation of the joint venture on January 31, 2001, TODCO
entered into a charter arrangement with Delta Towing under which we committed to
charter  certain  vessels  for a period of one year ending January 31, 2002, and
committed  to  charter  for  a  period  of  2.5  years  from date of delivery 10
crewboats then under construction, all of which have been placed into service as
of  March  1,  2003.  TODCO  also  entered into an alliance agreement with Delta
Towing  under  which we agreed to treat Delta Towing as a preferred supplier for
the  provision  of  marine  support  services.

     In  2002,  we incurred charges totaling $10.7 million from Delta Towing for
services  rendered, of which $1.6 million was rebilled to our customers and $9.1
million was reflected in operating and maintenance expense. As of March 1, 2003,
the  carrying  value  of  the  notes  was  $78.9  million  and  $3.9 million was
outstanding  under  the  Delta  Towing  Revolver.  In January 2003, Delta Towing
failed  to  make  its  scheduled  quarterly interest payment of $1.7 million. We
granted  a  90-day  waiver  of this payment. As of February 28, 2003, a total of
$2.7  million  unpaid  interest  was  outstanding.

     Delta  Towing  operates in the Gulf of Mexico in support of the oil and gas
industry  and  faces  similar market conditions as we do with our Gulf of Mexico
Shallow  and  Inland  Water  business segment. Should weakened market conditions
persist  or should market conditions deteriorate further, Delta Towing's ability
to  pay its debts to us as they come due may be adversely affected. A failure by
Delta  Towing  to service its debt obligations to us may result in an impairment
of  the  carrying  value  of  the  notes,  the Delta Towing Revolver and related
accrued  interest.

     DD  LLC  and DDII LLC - We are a party to drilling services agreements with
DD  LLC and DDII LLC for the operation of the Deepwater Pathfinder and Deepwater
Frontier,  respectively.  In  2002,  we  earned  $1.6  million for such drilling
services  from  each  of  DD  LLC  and  DDII  LLC.

     ODL  -  We  own  a  50  percent interest in an unconsolidated joint venture
company, Overseas Drilling Limited ("ODL").  ODL owns the Joides Resolution, for
which  we  provide  certain  operational  and  management services.  In 2002, we
earned  $1.2  million  for  those  services.

NEW  ACCOUNTING  PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In  July  2001,  the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") issued
SFAS  142,  Goodwill  and Other Intangible Assets, which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible
assets  with  indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed at least
annually  for  impairment.  The  amortization  provisions  of  SFAS 142 apply to
goodwill  and  intangible  assets  acquired after June 30, 2001. With respect to
goodwill  and  intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, we adopted SFAS
142 effective January 1, 2002 and selected October 1 as our annual test date for
impairment  of  goodwill. In conjunction with the adoption of this statement, we
discontinued  the  amortization of goodwill. Application of the non-amortization
provisions  of SFAS 142 for goodwill resulted in an increase in operating income
of  approximately  $155  million  in  2002.  During 2002, we recognized non-cash
impairment  charges  of $4.2 billion as a result of the adoption and application
of  this  statement.  See  Note  2  to  our  consolidated  financial statements.


                                      -45-

     In  August  2001,  the  FASB  issued SFAS 144, Accounting for Impairment or
Disposal  of  Long-Lived  Assets.  SFAS  144 supersedes SFAS 121, Accounting for
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, and
the  accounting  and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion
("APB")  30,  Reporting  the  Results  of  Operations - Reporting the Effects of
Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently
Occurring  Events  and  Transactions.  SFAS  144  retains  the  accounting  and
reporting  provisions  of SFAS 121 for recognition and measurement of long-lived
asset  impairment and for the measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of
by  sale  and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB 30.  In addition to
these  accounting  and  reporting  provisions,  SFAS  144  provides guidance for
determining  whether  long-lived  assets  should  be  tested  for impairment and
specific  criteria  for  classifying  assets to be disposed of as held for sale.
The  statement  is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
We adopted this statement as of January 1, 2002.  The adoption of this statement
had  no  material  effect  on  our consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

     In  April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4,  44,  and  64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.
This statement eliminates the requirement under SFAS 4 to aggregate and classify
all  gains  and losses from extinguishment of debt as an extraordinary item, net
of  related  income  tax  effect.  This statement also amends SFAS 13 to require
certain  lease  modifications  with  economic  effects similar to sale-leaseback
transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions.
In addition, SFAS 145 requires reclassification of gains and losses in all prior
periods  presented  in  comparative  financial  statements  related  to  debt
extinguishment  that  do not meet the criteria for extraordinary item in APB 30.
The  statement  is  effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002 with
early  adoption encouraged. We adopted SFAS 145 effective January 1, 2003. We do
not  expect  adoption  of  this  statement  to  have  a  material  effect on our
consolidated  financial  position  or  results  of  operations.

     In  July  2002,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  146,  Obligations Associated with
Disposal  Activities, which is effective for disposal activities initiated after
December  15,  2002,  with  early  application  encouraged.  SFAS  146 addresses
financial  accounting  and  reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal
activities  and  nullifies  Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity  (including  Certain  Costs  Incurred  in a Restructuring).  Under this
statement,  a  liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity
would  be  recognized  and measured at its fair value when it is incurred rather
than  at  the  date of commitment to an exit plan. Under SFAS 146, severance pay
would  be  recognized  over  time  rather  than  up  front  provided the benefit
arrangement  requires  employees  to  render  future  service  beyond  a minimum
retention  period,  which would be based on the legal notification period, or if
there  is  no  such  requirement,  60  days,  thereby allowing a liability to be
recorded  over  the  employees'  future  service  period. We will adopt SFAS 146
effective  with disposal activities initiated after December 15, 2002. We do not
expect  adoption of this statement to have a material effect on our consolidated
financial  position  or  results  of  operations.

     In  December  2002,  the  FASB  issued SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation  -  Transition  and Disclosure, which is effective for fiscal years
ending  after  December  15,  2002.  SFAS  148  amends  SFAS 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based  Compensation,  to  permit  two  additional transition methods for a
voluntary  change  to  the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based
employee  compensation  from  the  intrinsic method under APB 25, Accounting for
Stock  Issued  to Employees. The prospective method of transition under SFAS 123
is  an  option for entities adopting the recognition provisions of SFAS 123 in a
fiscal year beginning before December 15, 2003. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the
disclosure  requirements  of  SFAS  123 to require prominent disclosures in both
annual and interim financial statements concerning the method of accounting used
for stock-based employee compensation and the effects of that method on reported
results  of  operations. Under SFAS 148, pro forma disclosures are required in a
specific  tabular format in the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies". We
adopted  the  disclosure requirements of this statement as of December 31, 2002.
The  adoption had no effect on our consolidated financial position or results of
operations.  We  adopted  the  fair  value  method of accounting for stock-based
compensation using the prospective method of transition under SFAS 123 effective
January  1,  2003.  We  expect  compensation  expense  in  2003 will increase by
approximately $6 million as a result of adoption. See Note 2 to our consolidated
financial  statements.

     In  December  2002,  the FASB issued Interpretation ("FIN") 45, Guarantor's
Accounting  and  Disclosure  Requirements  for  Guarantees,  Including  Indirect
Guarantees  of  Indebtedness  of  Others.  FIN  45  requires  that at the time a
company  issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an initial liability for
the  fair  value,  or  market  value,  of  the obligations it assumes under that
guarantee.  This  interpretation  is  applicable  on  a  prospective  basis  to
guarantees  issued  or  modified  after  December  31,  2002.  We  do not expect
adoption  of  this  interpretation to have a material effect on our consolidated
financial  position  or  results  of  operations.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities.  FIN  46  requires  companies  with  a variable interest in a variable
interest entity to apply this guidance to that entity as of the beginning of the
first  interim  period  beginning after June 15, 2003 for existing interests and
immediately  for new interests.  The application of


                                      -46-

the guidance could result in the consolidation of a variable interest entity. We
are  evaluating  the impact of this interpretation on our consolidated financial
position  and  results  of  operations.

ITEM  7A.     QUANTITATIVE  AND  QUALITATIVE  DISCLOSURES  ABOUT  MARKET  RISK

INTEREST  RATE  RISK

     Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily
to  our  long-term  and  short-term  debt  obligations. The table below presents
scheduled  debt  maturities and related weighted-average interest rates for each
of  the  years ended December 31 relating to debt obligations as of December 31,
2002.  Weighted-average  variable rates are based on LIBOR rates at December 31,
2002,  plus  applicable  margins.

(a)     Maturity  dates  of the face value of our debt assumes the put options on the Zero Coupon Convertible
        Debentures,  1.5%  Convertible  Debentures  and  7.45%  Notes will be exercised in May 2003, May 2006
        and  April  2007,  respectively.
(b)     Expected maturity amounts are based on the face value of debt and do not reflect fair market value of
        debt.
(c)     The  6.625%,  6.75%,  6.95%  and  9.5% Notes are considered variable as a result of the interest rate
        swaps.  See  Notes  8  and  26  to  our  consolidated  financial  statements.


     At  December  31,  2002, we had approximately $1.9 billion of variable rate
debt  at  face  value (42 percent of total debt at face value). Of that variable
rate  debt,  $1.6  billion  resulted from interest rate swaps with the remainder
representing  term  bank  debt. Given outstanding amounts as of that date, a one
percent  rise  in  interest rates would result in an additional $14.5 million in
interest expense per year. Offsetting this, a large part of our cash investments
would  earn  commensurately higher rates of return. Using December 31, 2002 cash
investment  levels,  a  one  percent  increase in interest rates would result in
approximately  $12.1  million  of  additional interest income per year. Based on
December 31, 2002 balances, our net variable debt balance at face value, defined
as  variable  rate  debt  less  swap  receivables and cash and cash equivalents,
totaled  $504.7 million (16 percent of net total debt at face value). Because we
intend to pay debt with cash on hand, we use net debt and net variable rate debt
to represent debt that is anticipated to be paid with future cash flows. The net
debt  and net variable rate debt measure also allows us to measure the cash flow
that  has  been generated to date to fund our major obligations. We use variable
rate  debt  to  measure effects of changes in interest rates on interest expense
associated  with  outstanding  variable  rate  debt.

     The  components of net variable rate debt at face value were as follows (in
millions):

     As  a  result  of  the  January  2003  and  March  2003  interest rate swap
terminations  and  payment  of  variable rate debt of $0.2 million (see "Item 7.
Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition and Results of
Operations-Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources"),  our variable rate debt at face
value  decreased  to  $300.0  million.

FOREIGN  EXCHANGE  RISK

     Our  international  operations expose us to foreign exchange risk. We use a
variety  of  techniques  to  minimize the exposure to foreign exchange risk. Our
primary  foreign exchange risk management strategy involves structuring customer
contracts  to  provide  for payment in both U.S. dollars and local currency. The
payment  portion  denominated  in  local  currency is based on anticipated local
currency  requirements over the contract term. Due to various factors, including
local  banking laws, other statutory requirements, local currency convertibility
and  the  impact  of inflation on local costs, actual foreign exchange needs may
vary  from  those  anticipated  in  the customer contracts, resulting in partial
exposure  to  foreign  exchange  risk.  Fluctuations  in foreign currencies have
minimal  impact  on overall results. In situations where the primary strategy is
not  entirely  attainable, foreign exchange derivative instruments, specifically
foreign  exchange  forward  contracts  or spot purchases, may be used. We do not
enter  into  derivative  transactions  for speculative purposes. At December 31,
2002,  we  had  no  material  open  foreign  exchange  contracts.

     Venezuela has recently implemented foreign exchange controls that limit our
ability  to  convert  local currency into U.S. dollars and transfer excess funds
out  of  Venezuela.  Our  drilling  contracts  in  Venezuela  typically call for
payments  to  be made in local currency, even when the dayrate is denominated in
U.S.  dollars.  The  exchange controls could also result in an artificially high
value  being  placed  on  the  local  currency.

ITEM  8.     FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  AND  SUPPLEMENTARY  DATA




                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Transocean  Inc.

     We  have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Transocean
Inc.  and  Subsidiaries  as  of  December  31,  2002  and  2001, and the related
consolidated  statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and
cash  flows  for  each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002.
Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at
Item  15.  These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the
Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express an opinion on these
financial  statements  and  schedule  based  on  our  audits.

     We  conducted  our  audits  in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States.  Those standards 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.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as well as evaluating the overall
financial  statement  presentation.  We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable  basis  for  our  opinion.

     In  our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Transocean Inc.
and  Subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated results of
their  operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended  December  31,  2002  in  conformity  with accounting principles generally
accepted  in  the  United  States.  Also,  in our opinion, the related financial
statement  schedule,  when  considered  in  relation  to  the  basic  financial
statements  taken  as  a  whole,  presents  fairly  in all material respects the
information  set  forth  therein.

     As  discussed  in  Note  2  to  the  consolidated financial statements, the
Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial Accounting Standard 142, Goodwill and
Other  Intangible  Assets,  in  2002.

                     TRANSOCEAN INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE  1-NATURE  OF  BUSINESS  AND  PRINCIPLES  OF  CONSOLIDATION

     Transocean  Inc. (formerly known as "Transocean Sedco Forex Inc.", together
with  its  subsidiaries and predecessors, unless the context requires otherwise,
the "Company") is a leading international provider of offshore and inland marine
contract drilling services for oil and gas wells.  The Company's mobile offshore
drilling  fleet is considered one of the most modern and versatile fleets in the
world.  The  Company  specializes  in  technically  demanding  segments  of  the
offshore  drilling  business  with  a  particular  focus  on deepwater and harsh
environment  drilling  services.  At  December  31, 2002, the Company owned, had
partial  ownership  interests  in  or  operated  159  mobile  offshore and barge
drilling  units  that  it  considers to be its core assets. As of this date, the
Company's  core  assets  consisted of 31 high-specification semisubmersibles and
drillships  ("floaters"), 29 other floaters, 56 jackup rigs, 35 drilling barges,
five  tenders  and  three  submersible  drilling  rigs.  In  addition, the fleet
included  non-core  assets  consisting of a mobile offshore production unit, two
platform  drilling  rigs and a land rig as well as nine land rigs and three lake
barges  in Venezuela. The Company contracts its drilling rigs, related equipment
and  work  crews  primarily  on  a  dayrate  basis  to  drill oil and gas wells.

