December fleet update

Songa Venus remained on location for Petronas Carigali, Malaysia through-out the
period. The rig was shut down during the majority of the period and completed
earlier announced repairs and testing of re-worked BOP components on December
19.  The unit achieved 100% operating efficiency for the remainder of the period
after re-commencing operations.

Songa Mercur completed its de-mobilization and load off from Sakhalin, Russia to
Labuan Malaysia end of October and the rig has undergone extensive contractual
acceptance testing and installation of third party equipment through November
and December. The rig is now fully accepted and scheduled to depart for
commencement of its two well program in Malaysia with Petronas Carigali.
Songa Dee continued its program for Statoil at the Gulfaks field, and the rig
achieved an average operating efficiency of 99% during the period.
Songa Delta completed its scheduled SPS and rig upgrade yard stay at CCB base
outside Bergen, Norway during the period. The yard stay was extended from an
original 40 days to 56 days mainly due to extended work scopes and additional
work related to the BOP system. The rig was then further delayed by weather and
remained in sheltered waters until 6(th) January and is currently in process of
anchoring up at location in order to re-commence the contract with Wintershall /
Det Norske Oljeselskap.
Songa Trym achieved an operating efficiency of 99% during the period.  The rig
continues to operate for Statoil in Norway.
Songa Eclipse completed its mobilization to Angola during the period, and the
rig is currently undergoing final rig contractual acceptance testing which is
expected to be completed during second half of January. The rig will thereafter
commence its one well plus 18 month contract with Total E&P Angola
