99.1 Monthly Rig Status Report as of May 28, 2004
ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
------------------------
The Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this Item 9 the
monthly rig status report, as of May 28, 2004, of the Registrant attached as
Exhibit 99.1 which is being furnished in accordance with Rule 101(e)(1) under
Regulation FD and shall not be deemed to be filed.
Statements in this report that contain "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, include, but are
not limited to, statements regarding the current term, start and end dates and
comments concerning future contracts and availability and other aspects of the
Registrant's drilling rigs. Such statements are inherently subject to a variety
of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those anticipated or projected. A discussion of the risk factors that could
impact these areas and the Registrant's overall business and financial
performance can be found in the Registrant's reports and other documents filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These factors include, among
others, early termination by the customer pursuant to the contract or otherwise,
cancellation or completion of certain contracts or projects earlier than
expected, operating hazards, general economic and business conditions, casualty
losses, industry fleet capacity, changes in foreign and domestic oil and gas
exploration and production activity, competition, changes in foreign, political,
social and economic conditions, regulatory initiatives and compliance with
governmental regulations, customer preferences and various other matters, many
of which are beyond the registrant's control. Given these concerns, investors
and analysts should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Each
forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the rig status report,
and the Registrant undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statement.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf
by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
