  Transocean Inc. (NYSE: RIG) Fleet Update
 
The information contained in this Fleet Update report (the “Information”) is as of the date of the report only and is subject to change without notice to the recipient. Transocean Inc. assumes no duty to update any portion of the Information.

DISCLAIMER. 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 affiliates will be liable to any recipient or anyone else for any inaccuracy, error or omission, regardless of cause, in the information set forth in this report or for any damages (whether direct or indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary) resulting therefrom.

No Unauthorized Publication or Use. All information provided by Transocean Inc. in this report is given for the exclusive use of the recipient and may not be published, redistributed or retransmitted without the prior written consent of Transocean Inc.

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.

Forward-Looking Statement

Forward-looking statements made in the Fleet Update include, but are not limited to, statements involving the estimated duration of client contracts, contract dayrate amounts and future contract commencement dates and locations. 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, competition and market conditions in the contract drilling industry, actions and approvals of third parties, possible cancellation or suspension of drilling contracts as a result of mechanical difficulties or performance, possible cancellation or suspension of letters of intent, 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-K for the most recently completed fiscal year, in the Company's Forms 10-Q for subsequent periods 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 statements.


Fleet Classification. Transocean Inc. uses a rig classification for its semisubmersible rigs and drillships to reflect the company's strategic focus on the ownership and operation of premium, high specification floating rigs. The rig classification, "High Specification Fleet," is comprised of "5th Generation Deepwater," which refers to the latest generation of semisubmersible rigs and drillships possessing the latest technical drilling capabilities and the ability to operate in water depths in excess of 7,000 feet, "Other Deepwater," which refers to semisubmersible rigs and drillships that possess the ability to drill in water depths equal to or greater than 4,500 feet, and "Other High Specification," comprised of four of the company's premium harsh environment rigs, the semisubmersibles Henry Goodrich, Paul B. Loyd, Jr., Transocean Arctic and Polar Pioneer. The category titled "Other Floaters" represents semisubmersible rigs and drillships that possess the ability to drill in water depths of up to 4,499 feet.

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)
The rig's new dayrate, effective in February 2005, is disputed by the customer and is subject to a pending arbitration process.
   
(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.
