This fleet status report contains information on contracts and letters of intent or awards with our customers. Letters of intent or awards are noted in the comments section and may not result in an actual drilling contract. The information contained in this fleet status report is as of the date of the report only and is subject to change without notice to the recipient, and we assume no duty to update any portion of the information contained herein. This fleet status report contains statements that are not historical facts, which are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about estimated duration of client contracts, contract dayrate amounts, future contract commencement dates, shipyard projects, our business, financial performance and prospects. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Various factors could cause actual results to differ materially.
|
||||||||||||||||
Full Contract Dayrate reflects the full daywork operating rate payable to the Company by the operator as provided in the applicable drilling contract unless otherwise specified. The average dayrate over the term of the 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 our control. Our client contracts and operations are generally subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. We discuss these factors, including risks, uncertainties and assumptions concerning actions by our clients, governments and other third parties, drilling activity levels, market conditions, operational difficulties, weather related events and other matters, from time to time in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which we urge you to review and which are available free of charge on the SEC’s Web site at www.sec.gov.

Standby rate from June 15, 2010 though December 12, 2010. Pursuant to the agreement reached regarding the standby period, the companies have agreed to negotiate in good faith to enter into a new drilling contract for the unit following the standby period at a dayrate of $396,000-$398,000. The parties contemplate that the term of this new contract would be equal to the remainder of the original contract term, previously expected to end in November 2011, exclusive of the standby period. However, there is no guarantee that agreement or a new contract will be reached. BOP is in the certification process.

We have a dispute with our client, Anadarko, who terminated the drilling contract effective June 13, 2010 under the force majeure provisions of the contract. We do not believe Anadarko had the right to terminate and have included the related revenues in our backlog ($117 million). We will not realize this amount if Anadarko is successful in the related litigation. BOP is in the certification process.

Pursuant to our agreement with Shell and in connection with the Frontier transaction closing, Noble will reduce the current dayrate to $335,000-$337,000. This same dayrate, plus an increase for anticipated capital expenditures expected to be incurred at the request of Shell, will also apply during a three-year extension, which is scheduled to begin following the conclusion of the current contract in March 2011 (plus the suspension period and plus any upgrade period to the extent it occurs beyond the period of suspension). The revised dayrate will be eligible for a 15% performance bonus. BOP is in the certification process.

Payment of the dayrate is subject to the resolution to this dispute. The rig has been on standby since April 24, 2010 and continues to be on standby. Pending resolution of this dispute, the Company has been reserving the revenue stream.
