Current Jackup Market
• Demand from diverse customer base across multiple regions
• Some customers reevaluating certain programs in light of the decline in commodity prices
• New five-year lows for oil and increased commodity price volatility
• Shallow water drilling is profitable at lower commodity price levels and customer activity remains higher for jackups vs. floaters
• New technology facilitates drilling more complex wells economically
• Must be cognizant of new supply
– Zero contracted by non-established drillers thus far
• Aging of current global fleet should lead to more retirements, especially as rigs approach 30/35 year surveys

Ensco’s Proactive Fleet Management
2Q14
• Moved five floaters to held for sale to proactively reduce expenses
• $1.5 billion impairment charge
• Streamlined discretionary capex in light of market conditions
• “Some of our competitors have rigs in the 35-year plus age group in much higher numbers. If they, too, conclude that reducing operating costs is the best option, then we could see more floaters come out of the system.”
3Q14
• Sold four jackups for more than $200 million
– 16 jackups sold since 2010
12
2H14 Competitor Actions
Transocean
• $2.6 billion in goodwill & asset impairment charges (3Q14)
• “We intend to scrap certain cold stacked rigs, recognizing their limited potential to re-enter the market. The Company will continue to assess the competitiveness of non-core assets on a case by case basis and we are likely to retire additional rigs.” (3Q14)
• Scrapping an additional seven low-spec deepwater and midwater floaters – $100+ million impairment (4Q14)
13
2H14 Competitor Actions
Diamond
• Scrapping six floaters – $100 million impairment (3Q14)

Paragon
• $900 million impairment for four floaters (3Q14)