     On  January  31,  2001,  we completed a merger transaction (the "R&B Falcon
merger")  with  R&B Falcon Corporation ("R&B Falcon", now known as "TODCO").  At
the  time  of  the  merger,  TODCO  owned,  had  partial ownership interests in,
operated  or had under construction more than 100 mobile offshore drilling units
and  other  units  utilized in the support of offshore drilling activities. As a
result  of  the  merger, TODCO became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company.  The  merger  was  accounted  for as a purchase with the Company as the
accounting  acquiror.  The  consolidated  balance  sheet as of December 31, 2001
represents  the  financial  position  of  the  merged company.  The consolidated
statements  of operations and of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2001
include  11  months  of  operating  results  and  cash  flows  for  TODCO.

     Intercompany  transactions  and  accounts  have been eliminated. The equity
method  of  accounting  is  used  for  investments  in  joint ventures where the
Company's  ownership is between 20 percent and 50 percent and for investments in
joint  ventures  owned  more  than  50  percent  where the Company does not have
control  of  the  joint  venture.  The  cost  method  of  accounting is used for
investments  in  joint  ventures  where  the Company's ownership is less than 20
percent  and  the  Company  does  not  have  control  of  the  joint  venture.

requires  management  to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts  of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and disclosure of contingent
assets  and  liabilities.  On  an  ongoing  basis,  the  Company  evaluates  its
estimates,  including  those  related  to  bad  debts,  materials  and  supplies
obsolescence,  investments,  intangible  assets  and  goodwill,  property  and
equipment  and  other  long-lived  assets,  income  taxes, financing operations,
workers'  insurance,  pensions and other post-retirement and employment benefits
and  contingent  liabilities.  The  Company  bases  its  estimates on historical
experience  and  on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable
under  the  circumstances,  the  results  of  which  form  the  basis for making
judgments  about  the  carrying  values  of  assets and liabilities that are not
readily  apparent  from  other  sources.  Actual  results could differ from such
estimates.

     Segments-The  Company's operations have been aggregated into two reportable
business segments: (i) International and U.S. Floater Contract Drilling Services
and  (ii) Gulf of Mexico Shallow and Inland Water. The Company provides services
with  different  types of drilling equipment in several geographic regions.  The
location  of  the  Company's operating assets and the allocation of resources to
build  or  upgrade  drilling  units is determined by the activities and needs of
customers.  See  Note  20.

     Cash  and Cash Equivalents-Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued
interest, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents are highly liquid debt
instruments with an original maturity of three months or less and may consist of
time  deposits  with  a  number  of  commercial  banks with high credit ratings,
Eurodollar  time  deposits,  certificates  of deposit and commercial paper.  The
Company may also invest excess funds in no-load, open-end, management investment
trusts  ("mutual  funds").  The  mutual funds invest exclusively in high quality
money  market  instruments.  Generally,  the  maturity  date  of  the  Company's
investments  is  the  next  business  day.

     As  a  result  of  the  Deepwater  Nautilus  project financing in 1999, the
Company is required to maintain in cash an amount to cover certain principal and
interest  payments.  Such  restricted  cash,  classified  as other assets in the
consolidated  balance  sheets,  was $13.2 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001.

     Accounts  and  Notes Receivable-Accounts receivable trade are stated at the
historical carrying amount net of write-offs and allowance for doubtful accounts
receivable. Interest receivable on delinquent accounts receivable is included in
the  accounts  receivable  trade  balance and recognized as interest income when
chargeable  and collectibility is reasonably assured. Notes receivable, included
in  investments in and advances to joint ventures, are carried at the historical
carrying  amount net of write-offs and allowance for loan loss.  Interest income
on  notes receivable, which is included in accounts receivable-other, is accrued
and  recognized  as interest income monthly on any unimpaired loan balance.  The
Company's  notes  receivable  do  not have premiums or discounts associated with
their  balances.  Uncollectible  notes and accounts receivable trade are written
off when a settlement is reached for an amount that is less than the outstanding
historical  balance.

     Allowance  for  Doubtful  Accounts-The Company establishes an allowance for
doubtful  accounts  receivable  on  a  case-by-case  basis  when it believes the
required  payment of specific amounts owed is unlikely to occur.  This allowance
was  approximately  $21  million  and $24 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively.  An  allowance  for  loan  loss  is  established  when  events  or
circumstances  indicate  that  both the contractual interest and principal for a
note receivable are not fully collectible.  A loan is considered delinquent when
principal  and/or  interest  payments  have not been made in accordance with the
payment  terms  of  the  loan.  Collectibility  is determined based on estimated
future  cash  flows  discounted at the respective loan's effective interest rate
with  the excess of the loan's total contractual interest and principal over the
estimated  discounted  future cash flows recorded as an allowance for loan loss.
There  was  no  allowance  for  loan  loss  at  December  31,  2002  and  2001.

     Materials  and  Supplies-Materials and supplies are carried at the lower of
average  cost  or market less an allowance for obsolescence.  Such allowance was
approximately  $19  million  and  $24  million  at  December  31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively.

     Property  and  Equipment-Property  and  equipment,  consisting primarily of
offshore  drilling  rigs and related equipment, represented more than 60 percent
of  the  Company's  total  assets  at December 31, 2002.  The carrying values of
these  assets  are  based  on  estimates,  assumptions and judgments relative to
capitalized costs, useful lives and salvage values of the Company's rigs.  These
estimates,  assumptions  and  judgments  reflect  both historical experience and
expectations  regarding future industry conditions and operations.  Property and
equipment  obtained  in the R&B Falcon merger (see Note 4) were recorded at fair
value.  The  Company generally provides for depreciation using the straight-line
method  after  allowing  for  salvage  values.  Expenditures  for  renewals,
replacements  and  improvements  are  capitalized.  Maintenance  and repairs are
charged  to  operating expense as incurred.  Upon sale or other disposition, the
applicable  amounts  of asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from
the  accounts  and  the  net  amount, less proceeds from disposal, is charged or
credited  to  income.

     As  a  result  of the R&B Falcon merger, the Company conformed its policies
relating  to  estimated  rig lives and salvage values. Estimated useful lives of
its drilling units now range from 18 to 35 years, reflecting maintenance history
and  market  demand for these drilling units, buildings and improvements from 10
to  30  years  and  machinery and equipment from four to 12 years.  Depreciation
expense  for  the  year ended December 31, 2001 was reduced by approximately $23
million  ($0.07  per  diluted  share)  as a result of conforming these policies.

     Assets  Held  for  Sale-Assets  are  classified  as  held for sale when the
Company has a plan for disposal of certain assets and those assets meet the held
for  sale  criteria  of  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board's ("FASB")
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  144,  Accounting  for
Impairment  or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Prior to the Company's adoption of
SFAS  144 (see "-New Accounting Pronouncements"), certain assets were classified
as  held for sale under SFAS 121, Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and  for  Long-Lived  Assets  to  be  Disposed of. Effective with the R&B Falcon
merger,  the  Company  established  a  plan  to  sell  certain  assets that were
considered  non-core  to  the  Company's  business with the disposition of these
assets  expected to complete by December 31, 2002. These assets included certain
drilling  rigs,  surplus equipment and an office building. At December 31, 2001,
the  Company  had assets held for sale in the amount of $148.4 million that were
included  in  other  assets of which $105.3 million and $43.1 million related to
the International and U.S. Floater Contract Drilling Services and Gulf of Mexico
Shallow  and  Inland  Water  segments,  respectively.  At December 31, 2002, the
Company  had  either  disposed  of these non-core assets or reclassified them to
property  and  equipment  in  accordance  with  SFAS  144.

     Goodwill-Prior  to  the adoption of SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets  (see "-New Accounting Pronouncements"), the excess of the purchase price
over  the  estimated  fair  value  of  net  assets acquired was accounted for as
goodwill and was amortized on a straight-line basis based on a 40-year life. The
amortization  period  was based on the nature of the offshore drilling industry,
long-lived  drilling  equipment  and  the  long-standing relationships with core
customers. In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is tested at the reporting unit
level,  which  is defined as an operating segment or a component of an operating
segment that constitutes a business for which financial information is available
and  is  regularly

                                      -58-

                     TRANSOCEAN INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

reviewed  by  management. Management has determined that the Company's reporting
units  are  the  same  as  its  operating segments for the purpose of allocating
goodwill  and  the  subsequent  testing of goodwill for impairment. Goodwill was
allocated  to  the Company's two reporting units, International and U.S. Floater
Contract  Drilling  Services  and  Gulf of Mexico Shallow and Inland Water, at a
ratio  of 68 percent and 32 percent, respectively. The allocation was determined
based  on  the  percentage  of each reporting unit's assets at fair value to the
total fair value of assets acquired in the R&B Falcon merger. The fair value was
determined  from  a  third  party  valuation.

     During  the  first  quarter  of  2002, the Company implemented SFAS 142 and
performed the initial test of impairment of goodwill on its two reporting units.
The  test  was applied utilizing the estimated fair value of the reporting units
as of January 1, 2002 determined based on a combination of each reporting unit's
discounted  cash  flows  and  publicly  traded company multiples and acquisition
multiples  of  comparable  businesses.  There was no goodwill impairment for the
International  and  U.S.  Floater  Contract  Drilling  Services  reporting unit.
However, because of deterioration in market conditions that affected the Gulf of
Mexico Shallow and Inland Water business segment since the completion of the R&B
Falcon  merger,  a  $1,363.7  million  ($4.27  per  diluted share) impairment of
goodwill  was  recognized  as  a  cumulative  effect  of  a change in accounting
principle  in  the  first  quarter  of  2002.

     During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company performed its annual test of
goodwill  impairment  as  of  October  1.  Due  to  a  general decline in market
conditions,  the  Company  recorded  a  non-cash  impairment  charge of $2,876.0
million  ($9.01  per diluted share) of which $2,494.1 million and $381.9 million
related  to  the  International  and U.S. Floater Contract Drilling Services and
Gulf  of  Mexico  Shallow  and  Inland  Water  reporting  units,  respectively.

     The  Company's  goodwill  balance,  after  giving  effect  to  the goodwill
write-downs,  is  $2.2  billion  as  of  December  31, 2002.  The changes in the
carrying  amount  of  goodwill  are  as  follows  (in  millions):

     Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets-The carrying value of long-lived assets,
principally  goodwill  and  property  and  equipment,  is reviewed for potential
impairment  when  events  or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount  of  such assets may not be recoverable.  For property and equipment held
for  use,  the  determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated
undiscounted future net cash flows of the related asset or group of assets being
evaluated.  Property  and  equipment  held for sale are recorded at the lower of
net  book  value  or net realizable value. See Note 7. Prior to January 1, 2002,
recoverability  of  goodwill  was  determined  based  upon  a  comparison of the
Company's  net  book  value  to  the  value indicated by the market price of its
equity securities (see "-Goodwill" and "-New Accounting Pronouncements").

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

     Operating  Revenues  and  Expenses-Operating  revenues  are  recognized  as
earned,  based  on  contractual daily rates or on a fixed price basis.  Although
the  Company ceased providing turnkey drilling services in 2001, turnkey profits
were  recognized  on  completion  of  the  well  and acceptance by the customer.
Events  occurring  after  the  date  of  the financial statements and before the
financial  statements  are  issued  that are within the normal exposure and risk
aspects  of  the  turnkey contracts are considered refinements of the estimation
process  of  the  prior  year and are recorded as adjustments at the date of the
financial  statements.  Provisions  for losses are made on contracts in progress
when  losses are anticipated. In connection with drilling contracts, the Company
may receive revenues for preparation and mobilization of equipment and personnel
or  for  capital  improvements  to  rigs.  In  connection  with  contracted
mobilizations,  revenues  earned  and  related  costs  incurred are deferred and
recognized  over  the  primary  contract term of the drilling project.  Costs of
relocating  drilling  units without contracts to more promising market areas are
expensed  as incurred. Upon completion of drilling contracts, any demobilization
fees  received  are  reflected  in income, as are any related expenses.  Capital
upgrade  revenues received are deferred and recognized over the primary contract
term  of the drilling project.  The actual cost incurred for the capital upgrade
is  depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset.  The Company incurs
periodic  survey  and  drydock  costs  in  connection  with obtaining regulatory
certification  to  operate  its rigs on an ongoing basis.  Costs associated with
these  certifications  are deferred and amortized over the period until the next
survey.

     Capitalized  Interest-Interest  costs  for  the construction and upgrade of
qualifying  assets are capitalized.  The Company incurred total interest expense
of $212.0 million, $258.8 million and $89.6 million for the years ended December
31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company capitalized interest costs on
construction  work  in progress of $34.9 million and $86.6 million for the years
ended  December  31,  2001  and  2000,  respectively.  No  interest  cost  was
capitalized  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2002.

     Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-The Company adopted SFAS 133,
Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities as of January 1,
2001. Because of the Company's limited use of derivatives to manage its exposure
to  fluctuations  in  foreign  currency  exchange  rates and interest rates, the
adoption  of  the  new  statement  had  no  effect  on  the Company's results of
operations  or  consolidated  financial  position.  See  Note  9.

     Foreign  Currency  Translation-The  Company  accounts  for  translation  of
foreign  currency  in accordance with SFAS 52, Foreign Currency Translation. The
majority  of  the  Company's  revenues  and expenditures are denominated in U.S.
dollars  to  limit  the  Company's  exposure  to  foreign currency fluctuations,
resulting  in  the  use of the U.S. dollar as the functional currency for all of
the  Company's  operations.  Foreign  currency  exchange  gains  and  losses are
included  in  other  income  (expense)  as incurred.  Net foreign currency gains
(losses)  were  $(0.5)  million,  $1.1 million, and $(1.4) million for the years
ended  December  31,  2002,  2001  and  2000,  respectively.

     Income  Taxes-Income  taxes  have been provided based upon the tax laws and
rates  in  the countries in which operations are conducted and income is earned.
The  income  tax  rates  imposed by these taxing authorities vary substantially.
Taxable income may differ from pre-tax income for financial accounting purposes.
There  is  no  expected  relationship between the provision for income taxes and
income  before  income  taxes  because  the  countries  have  different taxation
regimes,  which  vary not only with respect to nominal rate but also in terms of
the  availability  of  deductions,  credits  and other benefits. Variations also
arise because income earned and taxed in any particular country or countries may
fluctuate  from  period  to  period.  Deferred  tax  assets  and liabilities are
recognized  for  the  anticipated  future  tax  effects of temporary differences
between  the financial statement basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets
and  liabilities  using  the  applicable  tax  rates  in  effect at year end.  A
valuation  allowance  for deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely
than  not  that, some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not
be  realized.  See  Note  15.

