Business Strategy
Customer demand for new high-specification units supported by:
Need for rigs well-suited for drilling through deep and complex formations and drilling horizontally
Enhanced efficiency providing faster drilling and moving times
Improved safety features and lower downtime for maintenance
Technological developments have made ultra-deepwater exploration more feasible and cost-effective in recent
years
Water-depth capability and equipping of Vantage's ultra-deepwater drilling units is attractive for customers
Will provide significant advantages in obtaining long-term ultra-deepwater drilling contracts in the future
Long-term

contracts
for
Platinum
Explorer
(5
years)
and
Titanium
Explorer
(8
years)
Jackups operating on contracts with average 14-month terms (average 12 months remaining backlog)
$2.8 billion in contract backlog mitigates cyclical oil and gas industry risk
Focused on expanding relationships with national oil companies, major oil companies, large independents and
super-regionals
Will lead to longer-term contracts to build backlog
Strong

Premium jackups (350’
+ IC rigs)
and ultra-deepwater  floater have
historically maintained
significantly higher utilization
levels, particularly during
downturns in the energy industry
A higher utilization level in the
international drilling market
continues to reflect a more stable
rig supply and demand
environment than the Gulf of
Mexico
Operators are willing to pay a
substantial dayrate premium for
high-specification rigs

Operators demand newer,
higher specification rigs due to
superior operating
performance, resulting in lower
maintenance downtimes,
improved safety and higher
efficiency


Capabilities
and
age
The current worldwide fleet is comprised mostly of older, inefficient rigs
Setting
up
cyclical
recovery
Reduction in the overall fleet should result in pricing power and high utilization
levels early on during the recovery
Age
is
a
factor
Demand is increasing for high-specification jackups.  Many customers are implementing age
restrictions and new high-specification characteristics
