01 Market fundamentals 3

Key Take away Messages • Future supply of oil and gas will be adequate to meet demand – just − Demand driven by non-OECD Growth − All potential sources of supply must be exploited • Deep and Ultra-Deep Water are key to supply • Half of demand for Deep Water drilling rigs will be for development drilling − Development drilling will require mobile units − More specialization in rig designs • Costs are very critical in this business − Low cost, efficient service is an advantage 4

Demand IEA 2011 New Liquids Supply/Demand Balance Policies Scenario IEA 2011 Current Policies Scenario Million boe/d Supply 0.8% (CAGR) • Demand growth projections vary EIA 2011 Population growth 0.9% 120 Demand outlook current policies 1.0% from 0.7% to 1.0% per annum BP 2011 adj* through 2035 100 • Supply growth requires new Deepwater non- deepwater projects as well as producing onshore unconventional resources 80 Offshore shelf non-producing • By 2035 over 33% of the projected Offshore oil supply is currently not on producing 60 production and substantial part is yet to be found Unconventional 40 • Production will struggle to keep up Iraq with demand and only in the “high supply” and “low demand” case will Onshore 20 there be an oversupply conventional (excl Iraq) • A strong base for oil price and 0 service demands 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 2040 5

Global discoveries Global discoveries by water depth Discoveries of oil and gas deeper than 400 ft Million boe/decade Million boe/decade (much unconventional from 2000s) 7 Source: Rystad Energy UCube

Most deepwater discoveries still not developed Discoveries of oil and gas deeper than 400 ft by current status Start-up of oil and gas disc. deeper than 400 ft by current status Million boe/decade Million boe/decade 55% of discovered resources not yet put in production – a significant backlog of deepwater discoveries to be developed Resources found, but not yet developed 8 Source: Rystad Energy UCube

Summary of global deepwater drivers – stage set for growth Global oil and gas deepwater resource inventory • 142 Bboe of deepwater resources have been found and developed globally. billion boe • 50% has been produced 591 831 Ultra deepwater* • 174 Bboe have been found but have not yet been developed. Deepwater** GLOBAL INVENTORY • Deepwater development backlog amounts to 55% of volume discovered so far 484 • Another 590 Bboe of resources are expected to be discovered. • 90% higher than what has already been discovered 174 107 • Overall, based purely on resource 122 numbers, less than 15% of the global 67 52 deepwater drilling effort that is due to 59 happen in the past and future, has already 7 -3 taken place Produced Developed Discovered Yet to find Current -72 inventory -75 ACTIVITY appraisal • Exploration wells • Development wells • Infill wells • Intervention * Water depths 400-5000 feet **Water depths exceeding 5000 feet 9 Source: Rystad Energy UCube

02 Future implications 10

Deepwater exploration drilling requirements Global floating rig exploration* drilling demand by asset/license states • The number of exploration and appraisal wells is expected to rise by 50% By number of wells By number of rigs within 2020 • Discovered resource volumes are become increasingly drilling intensive • Petrobras’ subsalt drilling requires much more rig capacity per well, • Leading to a step increase in rig demand while number of wells are fairly 2007 2009 2011 2013 2015 2017 2019 2007 2009 2011 2013 2015 2017 2019 flat from 2008 to 2013. *Includes appraisal drilling 11 Source: Rystad Energy UCube

Future Implications • Half of future demand for mobile units will be for Development Drilling • Do we need the same rig designs for development drilling and exploration? • Yes, but …… − ease of mobility not a driver for development drilling − ease of holding station and movements is a driver − manage pressure operations more likely − costs are a significant driver in developments • Door is open now for more specialized rig designs and operations 12

03 The Sevan design 13

Unique and Cost Efficient Design Sevan Driller Sevan Brasil 2 x UDW new build rigs • Delivered from COSCO end 2009 • Delivered from COSCO February 2012 • Contract with COSCO for two new rigs of Sevan 650 design • In operation for Petrobras under a six • Will operate for Petrobras under a six year contract • Turnkey contract year contract – start-up in Q2 2012 • 98 % uptime in Q4 2011 • Delivery in Q4 2013 and Q2 2014 • COSCO has excellent safety record, over 5 Million Man-hours with no LTI • Over one year without LTI • Options on two additional rigs (5 & 6) 14

Why is it round? • Based on a circular design concept − First developed as an FPSO − 3 FPSO’s − 2 Drilling Rigs (Driller and Brasil) − 1 FPSO under construction (ENI for Goliath Field) • Significant storage capacity − On the main deck − Below main deck – either bulk or liquids • No appreciable pitch or roll − Heave compensation − Design changes • Transit speed 6 knots fully loaded • Easier to keep on station 15
