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

said: "We continue to see an improvement in the level of bidding activity

following the increase and stabilization of oil prices. Improving dayrates will

not be a feature of 2017, however, based on the expected level of scrapping and

cold stacking activity we believe there is room for some optimism.

Our scale and young fleet position us well for the eventual recovery in the

industry. Our key stakeholders have demonstrated a desire to be part of a

solution to our restructuring requirements with the right structure and terms."
