NEITHER
TRANSOCEAN INC. NOR ITS AFFILIATES MAKE ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES
(INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE) REGARDING THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT,
WHICH INFORMATION IS PROVIDED "AS IS." Neither Transocean Inc. nor its

Client Contract Duration and Dayrates and Risks Associated with Operations.
The
duration of the client contracts is the estimated duration only, and client
contracts are subject to cancellation or suspension for a variety of reasons,
including some beyond the control of Transocean Inc. Also, the dayrates set
forth in the report are estimates based upon the full contractual operating
dayrate. However, the actual average dayrate earned over the course of any
given
contract will be lower and could be substantially lower. The actual average
dayrate will depend upon a number of factors (rig downtime, suspension of
operations, etc.) including some beyond the control of Transocean Inc. Our
client contracts and operations are generally subject to a number of risks
and
uncertainties, and we urge you to review the description and explanation of
such
risks and uncertainties in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC), which are available free of charge on the SEC’s website at
www.sec.gov.

Footnotes:
|
(1)
|
Dates
shown are the original service date and the date of the most recent
upgrade, if any.
|
|
(2)
|
Expiration
dates represent the company's current estimate of the earliest date
the
contract for each rig is likely to expire. Some rigs have two contracts
in
continuation, so the second line shows the estimated earliest
availability. Many contracts permit the client to extend the
contract.
|
|
(3)
|
Represents
the full operating dayrate, although the average dayrate over the
term of
the contract will be lower and could be substantially lower. Does
not
reflect incentive programs which are typically based on the rig's
operating performance against a performance
curve.
|
|
(4)
|
The
rig is leased from its owner, an unrelated third party, pursuant
to a
fully defeased lease arrangement.
|
|
(5)
|
Although
originally constructed in 1982, this unit was substantially upgraded
in
1996.
|
|
(6)
|
Owned
by a joint venture in which the company has a 75%
interest.
|
|
(7)
|
Operated
under a management contract with the rig's owner. The rig is currently
engaged in scientific geological coring activities and is owned by
a joint
venture in which the company has a 50% interest. Dayrate indicated
reflects 100% of contract rate.
|
|
(8)
|
Current
contract provides for a bonus incentive opportunity not reflected
in the
stated current contract dayrate.
|
|
(9)
|
Dayrate
reflects a base level to be paid over the estimated 450-day contract
period. The rig will receive a dayrate higher than the stated base
level
when utilized in a water depth of greater than 2,000
feet.
|
|
(10)
|
An
arbitration process to determine the rig's dayrate, disputed by the
client
since February 2005, was concluded in June 2005, resulting in a revised
dayrate of $132,600.
|
|
(11)
|
Dayrate
for contract period September 2007 through September 2010 to be set
using
a quarterly average of the stated contract dayrates on the company's
other
Fifth-Generation, dynamically positioned rigs operating in the U.S.
Gulf
of Mexico.
|
|
(12)
|
Contract
includes an additional $21,700 per day to cover escalation of costs
over
the contract period.
|
|
(13)
|
Contract
includes an additional $22,300 per day to cover escalation of costs
over
the contract period.
|
|
(14)
|
Reflects
contracted dayrate which could slightly change due to foreign exchange
adjustments.
