This Report and the exhibits hereto contain forward-looking statements that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and are based on information as of the date of this Report or the respective dates the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q were originally filed, as applicable. We assume no obligation to update these statements based on information after the date of this Report or the respective dates the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q were originally filed, as applicable. |
Forward-looking statements include words or phrases such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "project," "could," "may," "might," "should," "will" and words and phrases of similar import. The forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding future operations, industry trends or conditions and the business environment; statements regarding future levels of, or trends in, day rates, utilization, revenues, operating expenses, contract backlog, capital expenditures, insurance, financing and funding; statements regarding future construction (including construction in progress and completion thereof), enhancement, upgrade or repair of rigs and timing thereof; future mobilization, relocation or other movement of rigs and timing thereof; future availability or suitability of rigs and timing thereof; and statements regarding the likely outcome of litigation, legal proceedings, investigations or claims and timing thereof. |
Forward-looking statements are made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Numerous factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including: |
| industry conditions and competition, including changes in rig supply and demand or new technology, |
| risks associated with the current global economic crisis and its impact on capital markets and liquidity, |
| prices of oil and natural gas in general, and the recent precipitous decline in prices in particular, and the impact of commodity prices upon future levels of drilling activity and expenditures, |
| material changes in recognition of revenue resulting from the deferral of revenues payable by our customers for mobilization of our drilling rigs, waiting on weather or time in shipyards that are deferred until we commence drilling operations, |
| excess rig availability or supply resulting from delivery of new drilling rigs, |
| heavy concentration of our rig fleet in premium jackups, |
| cyclical nature of the industry, |
| worldwide expenditures for oil and gas drilling, |
| operational risks, including hazards created by severe storms and hurricanes, |
| risks associated with offshore rig operations or rig relocations in general, and in foreign jurisdictions in particular, |
| renegotiation, nullification or breach of contracts or letters of intent with customers or other parties, including failure to negotiate definitive contracts following announcements or receipt of letters of intent, |
3 |
|
| changes in the dates new contracts actually commence, |
| changes in the dates our rigs will enter a shipyard, be delivered, return to or enter service, |
| risks inherent to domestic and foreign shipyard rig construction, repair or enhancement, including risks associated with concentration of our ENSCO 8500 Series® rig construction contracts in a single foreign shipyard, unexpected delays in equipment delivery and engineering or design issues following shipyard delivery, |
| availability of transport vessels to relocate rigs, |
| environmental or other liabilities, risks or losses, whether related to hurricane equipment damage, losses or liabilities (including wreckage or debris removal) in the Gulf of Mexico or otherwise, that may arise in the future which are not covered by insurance or indemnity in whole or in part, |
| limited availability of economic insurance coverage for certain perils such as hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico or associated removal of wreckage or debris, |
| self-imposed or regulatory limitations on drilling locations in the Gulf of Mexico during hurricane season, |
| impact of current and future government laws and regulation affecting the oil and gas industry in general and our operations in particular, including taxation as well as repeal or modification of same, |
| political and economic uncertainties, |
| our ability to attract and retain skilled personnel, |
| expropriation, nationalization, deprivation, terrorism or military action impacting our operations, assets or financial performance, |
| outcome of litigation, legal proceedings, investigations or claims, |
| adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and; |
| potential reduction in fair value of our auction rate securities. |
In addition to the numerous factors described above, you should carefully read and consider "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Part I and "Item 7.
