Seadrill Limited (SDRL): Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer appointments

Hamilton, Bermuda, December 17, 2020 - The Board of Seadrill Limited ("Seadrill"

or "the Company") (OSE: SDRL, OTCQX:SDRLF) is pleased to announce the

appointment of Reid Warriner as Chief Operating Officer and Leif Neilson as

Chief Technology Officer, effective immediately.

These senior management changes build upon the significant contributions Reid

and Leif have already delivered in their previous roles at Seadrill.

As Chief Operating Officer, Reid Warriner will oversee daily operational

delivery for Seadrill's customers across the Harsh Environment, Jack-Up and

Floater Operating Units. In this role, Reid will drive to achieve the highest

safety standards whilst enhancing the operational performance of our long-term

fleet and scrapping assets which will no longer have a role to play.

As Chief Technology Officer, Leif Nelson will focus on the future development of

our fleet. In this regard Leif will continue the development of our innovation

pipeline with the adoption of new technologies which will deliver more efficient

and safer operational capabilities whilst reducing Seadrill and our clients'

environmental footprint.

Stuart Jackson, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"As Seadrill navigates a difficult market, we will seek ways to differentiate

our capabilities, not just through operational efficiency but also with respect

to the application of technology.  I am delighted that Reid and Leif are taking

on these roles, both focused very much on delivering for our customers - today

and tomorrow."
