ITEM 7.01 REGULATION TO DISCLOSURE
Additional information with respect to the
Company’s Fleet Status Report at September 28, 2007 is attached hereto as Exhibit
99.1. Such information is being furnished under Regulation FD and should not be deemed
to be filed under Section 19 of the Exchange Act.
ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
The ATWOOD FALCON is currently working for
Petronas Carigali Sdn. Bhd. (“Petronas”) under an assignment of the
rig’s current contract with Sarawak Shell Berhad (“Shell”). The
Petronas work involves the drilling of four (4) wells which is expected to take to the
end of December 2007 to complete. The operating dayrate is the same as for Shell of
$160,000/$200,000 depending upon water depth of each well drilled. At this time, we
expect all of the Petronas work will be at the $160,000 dayrate. Immediately upon
completion of the Petronas drilling program, the rig will return to work for
Shell.
Statements contained in this report with respect to
the future are forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management's
reasonable judgment with respect to future events. Forward-looking statements involve
risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated
as a result of various factors including; the Company's dependence on the oil and gas
industry; the risks involved the construction of a rig; competition; operating risks;
risks involved in foreign operations; risks associated with possible disruption in
operations due to terrorism; risks associated with a possible disruption in operations
due to a war with Iraq; and governmental regulations and environmental matters. A list
of additional risk factors can be found in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended September 30, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
