Simon Johnson, CEO, commented:

"Third quarter results reaffirmed Seadrill's consistent and solid performance
this year, with once again high levels of utilization during the quarter, driven
by our operational excellence. Total Adjusted EBITDA was $71 million, in line
with Management's expectations.

The West Saturn and West Carina have recently commenced operations in Brazil for
their long-term contracts and we look forward to the West Tellus and West
Jupiter commencing operations in the coming weeks, solidifying our position as
the number one international driller in Brazil.

The sale of 7 jackups to ADES and our stake in Paratus Energy Services are
transformative transactions as they enable us to considerably deleverage our
balance sheet and materially reduce our cost of debt, driving value for our
shareholders and making Seadrill a simpler business to understand for investors.

Furthermore, Seadrill reached the significant milestone of being dual listed on
two major stock exchanges, after we re-listed on the New York Stock Exchange and
up-listed to the main market of the Oslo Stock Exchange. We remain in a strong
position to continue delivering for all our stakeholders and to capitalize on
market opportunities. We are focused on ensuring our fleet is one of the
youngest and most-technologically advanced in the offshore drilling business and
expect to be at the forefront of the sector's recovery as it continues to be
buoyed by strong fundamentals."
