     The  statements  made  in  the Monthly Fleet Update that are not historical
facts  are  forward-looking  statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the

Forward-looking statements made in the Monthly Fleet Update include, but are not

Such  statements  are  subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions,
including but not limited to, uncertainties relating to the level of activity in
offshore  and  U.S.  inland  marine  oil  and  gas  exploration and development,
exploration  success  by  producers,  oil and gas prices, competition and market
conditions  in  the  contract  drilling industry, actions and approvals of third
parties,  the  Company's  ability  to  successfully  integrate the operations of
acquired  businesses,  newbuild  rig  performance,  possible  cancellation  or
suspension  of  drilling  contracts  as  a  result of mechanical difficulties or
performance,  the  Company's  ability  to  enter  into  and  the terms of future
contracts,  the  availability  of  qualified  personnel, labor relations and the
outcome  of  negotiations  with  unions representing workers, operating hazards,
political and other uncertainties inherent in non-U.S. operations (including the
risk  of  war and civil disturbance, seizure or damage of equipment and exchange
and currency fluctuations), the impact of governmental laws and regulations, the
adequacy of sources of liquidity, the effect of litigation and contingencies and
other  factors  described above and discussed in the Company's Form 10-Q for the
quarter  ended  September 30, 2002 and Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2001  and  in the Company's other filings with the SEC, which are available free
of  charge  on  the  SEC's  website at www.sec.gov.  Should one or more of these
risks  or  uncertainties  materialize,  or  should  underlying assumptions prove
incorrect,  actual results may vary materially from those indicated.  You should
not  place  undue  reliance on forward-looking statements.  Each forward-looking
statement  speaks  only  as  of  the  date  of  the particular statement, and we
undertake  no  obligation  to  publicly  update  or  revise  any forward-looking
