The information contained in this Fleet Update report (the “Information”) is as of the date of the report only and is subject to change without notice to the recipient. Transocean Inc. assumes no duty to update any portion of the Information.

DISCLAIMER. NEITHER TRANSOCEAN INC. 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 CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT, WHICH INFORMATION IS PROVIDED “AS IS.” Neither Transocean Inc. nor its affiliates will be liable to any recipient or anyone else for any inaccuracy, error or omission, regardless of cause, in the information set forth in this report or for any damages (whether direct or indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary) resulting therefrom.

No Unauthorized Publication or Use. All information provided by Transocean Inc. in this report is given for the exclusive use of the recipient and may not be published, redistributed or retransmitted without the prior written consent of Transocean Inc.

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 Transocean Inc. Also, 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 Transocean Inc. 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 our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which are available free of charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The dayrates do not include revenue for mobilizations, demobilizations, upgrades, shipyards or recharges.

Out of Service Days (Shipyards, Mobilizations, Etc.). Estimated out of service time for 2008 is noted where the company anticipates that a rig will be out of service and not be available to earn an operating dayrate for a period of 14 days or longer. Additional rig out of service time in 2008 may occur and will be added to the report as such events arise. No estimates are made for 2009 and beyond.

Out of service time is denoted as “Mob/Contract Prep” and “Shipyard or Project” out of service days. Mob/Contract Prep refers to periods during which the rig is being mobilized, demobilized and/or modifications or upgrades are being made as a result of contract requirements. Shipyard or Project refers to periods during which the rig is out of service as a result of other planned shipyards, surveys, repairs, regulatory inspections or other planned service or work on the rig. Similar Mob/Contract Prep and Shipyard or Project periods of durations under 14 days will occur but are not noted in the Update. In some instances such as certain mobilizations, demobilizations, upgrades and shipyards, we are paid compensation by our clients that is generally recognized over the life of the underlying contract, although such compensation is not typically significant in relation to the revenue generated by the dayrates we charge our clients.

Forward-Looking Statement. The statements made in the Fleet Update that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements made in the Fleet Update include, but are not limited to, statements involving the estimated duration of client contracts, contract dayrate amounts, future contract commencement dates and locations and planned shipyard projects and other out of service time. Such statements are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including but not limited to, uncertainties relating to the level of activity in offshore oil and gas exploration and development, exploration success by producers, oil and gas prices, competition and market conditions in the contract drilling industry, shipyard delays, actions and approvals of third parties, possible cancellation or suspension of drilling contracts as a result of mechanical difficulties or performance, the Company’s ability to enter into and the terms of future contracts, the availability of qualified personnel, labor relations and the outcome of negotiations with unions representing workers, operating hazards, factors affecting the duration of contracts including well-in-progress provisions, the actual amount of downtime, factors resulting in reduced applicable dayrates, hurricanes and other weather conditions, terrorism, political and other uncertainties inherent in non-U.S. operations (including the risk of war, civil disturbance, seizure or damage of equipment and exchange and currency fluctuations), the impact of governmental laws and regulations, the adequacy of sources of liquidity, the effect of litigation and contingencies and other factors described above and discussed in the Company’s most recently filed Form 10-K, in the Company’s Forms 10-Q for subsequent periods and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC, which are available free of charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward looking statements, except as required by law.

Fleet Classification. Transocean Inc. uses a rig classification for its semisubmersible rigs and drillships to reflect the company’s strategic focus on the ownership and operation of premium, high specification floating rigs. The rig classification “High Specification Floaters” is comprised of “Ultra-Deepwater” which refers to the latest generation of semisubmersible rigs and drillships possessing the latest technical drilling capabilities and the ability to operate in water depths equal to or greater than 7,500 feet, “Deepwater” which refers to semisubmersible rigs and drillships that possess the ability to drill in water depths equal to or greater than 4,500 feet, and “Harsh Environment” comprised of five of the company’s premium harsh environment rigs, the semisubmersibles Henry Goodrich, Transocean Leader, Paul B. Loyd, Jr., Transocean Arctic and Polar Pioneer. The category titled “Midwater Floaters” represents semisubmersible rigs and drillships that possess the ability to drill in water depths of up to 4,499 feet. The jackup fleet is subdivided into two categories; “High Specification” which consists of harsh environment and high performance jackups and “Standard”.

Footnotes:

(1) Dates shown are the original service date and the date of the most recent upgrade, if any.

(2) Expiration dates represent the company's current estimate of the earliest date the contract for each rig is likely to expire. Some rigs have two or more contracts in continuation, so the last line shows the estimated earliest availability. Many contracts permit the client to extend the contract. The out of service time represents those days in 2008 where the company anticipates that a rig will be out of service and not be available to earn an operating dayrate for a period of 14 days or longer. Please refer to the “Out of Service Days (Shipyards, Mobilizations, Etc.)” section of the Cover Page for a full description.

(3) Represents the full operating dayrate, although the average dayrate over the term of the contract will be lower and could be substantially lower. Does not reflect incentive programs which are typically based on the rig's operating performance against a performance curve. Please refer to the “Client Contract Duration and Dayrates and Risks Associated with Operations” section of the Cover Page for a description of dayrates.

