Expecting GOM Recovery — Management is bullish on a near-term GOM
recovery. Of its 13 rigs in the GOM, seven are on full rate, four are on a slightly
lower standby rate, and two are on a special standby rate. In 2H11, oil companies
are likely to bring rigs into the GOM rather than export them to other regions. All of
its rigs are likely to be operating at full day rate by the end of 2011.

Environmental groups challenge Shell drilling plan
U.S. government approved an oil exploration plan that involves five proposed deep sea wells

Environmental groups are asking a federal appeals court to throw out a U.S. government decision to approve a Shell oil exploration plan that involves five proposed wells under more than 7,000 feet of water in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Regulation and Enforcement approved the plan in May. The plan also includes three previously approved wells 72 miles off Louisiana.

Defenders of Wildlife, the Center for Biological Diversity and the Natural Resources Defense Council claim in a petition filed Thursday in the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Atlanta that the decision violates the law and that the environment would be harmed if it stands.

New regulations for deepwater drilling were imposed following last year's deadly rig explosion and Gulf oil spill.