     Stock-Based  Compensation-In  accordance  with  the provisions of SFAS 123,
Accounting  for  Stock-Based Compensation, the Company had elected to follow the
Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion ("APB") 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees,  and  related  interpretations  in  accounting  for  its  employee
stock-based  compensation  plans through December 31, 2002 (see "-New Accounting
Pronouncements").  Under  the  intrinsic value method of APB 25, if the exercise
price  of  employee  stock  options  equals  or  exceeds  the  fair value of the
underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. If
an  employee stock option is modified subsequent to the original grant date, and
the  exercise  price  is less than the fair value of the underlying stock on the
date  of  the modification, compensation expense equal to the excess of the fair
value  over  the exercise price is recognized over the remaining vesting period.
Compensation  expense for grants of restricted shares to employees is calculated
based  on  the  fair  value of the shares on the date of grant and is recognized
over  the  vesting  period.  Stock  appreciation  rights are considered variable
grants  and  are  recorded  at  fair value, with the change in the recorded fair
value  recognized  as  compensation  expense.  The  Company  did  not  record
compensation  expense  related to its employee Stock Purchase Plan. See Note 17.

     If  compensation  expense  for grants to employees under the Incentive Plan
and  the  Stock  Purchase  Plan  for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and
2000,  were  recognized using the fair value method of accounting under SFAS 123
rather  than  the  intrinsic  value  method  under APB 25, net income (loss) and
earnings  (loss)  per  share  would  have  been reduced to the pro forma amounts

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

     New  Accounting  Pronouncements-In  July  2001,  the  FASB issued SFAS 142,
Goodwill  and  Other  Intangible  Assets,  which  is  effective for fiscal years
beginning  after  December  12,  2001.  Under  SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible
assets  with  indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed at least
annually  for  impairment.  The  amortization  provisions  of  SFAS 142 apply to
goodwill  and  intangible  assets  acquired after June 30, 2001. With respect to
goodwill  and  intangible  assets  acquired  prior  to July 1, 2001, the Company
adopted  SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002 and selected October 1 as its annual
test  date  for impairment of goodwill. In conjunction with the adoption of this
statement,  the  Company  has  discontinued  the  amortization  of  goodwill.
Application of the non-amortization provisions of SFAS 142 for goodwill resulted
in  an  increase  in  operating  income of approximately $155 million ($0.49 per
diluted  share) in 2002.  During 2002, we recognized non-cash impairment charges
of  $4.2  billion  ($13.29  per  diluted  share) as a result of the adoption and
application  of  this  statement.  See  "-Goodwill".

     In  August  2001,  the  FASB  issued SFAS 144, Accounting for Impairment or
Disposal  of  Long-Lived  Assets.  SFAS  144 supersedes SFAS 121, Accounting for
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, and
the  accounting  and  reporting  provisions  of APB 30, Reporting the Results of
Operations  -  Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions.  SFAS
144  retains the accounting and reporting provisions of SFAS 121 for recognition
and  measurement  of  long-lived  asset  impairment  and  for the measurement of
long-lived  assets  to  be  disposed of by sale and the accounting and reporting
provisions  of  APB  30.  In  addition to these fundamental provisions, SFAS 144
provides guidance for determining whether long-lived assets should be tested for
impairment  and  specific  criteria  for classifying assets to be disposed of as
held  for  sale.  The  statement  is  effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001. The Company adopted the statement as of January 1, 2002.  The
adoption  of this statement had no material effect on the Company's consolidated
financial  position  or  results  of  operations.  See  Note  7.

     In  April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4,  44,  and  64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.
This statement eliminates the requirement under SFAS 4 to aggregate and classify
all  gains  and losses from extinguishment of debt as an extraordinary item, net
of  related  income  tax  effect.  This statement also amends SFAS 13 to require
certain  lease  modifications  with  economic  effects similar to sale-leaseback
transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions.
In addition, SFAS 145 requires reclassification of gains and losses in all prior
periods  presented  in  comparative  financial  statements  related  to  debt
extinguishment  that  do not meet the criteria for extraordinary item in APB 30.
The  statement  is  effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002 with
early  adoption encouraged. The Company will adopt SFAS 145 effective January 1,
2003.  Management  does not expect adoption of this statement to have a material
effect  on  the  Company's  consolidated  financial  position  or  results  of
operations.

     In  July  2002,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  146,  Obligations Associated with
Disposal  Activities, which is effective for disposal activities initiated after
December  15,  2002,  with  early  application  encouraged.  SFAS  146 addresses
financial  accounting  and  reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal
activities  and  nullifies  Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity  (including  Certain  Costs  Incurred  in a Restructuring).  Under this
statement,  a  liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity
would  be  measured  and recognized at its fair value when it is incurred rather
than  at  the  date of commitment to an exit plan.  Also, severance pay would be
recognized  over  time  rather  than  up  front provided the benefit arrangement
requires  employees  to render future service beyond a minimum retention period,
which  would  be  based on the legal notification period, or if there is no such
requirement,  60  days,  thereby  allowing  a  liability to be recorded over the
employees'  future  service  period.  The  Company will adopt SFAS 146 effective
with  disposal activities initiated after December 15, 2002. Management does not
expect  adoption  of  this  statement to have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated  financial  position  or  results  of  operations.

     In  December  2002,  the  FASB  issued SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation  -  Transition  and Disclosure, which is effective for fiscal years
ending  after  December  15,  2002.  SFAS  148  amends  SFAS  123  to permit two
additional  transition  methods  for  a voluntary change to the fair value based
method  of  accounting  for stock-based employee compensation from the intrinsic
method  under  APB 25. The prospective method of transition under SFAS 123 is an
option  for entities adopting the recognition provisions of SFAS 123 in a fiscal
year  beginning  before  December  15,  2003.  In  addition, SFAS 148 amends the
disclosure  requirements  of  SFAS  123 to require prominent disclosures in both
annual and interim financial statements concerning the method of accounting used
for stock-based employee compensation and the effects of that method on reported
results  of  operations. Under SFAS 148, pro forma disclosures are required in a
specific tabular format in the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies". The
Company adopted the disclosure requirements of this statement as of December 31,
2002.  The  adoption  had  no  effect  on  the  Company's consolidated financial
position  or results of operations. The Company adopted the fair value method of
accounting  for  stock-based  compensation  using  the  prospective  method  of
transition

                     TRANSOCEAN INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

under  SFAS  123  effective  January  1,  2003.  Management expects compensation
expense  in 2003 will increase approximately $6 million as a result of adoption.
See  "-Stock-Based  Compensation".

     In  December  2002,  the FASB issued Interpretation ("FIN") 45, Guarantor's
Accounting  and  Disclosure  Requirements  for  Guarantees,  Including  Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. FIN 45 requires that at the time a company
issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an initial liability for the fair
value,  or  market  value,  of  the obligations it assumes under that guarantee.
This interpretation is applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or
modified  after  December 31, 2002.  The Company does not anticipate adoption of
this interpretation will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial
position  and  results  of  operations.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities.  FIN  46  requires  companies  with  a variable interest in a variable
interest entity to apply this guidance to that entity as of the beginning of the
first  interim  period  beginning after June 15, 2003 for existing interests and
immediately  for new interests.  The application of the guidance could result in
the  consolidation of a variable interest entity.  The Company is evaluating the
impact of this interpretation on its consolidated financial position and results
of  operations.

     Reclassifications-Certain  reclassifications have been made to prior period
amounts  to  conform  with  the  current  year  presentation.

     Deepwater Drilling L.L.C. ("DD LLC"), an unconsolidated subsidiary in which
the  Company  has a 50% ownership interest, has entered into interest rate swaps
with aggregate market values netting to a $6.7 million liability at December 31,
2002.  The  Company's interest in these swaps is recorded as other comprehensive
loss  related  to  unconsolidated  joint  venture.

NOTE  4-BUSINESS  COMBINATION

     On  January  31,  2001, the Company completed a merger transaction with R&B
Falcon,  now  known  as "TODCO", in which an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of
the  Company  merged  with  and  into R&B Falcon. As a result of the merger, R&B
Falcon  common  shareholders  received  0.5  newly issued ordinary shares of the
Company  for each R&B Falcon share. The Company issued approximately 106 million
ordinary  shares in exchange for the issued and outstanding shares of R&B Falcon
and  assumed  warrants  and  options  exercisable  for  approximately 13 million
ordinary  shares.  The  ordinary  shares  issued  in exchange for the issued and
outstanding  shares  of  R&B  Falcon constituted approximately 33 percent of the
Company's  outstanding  ordinary  shares  after  the  merger.

     The  Company  accounted  for  the  merger  using  the  purchase  method  of
accounting  with  the  Company  treated as the accounting acquiror. The purchase
price  of  $6.7 billion was comprised of the calculated market capitalization of
the  Company's  ordinary  shares issued at the time of merger with R&B Falcon of
$6.1  billion  and  the  estimated  fair  value  of R&B Falcon stock options and
warrants at the time of the merger of $0.6 billion. The market capitalization of
the  Company's  ordinary  shares issued was calculated using the average closing
price of the Company's ordinary shares for a period immediately before and after
August  21,  2000,  the  date  the  merger  was  announced.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

     The  purchase  price included, at estimated fair value at January 31, 2001,
current  assets  of  $672  million, drilling and other property and equipment of
$4,010  million,  other  assets  of  $160  million and the assumption of current
liabilities of $338 million, other net long-term liabilities of $242 million and
long-term  debt  of  $3,206  million.  The excess of the purchase price over the
estimated  fair  value  of  net  assets  acquired  was $5,630 million, which was
accounted  for as goodwill and is reviewed for impairment annually in accordance
with  SFAS  142.  See  Note  2.

     In  conjunction  with  the  R&B  Falcon  merger,  the Company established a
liability  of $16.5 million for the estimated severance-related costs associated
with  the  involuntary  termination  of  569  R&B  Falcon  employees pursuant to
management's  plan  to  consolidate  operations  and  administrative  functions
post-merger.  Included  in  the  569  planned  involuntary terminations were 387
employees  engaged  in  the  Company's  land drilling business in Venezuela. The
Company has suspended active marketing efforts to divest this business and, as a
result, the estimated liability was reduced by $4.3 million in the third quarter
of  2001  with  an  offset to goodwill.  Through December 31, 2002, all required
severance-related  costs  were  paid  to  182  employees  whose  positions  were
eliminated  as  a  result  of  this  plan.

     Unaudited  pro  forma  combined  operating results of the Company and TODCO
assuming  the  R&B  Falcon  merger was completed as of January 1, 2001 and 2000,
respectively,  are  as  follows  (in  millions,  except  per  share  data):

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

     In  December  2001, in the International and U.S. Floater Contract Drilling
Services  segment,  the  Company sold RBF FPSO L.P., which owned the Seillean, a
multi-purpose  service  vessel.  The Company received net proceeds from the sale
of  $85.6  million and recorded a net after-tax gain of $17.1 million ($0.05 per
diluted  share)  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2001.

     In  February  2001, in the International and U.S. Floater Contract Drilling
Services  segment,  Sea  Wolf  Drilling Limited ("Sea Wolf"), a joint venture in
which  the  Company  holds a 25 percent interest, sold two semisubmersible rigs,
the  Drill  Star  and  Sedco Explorer, to Pride International, Inc. In the first
quarter of 2001, the Company recognized accelerated amortization of the deferred
gain  related  to the Sedco Explorer of $18.5 million ($0.06 per diluted share),
which  was included in gain from sale of assets.  The Company's bareboat charter
with  Sea  Wolf  on  the Sedco Explorer was terminated effective June 2000.  The
Company  continued  to operate the Drill Star, which was renamed the Pride North
Atlantic,  under  a bareboat charter agreement until October 2001, at which time
the  rig  was  returned  to  its  owner.  The  amortization  of the Drill Star's
deferred  gain  was  accelerated and produced incremental gains in 2001 of $36.3
million  ($0.12  per  diluted  share),  which  was  included  as  a reduction in
operating  and  maintenance  expense.

     During  the  year  ended  December 31, 2001, the Company sold certain other
assets acquired in the R&B Falcon merger and certain other assets held for sale.
The  Company received net proceeds of approximately $116.1 million, and recorded
net  after-tax  gains of $5.1 million ($0.02 per diluted share) and $3.8 million
($0.01 million per diluted share) in its International and U.S. Floater Contract
Drilling  Services  and  Gulf  of  Mexico  Shallow  and  Inland  Water segments,
respectively.

     In  July  2000,  the  Company  sold  a  semisubmersible rig, the Transocean
Discoverer.  Net  proceeds  from  the  sale of the rig totaled $42.7 million and
recognized  a  net  after-tax  gain of $9.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share.

     In  February  2000,  the  Company  sold its coiled tubing drilling services
business  to  Schlumberger  Limited  ("Schlumberger"). The net proceeds from the
sale  were  $24.9  million  and  no gain or loss was recognized on the sale. The
Company's  interests  in  its  Transocean-Nabors  Drilling  Technology  LLC  and
DeepVision  LLC  joint  ventures  were  excluded  from  the  sale.

NOTE  7-IMPAIRMENT  LOSS  ON  LONG-LIVED  ASSETS

     In  2002, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $28.5 million
($0.09  per  diluted  share)  and $16.3 million ($0.05 per diluted share) in its
International  and  U.S.  Floater  Contract Drilling Services and Gulf of Mexico
Shallow  and  Inland  Water  segments,  respectively,  relating  to  the
reclassification of assets held for sale to assets held and used. The impairment
of  these  assets  resulted from management's assessment that they no longer met
the  held  for  sale  criteria  under SFAS 144. In accordance with SFAS 144, the
carrying value of these assets was adjusted to the lower of fair market value or
carrying  value  adjusted  for  depreciation  from  the  date  the  assets  were
classified  as  held for sale. The fair market values of these assets were based
on  third  party  valuations.

     During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company performed its annual test of
goodwill  impairment  as  of  October  1,  2002.  As a result of that test and a
general  decline in market conditions, the Company recorded non-cash impairments
of  $2,494.1  million  ($7.82  per  diluted share) and $381.9 million ($1.20 per
diluted  share) in its International and U.S. Floater Contract Drilling Services
and  Gulf of Mexico Shallow and Inland Water segments, respectively. See Note 2.

