Seadrill Limited assumes no duty to update any portion of the Information. Neither seadrill limited nor its affiliates make any express or implied warranties (including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or use) regarding the Information, which is provided "as is." Neither Seadrill Limited nor its affiliates will be liable to any recipient or anyone else for any inaccuracy, error or omission, regardless of use, in the Information or for any damages (whether direct or indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary) resulting therefrom. All information provided by Seadrill Limited in this report is given for the exclusive use of the recipient and may not be published, redistributed or retransmitted without the prior written consent of Seadrill Limited.
Order Backlog
Backlog includes all firm contracts at the contractual operating dayrate multiplied by the number of days remaining in the firm contract period. For contracts which include a market indexed rate mechanism, the Company utilizes the current applicable dayrate multiplied by the number of days remaining in the firm contract period. Order backlog includes management contract revenues and lease revenues from bareboat charter arrangements. Order backlog excludes revenues for mobilization, demobilization and contract preparation or other incentive provisions and excludes backlog relating to non-consolidated entities.
Client Contract Duration, Timing and Dayrates and Risks Associated with Operations
The duration and timing (including both starting and ending dates) of the client contracts are estimates only, and client contracts are subject to cancellation, suspension and delays for a variety of reasons, including some beyond the control of Seadrill Limited. Furthermore, the dayrates set forth in the report are estimates based upon the full contractual operating dayrate. However, the actual average dayrate earned over the course of any given contract will be lower and could be substantially lower. The actual average dayrate will depend upon a number of factors (rig downtime, suspension of operations, etc.), including some beyond the control of Seadrill Limited. Our client contracts and operations are generally subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and we urge you to review the description and explanation of such risks and uncertainties in previous prospectus. The dayrates do not include revenue for mobilizations, demobilizations, upgrades, or shipyards. Furthermore, mutually agreed (priced) options are not included in the contract status or the contract coverage (nor in the calculation of utilization).
Contracted Utilization (%)
Contracted utilization is calculated as the total number of days a rig is under contract, expressed as a percentage of the total remaining days in the year.
