         This amendment is being filed to correct the total percentage of
committed fleet days in 2002 and the estimated change in earnings per share
resulting from a change in dayrate assumption associated with uncommitted fleet
days.

ITEM 9.    REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

         In accordance with Regulation FD, information is being furnished below
in connection with presentations being made by officers of Transocean Sedco
Forex Inc. (the "Company"):

         The utilization rate and average dayrates for the Company's inland
drilling barge fleet declined during the fourth quarter of 2001 to a
utilization rate in the mid 50% range (increasing to 60% at the end of the
quarter) and average dayrate in the mid $22,000 range.

         The Company's current view of rig demand trends for early 2002 for the
Company's deepwater rigs is generally flat in the Gulf of Mexico, North Sea,
Brazil, West Africa, Middle East and Southeast Asia markets. The Company's
current view of rig demand trends for early 2002 for the Company's midwater rigs
is generally declining in the Gulf of Mexico and North Sea markets and generally
flat in the Brazil, West Africa and Southeast Asia markets. The Company's
current view of rig demand trends for early 2002 for the Company's jackup rigs
is generally declining in the Gulf of Mexico market and generally flat in the
North Sea, Brazil, West Africa, Middle East and Southeast Asia markets.

         For the Company's International/U.S. Floater Contract Drilling Services
segment, 56 percent of the fleet days in the year 2002 are currently committed,
and 44 percent are uncommitted. For the Company's Gulf of Mexico Shallow &
Inland Water segment, 6

                                      -2-

percent of the fleet days in the year 2002 are currently committed, and 94
percent are uncommitted. For the two segments, a total of 37 percent of the
fleet days in the year 2002 are currently committed. The estimated operating
revenue for the committed fleet days for the two segments in 2002 is
approximately $1.8 billion. A $5,000 change in the dayrate assumption associated
with uncommitted fleet days equates to an estimated $0.44 change in earnings per
share.

         The Company's pro forma (assuming completion of the R&B Falcon merger
as of January 1, 2000) capital expenditures during the year 2000 were $1,040
million. The Company's estimated pro forma capital expenditures are $545 million
for 2001 and the Company's estimated capital expenditures are $200 million for
each of 2002, 2003 and 2004.

         The Company has received total estimated proceeds of $200 million from
asset sales since January 31, 2001.

         For the 11 months ended November 30, 2001, the Company's newbuild fleet
experienced approximately 15% downtime and the Company's Gulf of Mexico and
international conventional fleet experienced approximately 2.5% downtime.