     In  2002,  the  Company  recorded  non-cash  impairment  charges  in  its
International and U.S. Contract Drilling Services and Gulf of Mexico Shallow and
Inland Water segments of $5.5 million ($0.02 per diluted share) and $1.1 million
relating  to  assets  held for sale, which resulted from deterioration in market
conditions. The impairments were determined and measured based on an estimate of
fair  value  derived  from  offers  from  potential  buyers.

     During  the  fourth  quarter  2001, the Company recorded noncash impairment
charges  in  its  International  and U.S. Floater Contract Drilling Services and
Gulf  of  Mexico  Shallow  and Inland Water segments of $39.4 million ($0.13 per
diluted  share)  and  $1.0 million, respectively.  In the International and U.S.
Floater  Contract  Drilling  Services  segment, the impairment related to assets
held  for  sale  and  certain non-core assets held and used of $27.6 million and
$11.8  million,  respectively.  In  the  Gulf of Mexico Shallow and Inland Water
segment, the impairment related to certain non-core assets held and used of $1.0
million.  The impairments resulted from deterioration in market conditions.  The
methodology  used  in  determining  the  fair  market value included third-party
appraisals  and industry experience for non-core assets held and used and offers
from  potential  buyers  for  assets  held  for  sale.

     Commercial  Paper  Program-The Company has two revolving credit agreements,
described  below,  which  provide liquidity for commercial paper borrowings.  At
December  31,  2002,  no  amounts  were  outstanding  under the Commercial Paper
Program.

                     TRANSOCEAN INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

     Revolving  Credit Agreements-The Company is a party to two revolving credit
agreements  (together  the  "Revolving  Credit  Agreements"),  a  $550.0 million
five-year  revolving  credit agreement (the "Five-Year Revolver") dated December
29,  2000  and a $250.0 million 364-day revolving credit agreement (the "364-Day
Revolver")  dated  December  26,  2002.  The  Revolving  Credit  Agreements bear
interest,  at  the  Company's option, at a base rate or London Interbank Offered
Rate  ("LIBOR")  plus a margin that can vary from 0.180 percent to 0.700 percent
under  the  Five-Year Revolver and from 0.190 percent to 0.725 percent under the
364-Day Revolver depending on the Company's non-credit enhanced senior unsecured
public  debt  rating.  At  December  31,  2002,  the  Five-Year Revolver and the
364-Day  Revolver  margins  were  0.45  percent and 0.475 percent, respectively.
Facility  fees  varying  from 0.070 percent to 0.200 percent under the Five-Year
Revolver  and  from  0.060  percent to 0.175 percent under the 364-Day Revolver,
depending  on  the  Company's  non-credit  enhanced senior unsecured public debt
rating,  are  incurred on the daily amount of the underlying commitment, whether
used  or unused, throughout the term of the facility.  At December 31, 2002, the
facility  fees on the Five-Year Revolver and 364-Day Revolver were 0.125 percent
and  0.100  percent, respectively.  A utilization fee varying from 0.075 percent
to  0.150  percent,  depending  on  the  Company's  non-credit  enhanced  senior
unsecured  public  debt  rating,  is  payable  if  amounts outstanding under the
Five-Year  Revolver  or  the 364-Day Revolver are greater than $181.5 million or
$82.5  million, respectively.  The Revolving Credit Agreements contain covenants
similar  to  those  contained  in the Term Loan Agreement described below. There
were  no  amounts  outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreements at December
31,  2002.

     Term  Loan Agreement-The  Company is a party to a $400.0 million amortizing
unsecured  five-year term loan agreement dated as of December 16, 1999.  Amounts
outstanding  under  the  Term  Loan  Agreement  bear  interest, at the Company's
option,  at  a base rate or LIBOR plus a margin that can vary from 0.350 percent
to 1.475 percent depending on the Company's senior unsecured public debt rating.
At  December 31, 2002, the margin was 0.70 percent per annum.  The debt began to
amortize in March 2002, at a rate of $25.0 million per quarter in 2002.  In 2003
and  2004,  the  debt  amortizes  at a rate of $37.5 million per quarter.  As of
December  31,  2002,  $300.0  million  was  outstanding  under  this  agreement.

     The  Term  Loan  Agreement  and  the  Revolving  Credit  Agreements require
compliance  with  various  covenants  and provisions customary for agreements of
this  nature,  including  an  interest  coverage ratio, as defined by the credit
agreement,  of  not  less  than  three to one, a debt to total capital ratio, as
defined by the credit agreement, of not greater than 40 percent, and limitations
on  creating liens, incurring debt, transactions with affiliates, sale/leaseback
transactions  and  mergers and sale of substantially all assets.  In calculating
the  debt to total capital ratio, the credit agreements specifically exclude the
impact  on total capital of all non-cash goodwill impairment charges recorded in
compliance  with  SFAS  142  (see  Note  2).

     6.5%,  6.75%,  6.95%,  7.375%,  9.125%  and 9.5%  Senior Notes and Exchange
Offer-In  April  1998,  TODCO  issued 6.5%, 6.75%, 6.95% and 7.375% Senior Notes
with  an  aggregate  principal  amount  of $1.1 billion. In December 1998, TODCO
issued  9.125%  Senior  Notes  and 9.5% Senior Notes with an aggregate principal
amount  of  $400.0  million.  Each  of these notes was recorded at fair value on
January  31,  2001  as part of the R&B Falcon merger.  The 6.75%, 6.95%, 7.375%,
9.125%  and  9.5%  Senior  Notes  are  redeemable  at  the Company's option at a
make-whole  premium.  The  6.5% Senior Notes are not redeemable at the Company's
option.

     In  March  2002,  the  Company  completed  exchange  offers  and  consent
solicitations  for  TODCO's  6.5%,  6.75%, 6.95%, 7.375%, 9.125% and 9.5% Senior
Notes  (the  "Exchange Offer"). As a result of the Exchange Offer, approximately
$234.5  million,  $342.3 million, $247.8 million, $246.5 million, $76.9 million,
and  $289.8  million principal amount of TODCO's outstanding 6.5%, 6.75%, 6.95%,
7.375%,  9.125%  and  9.5%  Senior  Notes,  respectively, were exchanged for the
Company's  newly issued 6.5%, 6.75%, 6.95%, 7.375%, 9.125% and 9.5% Senior Notes
having  the  same  principal amount, interest rate, redemption terms and payment
and  maturity dates (and accruing interest from the last date for which interest
had  been  paid  on  the  TODCO  notes).  Because  the  holders of a majority in
principal  amount  of  each  of  these series of notes consented to the proposed
amendments  to the applicable indenture pursuant to which the notes were issued,
some  covenants,  restrictions  and  events  of default were eliminated from the
indentures  with  respect  to  these  series of notes. After the Exchange Offer,
approximately  $5.0  million,  $7.7  million,  $2.2 million, $3.5 million, $10.2
million  and  $10.2  million  principal  amount  of the outstanding 6.5%, 6.75%,
6.95%,  7.375%, 9.125% and 9.5% Senior Notes, respectively, not exchanged remain
the  obligation  of  TODCO.  These  notes  are  combined  with  the notes of the
corresponding  series  issued  by  the Company in the above table. In connection
with  the Exchange Offer, TODCO paid $8.3 million in consent payments to holders
of  TODCO's  notes  whose  notes  were exchanged. The consent payments are being
amortized  as  an  increase  to  interest expense over the remaining term of the
respective  notes.  As  a  result  of  the amortization of the consent payments,
interest  expense  for  2002  increased  by  $1.3  million.

     At December 31, 2002,  approximately $239.5 million, $350.0 million, $250.0
million,  $250.0  million,  $87.1 million and $300.0 million principal amount of
both  the  Company's  and  TODCO's  6.5%,  6.75%, 6.95%, 7.375%, 9.125% and 9.5%
Senior  Notes,  respectively,  were  outstanding. The fair value of these Senior
Notes  at  December  31,  2002 was approximately

$242.3  million,  $375.6  million, $283.8 million, $279.2 million, $92.5 million
and $383.2 million, respectively, based on the estimated yield to maturity as of
that  date.

     The  Company  entered into interest rate swaps relating to the 6.75%, 6.95%
and  9.5%  Senior  Notes.  See  Note  10.

     1.5%  Convertible Debentures-In May 2001, the Company issued $400.0 million
aggregate  principal  amount  of  1.5% Convertible Debentures due May 2021.  The
Company  has  the  right  to  redeem the debentures after five years for a price
equal to 100 percent of the principal.  Each holder has the right to require the
Company  to repurchase the debentures after five, 10 and 15 years at 100 percent
of  the principal amount.  The Company may pay this repurchase price with either
cash  or  ordinary  shares  or  a  combination of cash and ordinary shares.  The
debentures  are convertible into ordinary shares of the Company at the option of
the  holder at any time at a ratio of 13.8627 shares per $1,000 principal amount
debenture,  subject  to adjustments if certain events take place, if the closing
sale price per ordinary share exceeds 110 percent of the conversion price for at
least  20  trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the
trading  day  immediately  prior  to  the  conversion date or if other specified
conditions  are  met.  At  December 31, 2002, $400.0 million principal amount of
these  notes was outstanding.  The fair value of the 1.5% Convertible Debentures
at  December  31,  2002  was approximately $367.0 million based on the estimated
yield  to  maturity  as  of  that  date.

     6.625%  Notes  and  7.5%  Notes-In  April  2001, the  Company issued $700.0
million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Notes due April 15, 2011 and $600.0
million aggregate principal amount of 7.5% Notes due April 15, 2031. At December
31,  2002, $700.0 million and $600.0 million principal amount of these notes was
outstanding, respectively.  The fair value of the 6.625% Notes and 7.5% Notes at
December  31,  2002  was  approximately  $766.4  million  and  $698.0  million,
respectively,  based  on  the  estimated  yield  to  maturity  as  of that date.

     The  Company  entered into interest rate swaps relating to the 6.625% Notes
and  7.5%  Notes.  See  Note  10.

     Zero  Coupon  Convertible  Debentures-In  May 2000, the Company issued Zero
Coupon  Convertible  Debentures  due  May  2020 with a face value at maturity of
$865.0  million.  The debentures were issued to the public at a price of $579.12
per  debenture  and accrue original issue discount at a rate of 2.75 percent per
annum  compounded  semiannually  to reach a face value at maturity of $1,000 per
debenture.  The Company will pay no interest on the debentures prior to maturity
and  has  the right to redeem the debentures after three years for a price equal
to  the  issuance  price  plus  accrued  original  issue discount to the date of
redemption.  Each  holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase the
debentures  on  the  third, eighth and thirteenth anniversary of issuance at the
issuance  price  plus accrued original issue discount to the date of repurchase.
The Company may pay this repurchase price with either cash or ordinary shares or
a  combination of cash and ordinary shares.  The debentures are convertible into
ordinary  shares  of  the  Company  at the option of the holder at any time at a
ratio  of  8.1566  shares per debenture subject to adjustments if certain events
take  place.  At December 31, 2002, $865.0 million face value of these notes was
outstanding  with  a  discounted value of $537.6 million.  The fair value of the
Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures at December 31, 2002 was approximately $534.2
million based on the estimated yield to maturity as of that date.  Should all of
the  debentures  be  put  to the Company in May 2003, the debentures will have a
discounted  value  of  $543.7  million.

     7.45%  Notes  and  8%  Debentures-In  April 1997, the Company issued $100.0
million  aggregate principal amount of 7.45% Notes due April 15, 2027 and $200.0
million aggregate principal amount of 8% Debentures due April 15, 2027.  Holders
of  the  7.45%  Notes  may  elect  to have all or any portion of the 7.45% Notes
repaid  on  April  15,  2007  at 100 percent of the principal amount.  The 7.45%
Notes, at any time after April 15, 2007, and the 8% Debentures, at any time, are
redeemable  at  the  Company's  option  at a make-whole premium. At December 31,
2002,  $100.0  million  and  $200.0  million principal amount of these notes was
outstanding,  respectively.  The fair value of the 7.45% Notes and 8% Debentures
at  December  31,  2002  was  approximately  $115.0  million and $242.8 million,
respectively,  based  on  the  estimated  yield  to  maturity  as  of that date.

     All of the notes, debentures and bank agreements described above are senior
and  unsecured.

     Nautilus  Class  A1  and  A2  Notes-In  August  1999,  one of the Company's
subsidiaries  completed  a $250.0 million project financing for the construction
of  the  Deepwater  Nautilus  that consisted of a $200.0 million, 7.31% Class A1
amortizing  note  with  a  final maturity in May 2005 and a $50.0 million, 9.41%
Class  A2  note  maturing  in  May  2005.  Both  notes are collateralized by the
Deepwater Nautilus, which had a carrying value of $303.6 million at December 31,
2002,  and  the  rig's  drilling contract revenues. These notes were recorded at
fair value on January 31, 2001 as part of the R&B Falcon merger. At December 31,
2002,  approximately  $105.8  million  and  $50.0  million  principal  amount,
respectively,  of  these  notes were outstanding. The fair value of the Nautilus
Class  A1 and A2 Notes at December 31, 2002 was approximately $111.9 million and
$56.4 million, respectively, based on the estimated yield to maturity as of that
date.

     Secured  Rig  Financing-At  December  31, 2001, the Company had outstanding
$50.6  million  of debt secured by the Trident IX and Trident 16. Payments under
these  financing  agreements  included an interest component of 7.95 percent for
the  Trident  IX and 7.20 percent for the Trident 16. The financing arrangements
provided  for  a  call  right  on the part of the Company to repay the financing
prior  to  expiration  of  their scheduled terms and in some circumstances a put
right  on  the  part of the banks to require the Company to repay the financing.
Under  either  circumstance,  the  Company  would  retain ownership of the rigs.

     In  January 2002, the Company exercised its call option under the financing
arrangement  to repay the financing on the Trident 16 prior to the expiration of
the  scheduled  term.  The  aggregate  principal  amount  outstanding  was $32.2
million.  The  premium paid as a result of the call option of approximately $2.0
million  was  recorded  as  an increase in the net book value of the Trident 16.

     In  March  2002,  the  Company  also  exercised  its  call option under the
financing  arrangement  to  repay  the  financing on the Trident IX prior to the
expiration of the scheduled term. The aggregate principal amount outstanding was
$14.9  million. The premium paid as a result of the call option of approximately
$0.5  million  was  recorded as an increase in the net book value of the Trident
IX.

