Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation contains 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. All such statements, other than statements of
historical fact, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, including, without limitation, any projections of financial items; projections of contracting services activity; future
production volumes, results of exploration, exploitation, development, acquisition and operations expenditures, and
prospective reserve levels of properties or wells; projections of utilization; any statements of the plans, strategies and
objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning developments; and any statements of
assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. These statements involve certain assumptions we made based on our
experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors
we believe are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. The forward-looking statements are subject to
a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ
materially. The risks, uncertainties and assumptions referred to above include the performance of contracts by
suppliers, customers and partners; actions by governmental and regulatory authorities; operating hazards and
delays; employee management issues; local, national and worldwide economic conditions; uncertainties inherent in
the exploration for and development of oil and gas and in estimating reserves; complexities of global political and
economic developments; geologic risks, volatility of oil and gas prices and other risks described from time to time in
our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the Company’s most recently filed
Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. Free copies of the reports can be
found at the SEC’s website, www.SEC.gov. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements which speak only as of the date of this presentation and the associated press release. We assume no
obligation or duty and do not intend to update these forward-looking statements except as required by the securities
laws.
References to quantities of oil or gas include amounts we believe will ultimately be produced, and may include
“proved reserves” and quantities of oil or gas that are not yet classified as “proved reserves” under SEC definitions.
Statements of oil and gas reserves are estimates based on assumptions and may be imprecise. Investors are urged
to consider closely the disclosure regarding reserves in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and any
subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Who We Are
Helix is a specialty service provider to
the offshore energy industry, with a
focus on growing our Well Intervention
and Robotics business units.
We utilize free cash flow from our Oil
and Gas production to support
expansion in the Well Intervention and
Robotics business units.
 
 

 
Contracting Services Provider
Strategic Areas of Focus
Well Intervention: Entering a wellbore to
initiate, enhance or restore production as part
of the well’s natural life cycle
Robotics: Providing remotely operated
vehicles (ROVs) to perform deepwater service
tasks beyond the reach of dive crews
Why focus on these disciplines?
Strong current demand with projected
sustained growth
Significant barriers to entry
 o Capital-intensive at the top end of the market,
 for both vessels and skilled crews
 o Mastery of full range of services necessary to
 add value
 o Strong track record critical to earning
 customer trust

WELL INTERVENTION
 Dynamically
 Positioned for
 Growth
 
 
 

 
Well Intervention Overview
Well intervention involves entering a wellbore in order to initiate, maximize or abandon
production across the life of a well.
11
 
 

 
Intervention Needs Rise with Well Count and Age
Source: Quest Offshore Resources
Subsea wells installed base (2002 - 2012)
Installed subsea completion base over 5 yrs old
Installed subsea completion base 5 yrs or younger
Note: Total installed base includes all subsea well completions from 1990, not adjusted for wells decommissioned 2007-2012
 Need for intervention
 typically occurs after 5 yrs
 of production, due to:
 o Reduced pressure in wells
 o Increased water or sand
 production
 o Scaling in wells
 o Other factors
 Oil wells generally have a
 greater need for intervention
 than gas and injection wells

What Sets Helix Apart in Well Intervention
 The Helix fleet pioneered modern deepwater well intervention techniques
 o MSV Seawell, the industry’s first dedicated monohull light well intervention vessel
 o MODU Q4000, the industry’s first semi-submersible vessel dedicated to riser-
 deployed well intervention
 o MSV Well Enhancer, the industry’s first LWI monohull to deploy coiled tubing for
 well intervention
 o Subsea Intervention Lubricators (SILs) make intervention possible for a broad
 range of applications, including connecting to the Macondo well in 2010
 
 Only intervention company with expertise in all intervention asset categories
 A significant track record of global intervention successes
 o Primary operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, and Southeast Asia
 o Further growth potential in emerging global markets, including West Africa,
 Asia Pacific, and Brazil

OIL & GAS
 Helix is a
 Gulf of Mexico
 Oil and Gas
 Producer
 
 

 
Helix is Not a Traditional E&P Company
29
Traditional E&P Company Strategy
Helix E&P Strategy
Significant finding costs / lease sales
Acquired interests in established fields and
basins
Significant exploration costs and risk
Exploitation / well intervention
Use of Helix service assets for value creation
Significant development costs
Free cash flow focus
Reserve replacement driven
Opportunistic only
Growth is a driver
Will sell down to minimize risk or
accelerate cash flow
Helix’s oil and gas production generates cash flow in support of its deepwater contracting
services business; our focus is not on replacing reserves or adding to our E&P portfolio.
 
 

 
Oil & Gas Business
30
 Our proven ability to exploit reserves in a
 cost-effective manner leads us to believe
 there is additional potential in our existing
 asset base
 Current oil & gas assets are expected to
 generate in excess of $1 billion in pre-tax
 free cash flow over the next 5 years,
 helping fund planned contracting services
 growth
 Open to the monetization of our oil & gas
 assets in order to accelerate growth in
 our contracting services offerings

Non-GAAP Reconciliations
Adjusted EBITDAX ($ amounts in millions)
We calculate Adjusted EBITDAX as earnings before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and exploration expense. These non-GAAP
measures are useful to investors and other internal and external users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because they are
widely used by investors in our industry to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items which can vary substantially from company to
company, and help investors meaningfully compare our results from period to period. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for, but instead is supplemental to, income from operations, net income or other income data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial
measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Users of this financial
information should consider the types of events and transactions which are excluded.
