Our contract announcements reflect the continued strength in deep and mid-water markets,” said Larry Dickerson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Diamond Offshore. “In particular, we are pleased with the award for the Ocean Onyx, our deepwater semisubmersible rig currently under construction. The Company is currently evaluating another potential project that would deliver a rig with enhanced capabilities, similar to the Ocean Onyx.” “Over the past several quarters, our results have also benefitted from our ongoing efforts to control costs and reduce unanticipated rig downtime,” said Dickerson. “During the second quarter, we continued to execute on these initiatives, which contributed to our strong operating results.”Tiedote

"Industry fundamentals remain solid across the offshore spectrum, as evidenced by the continued success with securing contracts for both floating and jackup rigs. The standard jackup sector has experienced substantial improvement over 2012, with recent contract signings on 15 rigs in the Noble fleet representing an average dayrate improvement of approximately 40 percent from the previous contract dayrate. In the ultra-deepwater sector, a record year for announced discoveries, along with expanding geographic reach by our customers, greater offshore access and a building field development project backlog, are leading to expected higher customer demand, longer contract durations and the prospects for higher dayrates. Our newbuild delivery schedule is well timed to address increasing customer needs for ultra-deepwater drillships and high-specification jackups, both of which address the increasing complexity of many wells to be drilled in the future, while offering improved operating efficiencies. "The anticipated scope of our fleet transformation is beginning to take shape, as new assets are added to the active fleet, improving the overall mix of the asset base, while serving as the most significant catalyst for improving earnings and cash flow over the coming years."Tiedote