     Redeemed  and  Repurchased  Debt-In  November  and  December  of  2001, the
Company  repurchased  and  retired approximately $11.3 million face value of the
9.125%  Senior  Notes  due  2003 and $10.5 million face value of the 6.5% Senior
Notes  due  2003.  The  Company  funded  the repurchases from cash on hand.  The
Company  recognized  an  extraordinary  loss,  net of tax, of approximately $0.6
million  in  the fourth quarter of 2001 relating to the early retirement of this
debt.

     On November 30, 2001, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding related to
the  6.9%  Notes  using  cash  on  hand.  As a result, the Company recognized an
extraordinary  loss,  net  of  tax,  of approximately $1.4 million in the fourth
quarter  of  2001  relating  to  the  early  retirement  of  this  debt.

     On  May  18, 2001, Cliffs Drilling Company ("Cliffs Drilling"), an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, redeemed all of the approximately $200.0
million  principal  amount  outstanding  10.25%  Senior Notes due 2003, at 102.5
percent,  or  $1,025  per  $1,000 principal amount, plus interest accrued to the
redemption  date.  The  Company recognized an extraordinary gain, net of tax, of
approximately  $1.6  million  ($0.01 per diluted share) in the second quarter of
2001  relating  to  the  early  retirement  of  this  debt.

     On  April  10, 2001, TODCO acquired, pursuant to a tender offer, all of the
approximately $400.0 million principal amount outstanding 11.375% Senior Secured
Notes due 2009 of its affiliate, RBF Finance Co., at 122.51 percent of principal
amount,  or  $1,225.10  per  $1,000  principal  amount,  plus accrued and unpaid
interest.

     On  April  6, 2001, RBF Finance Co., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of
the  Company,  redeemed all of the approximately $400.0 million principal amount
outstanding  11%  Senior Secured Notes due 2006 at 125.282 percent, or $1,252.82
per  $1,000  principal  amount,  plus  accrued  and  unpaid  interest, and TODCO
redeemed  all  of  the approximately $200.0 million principal amount outstanding
12.25%  Senior  Notes  due  2006  at  130.675  percent  or  $1,306.75 per $1,000
principal  amount,  plus  accrued  and  unpaid  interest. The Company funded the
redemption  from  the issuance of the 6.625% Notes and 7.5% Notes in April 2001.

     On  March  30,  2001,  pursuant to an offer made in connection with the R&B
Falcon  merger,  Cliffs  Drilling,  a wholly owned subsidiary of TODCO, acquired
approximately  $0.1  million  of  the  10.25% Senior Notes due 2003 at an amount
equal  to  101  percent  of  the  principal  amount.

     The  Company recognized an extraordinary loss, net of tax, of approximately
$18.9  million  ($0.06  per  diluted share) in the second quarter of 2001 on the
early  retirement  of  these  debt  instruments.

NOTE  9-FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS  AND  RISK  CONCENTRATION

     Foreign  Exchange  Risk-The  Company's  international operations expose the
Company  to  foreign  exchange  risk.  This  risk  is  primarily associated with
compensation costs denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and with
purchases  from  foreign  suppliers. The Company uses a variety of techniques to
minimize  exposure to foreign exchange risk, including customer contract payment
terms  and  foreign  exchange  derivative  instruments.


                                      -70-

                     TRANSOCEAN INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

     The  Company's  primary  foreign exchange risk management strategy involves
structuring  customer  contracts to provide for payment in both U.S. dollars and
local  currency.  The  payment portion denominated in local currency is based on
anticipated  local  currency requirements over the contract term. Due to various
factors,  including  local  banking  laws,  other  statutory requirements, local
currency  convertibility  and  the  impact  of  inflation on local costs, actual
foreign  exchange  needs  may  vary  from  those  anticipated  in  the  customer
contracts,  resulting in partial exposure to foreign exchange risk. Fluctuations
in  foreign  currencies  have  minimal  impact on overall results. In situations
where  the  primary  strategy  is  not  entirely  attainable,  foreign  exchange
derivative instruments, specifically foreign exchange forward contracts, or spot
purchases may be used. A foreign exchange forward contract obligates the Company
to  exchange  predetermined amounts of specified foreign currencies at specified
exchange  rates  on specified dates or to make an equivalent U.S. dollar payment
equal  to  the  value  of  such  exchange.

     Gains  and losses on foreign exchange derivative instruments, which qualify
as  accounting hedges, are deferred as other comprehensive income and recognized
when  the  underlying foreign exchange exposure is realized. Gains and losses on
foreign  exchange  derivative  instruments,  which  do not qualify as hedges for
accounting  purposes,  are  recognized  currently  based on the change in market
value of the derivative instruments.  At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company
did  not  have  any  foreign  exchange  derivative instruments not qualifying as
accounting  hedges.

     Interest  Rate  Risk-The Company's use of debt directly exposes the Company
to  interest  rate  risk.  Floating  rate  debt,  where the interest rate can be
changed  every year or less over the life of the instrument, exposes the Company
to  short-term  changes  in  market  interest rates.  Fixed rate debt, where the
interest  rate  is  fixed  over  the life of the instrument and the instrument's
maturity  is  greater  than  one  year, exposes the Company to changes in market
interest  rates  should  the  Company  refinance  maturing  debt  with new debt.

     In  addition,  the  Company  is  exposed  to interest rate risk in its cash
investments,  as  the  interest  rates  on  these investments change with market
interest  rates.

     The  Company,  from  time to time, may use interest rate swap agreements to
manage  the effect of interest rate changes on future income.  These derivatives
are  used  as  hedges  and  are  not  used  for speculative or trading purposes.
Interest  rate  swaps  are  designated  as a hedge of underlying future interest
payments.  These  agreements  involve  the exchange of amounts based on variable
interest  rates  and amounts based on a fixed interest rate over the life of the
agreement without an exchange of the notional amount upon which the payments are
based.  The  interest  rate  differential to be received or paid on the swaps is
recognized  over  the  lives  of the swaps as an adjustment to interest expense.
Gains  and  losses on terminations of interest rate swap agreements are deferred
and  recognized  as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining life of
the  underlying  debt. In the event of the early retirement of a designated debt
obligation,  any  realized  or  unrealized  gain  or loss from the swap would be
recognized  in  income.

     The  major  risks  in  using  interest  rate derivatives include changes in
interest  rates  affecting the value of such instruments, potential increases in
the interest expense of the Company due to market increases in floating interest
rates in the case of derivatives that exchange fixed interest rates for floating
interest  rates  and  the  credit  worthiness  of  the  counterparties  in  such
transactions.

     The  Company has entered into interest rate swap transactions hedging debt.
See  Note 10.  The Company has not hedged any of its other assets or liabilities
against  interest  rate  movements.

     The  market  value  of  the  Company's swaps is carried on its consolidated
balance  sheet  as  an  asset or liability depending on the movement of interest
rates  after the transaction is entered into and depending on the security being
hedged.  Because  the  Company's swaps are considered to be perfectly effective,
the  carrying value of the debt being hedged is adjusted for the market value of
the  swaps.

     Should  a  counterparty  default at a time in which the market value of the
swap  with  that  counterparty  is  classified  as  an  asset  in  the Company's
consolidated  balance sheet, the Company may be unable to collect on that asset.
To mitigate such risk of failure, the Company enters into swap transactions with
a  diverse  group  of  high-quality  institutions.

     Credit  Risk-Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations  of  credit  risk  are primarily cash and cash equivalents, trade
receivables,  swap  receivables  and notes receivable from Delta Towing LLC (see
Note  21).  It  is the Company's practice to place its cash and cash equivalents
in  time  deposits at commercial banks with high credit ratings or mutual funds,
which  invest  exclusively  in high quality money market instruments. In foreign
locations,  local


                                      -71-

                     TRANSOCEAN INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

financial  institutions  are  generally  utilized  for local currency needs. The
Company  limits  the  amount  of  exposure  to  any one institution and does not
believe  it  is  exposed  to  any  significant  credit  risk.

     The  Company  derives  the  majority  of  its  revenue  from  services  to
international  oil  companies and government-owned and government-controlled oil
companies.  Receivables  are concentrated in various countries. See Note 20. The
Company  maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable based upon
expected  collectibility.  The  Company  is  not aware of any significant credit
risks relating to its customer base and does not generally require collateral or
other  security  to  support  customer  receivables.

     Labor  Agreements-On  a  worldwide  basis, the Company had approximately 10
percent  of  its  employees  working  under  collective bargaining agreements at
December  31,  2002,  most  of  whom  were  working in Norway, U.K., Nigeria and
Trinidad.  Of  these  represented  employees,  a  majority  are  working  under
agreements  that  are  subject  to  salary  negotiation  in  2003.

NOTE  10-INTEREST  RATE  SWAPS

     In June 2001, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements in the
aggregate  notional  amount  of $700.0 million with a group of banks relating to
the  Company's  $700.0  million  aggregate  principal amount of 6.625% Notes due
April  2011.  In  February  2002,  the  Company  entered into interest rate swap
agreements  with  a  group  of  banks in the aggregate notional amount of $900.0
million  relating  to the Company's $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of
6.75%  Senior Notes due April 2005, $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of
6.95%  Senior Notes due April 2008 and $300.0 million aggregate principal amount
of  9.5%  Senior  Notes  due  December 2008 (see Note 26). The objective of each
transaction  is to protect the debt against changes in fair value due to changes
in  the  benchmark  interest  rate.  Under  each interest rate swap, the Company
receives  the  fixed  rate  equal  to the coupon of the hedged item and pays the
floating  rate  (LIBOR)  plus a margin of 50 basis points, 246 basis points, 171
basis  points  and  413  basis points, respectively, which are designated as the
respective benchmark interest rates, on each of the interest payment dates until
maturity  of the respective notes. The hedges are considered perfectly effective
against  changes  in  the fair value of the debt due to changes in the benchmark
interest  rates  over  their  term. As a result, the shortcut method applies and
there is no need to periodically reassess the effectiveness of the hedges during
the  term  of  the  swaps.

     On  March  13, 2001, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements
relating  to  the  anticipated  private  placement  of  $700.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 6.625% Notes due April 15, 2011 and $600.0 million aggregate
principal  amount  of  7.5%  Notes due April 15, 2031 in the notional amounts of
$200.0  million  and  $400.0  million,  respectively.  The  objective  of  each
transaction  was  to  hedge  a  portion  of  the forecasted payments of interest
resulting  from  the anticipated issuance of fixed rate debt. Under each forward
interest rate swap, the Company paid a LIBOR swap rate and received the floating
rate of three-month LIBOR. Hedge effectiveness was assessed by the dollar-offset
method  by comparing the changes in expected cash flows from the hedges with the
change  in  the  LIBOR  swap  rates  and  the  forward  interest rate swaps were
determined  to  be  highly  effective. The hedge transactions were closed out on
March  30,  2001.  The  gain  on  these  hedge transactions of $4.1 million is a
component  of accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance
sheet. This gain is being recognized as a reduction of interest expense over the
life of the 7.5% Notes beginning in April 2001. For the years ended December 31,
2002  and 2001, the amount of net after-tax gain recognized was $0.3 million and
$0.2  million,  respectively.  At  December 31, 2002 and 2001, the net after-tax
gain  on  these  terminated  interest  rate  swaps included in accumulated other
comprehensive  income  was  $3.6  million  and  $3.9  million,  respectively.

     At  December  31,  2002, the Company had outstanding interest rate swaps in
the  aggregate  notional  amount  of  $1.6  billion.  The  market  value  of the
Company's  outstanding  interest  rate  swaps  was included in other assets with
corresponding  increases  to  long-term  debt  and was as follows (in millions):

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

     DD  LLC, an unconsolidated subsidiary in which the Company has a 50 percent
ownership  interest,  has entered into interest rate swaps with aggregate market
values  netting  to  a  liability  of  $6.7  million  at  December 31, 2002. The
Company's  interest  in  these  swaps  has  been  included  in accumulated other
comprehensive  income,  net  of  tax,  with corresponding reductions to deferred
income  taxes  and  investments  in  and  advances  to  joint  ventures.

NOTE  11-FAIR  VALUE  OF  FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS

     The  following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of  each  class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that  value:

     Cash  and  cash  equivalents  and  trade  receivables-The  carrying amounts
approximate  fair  value  because  of  the  short maturity of those instruments.

     Swap  receivables-The carrying  value  of  swap  receivables is adjusted to
estimated  market  value  based  on  current and forward  LIBOR  rates.

     Notes receivable from related party-The fair value of notes receivable from
related  party  with  a  carrying  amount  of $82.8 million and $78.9 million at
December  31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, could not be determined because there
is  no  available  market  price  for  such  notes.  See  Note  21.

     Debt-The fair value of the Company's fixed rate debt is calculated based on
the  estimated  yield  to  maturity.  The  carrying  value of variable rate debt
approximates  fair  value.

NOTE  14-SUPPLEMENTARY  CASH  FLOW  INFORMATION

     Non-cash  investing  activities for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001
and  2000  included $7.9 million, $11.8 million and $45.0 million, respectively,
related to accruals of capital expenditures. The accruals have been reflected in
the consolidated balance sheet as an increase in property and equipment, net and
accounts  payable.

     In  2002,  the  Company reclassified the remaining assets that had not been
disposed  of  from  assets  held  for  sale  to  property and equipment based on
management's  assessment  that  these  assets  no  longer  met the held for sale
criteria under SFAS 144. As a result, $55.0 million was reflected as an increase
in  property  and  equipment  with  a  corresponding  decrease  in other assets.

     Non-cash financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2001 included
$6.7  billion related to the Company's ordinary shares issued in connection with
the R&B Falcon merger. Non-cash investing activities for the year ended December
31,  2001 included $6.4 billion of net assets acquired in the R&B Falcon merger.

     Concurrent  with  and  subsequent  to  the  R&B  Falcon merger, the Company
removed  certain  non-strategic assets from the active rig fleet and categorized
them  as  assets  held  for  sale. These reclassifications were reflected in the
December  31,  2001  consolidated  balance  sheet  as a decrease in property and
equipment, net of $177.8 million, with a corresponding increase in other assets.

     In  February 2001, the Company received a distribution from a joint venture
in  the form of marketable securities held for sale valued at $19.9 million. The
distribution  was  reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as an increase in
other  current  assets  with  a  corresponding  decrease  in  investments in and
advances  to  joint  ventures.

