In an email dated Saturday, 2 October 2004, regarding the Sedco Energy inspection the OIM and Rig Manager states:

Please send a personal thank you from myself and the Subsea team on the Energy for the help and assistance that WEST's surveyor gave us during his time on board. Most times, Subsea do not relish the idea of third party inspectors hanging over our shoulders. WEST's surveyor was extremely helpful and realized with the safety shutdown in progress and that we were all relatively new to the Energy, that his task would and was going to be tough. We had made a good start before WEST's surveyor arrived and with his help we have now moved forward considerably.

Also, WEST's surveyor started a set of programs that covered specific items, i.e. change out of control system parts, that will continue to be useful in the future. The Subsea systems on board should now go from strength to strength as our new team molds together. Currently the BOP is working well Subsea with no issues.

Regards,
