Earnings per share, excluding expenses associated with the Macondo well incident, gains from asset sales, Aker Drilling acquisition costs and other minor items, came in at 5 cents, well short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 75 cents and significantly behind the year-ago adjusted profit of $1.36. Revenue Total quarterly revenues of $2,242.0 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.5% and were down 1.7% year-over-year, mainly attributable to a reduction in contract drilling sales, partially offset by contributions from newly constructed rigs and additional drilling management services activity. Transocean’s high-spec floaters contributed approximately 63% to total revenue, while mid-water floaters and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Offshore drilling giant Transocean Ltd. (RIG) recently issued a monthly ‘Fleet Update Summary’ covering the company’s drilling rig status and contract information. As per the report, Transocean secured additional work for four of its mid-water rigs, with three of them getting higher rates. The company currently has 28 mid-water floaters – capable of drilling in water depths of approximately 300 feet to 4,500 feet – that makes up around 20% of Transocean&#8217;s revenue. The Transocean Legend semi-submersible drilling rig has been hired by ConocoPhillips (COP) to conduct operations offshore Australia until October 2012 at a dayrate of $293,000, down $5,000 from the last contract with Eni SpA (E). Another semi-submersible drilling rig, the GSF Arctic I, will work for Oslo-listed independent explorer Panoro Energy in Brazil from February 2012. The ]]></description>

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 0.3% to settle at 10,854.65. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) moved up 0.02% to close at 1,123.82, and 6 of its 10 industry groups registered gains. The Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 0.2% to finish the day at 2,345.38. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) traded roughly over 42. On the New York Stock Exchange, consolidated volumes were 4.8 billion shares.

		<description><![CDATA[Offshore drilling giant Transocean Ltd. (RIG) reported bleak second quarter 2011 results, hurt by the decline in utilization rates, lower backlog and higher operating costs. Earnings per share, excluding expenses associated with the Macondo well incident, tax charges and loss related to impairment of three standard jackups, came in at 65 cents. The figure fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 77 cents and trailed the year-ago adjusted profit of $1.66. Total quarterly revenues of $2,334 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.7% and were down 5.8% year over year, mainly due to the reduction in contract drilling sales (due to lower utilization and lower average daily revenue), partially offset by contributions from additional drilling management services activity. Transocean’s high-spec floaters contributed approximately 61% to total revenue, while ]]></description>

(BHI) reported a marginal rise in the U.S. rig count (number of rigs searching for oil and gas in the country). This can be primarily attributed to an increase in the tally of land rigs. The Baker Hughes rig count, issued since 1944, acts as an important yardstick for drilling contractors such as Transocean Inc. (RIG), Diamond Offshore (DO), Noble Corp. (NE), Nabors Industries (NBR), Patterson-UTI Energy (PTEN) and Helmerich &#38; Payne (HP) in gauging the overall business environment of the oil and gas industry.

		<description><![CDATA[The specter of another recession haunted investors and dealt a body blow to the markets which crashed to their worst day since the economic crisis of 2008. On Wednesday, just when the Dow looked like ending its longest losing streak of nine days since Jimmy Carter held office, the index plunged over 500 points to record its ninth-steepest decline. The broad sell-off in the market and resulting panic led to the Dow, Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P) 500 and the Nasdaq plunging 4.3%, 4.8% and 5.1%, respectively. Each benchmark posted its share of records, though none of these brought any cheer to investors. The Dow settled at 11,383.83, losing 512 points, the steepest such decline since Dec. 1, 2008. However, the 512-point decline was far from the 778-points slide that ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Italian oil major Eni SpA (E) announced the start-up of oil production from the Appaloosa field in the deepwaters of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico (GoM). This follows the Nikaitchuq field start-up in Alaska earlier this year and strengthens Eni’s hold as a producer in the GoM. The Appaloosa oil field is situated in 2,500 feet deep waters about 60 miles offshore the Louisiana coast southwest of New Orleans. Production started on June 21, using a 20 mile flow line tied back to the Eni operated Corral platform. The well, located within the MC 459 Federal Unit, which includes blocks MC 459, 460 and portions of MC 503 and 504, is presently flowing at a rate of approximately 7,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Eni is the operator of the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In an internal investigation report, drilling contractor Transocean Ltd (RIG) – the owner and operator of Deepwater Horizon oil rig at the heart of the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) disaster – has accused British energy giant BP plc (BP) of decisions that led to the biggest environmental disaster in U.S. history. As a reminder, on April 20, 2010, offshore driller Transocean’s ultra-deepwater Horizon drilling platform, contracted to BP, sank following an explosion while operating in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana. The incident killed 11 workers and spewed more than 200 million gallons of crude in what is touted as the worst oil spill in U.S. history. Subsequently, a moratorium was imposed on offshore drilling at water depths of more than 500 feet in the region, ]]></description>

(WFT) that settles all claims between the companies related to last year’s Macondo oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). Per the deal, BP will indemnify Weatherford against all its liabilities or future claims related to the incident in return for $75 million. The fund from Weatherford will help the British company to cover all disaster-related claims, including environmental damage and economic losses. However, the agreement does not include any civil and criminal fines and penalties or attorneys&#8217; fees. Weatherford, which manufactured the float collar used in BP&#8217;s blown-out well, intends to cover the full cost of the settlement from insurance policies it had at the time of the incident.

