The
statements made in the Transocean Fleet Update that are not historical facts
are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Forward-looking statements made in the Transocean Fleet Update include, but
are
not limited to, statements involving the estimated duration of client contracts,
contract dayrate amounts and future contract commencement dates and locations.
Such statements are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions,
including but not limited to, uncertainties relating to the level of activity
in
offshore and U.S. inland marine oil and gas exploration and development,
exploration success by producers, oil and gas prices, competition and market
conditions in the contract drilling industry, actions and approvals of third
parties, possible cancellation or suspension of drilling contracts as a result
of mechanical difficulties or performance, the Company’s ability to enter into
and the terms of future contracts, the availability of qualified personnel,
labor relations and the outcome of negotiations with unions representing
workers, operating hazards, political and other uncertainties inherent in
non-U.S. operations (including the risk of war and civil disturbance, seizure
or
damage of equipment and exchange and currency fluctuations), the impact of
governmental laws and regulations, the adequacy of sources of liquidity, the
effect of litigation and contingencies and other factors described above and
discussed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and in
the Company’s other filings with the SEC, which are available free of charge on
the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results may vary materially from those indicated. You should not place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement
speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and we undertake no
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward looking
statements.
The
information in Item 7.01 of this report, including Exhibit 99.1, is being
furnished, not filed. Accordingly, the information in Item 7.01 of this report
will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed
by
the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically
identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference. The furnishing

the information in this report is not intended to, and does not, constitute
a
determination or admission by the Company that the information in this report
