Seadrill estimated the downtime for the deepwater rigs in operation to be 41
days for the fourth quarter. After closing the quarter revised estimates show
downtime has increasing to approximately 100, days, mainly due to BOP issues on
several of the Company's rigs.

transition process to London, as well as expenses related to the development of
one specific IT project. During the transition process the general and
administrative costs will be US$10-20 million higher than what has been
historically reported, but is expected to be reduced after the transition
process has been finalized in the second half of 2013.

its new contract with Statoil on January 31, 2013.