		<description><![CDATA[In its weekly release, Houston-based oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. (BHI) reported a rise in the U.S. rig count (number of rigs searching for oil and gas in the country). This can be primarily attributed to an increase in the tally of oil rigs, somewhat offset by a fall in the natural gas and miscellaneous rig counts. The Baker Hughes rig count, issued since 1944, acts as an important yardstick for drilling contractors such as Transocean Inc. (RIG), Diamond Offshore (DO), Noble Corp. (NE), Nabors Industries (NBR), Patterson-UTI Energy (PTEN) and Helmerich &#38; Payne (HP) in gauging the overall business environment of the oil and gas industry. Weekly Summary Rigs engaged in exploration and production in the U.S. totaled 1,860 for the week ended June 17, 2011. This is ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In its weekly release, Houston-based oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. (BHI) reported a marginal rise in the U.S. rig count (number of rigs searching for oil and gas in the country). This can be primarily attributed to an increase in the tally of oil rigs, almost offset by a fall in the natural gas and miscellaneous rig counts. In particular, there were more rigs drilling for oil than gas for the eighth week in a row as the companies look to capitalizing on soaring oil prices, which are currently trending at around $100 a barrel. The Baker Hughes rig count, issued since 1944, acts as an important yardstick for drilling contractors such as Transocean Inc. (RIG), Diamond Offshore (DO), Noble Corp.

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, the benchmarks ended in the negative zone on fears of a slowing global economic recovery and markets recorded their sixth-straight week of losses.  Showing signs of weakness, the Dow dropped below the 12,000 level for the first time since mid-March, all 10 industry groups in the S&#38;P 500 settled in the red and the Nasdaq lost out on its yearly gains. As the markets closed on Friday, concerns were widespread as the benchmarks recorded their sixth week of losses for the first time since the fall of 2002. On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) dropped 1.4% to settle at 11,951.91. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) also declined 1.4% to finish the day at 1,270.98.

		<description><![CDATA[Finally, investors enjoyed some cheer as the markets broke their six-day losing streak buoyed by positive data on export levels and a shrinking trade deficit. While this report provided optimism about a recovery in the economy, job data once again failed to suggest any improvement. Additionally, experts opine that this is a short-lived technical bounce back and expect the S&#38;P 500 to trace back to its March low of 1,250. The markets finally found a place in the positive zone after ending in the red for six consecutive days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) climbed up 0.6% to settle at 12,124.36. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was up 0.7% and finished the day at 1,289.00. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,684.87, after jumping 0.4%. The fear ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[World oil production rebounded by 2.2% in 2010 to reach 82.095 million barrels per day (B/D), up from 80.278 million B/D in 2009, but virtually unchanged from 2008 levels. World oil consumption, though, increased by 3.1% to hit 87.382 million B/D. Due to the inclusion of non-oil additives in the consumption figures (especially ethanol) and some unavoidable differences in definitions, consumption always runs higher than production, so don’t read the differences in levels as meaning that world oil inventories fell by over 5 million barrels per day. The differences in the level of change are, however, worth looking at. Changes Over Longer Term Since 2000, world production has risen by 9.6% and world consumption has risen by 14.1%. Oil giant BP (BP) has just released its statistical review of world ]]></description>

However, on a monthly basis, benchmarks were left lingering in the red. Markets had dropped down during the session as weak economic data weighed on investor sentiment, but rebounded ahead of the close and almost touched the levels benchmarks were closing in on in the morning. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was up 1.0% to close at 12,569.79. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) closed with gains of 1.1% at 1,345.20.

		<description><![CDATA[Weak economic data failed to drag markets lower as investor sentiment was lifted by the technology and retail sectors.  With initial claims surged and the economy expanding at just 1.8%, the employment situation remains a major area of concern amidst a sluggish economy. These concerns had dented the markets in the opening session, but strong performance from the consumer discretionary index and technology sector and modest support from the energy sector helped the indices rebound. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) shed 76 points in the opening session but recouped its losses in the later trading session to close at 12,402.76, up 0.1%. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) climbed up 0.4% to finish at 1,325.69. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,782.92, after gaining 0.8%. Volumes continued to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday, oil prices gained strength after banks upgraded their crude price forecast; sales of new homes recorded their second consecutive monthly gains, and corporate results came in better than expected. However, markets negated all these positives to drop further down for the third-consecutive day as lingering concerns about slowing growth continued to dampen investor sentiment. Markets ended at their lowest level since April 19 with the benchmarks dropping modestly. The Dow Jones Industrial dropped 0.2% to close at 12,356.21. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was down to 1,316.28, after shedding 0.1% and the Nasdaq closed with a loss of 0.5% at 2,746.16. On the New York Stock Exchange, for every eight declining stocks, one stock moved up. The markets have been weighed down over the past couple ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In its weekly release, Houston-based oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. (BHI) reported an unchanged U.S. rig count (number of rigs searching for oil and gas in the country), as an increase in the number of oil rigs was offset by a fall in the natural gas rig count. Interestingly,  there were more rigs drilling for oil than gas for the fifth week in a row. This has happened for the first time since 1995 with companies looking to capitalize on soaring oil prices, which are currently trending at around $98 a barrel. The Baker Hughes rig count, issued since 1944, acts as an important yardstick for drilling contractors such as Transocean Inc. (RIG), Diamond Offshore (DO), Noble Corp. (NE), Pride International ( &#8220;&#62;PDE ) , Nabors Industries (NBR), Patterson-UTI ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Global events weighed on investor sentiment to drag US indices lower on Monday. While rising concerns about the euro-zone debt situation significantly dampened benchmarks, disappointing manufacturing data from China stepped in to further pressurize the indices amidst the lack of any domestic data. All of the 30 components that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), except one, were in the red and the index declined 1.1% to close at 12,381.26. Only McDonald&#8217;s Corp. (NYSE:MCD) was able to climb up among the 30 components in the Dow, moving up 0.2%. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) shed 1.2% to finish the day at 1,317.37 and was also below its 50-day moving average since April 19. The index was also at its lowest level since April 19th.