     Cash  payments  for  interest were $210.5 million, $190.6 million and $81.3
million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Cash
payments  for  income  taxes,  net, were $91.1 million, $122.5 million and $63.3
million  for  the  years  ended  December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

NOTE  15-INCOME  TAXES

     Income  taxes  have  been provided based upon the tax laws and rates in the
countries  in  which  operations are conducted and income is earned. There is no
expected relationship between the provision for or benefit from income taxes and
income  or  loss before income taxes because the countries have taxation regimes
that  vary  not  only  with  respect  to  nominal rate, but also in terms of the
availability  of  deductions,  credits and other benefits. Variations also arise
because  income  earned  and  taxed  in  any particular country or countries may
fluctuate  from  year to year. Transocean Inc., a Cayman Islands company, is not
subject  to  income  tax  in  the  Cayman  Islands.  The  effective  tax rate on
continuing  operations  for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was
4.9  percent,  23.8  percent  and  25.4  percent,  respectively.

     During  2002,  the  Company  recorded  a  $175.7 million ($0.55 per diluted
share)  tax  benefit  attributable  to  the  restructuring  of  certain non-U.S.
operations.  As  a  result  of the restructuring, previously unrecognized losses
were  offset  against  deferred  gains,  resulting in a reduction of non-current
deferred  taxes  payable.

     Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are recognized for the anticipated
future  tax  effects  of  temporary  differences between the financial statement
basis  and  the  tax  basis  of  the  Company's assets and liabilities using the
applicable  tax  rates in effect at year end. A valuation allowance for deferred
tax  assets  is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the
benefit  from  the  deferred  tax  asset  will  not  be  realized.

     The Company provided a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets on
net operating losses incurred during the year in certain jurisdictions where, in
the  opinion  of  management,  it  is  more  likely  than not that the financial
statement  benefit  of these losses would not be realized.  The Company has also
provided  a  valuation allowance for foreign tax credit carryforwards reflecting
the  possible  expiration  of  their  benefits  prior  to their utilization. The
valuation  allowance for non-current deferred tax assets increased $21.6 million
during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2002.

     The Company's net U.S. operating loss carryforwards expire between 2003 and
2022.  The  tax  effect  of the U.S. net operating loss carryforwards was $380.3
million  at  December  31,  2002.  The  Company's  U.K.  net  operating  loss
carryforwards  do  not  expire.  The  tax  effect of the U.K. net operating loss
carryforwards  was  $26.2  million  at  December  31,  2002. The Company's fully
benefited  U.S.  foreign  tax  credit carryforwards will expire between 2004 and
2007.

     Transocean  Inc.,  a Cayman Islands company, is not subject to income taxes
in the Cayman Islands. For the three years ended December 31, 2002, there was no
Cayman  Islands  income  or  profits  tax,  withholding  tax, capital gains tax,
capital transfer tax, estate duty or inheritance tax payable by a Cayman Islands
company  or  its  shareholders.  The  Company has obtained an assurance from the
Cayman Islands government under the Tax Concessions Law (1995 Revision) that, in
the  event  that  any  legislation is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing tax
computed  on  profits  or  income,  or  computed  on any capital assets, gain or
appreciation,  or  any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax, such
tax shall not, until June 1, 2019, be applicable to the Company or to any of its
operations  or  to  the  shares, debentures or other obligations of the Company.
Therefore,  under  present  law there will be no Cayman Islands tax consequences
affecting  distributions.

     The  Company's  income tax returns are subject to review and examination in
the  various  jurisdictions  in  which  the Company operates.  The U.S. Internal
Revenue  Service  is  currently  auditing  the years 1999 and 2000. In addition,
other  tax authorities have questioned the amounts of income and expense subject
to  tax  in  their  jurisdiction  for  prior  periods.  The Company is currently
contesting  additional  assessments which have been asserted and may contest any
future  assessments.  In  the  opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of
these asserted income tax liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on
the  Company's  business,  consolidated  financial  position  or  results  of
operations.

     In connection with the distribution of Sedco Forex Holdings Limited ("Sedco
Forex")  to  the  Schlumberger  shareholders  in  December 1999, Sedco Forex and
Schlumberger  entered  into  a Tax Separation Agreement.  In accordance with the
terms  of  the  Tax Separation Agreement, Schlumberger agreed to indemnify Sedco
Forex  for  any  tax  liabilities  incurred  directly  in  connection  with  the
preparation  of  Sedco  Forex  for this distribution.  In addition, Schlumberger
agreed  to indemnify Sedco Forex for tax liabilities associated with Sedco Forex
operations  conducted  through Schlumberger entities prior to the merger and any
tax  liabilities  associated  with  Sedco Forex assets retained by Schlumberger.

     The  Company  was  included  in the consolidated federal income tax returns
filed  by  a  former  parent,  Sonat  Inc. ("Sonat") during all periods in which
Sonat's ownership was greater than or equal to 80 percent ("Affiliation Years").
The  Company  and  Sonat  entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement providing for the
manner  of  determining  payments with respect to federal income tax liabilities
and  benefits arising in the Affiliation Years. Under the Tax Sharing Agreement,
the  Company  will  pay  to  Sonat an amount equal to the Company's share of the
Sonat  consolidated  federal  income  tax  liability,  generally determined on a
separate  return  basis.  In  addition,  Sonat  will pay the Company for Sonat's
utilization  of  deductions,  losses  and  credits  that are attributable to the
Company  and  in  excess  of  that  which would be utilized on a separate return
basis.

     Operating  Leases-The Company  has  operating lease commitments expiring at
various  dates,  principally for real estate, office space, office equipment and
rig bareboat charters.  In addition to rental payments, some leases provide that
the  Company  pay  a  pro rata share of operating costs applicable to the leased

     The  Company  is  a party to an operating lease on the M. G. Hulme, Jr. The
drilling rig is leased from Deep Sea Investors, L.L.C., a special purpose entity
formed by several leasing companies to acquire the rig from one of the Company's
subsidiaries in November 1995 in a sale/leaseback transaction. Under this lease,
the Company may purchase the rig for approximately $35 million at the end of the
lease  term of November 29, 2005. At December 31, 2002, the future minimum lease
payments,  excluding  the purchase option, was $37.9 million and was included in
the  table  above.

     Rental  expense  for  all  operating leases, including leases with terms of
less  than  one year, was $52 million, $96 million and $50 million for the years
ended  December  31,  2002,  2001  and  2000,  respectively.

     Legal  Proceedings-In 1990 and 1991, two of the Company's subsidiaries were
served  with various assessments collectively valued at approximately $7 million
from  the  municipality  of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to collect a municipal tax on
services.  The  Company believes that neither subsidiary is liable for the taxes
and  has  contested  the  assessments  in the Brazilian administrative and court
systems.  The  Brazil  Supreme Court rejected the Company's appeal of an adverse
lower court's ruling with respect to a June 1991 assessment, which was valued at
approximately  $6  million.  The  Company plans to challenge the assessment in a
separate  proceeding,  which  is currently at the trial court level. The Company
also is awaiting a ruling at various levels in connection with a disputed August
1990  assessment  that  is  still  pending  before  the Brazil Superior Court of
Justice. The Company also received an adverse ruling from the Taxpayer's Council
in  connection  with  an October 1990 assessment and is appealing the ruling. If
the  Company's  defenses  are ultimately unsuccessful, the Company believes that
the  Brazilian  government-controlled  oil company, Petrobras, has a contractual
obligation  to  reimburse  the Company for municipal tax payments required to be
paid  by them. The Company does not expect the liability, if any, resulting from
these  assessments  to  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  its  business or
consolidated  financial  position.

     The  Indian Customs Department, Mumbai, filed a "show cause notice" against
a  subsidiary  of  the  Company and various third parties in July 1999. The show
cause  notice  alleged  that  the  initial  entry  into  India in 1988 and other
subsequent  movements  of  the  Trident II jackup rig operated by the subsidiary
constituted  imports  and  exports  for which proper customs procedures were not
followed and sought payment of customs duties of approximately $31 million based
on  an  alleged  1998 rig value of $49 million, with interest and penalties, and
confiscation  of  the  rig.  In  January 2000, the Customs Department issued its
order,  which  found  that  the  Company  had  imported  the  rig improperly and
intentionally  concealed  the  import  from  the  authorities,  and directed the
Company  to pay a redemption fee of approximately $3 million for the rig in lieu
of  confiscation and to pay penalties of approximately $1 million in addition to
the amount of customs duties owed. In February 2000, the Company filed an appeal
with  the  Customs,  Excise  and  Gold  (Control)  Appellate  Tribunal ("CEGAT")
together  with an application to have the confiscation of the rig stayed pending
the  outcome  of  the  appeal.  In  March  2000,  the  CEGAT  ruled  on the stay
application,  directing  that the confiscation be stayed pending the appeal. The
CEGAT  issued its opinion on the Company's appeal on February 2, 2001, and while
it  found  that  the  rig  was  imported in 1988 without proper documentation or
payment  of  duties,  the redemption fee and penalties were reduced to less than
$0.1  million  in  view  of the ambiguity surrounding the import practice at the
time  and  the lack of intentional concealment by the Company. The CEGAT further
sustained  the  Company's position regarding the value of the rig at the time of
import  as  $13  million and ruled that subsequent movements of the rig were not
liable  to  import documentation or duties in view of the prevailing practice of
the Customs Department, thus limiting the Company's exposure as to custom duties
to  approximately  $6  million.  Following the CEGAT order, the Company tendered
payment  of redemption, penalty and duty in the amount specified by the order by
offset  against  a  $0.6  million deposit and $10.7 million guarantee previously
made  by  the  Company.  The  Customs  Department  attempted  to draw the entire
guarantee,  alleging  the actual duty payable is approximately $22 million based
on  an interpretation of the CEGAT order that the Company believes is incorrect.
This  action  was stopped by an interim ruling of the High Court, Mumbai on writ
petition filed by the Company. Both the Customs Department and the Company filed
appeals with the Supreme Court of India against the order of the CEGAT, and both
appeals  have been admitted. The Company applied for an expedited hearing, which
was  denied.  The  Company  and  its  customer agreed to pursue and obtained the
issuance  of  documentation  from the Ministry of Petroleum that, if accepted by
the  Customs  Department,  would  reduce the duty to nil. The agreement with the
customer  further provided that if this reduction was not obtained by the end of
2001, the customer would pay the duty up to a limit of $7.7 million. The Customs
Department  did  not  accept  the  documentation  or  agree to refund the duties
already  paid.  The  Company has requested the refund from the customer, who has
refused. The Company is pursuing its remedies against the Customs Department and
the  customer.  The  Company  does  not  expect, in any event, that the ultimate
liability, if any, resulting from the matter will have a material adverse effect
on  its  business  or  consolidated  financial  position.

     In  January  2000,  a pipeline in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico was damaged by an
anchor  from one of the Company's drilling rigs while the rig was under tow. The
incident  resulted  in  damage  to  offshore  facilities,  including a crude oil
pipeline,  the  release of hydrocarbons from the damaged section of the pipeline
and  the  shutdown  of the pipeline and allegedly affected production platforms.
All  appropriate  governmental  authorities  were  notified,  and  the  Company
cooperated  fully  with  the

operator and relevant authorities in support of the remediation efforts. Certain
owners and operators of the pipeline (Poseidon Oil Pipeline Company LLC, Equilon
Enterprises  LLC, Poseidon Pipeline Company, LLC and Marathon Oil Company) filed
suit  in  March  2000  in federal court, Eastern District of Louisiana, alleging
various  damages in excess of $30 million. A second suit was filed by Walter Oil
&  Gas Corporation and certain other plaintiffs in Harris County, Texas alleging
various  damages  in  excess of $1.8 million, and the Company obtained a summary
judgment  against  Walter  Oil  &  Gas Corporation and Amerada Hess. The Company
filed a limitation of liability proceeding in federal court, Eastern District of
Louisiana,  claiming  benefit  of  various  statutes  providing  limitation  of
liability for vessel owners, the result of which was to stay the first two suits
and  to  cause  potential  claimants  (including  the plaintiffs in the existing
suits)  to  file  claims  in  this  proceeding.  El Paso Energy Corporation, the
owner/operator  of  the  platform  from which a riser was allegedly damaged, and
Texaco  Exploration  and  Production Inc. have filed claims in the limitation of
liability  proceeding  as  well.  All  claims  arising out of the loss have been
settled  and  the  terms  of the settlement have been reflected in the Company's
results  of  operations for the year ended December 31, 2002. The settlement did
not  have  a  material  adverse effect on the Company's business or consolidated
financial  position.

     In  November  1988,  a lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern  District  of  West Virginia against Reading & Bates Coal Co., a wholly
owned  subsidiary  of  R&B Falcon, by SCW Associates, Inc. claiming breach of an
alleged  agreement  to  purchase the stock of Belva Coal Company, a wholly owned
subsidiary  of  Reading  & Bates Coal Co. with coal properties in West Virginia.
When  those coal properties were sold in July 1989 as part of the disposition of
R&B Falcon's coal operations, the purchasing joint venture indemnified Reading &
Bates  Coal  Co.  and  R&B Falcon against any liability Reading & Bates Coal Co.
might  incur  as  a  result  of this litigation. A judgment for the plaintiff of
$32,000  entered in February 1991 was satisfied and Reading & Bates Coal Co. was
indemnified  by  the  purchasing  joint  venture.  On  October  31,  1990,  SCW
Associates, Inc., the plaintiff in the above-referenced action, filed a separate
ancillary action in the Circuit Court, Kanawha County, West Virginia against R&B
Falcon,  Caymen  Coal, Inc. (the former owner of R&B Falcon's West Virginia coal
properties),  as  well as the joint venture, Mr. William B. Sturgill (the former
President  of  Reading  &  Bates  Coal Co.) personally, three other companies in
which  the Company believes Mr. Sturgill holds an equity interest, two employees
of  the  joint  venture,  First  National  Bank  of  Chicago  and  First Capital
Corporation.  The  lawsuit sought to recover compensatory damages of $50 million
and  punitive  damages of $50 million for alleged tortious interference with the
contractual  rights  of  the plaintiff and to impose a constructive trust on the
proceeds  of  the  use  and/or  sale  of the assets of Caymen Coal, Inc. as they
existed  on  October  15,  1988. The lawsuit was settled in August 2002, and the
terms  of  the  settlement  have  been  reflected  in  the  Company's results of
operations  for  the year ended December 31, 2002. The settlement did not have a
material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company's business or consolidated financial
position.