(4) We have been awarded a five-year drilling contract by Chevron for the construction of an enhanced Enterprise-class drillship to be named Discoverer Clear Leader. Operations are expected to commence during the second quarter of 2009, after shipyard construction followed by sea trials, mobilization to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and customer acceptance. The contract commencement date is contingent on vendor performance and other factors. During the first three years of the contract, the contract dayrate is $469,000. The dayrate for the last two years of the contract is linked to the standard West Texas Intermediate crude oil price with a floor of $40 per barrel resulting in a contract dayrate of $400,000 and a ceiling of $70 per barrel resulting in a contract dayrate of $500,000.

(5) We have been awarded a four-year drilling contract by StatoilHydro for the construction of an enhanced Enterprise-class drillship to be named Discoverer Americas. Operations are expected to commence by mid-2009, after shipyard construction followed by sea trials, mobilization to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and customer acceptance. The contract commencement date is contingent on vendor performance and other factors.

(6) We have been awarded a five-year contract by Chevron for the construction of an enhanced Enterprise-class drillship to be named Discoverer Inspiration. Operations are expected to commence during the first quarter of 2010, after shipyard construction followed by sea trials, mobilization to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and customer acceptance. The contract commencement date is contingent on vendor performance and other factors.

(7) In September 2007 we exercised an option to construct a Gusto MSC/P 10,000 design drillship which is yet to be named. Construction of the drillship is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2010. We are actively marketing the drillship.

(8) We own a 50 percent interest in this ultra-deepwater Samsung-design drillship to be named Deepwater Pacific 1 through a joint venture company with Pacific Drilling Limited. The joint venture has been awarded a four-year drilling contract with Reliance for construction of the drillship. Operations are expected to commence during the third quarter of 2009, after shipyard construction followed by sea trials, mobilization and customer acceptance. The contract commencement date is contingent on vendor performance and other factors. During the first six months of the contract, the contract dayrate is $495,000, regardless of the duration of the remaining term of the contract. The dayrate for the remaining three and one-half years of the contract is $530,000. On or prior to October 31, 2008, the contract may be extended to five years, in which case the dayrate would be reduced to $515,000 for the remaining four and one-half years.

(9) We own a 50 percent interest in this ultra-deepwater Samsung-design drillship to be named Deepwater Pacific 2 through a joint venture company with Pacific Drilling Limited. The drillship is expected to finish construction in first quarter 2010. The joint venture is actively marketing the drillship.

(10) We have been awarded a drilling contract by BP for the construction of an enhanced Enterprise-class drillship to be named Discoverer Luanda. The rig will be owned by a joint venture in which the company owns 65 percent. The contract has an initial term of five years, but can be converted at the customer’s election by the end of March 2008 to a seven-year term. Operations are expected to commence during the third quarter of 2010, after shipyard construction followed by sea trials, mobilization to Angola and customer acceptance. The contract commencement date is contingent on vendor performance and other factors. The dayrate to be paid on a five-year contract period is $460,000, or $430,000 should the contract be converted to a seven-year term.

(11) We have been awarded a seven-year drilling contract by BP for the construction of a Keppel Fels MSC DSS 51 design semisubmersible to be named GSF Development Driller III. Operations are expected to commence by mid-2009, after shipyard construction followed by sea trials, mobilization to Angola and customer acceptance. The contract commencement date is contingent on vendor performance and other factors.

(12) Dayrate for contract period October 2007 through October 2010 to be set using a quarterly average of the stated contract dayrates on the company's other Ultra-Deepwater, dynamically positioned rigs operating in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The dayrate is currently estimated to range from $447,000 in March 2008 to $487,000 in October 2010.

(13) Current contract provides for a bonus incentive opportunity not reflected in the stated current contract dayrate.

(14) Reflects the current contracted dayrate which is comprised of a foreign currency component and which could change due to foreign exchange adjustments.

(15) Reflects the current contracted dayrate which could change due to cost escalations.

(16) Dayrate reflects a base level to be paid. The rig will receive a dayrate higher than the stated base level when utilized in a water depth of greater than 1,500 feet.

(17) Dayrate subject to annual adjustment based on market dayrates within specific parameters.

(18) Owned by a joint venture in which the company owns an 80 percent interest. Dayrate indicated reflects 100 percent of contract rate.

(19) Operated under a management contract with the rig's owner. The rig is currently engaged in scientific geological coring activities and is owned by a joint venture in which a subsidiary of the company has a 50 percent interest. Dayrate indicated reflects 100 percent of contract rate.

(20) Operated under a management contract with the rig's owner.

(21) On June 30, 2007, the riser for GSF Rig 135 was lost at sea when the transport vessel capsized. A newly manufactured riser that was to be shipped to GSF Rig 140 to replace GSF Rig 140's existing riser was redirected to GSF Rig 135. Since we were obligated to provide a new riser for GSF Rig 140's current contract, the dayrate for GSF Rig 140 was reduced by $55,000 per day until such time that we are able to replace the riser. We believe that the $55,000 dayrate reduction is covered under applicable insurance policies.

(22) For the period of time that this rig is contracted to Applied Drilling Technology International, the drilling management services division of the Company's U.K. operating subsidiary, or Applied Drilling Technology Inc., the Company's U.S. drilling management services subsidiary, accounting rules require that we eliminate the revenues and costs related to those contracts.

(23) This rig has been designated as held for sale but is currently still under contract.

(24) The tax expense related to these contracts has been reduced due to a recent discrete tax event. In accordance with the terms of these contracts, the dayrate likewise has been reduced. Taken together, these changes have no effect on after-tax net income.
