Transocean Inc.
is the world’s largest offshore drilling contractor with a fleet of 82 mobile
offshore drilling units. The company’s mobile offshore drilling fleet, consisting of a large
number of high specification deepwater and harsh environment drilling units, is considered
one of the most modern and versatile in the world due to its emphasis on technically
demanding segments of the offshore drilling business. The company’s fleet consists of 33
High-Specification Floaters (semisubmersibles and drillships), 20 Other Floaters, 25 Jackups
and other assets utilized in the support of offshore drilling activities worldwide.
Transocean’s worldwide operations have grown as the company pioneered drilling at increasingly greater water depths and
harsher conditions. Since launching the industry’s first jackup drilling rig in 1954, Transocean has achieved numerous
technological firsts. These innovations include the first dynamically positioned drillship, the first rig to drill year-round in
the North Sea, the first semisumbersible for sub-Arctic, year-round operations and the latest generation of ultra-deepwater
semisubmersibles and drillships.
Transocean holds by far the most world water-depth drilling records and as of May 2007 held the current world records
for water depth, subsea completion and moored rig operations. Most notably, the Discoverer Deep Seas worked in 10,011
feet of water in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico for Chevron in November 2003, breaking the industry’s 10,000-foot water-depth
barrier.
A Cayman Islands exempted corporation, Transocean has approximately 12,500 personnel worldwide. Principal U.S. executive
offices are at 4 Greenway Plaza, Houston, Texas 77046, where the telephone number is 713-232-7500.
With a current equity market capitalization on May 18, 2007 in excess of $27 billion, Transocean Inc.’s ordinary shares are
traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “RIG.”
