    "We have had a strong operating quarter and we continue to make good progress on our cost savings programme. Our discussions with the shipyards continue to be constructive regarding deferrals.

    We believe that market conditions are likely to remain challenging through 2016 and the coming quarters will provide insight into the 2017 environment. It is important to recognise that we are in a cyclical business. The longer this downturn lasts, the more robust the recovery will be when it happens. Seadrill is in a position to capitalise on the upturn with the the most modern fleet and world class operations."
