Commenting today, Per Wullf, CEO and President of Seadrill Management Ltd.,

said:

"During Q2 2016 we have improved on the record uptime we achieved in Q1,

reaching 98% economic utilization, whilst continuing to see our costs reduce

quarter over quarter.

There continues to be a significant supply overhang and the market conditions

remain challenging, however, there is some volume returning to the spot market,

although primarily for short term work. Our priorities for the remainder of the

year continue to be delivering safe and efficient operations for our customers

whilst concluding on our financing plans."
