However, while utilization of offshore drilling rigs has increased gradually from 2016 lows, an excess of supply persists for many asset classes and new contracts are still providing limited cash margins for drillers. Despite these competitive market conditions, our offshore crews and onshore personnel continue to deliver outstanding operational and safety performance to customers. We also advanced new technologies and innovative solutions aimed at improving the drilling process to help lower customers’ offshore project costs. By consistently providing safe operations and utilizing innovation and technology to drive efficiencies, we will continue to differentiate our performance from the competition. In October 2018, we announced our pending merger with Rowan and we expect this transaction to close in the first half of 2019. The pro forma company will be the industry- leading offshore driller across all water depths that is ideally-positioned to capitalize on opportunities as the industry recovery unfolds while creating meaningful long-term value for shareholders. Safety and Operational Performance We continue to work towards attaining our goal of zero safety incidents and we are proud to once again have been awarded top honours in the Health, Safety and Environment category in Achieved 98% the annual independent survey conducted by EnergyPoint Research. Furthermore, our total operational recordable incident rate, a key performance indicator that measures the number of safety utilisation and incidents in a given period, of 0.25 was approximately 30% better than the industry average safety performance last year. that outperformed the industry While we should be proud of our achievements in 2018, we are also mindful that our total average recordable incident rate and our lost time incident rate both increased when compared to our record performance set in 2017. The safety of everyone on our offshore installations and inside our facilities is of the utmost importance and we continue to evaluate and implement initiatives to improve upon our recent results. Several of our rigs achieved impressive safety milestones during 2018. In the North Sea, ENSCO 92 surpassed ten years without a lost time incident and ENSCO 100 achieved three years without a recordable incident and nine years without a lost time incident. In the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, ENSCO 68 and ENSCO 87 both reached seven years without a lost time incident, and in the Middle East, ENSCO 54 achieved a “perfect year” meaning they had 365 consecutive days with no downtime and no incidents. These examples are evidence of our crews’ commitment to safe operations and the robustness of our safety systems. Across the fleet, operational utilization was 98% – a slight decline from the 99% achieved for each of the past two years, but a very strong performance nonetheless. Operational utilisation is a key metric that significantly impacts our financial results as it measures our ability to monetize revenue backlog. Strong operational and safety Consistently providing high levels of safety and operational performance is a key driver of performance led to customer satisfaction, and is instrumental in forming long-lasting relationships with new contracting customers. To this end, our safety and operational results helped us in winning new contracts success and extensions that added more than $900 million in revenue backlog last year. This additional work absorbed more than 30 rig years of available days across the Ensco fleet, a 35% increase from the prior year, which allows us to keep several rigs active as market conditions improve. Fleet Restructuring As the industry downturn began, our expectation was that customers would prefer higher specification assets when market conditions began to improve and that these assets would benefit from increased utilization, and ultimately higher day rates, ahead of the broader global fleet. As a result, we embarked on a multi-year fleet restructuring to focus on the newest, most technically-capable assets while maintaining exposure to both shallow- and deep-water markets. Since the beginning of 2013, we have renewed our fleet by adding eight rigs through our newbuild program, eleven high-specification assets through the Atwood acquisition and The pending divesting of 30 older rigs. Furthermore, the pending Rowan merger will create one of the Rowan merger will highest-quality fleets in the industry. Pro forma fleet highlights include: create one of the highest-quality 28 floaters including 25 ultra-deepwater rigs capable of drilling in water depths greater fleets across all than 7,500 feet, with an average age of six years – among the youngest and most water depths capable fleets in the industry o Second-largest fleet of highest-specification
