Noble Drilling Reports Rig Incident

Wednesday June 10, 10:02 pm Eastern Time

HOUSTON, June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Noble Drilling Corporation (NYSE: NE - news) reported that its subsidiary's dynamically positioned drillship, the Noble Leo Segerius, currently located offshore Brazil and contracted to Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras), has sustained damage, temporarily halting drilling operations. One employee of the company received burn injuries and is being treated at a medical facility in Rio de Janeiro.

The damage resulted from the rupture of a high pressure line. Based on a preliminary survey and assessment of the damage, the company currently estimates the downtime for the unit at approximately 60 to 75 days, depending on the delivery of equipment. Both the personal injury and the property damage to the unit are hazards inherent in the drilling business for which the company maintains insurance, subject to applicable deductible amounts.
