Transocean 2008 Annual Report.indd 2 3/16/09 8:11 PM 2008 LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS For Transocean, 2008 was a year of significant change, record financial performance and a new beginning. Beyond our outstanding financial performance during this past year, our two most important achievements were moving our place of incorporation and primary executive offices to Switzerland and creating a strong, world-class organization from the combination of Transocean and GlobalSantaFe. In October, our Board of Directors unanimously approved moving the place of incorporation of the company’s group holding company from the Cayman Islands to Switzerland, which our shareholders overwhelmingly endorsed. In connection with our change of the place of incorporation, we relocated our principal executive offices to Geneva, Switzerland. The decision to move our place of incorporation included two important factors: 1) it will provide us with an improved ability to manage our businesses and better focus on strategic growth markets by locating our principal executive offices more centrally within our area of worldwide operations, and 2) Switzerland has a stable and developed tax regime and a network of tax treaties with most countries where we operate, improving our ability to maintain a competitive worldwide effective corporate tax rate. We have begun the process of relocating many of our officers and a small number of related support staff to Geneva. Our operations will continue to be conducted through existing subsidiaries, and Houston will continue to be the location of the company’s largest office. Our second important achievement of 2008 was successfully integrating the systems and workforces of Transocean and GlobalSantaFe. Transocean now has the world’s largest and most technologically advanced offshore rig fleet, not only in terms of total rigs, but also in every rig class in which we compete, including deepwater floaters, midwater floaters and jackups.

  • Deepwater Disaster: How the Oil Spill Estimates Got It Wrong
    Best guess versus worst case Deepwater disaster: how the oil spill estimates got it wrong “There is no crude emanating from that riser.” Then the official estimate was 1000 barrels a day, then 5000. The true figure was 58 000 barrels of oil a day leaking into the Gulf of Mexico. Why did the authorities so consistently underestimate the flow from the Deepwater disaster, and what damage did those underestimates do? Ian MacDonald reveals the smoking gun behind BP’s erroneous statistics. On April 20th, 2010, the explosion and sinking of a consequential variable in the ongoing emergency: the semi-submersible drilling rig called Deepwater Horizon discharge rate of oil: that is, the number of barrels of oil killed 11 people and initiated a furious eruption of oil per day gushing into the ocean far below the surface. and gas from BP’s Macando well, which was located Official reports on the release and discharge rates in 1500 m of water 75 km southeast of Grand Island, were issued by authorities of the Unified Command, Louisiana.