     In  March 1997, an action was filed by Mobil Exploration and Producing U.S.
Inc.  and  affiliates,  St.  Mary  Land & Exploration Company and affiliates and
Samuel  Geary  and  Associates,  Inc.  against the Company, its underwriters and
insurance  broker  in  the  16th  Judicial  District  Court  of St. Mary Parish,
Louisiana.  The plaintiffs alleged damages amounting to in excess of $50 million
in connection with the drilling of a turnkey well in 1995 and 1996. The case was
tried  before  a  jury  in  January  and  February 2000, and the jury returned a
verdict  of  approximately  $30  million  in  favor of the plaintiffs for excess
drilling  costs,  loss of insurance proceeds, loss of hydrocarbons and interest.
The  Company  has appealed such judgment, and the Louisiana Court of Appeals has
reduced  the  amount  for  which the Company may be responsible to less than $10
million.  The  plaintiffs  have  requested  that  the Supreme Court of Louisiana
consider  the  matter  and  reinstate the original verdict. The Company believes
that all but potentially the portion of the verdict representing excess drilling
costs  of  approximately  $4.7 million is covered by relevant primary and excess
liability insurance policies; however, the insurers and underwriters have denied
coverage.  The  Company  has  instituted  litigation  against those insurers and
underwriters to enforce its rights under the relevant policies. The Company does
not  expect  that the ultimate outcome of this case will have a material adverse
effect  on  its  business  or  consolidated  financial  position.

     In  October  2001,  the  Company  was  notified  by  the U.S. Environmental
Protection  Agency  ("EPA")  that  the  EPA  had  identified a subsidiary of the
Company  as  a potentially responsible party in connection with the Palmer Barge
Line  superfund site located in Port Arthur, Jefferson County, Texas. Based upon
the  information  provided  by  the EPA and the Company's review of its internal
records  to  date,  the  Company  disputes  its  designation  as  a  potentially
responsible  party  and  does  not expect that the ultimate outcome of this case
will  have  a  material adverse effect on its business or consolidated financial
position.

     The  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  are  involved  in  a  number of other
lawsuits,  all  of  which  have  arisen  in the ordinary course of the Company's
business.  The  Company  does  not  believe  that  ultimate  liability,  if any,
resulting  from  any  such other pending litigation will have a material adverse
effect  on  its  business  or  consolidated  financial  position.

     Self  Insurance-The  Company  is self-insured for the deductible portion of
its  insurance  coverage.  In  the opinion of management, adequate accruals have
been made based on known and estimated exposures up to the deductible portion of


                                      -79-

                     TRANSOCEAN INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

the  Company's  insurance  coverages.  Management  believes  that  claims  and
liabilities  in  excess  of  the  amounts  accrued  are  adequately  insured.

     Letters  of  Credit  and  Surety  Bonds-The  Company  had letters of credit
outstanding at December 31, 2002 totaling $54.0 million. These letters of credit
guarantee  various contract bidding and insurance activities under various lines
provided  by  several  banks.  In  January  2002, the Company terminated a $70.0
million  letter  of credit facility secured by mortgages on five drilling units,
the J.W. McLean, J.T. Angel, Randolph Yost, D.R. Stewart and George H. Galloway.

     As  is  customary  in  the contract drilling business, the Company also has
various  surety  bonds  totaling  $215.8  million  in  place that secure customs
obligations  relating to the importation of its rigs and certain performance and
other  obligations.

NOTE  17-STOCK-BASED  COMPENSATION  PLANS

     Long-Term  Incentive  Plan-The  Company  has  an  incentive  plan  for  key
employees  and  outside  directors  (the "Incentive Plan").  Under the Incentive
Plan,  awards  can  be  granted  in the form of stock options, restricted stock,
stock  appreciation  rights ("SARs") and cash performance awards. As of December
31,  2002,  the  Company was authorized to grant up to (i) 18.9 million ordinary
shares  to  employees;  (ii)  600,000  ordinary shares to outside directors; and
(iii)  300,000  freestanding  SARs to employees or directors under the Incentive
Plan.  Options  issued  under  the Incentive Plan have a 10-year term and become
exercisable  in  three  equal  annual  installments after the date of grant.  On
December  31,  1999,  all  unvested  stock  options  and  SARs  and all unvested
restricted  shares  granted  after April 1996 became fully vested as a result of
the  Sedco  Forex  merger.  At  December  31, 2002, there were approximately 8.4
million  total  shares  available  for  future  grants under the Incentive Plan.

     Prior  to the Sedco Forex merger, key employees of Sedco Forex were granted
stock  options  at various dates under the Schlumberger stock option plans.  For
all  of  the  stock options granted under such plans, the exercise price of each
option equaled the market price of Schlumberger stock on the date of grant, each
option's  maximum  term  was  10  years  and  the options generally vested in 20
percent  increments  over  five years.  Fully vested options held by Sedco Forex
employees  at  the  date  of  the  spin-off  will lapse in accordance with their
provisions.  Non-vested  options  were terminated and fully vested stock options
to  purchase  ordinary  shares of the Company were granted under a new plan (the
"SF  Plan").

     Prior  to the R&B Falcon merger (see Note 4), certain employees and outside
directors of TODCO and its subsidiaries were granted stock options under various
plans. As a result of the R&B Falcon merger, the Company assumed all outstanding
TODCO  stock options and converted them into options to purchase ordinary shares
of  the  Company.

(the "Stock Purchase Plan") for certain full-time employees.  Under the terms of
the  Stock Purchase Plan, employees can choose each year to have between two and
20  percent  of their annual base earnings withheld to purchase up to $25,000 of
the Company's ordinary shares.  The purchase price of the stock is 85 percent of
the  lower of its beginning-of-year or end-of-year market price. At December 31,
2002,  771,909 ordinary shares were available for issuance pursuant to the Stock
Purchase  Plan.

     For  measurement  purposes, the rate of increase in the per capita costs of
covered  health  care  benefits  was  assumed  12  percent  in  2002, decreasing

     Defined  Contribution  Plans-The  Company  provides  a defined contribution
pension  and  savings  plan  covering  senior  non-U.S.  field employees working
outside the United States. Contributions and costs are determined as 4.5 percent
to  6.5 percent of each covered employee's salary, based on years of service. In
addition,  the  Company  sponsors  a U.S. defined contribution savings plan.  It
covers  certain  employees  and limits Company contributions to no more than 4.5
percent of each covered employee's salary, based on the employee's contribution.
The  Company  also  sponsors various other defined contribution plans worldwide.
The  Company  recorded  approximately  $21.3  million,  $21.6  million and $11.5
million of expense related to its defined contribution plans for the years ended
December  31,  2002,  2001  and  2000,  respectively.

     Deferred  Compensation  Plan-The  Company  provides a Deferred Compensation
Plan  (the  "Plan").  The  Plan's primary purpose is to provide tax-advantageous
asset  accumulation  for  a  select  group  of  management,  highly  compensated
employees  and  non-employee  members  of the Board of Directors of the Company.

     Eligible  employees  who  enroll  in  the  Plan  may elect to defer up to a
maximum  of  90  percent  of  base salary, 100 percent of any future performance
awards,  100  percent  of  any  special  payments  and 100 percent of directors'
meeting  fees and annual retainers; however, the Administrative Committee (seven
individuals  appointed  by  the  Finance  and Benefits Committee of the Board of
Directors)  may,  at  its  discretion,  establish  minimum  amounts that must be
deferred  by  anyone  electing  to  participate  in  the Plan.  In addition, the
Executive  Compensation  Committee  of  the  Board  of  Directors  may authorize
employer  contributions  to  participants and the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company  (with Executive Compensation Committee approval) is authorized to cause
the  Company  to  enter  into "Deferred Compensation Award Agreements" with such
participants.  There were no employer contributions to the Plan during the years
ending  December  31,  2002,  2001  or  2000.

NOTE  19-INVESTMENTS  IN  AND  ADVANCES  TO  JOINT  VENTURES

     The  Company  has  a  25  percent interest in Sea Wolf.  In September 1997,
Sedco Forex sold two semisubmersible rigs, the Drill Star and Sedco Explorer, to
Sea  Wolf.  The  Company  operated  the  rigs under bareboat charters.  The sale
resulted  in  a  deferred  gain  of  $157  million, which was being amortized to
operating  and  maintenance  expense  over  the  six-year  life  of the bareboat
charters.  See  Note  6.  As  of  December  31,  2001,  Sea  Wolf  distributed
substantially  all  of  its  assets  to  its  shareholders.

     The Company has a 50 percent interest in Overseas Drilling Limited ("ODL"),
which  owns  the  drillship,  Joides Resolution.  The drillship is contracted to
perform  drilling and coring operations in deep waters worldwide for the purpose
of  scientific  research.  The Company manages and operates the vessel on behalf
of  ODL.  See  Note  21.

     At  December 31, 2000, the Company had a 24.9 percent interest in Arcade, a
Norwegian  offshore  drilling  company.  Arcade  owns  two  high-specification
semisubmersible  rigs,  the  Henry  Goodrich and Paul B. Loyd, Jr. Because TODCO
owned 74.4 percent of Arcade, Arcade was consolidated in the Company's financial
statements  effective  with  the R&B Falcon merger. In October 2001, the Company
purchased  the  remaining  minority  interest  in Arcade. The purchase price was
finalized  in  January  2003  for  $3.2  million.

     As a result of the R&B Falcon merger, the Company has a 50 percent interest
in  DD  LLC. DD LLC leases and operates the Deepwater Pathfinder. The investment
in DD LLC was recorded at fair value as part of the R&B Falcon merger.  See Note
21.

     As a result of the R&B Falcon merger, the Company has a 60 percent interest
in  Deepwater Drilling II L.L.C. ("DDII LLC").  DDII LLC leases and operates the
Deepwater  Frontier.  The  investment  in DDII LLC was recorded at fair value as
part of the R&B Falcon merger. Management of DDII LLC is governed by the Limited
Liability  Company  Agreement  (the  "LLCA")

between  the  Company  and  Conoco.  In  accordance  with  the  LLCA, DDII LLC's
day-to-day  operations  and  financial  decisions  are  governed  by the Members
Committee, which is comprised of six individuals of which the Company and Conoco
each  appoint three individuals. Because the Company shares equal responsibility
and  control  with Conoco, DDII LLC's results of operations are not consolidated
with  the  Company's  consolidated  results  of  operations.  See  Note  21.

     As a result of the R&B Falcon merger, the Company has a 25 percent interest
in  Delta  Towing  Holdings  LLC.  See  Note  21.

NOTE  20-SEGMENTS,  GEOGRAPHICAL  ANALYSIS  AND  MAJOR  CUSTOMERS

     The  Company's  operations are aggregated into two reportable segments: (i)
International  and  U.S.  Floater  Contract  Drilling  Services and (ii) Gulf of
Mexico  Shallow  and  Inland  Water. The International and U.S. Floater Contract
Drilling  Services  segment  consists  of  high-specification  floaters,  other
floaters,  non-U.S.  jackups,  other  mobile  offshore  drilling units and other
assets  used  in  support  of  offshore drilling activities and offshore support
services. The Gulf of Mexico Shallow and Inland Water segment consists of jackup
and  submersible  drilling  rigs and inland drilling barges located in the U. S.
Gulf  of  Mexico  and  Trinidad,  as  well as land and lake barge drilling units
located  in  Venezuela.  The  Company  provides services with different types of
drilling  equipment in several geographic regions. The location of the Company's
rigs  and  the allocation of resources to build or upgrade rigs is determined by
the  activities and needs of customers.  Accounting policies of the segments are
the  same  as  those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(see  Note  2). The Company accounts for intersegment revenue and expenses as if
the  revenue  or  expenses  were  to  third  parties  at  current market prices.

     Effective  January  1,  2002,  the  Company  changed the composition of its
reportable  segments  with  the  move  of  the  responsibility for its Venezuela
operations to the Gulf of Mexico Shallow and Inland Water segment. Prior periods
have  been  restated  to  reflect  the  change.

NOTE  21-RELATED  PARTY  TRANSACTIONS

     Schlumberger-The  Company incurred expenses amounting to approximately $1.1
million,  $3.5  million  and $9.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2002,
2001  and  2000,  respectively,  for  the  transitional  services  provided  by
Schlumberger  in  connection  with  the  Sedco  Forex  merger.

     DD  LLC  and  DDII LLC-The Company is party to drilling services agreements
with  DD  LLC  and  DDII  LLC for the operations of the Deepwater Pathfinder and
Deepwater  Frontier,  respectively.  For  the  years ended December 31, 2002 and
2001,  the  Company earned $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, for such
services  to  each of DD LLC and DDII LLC.  Such revenue amounts are included in
operating  revenues in the consolidated statement of operations. At December 31,
2002,  the  Company had receivables from DD LLC and DDII LLC of $2.6 million and
$3.9  million,  respectively, which are included in accounts receivable - other.
At  December  31,  2001, the Company had receivables from DD LLC and DDII LLC of
$2.6  million  and  $2.3  million,  respectively, which are included in accounts
receivable  -  other.

     From  time  to time, the Company contracts the Deepwater Frontier from DDII
LLC.  During  this  time,  DDII  LLC  bills  the  Company for the full operating
dayrate and issues a non-cash credit for downtime hours in excess of 24 hours in
any calendar month. The Company records a dayrate rebate receivable for all such
non-cash  credits  and is responsible for payment of 100 percent of all drilling
contract  invoices  received.  At  the end of the drilling contract, the Company
will  receive  in  cash the credits issued for downtime hours plus an escalation
factor.  At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the cumulative dayrate rebate receivable
from  DDII  LLC  totaled  $15.1  million and $13.7 million, respectively, and is
recorded  as  investment  in  and advances to joint ventures in the consolidated
balance  sheet. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company incurred $54.4
million  net  expense  from DDII LLC under the drilling contract. This amount is
included  in  operating  and  maintenance  expense in the Company's consolidated
statement  of  operations.  The  Company  incurred no expense for the year ended
December  31,  2002 due to the expiration of its lease late in 2001. At December
31,  2002  and 2001, the Company had amounts payable to DDII LLC of $0.3 million
and  $2.1  million,  respectively,  which is included in accounts payable in the
consolidated  balance  sheet.

     At  the  expiration  of the leases, each joint venture may purchase the rig
for  $185 million, in the case of the Deepwater Pathfinder, and $194 million, in
the  case of the Deepwater Frontier, or return the rig to the respective special
purpose  entity  that  owns the rig.  The Company would be obligated to pay only
the  portion  of  such  price  equal to its percentage ownership interest in the
applicable  joint  venture.  The Company's proportionate share for such purchase
options is $93 million and $116 million, respectively.  Under each joint venture
agreement,  the  consent  of each joint venture partner is generally required to
approve  actions  of  the joint venture, including the exercise of this purchase
option.  The  scheduled expiration of the lease is December 2003, in the case of
the Deepwater Pathfinder, and March 2004, in the case of the Deepwater Frontier.
Each  of  the  leases is subject to certain extension options of DD LLC and DDII
LLC,  respectively.

