REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Administrative Committee of the
Weatherford International, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of Weatherford International, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 2004
and 2003, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an
audit of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits
included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis
for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets
(held at end of year) as of December 31, 2004, is presented for purposes of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but
is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the
Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole.

WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL, INC. 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2004
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:
The following description of the Weatherford International, Inc. 401(k) Savings
Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to
the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan established by the board of directors
(the Board of Directors) of Weatherford International, Inc.
The Board of Directors appointed a committee (the Administrative Committee) to
administer the Plan. Merrill Lynch Trust Company (Merrill Lynch) serves as asset
custodian and trustee of the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).
Effective June 26, 2002, Weatherford International Ltd. (the Company) became the
parent holding company of Weatherford International, Inc. following a corporate
reorganization. Weatherford International, Inc. continues to exist as an
indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Eligibility
All employees, other than employees who are subject to collective bargaining
agreements and have not bargained to participate, employees who are nonresident
aliens and receive no U.S.-source income from the Company and employees who are
members of other retirement plans sponsored by the Company or one of its
subsidiaries outside the United States or employed by an affiliate company that
has not adopted the Plan, are eligible to participate in the Plan on their dates
of hire but are not eligible to participate for purposes of the Company's
matching or discretionary contributions until the employee has completed one
year of continuous service.
Contributions
An eligible employee may elect to contribute by payroll deductions to the Plan
on a pre-tax basis subject to certain limitations, up to 50 percent of his or
her considered compensation, as defined by the Plan and on an after tax basis,
up to 16 percent of his or her considered compensation, as defined by the Plan.
The combination of employee contributions cannot exceed 50 percent of considered
compensation, as defined by the Plan. In addition, participants may contribute
amounts representing rollovers from other qualified plans.
Employees who are eligible to make elective deferrals under the Plan and who
have attained the age of 50 before the close of the Plan year are permitted to
make catch-up contributions subject to certain limitations. No matching
contributions shall be made with respect to the catch-up contributions.
The Company shall make matching contributions equal to 50 percent of the
participant's pre-tax contributions up to 6 percent of considered compensation,
as defined by the Plan. Considered compensation used to calculate the Company
match includes overtime, bonuses and commissions but does not include relocation
or severance pay. The Company, solely at the discretion of the Board of
Directors, may make additional discretionary contributions. There were no
discretionary contributions made for the year ended December 31, 2004.
5
WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL, INC. 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Participant Accounts
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions, the
Company's matching contributions, an allocation of the Company's discretionary
contribution, if any, and Plan earnings or losses thereon. Earnings or losses
are allocated by investment based on the ratio of the participant's account
invested in a particular investment to all participants' accounts in that
investment.
Investment Options
Participants may invest in any of ten mutual funds, two collective trusts, a
money market account and Weatherford International Ltd. common shares (Common
Shares). Each participant who has invested in Common Shares has the right to
vote the shares in his or her account with respect to any matter that comes
before the shareholders for a vote. Shares of Grant Prideco, Inc. common stock
received as a result of a prior transaction may be sold and reinvested in other
investment options, but no additional shares may be purchased.
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their elective deferral account,
rollovers from other qualified plans, the participant's Company match and
discretionary contribution accounts.
Expenses of the Plan
During 2004, administrative fees incurred by the Plan were paid by the Company,
except for participant loan fees, which were paid from the account of the
participant requesting the loan.
Participant Loans
Participants may borrow from their vested account balances a minimum of $1,000
up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 reduced by the highest
outstanding loan balance in the preceding one year period or one half of the
fair market value of the participant's vested account balance. Loan maturity
dates range from one year to five years except when the loan is used to purchase
a participant's principal residence. In the case of home loans, all such loans
are required to be repaid within ten years. The loans are fully secured by a
pledge of the participant's vested account balance and bear interest at the
prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal or at a rate determined by the
Administrative Committee.
Withdrawals and Terminations
A participant may withdraw the value of his or her after-tax contributions or
rollover contributions to the Plan at any time and for any reason during the
year, with a minimum withdrawal of $500. The participant's pre-tax contributions
and Company contributions will be available to a participant who has attained
age 59-1/2 or in the event of severe and immediate financial hardship.
Withdrawals based on financial hardship result in a suspension of employee
contributions for 6 months.
In the event of normal retirement, total and permanent disability or death while
actively employed, the full value of the participant's account balance will be
distributed to the participant or his or her beneficiary as a lump sum. Upon
termination of employment, the participant's entire account balance will be
available for withdrawal. If the participant's account balance is less than
$5,000, the participant is paid a lump-sum payment as soon as practicable after
his or her termination date. Certain benefits related to other forms of payment
are protected by the Plan.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance
with the accrual method of accounting. Benefits are recorded when paid.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires the Administrative Committee to make
estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes and schedule. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Valuation of Investments and Income Recognition
The fair value of investments in collective trusts is based on the market value
of their underlying assets as determined by the investment issuer. Investments
in mutual funds and common stocks are reported at fair market value based on
quoted market prices. Participant loans receivable are stated at cost, which
approximates fair value.
Interest and dividend income is recorded when earned. Purchases and sales of
securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Realized gains (losses) on the
sale of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value
of investments are shown as net appreciation in fair value of collective trusts,
common stocks and mutual funds on the statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits. No dividends were paid on the Company's Common Shares
during 2004.
3. INVESTMENTS:
Individual investments that represent 5 percent or more of the Plan's net assets
available for benefits at December 31, 2004 or 2003 are as follows:
2004 2003
--------------- --------------

4. ASSETS TRANSFERRED FROM OTHER PLAN:
Effective December 31, 2004, account balances of participants totaling
$3,358,413 were liquidated and transferred to the Plan from the eProduction
Solutions, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (eProduction Plan). The net assets of the
eProduction Plan were received by the Plan on January 3, 2005 and are therefore
reflected as a receivable as of December 31, 2004 and are included in Transfers
from Other Plan in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available
for Benefits.
7
WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL, INC. 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Effective January 1, 2005, eProduction Solutions, Inc. (eProduction) adopted the
Plan and each employee of eProduction on December 31, 2004 who is eligible to
participate in the eProduction Plan became eligible to participate in the Plan.
Each employee of eProduction hired on or after January 1, 2005, is subject to
the eligibility provisions of the Plan.
5. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES:
The Plan provides for various investments in collective trusts, mutual funds, a
money market fund and common stocks. Investment securities, in general, are
exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit and overall market
volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment
securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment
securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially
affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for
benefits and participant account balances.
6. TAX STATUS:
The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on June 9, 2003, in which the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in
compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the Code). The Plan has been amended since receiving the
determination letter. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in
conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan sponsor has
indicated that it will take the necessary steps, if any, to bring the Plan's
operations into compliance with the Code.
