2016 E&P budgets reflect pressing need to preserve cash
USD 300bn cash outflow for the top 10 deepwater operators over 8-year period. This is clearly
unsustainable and something that needs to be addressed

3) Expecting significant capacity adjustments
As many as 30+ new-build projects may be terminated, and most of the uncontracted new-builds
will be deferred. Our scenario assumes scrapping of 105 rigs (vs. 54 thus far)

Statoil likely to need more capacity from 2017
STL has reduced its floater rig fleet on the NCS by approx. 40% since the early 2013 peak. Based
on 6 rigs only with charters through 2h17, we would expect tendering for 2h17/1h18 start-up