     If  a  joint  venture  returns the rig at the end of the lease, the special
purpose  entity  may sell the rig.  In connection with the return, DD LLC may be
required to pay an amount up to $138 million and DDII LLC may be required to pay
an amount up to $145 million, plus certain expenses in each case. These payments
may  be  reduced by a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the applicable rig.
If  an event of default occurs under the applicable lease agreements, each joint
venture  may be required to pay an amount equal to the amount of debt and equity
financing  owed  by the applicable special purpose entity plus certain expenses.
At  December  31,  2002, the debt and equity financing outstanding applicable to
the  owner  of  Deepwater Pathfinder and of Deepwater Frontier, was $203 million
and  $217  million,  respectively.  At  December  31,  2001, the debt and equity
financing  outstanding  applicable  to  the owner of Deepwater Pathfinder and of
Deepwater Frontier, was $219 million and $236 million, respectively. The Company
and  Conoco have guaranteed their respective share of DD LLC's obligation to pay
the debt and equity financing outstanding. In December 2001, Transocean became a
guarantor of the DDII LLC debt and equity financing through a refinancing of the
lease.  Transocean  and  Conoco  have  guaranteed their respective share of DDII
LLC's  obligation  to  pay  the  debt  and  equity  financing  outstanding.

     Delta  Towing-Immediately  prior  to  the closing of the R&B Falcon merger,
TODCO  formed  a joint venture to own and operate its U.S. inland marine support
vessel business (the "Marine Business"). In connection with the formation of the
joint  venture,  the Marine Business was transferred by a subsidiary of TODCO to
Delta  Towing  LLC ("Delta Towing") in exchange for a 25 percent equity interest
in  Delta  Towing Holdings, LLC, the parent of Delta Towing, and certain secured
notes  payable  from  Delta  Towing. The secured notes consisted of (i) an $80.0
million  principal  amount  note bearing interest at eight percent per annum due
January  30, 2024 (the "Tier 1 Note"), (ii) a contingent $20.0 million principal
amount  note bearing interest at

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

eight percent per annum with an expiration date of January 30, 2011 (the "Tier 2
Note")  and  (iii)  a  contingent  $44.0  million  principal amount note bearing
interest  at eight percent per annum with an expiration date of January 30, 2011
(the  "Tier 3 Note"). The 75 percent equity interest holder in the joint venture
also  loaned  Delta  Towing  $3.0  million  in  the form of a Tier 1 Note. Until
January  2011, Delta Towing must use 100 percent of its excess cash flow towards
the  payment  of principal and interest on the Tier 1 Notes. After January 2011,
50  percent  of  its  excess cash flows are to be applied towards the payment of
principal  and  unpaid interest on the Tier 1 Notes. Interest is due and payable
quarterly  without  regard  to  excess  cash  flow.

     Delta  Towing  must  repay  at  least  (i)  $8.3  million  of the aggregate
principal  amount  of  the  Tier  1  Note no later than January 2004, (ii) $24.9
million  of  the aggregate principal amount no later than January 2006 and (iii)
$62.3  million  of  the  aggregate  principal amount no later than January 2008.
After the Tier 1 Note has been repaid, Delta Towing must apply 75 percent of its
excess  cash flow towards payment of the Tier 2 Note.  Upon the repayment of the
Tier  2  Note,  Delta  Towing  must apply 50 percent of its excess cash to repay
principal  and  interest  on the Tier 3 Note.  Any amounts not yet due under the
Tier  2  and  Tier  3 Notes at the time of their expiration will be waived.  The
Tier  1,  2  and  3  Notes are secured by mortgages and liens on the vessels and
other  assets  of  Delta  Towing.

     TODCO  valued its Tier 1, 2 and 3 Notes at $80 million immediately prior to
the  closing  of the R&B Falcon merger, the effect of which was to fully reserve
the  Tier  2  and 3 Notes. At both December 31, 2002 and 2001, $78.9 million was
outstanding  under  the Company's Tier 1 Note.  For the years ended December 31,
2002  and 2001, the Company earned interest income on the outstanding balance at
each  period of $6.3 million and $5.8 million, respectively, on the Tier 1 Note.
In  December 2001, the note agreement was amended to provide for a $4.0 million,
three-year  revolving  credit  facility  (the  "Delta Towing Revolver") from the
Company.  Amounts drawn under the Delta Towing Revolver accrue interest at eight
percent  per annum, with interest payable quarterly. For the year ended December
31, 2002, the Company earned $0.3 million of interest income on the Delta Towing
Revolver.  At  December  31,  2002, $3.9 million was outstanding under the Delta
Towing  Revolver.  At  December  31, 2001, no amounts were outstanding under the
Delta  Towing  Revolver. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had interest
receivable  from  Delta  Towing  of $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
See  Note  26.

     As  part  of  the  formation  of the joint venture on January 31, 2001, the
Company  entered  into  an  agreement  with Delta Towing under which the Company
committed to charter certain vessels for a period of one year ending January 31,
2002  and  committed  to  charter  for  a  period  of 2.5 years from the date of
delivery 10 crewboats then under construction, all of which had been placed into
service  as  of  December 31, 2002. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the
Company  incurred  charges totaling $10.7 million from Delta Towing for services
rendered, of which $1.6 million was rebilled to the Company's customers and $9.1
million  was  reflected  in  operating  and maintenance expense. During the year
ended  December  31,  2001,  the Company incurred charges totaling $15.6 million
from  Delta  Towing for services rendered, of which $6.5 million was rebilled to
the  Company's  customers  and  $9.1  million  was  reflected  in  operating and
maintenance.

     ODL-In  conjunction  with  the  management  and  operation  of  the  Joides
Resolution  on  behalf of ODL, the Company earned $1.2 million, $1.2 million and
$1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Such  amounts  are  included in operating revenues in the Company's consolidated
statements  of  operations.  At  December  31,  2002  and  2001, the Company had
receivables  from ODL of $1.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively, which were
recorded  as  accounts  receivable  - other in the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE  22-RESTRUCTURING  CHARGES

                     TRANSOCEAN INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

     Ordinary  shares subject to issuance pursuant to the conversion features of
the  convertible  debentures (see Note 8) are not included in the calculation of
adjusted  weighted-average  shares  and assumed conversions for diluted earnings
per  share because the effect of including those shares is anti-dilutive for all
periods presented. Incremental shares related to stock options, restricted stock
grants  and  warrants  are  not  included  in  the  calculation  of  adjusted
weighted-average  shares  and assumed conversions for diluted earnings per share
because the effect of including those shares is anti-dilutive for the year ended
December  31,  2002.

NOTE  24-STOCK  WARRANTS

     In  connection  with  the  R&B  Falcon merger, the Company assumed the then
outstanding  R&B  Falcon  stock  warrants.  Each  warrant  enables the holder to
purchase  17.5  ordinary  shares  at an exercise price of $19.00 per share.  The
warrants expire on May 1, 2009.  In 2001, the Company received $10.6 million and
issued  560,000  ordinary shares as a result of 32,000 warrants being exercised.
At  December  31,  2002  there  were  261,000  warrants  outstanding to purchase
4,567,500  ordinary  shares.

NOTE  26-SUBSEQUENT  EVENTS  (UNAUDITED)

     Initial  Public  Offering-The  Company  is  continuing  with its previously
announced  plans to divest its Gulf of Mexico Shallow and Inland Water business.
Under  this  plan, the Gulf of Mexico Shallow and Inland Water business would be
separated  from  the  Company  and established as a publicly traded company. The
Company  currently  anticipates  that it will establish TODCO as the entity that
owns  the  business.  The  Company  intends  to transfer assets not used in this
business  from  TODCO  to  its  other  subsidiaries and these transfers will not
affect  the consolidated financial statements of Transocean. The Company expects
to  sell  a  portion of its interest in TODCO in an initial public offering when
market conditions warrant, subject to various factors. Given the current general
uncertainty  in  the  equity  and  natural  gas drilling markets, the Company is
unsure  when  the  transaction  could  be completed on terms acceptable to it.

     Asset  Dispositions-In  January 2003, the Company completed the sale of the
jackup  rig,  RBF  160,  to  a third party for net proceeds of $13.0 million and
recognized  a  net  after-tax  gain  on  sale of $0.2 million. The proceeds were
received  in  December  2002  and were reflected as deferred income and proceeds
from asset sales in the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of
cash  flow,  respectively.

     Delta  Towing-In  January  2003,  Delta Towing failed to make its scheduled
quarterly  interest  payment  of $1.7 million on the notes receivable.  See Note
21.  The  Company  has  signed  a  90-day  waiver  on  the  terms for payment of
interest.

     Termination  of Interest Rate Swaps-In January 2003, the Company terminated
the  swaps  with  respect to its 6.75% Senior Notes due April 2005, 6.95% Senior
Notes due April 2008 and 9.5% Senior Notes due December 2008. In March 2003, the
Company  terminated  the  swaps with respect to its 6.625% Notes due April 2011.
See  Note  10.  As  a  result  of  these terminations, the Company received cash
proceeds of $173.5 million, net of accrued interest, which will be recognized as
a  fair value adjustment to long-term debt in the Company's consolidated balance
sheet  and  amortized  as  a  reduction to interest expense over the life of the
underlying  debt.  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2003,  the amount to be
amortized  as  an  adjustment  to  interest  expense will be approximately $23.1
million.

     Foreign  Currency-Venezuela  has  recently  implemented  foreign  exchange
controls  that  limit  the Company's ability to convert local currency into U.S.
dollars  and  transfer  excess  funds  out  of Venezuela. The Company's drilling
contracts in Venezuela typically call for payments to be made in local currency,
even  when  the  dayrate  is denominated in U.S. dollars.  The exchange controls
could  also  result  in  an  artificially  high  value being placed on the local
currency.

ITEM  9.     CHANGES  IN  AND  DISAGREEMENTS  WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
             FINANCIAL  DISCLOSURE

     The  Company  has  not had a change in or disagreement with its accountants
within 24 months prior to the date of its most recent financial statements or in
any  period  subsequent  to  such  date.

ITEM  13.     CERTAIN  RELATIONSHIPS  AND  RELATED  TRANSACTIONS

     The  information required by Items 10, 11, 12 and 13 is incorporated herein
by  reference  to  the  Company's definitive proxy statement for its 2003 annual
general  meeting  of  shareholders,  which will be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act
of  1934  within 120 days of December 31, 2002. Certain information with respect
to  the  executive officers of the Company is set forth in Item 4 of this annual
report  under  the  caption  "Executive  Officers  of  the  Registrant."

ITEM  14.     CONTROLS  AND  PROCEDURES

     Within  the  90  days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried
out  an  evaluation,  under  the  supervision  and with the participation of the
Company's  management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer,  of  the  effectiveness  of  the  design and operation of the Company's
disclosure  controls  and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based
on  that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in
timely  alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including
its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic
SEC  filings.  Subsequent  to  the  date  of  their  evaluation,  there  were no
significant  changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that
could  significantly  affect  the  internal  controls,  including any corrective
actions  with  regard  to  significant  deficiencies  and  material  weaknesses.

     make  the  statements  made, in light of the circumstances under which such
     statements  were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
     this  annual  report;

3.   Based  on  my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and other financial
     information  included in this annual report, fairly present in all material
     respects  the  financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
     the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this annual report;

4.   The  registrant's  other  certifying  officers  and  I  are responsible for
     establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
     in  Exchange  Act  Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and we have:

     a)   Designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  to  ensure that
          material  information  relating  to  the  registrant,  including  its
          consolidated  subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
          entities,  particularly  during the period in which this annual report
          is  being  prepared;

     b)   Evaluated  the  effectiveness  of the registrant's disclosure controls
          and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of
          this  annual  report  (the  "Evaluation  Date");  and

     c)   Presented  in  this  annual  report  our  conclusions  about  the
          effectiveness  of  the disclosure controls and procedures based on our
          evaluation  as  of  the  Evaluation  Date;

5.   The  registrant's  other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on
     our  most  recent  evaluation,  to  the registrant's auditors and the audit
     committee  of  registrant's  board  of directors (or persons performing the
     equivalent  function):

     a)   All  significant  deficiencies  in the design or operation of internal
          controls  which  could  adversely  affect  the registrant's ability to
          record,  process,  summarize  and  report  financial  data  and  have
          identified  for  the  registrant's auditors any material weaknesses in
          internal  controls;  and

     b)   Any  fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
          employees  who  have  a  significant role in the registrant's internal
          controls;  and

6.   The  registrant's  other  certifying  officers and I have indicated in this
     annual  report  whether  or  not there were significant changes in internal
     controls  or  in  other  factors  that  could significantly affect internal
     controls  subsequent  to  the date of our most recent evaluation, including
     any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material
     weaknesses.

     the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this annual report;

4.   The  registrant's  other  certifying  officers  and  I  are responsible for
     establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
     in  Exchange  Act  Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and we have:

     a)   Designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  to  ensure that
          material  information  relating  to  the  registrant,  including  its
          consolidated  subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
          entities,  particularly  during the period in which this annual report
          is  being  prepared;

     b)   Evaluated  the  effectiveness  of the registrant's disclosure controls
          and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of
          this  annual  report  (the  "Evaluation  Date");  and

     c)   Presented  in  this  annual  report  our  conclusions  about  the
          effectiveness  of  the disclosure controls and procedures based on our
          evaluation  as  of  the  Evaluation  Date;

5.   The  registrant's  other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on
     our  most  recent  evaluation,  to  the registrant's auditors and the audit
     committee  of  registrant's  board  of directors (or persons performing the
     equivalent  function):

     a)   All  significant  deficiencies  in the design or operation of internal
          controls  which  could  adversely  affect  the registrant's ability to
          record,  process,  summarize  and  report  financial  data  and  have
          identified  for  the  registrant's auditors any material weaknesses in
          internal  controls;  and

     b)   Any  fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
          employees  who  have  a  significant role in the registrant's internal
          controls;  and

6.   The  registrant's  other  certifying  officers and I have indicated in this
     annual  report  whether  or  not there were significant changes in internal
     controls  or  in  other  factors  that  could significantly affect internal
     controls  subsequent  to  the date of our most recent evaluation, including
     any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material
     weaknesses.
