Slide Presentation

On November 5, 2008, we posted a slide presentation on our website at www.deepwater.com. The slide presentation was also furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed that day. A revised slide presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A and is incorporated herein by reference. The attached slide presentation replaces the slide presentation filed November 5, 2008 which contained erroneous information. The slide presentation has also been updated on our website.

Statements contained within the slide presentation that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to projections relating to out-of-service forecasts, operating and maintenance costs trends, contract backlog, and other statements that are not historical facts. Such statements are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including but not limited to, uncertainties relating to the level of activity in offshore oil and gas exploration and development, exploration success by producers, oil and gas prices, rig demand and capacity, drilling industry market conditions, possible delays or cancellation of drilling contracts, work stoppages, operational or other downtime, the Company’s ability to enter into and the terms of future contracts, the availability of qualified personnel, labor relations, future financial results, operating hazards, political and other uncertainties inherent in non-U.S. operations (including exchange and currency fluctuations), war, terrorism, natural disaster and cancellation or unavailability of insurance coverage, the impact of governmental laws and regulations, the adequacy of sources of liquidity, the effect of litigation and contingencies and other factors discussed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“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. We caution investors not to 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 statements, except as required by law.
