HOUSTON, Aug. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc.

Average dayrate is defined as contract drilling revenue for all of the specified rigs in our fleet per revenue earning day. A revenue earning day is defined as a 24-hour period during which a rig earns a dayrate after commencement of operations and excludes mobilization, demobilization and contract preparation days. |
|
(2) |
Utilization is calculated as the ratio of total revenue-earning days divided by the total calendar days in the period for all specified rigs in our fleet (including cold-stacked rigs, but excluding rigs under construction). As of June 30, 2015, our cold-stacked rigs included one deepwater semisubmersible, four mid-water semisubmersibles and four jack-up rigs. |
|
(3) |
Operational efficiency is calculated as the ratio of total revenue-earning days divided by the sum of total revenue-earning days plus the number of days (or portions thereof) associated with unanticipated equipment downtime. |
|
(4) |
Average dayrate reported in prior periods has been revised to conform to current presentation. |
