Rowan has a leading position in harsh environment jack‐ups

Number of delivered jack‐ups per category*

Harsh environment rigs are required to work in most areas of the recovering North Sea market

Further, in Norway and the deeper waters of the central North Sea, ultra‐harsh rigs are usually required 

Due to the superior capabilities from their larger size, about half of all harsh environment rigs are working in benign environments (displacing benign rigs):

High water depth capability

High payload capacity

Ability to move on and off location in challenging conditions

Extended cantilever reach

Capacity to incorporate advanced offline activities

Benefits of harsh environment jack‐ups

Active Heave Compensating Subsea Crane

Key Feature DescriptionToday’s deeper, more highly pressured wells require longer and heavier casing strings. Combined, these driving forces yield casing strings that exceed the capacity of 6th generation rigs (i.e., greater than 1,000 tons).   Further, running BOPs in elevated sea states can also produce hook load requirements exceeding 1,000 tons.

Between well maintenance becomes an offline activity with dual BOPs, saving several days of non‐productive time.  Further, if there is an unplanned BOP pull, the secondary BOP can be run while repairs are performed on the other in an unrushed manner. This limits downtime to several days, instead of several weeks or, in severe cases, months. 

Having a seventh ram allows the installation of an “inverted” ram at the bottom of the BOP to pressure up against when testing the other rams. This eliminates the need to run a separate pressure testing apparatus down to the BOP. For exploration wells, this dramatically reduced the non‐productive time spent testing the BOP while it is subsea. Alternatively, the seventh ram can also be configured for optimized changeover from drilling to completion operations.

Many wells require very precise pressure control that can only be achieved by the closed loop system that Managed Pressure Drilling provides.  Further, this closed loop system also provided dramatically increased safety by providing advanced “kick” detection, identifying well control issues long before they become a threat to the rig, it’s crew or the environment. Rowan rigs were designed for MPD from the beginning, with utilities and handling equipment neatly incorporated, translating into expedient installation and higher reliability than the retrofit solutions in many competitive rigs.

Several of today’s frontier drilling locations are in water depths exceeding 12,000 feet.  To access these depths in a safe and efficient manner, significant outfitting upgrades are necessary.  Many of these upgrades are difficult or prohibitively expensive to incorporate after a rig has been constructed. Rowan’s rigs are fully equipped for these extreme depths.

Active heave drawworks allows very precise high capacity control over suspended loads while the vessel heaves up and down in response to sea conditions.  This is especially critical while setting casing in the well or setting the BOP on the well head.  Having a secondary crown‐mounted compensation system allows enhanced safety during operations where the rig is “locked” to bottom such as completions, drill stem tests, and coiled tubing operations.

High capacity subsea cranes that have active heave compensation allow the offline installation of subsea architecture (e.g., subsea trees) in a very precise manner, preventing damage to critical subsea components.  Using a crane to do this frees up the drilling centers to continue progressing the construction of the well and can eliminate the cost of hiring a subsea construction vessel.

Overview of ARO Drilling, a 50/50 offshore drilling joint venture between Rowan Companies and Saudi Aramco

• ARO Drilling (ARO) is a 50/50 joint venture between Rowan and Saudi Aramco that owns and operates jack‐up drilling rigs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA)

• Over the next decade, ARO expected to construct 20 newbuild rigs, supported by attractive, long term contracts from Saudi Aramco 

• ARO operates independently with a separate dedicated management team, ensuring an arm’s length relationship – both the CEO and the head of operations are from Rowan; the CFO is from Saudi Aramco

• ARO Board of Directors is comprised of three members from Rowan and three members from Saudi Aramco; the Chairman is from Saudi Aramco

• Rowan’s KSA operations were transferred to ARO.  Costs for Rowan’s existing KSA shorebase support were assumed by ARO

• ARO is treated as an equity investment for accounting purposes, with financial results recognized primarily on the equity income line

Intent is for ARO to be self funded with additional distributions as excess cash builds

MID‐TERM: Cash stays in ARO to support the newbuild program

LONG‐TERM: Cash distributions back to Saudi Aramco / Rowan

• Saudi Aramco and Rowan do not anticipate contributing additional capital into ARO for the newbuild program, however the program is supported by a $1.25 billion capital commitment from each shareholder, which ratchets down over time as rigs are delivered

• We expect the newbuilds to be fully financed by ARO, through ARO‐generated cash flow and external financing, supported by long term contracts at ARO

• ARO intends to keep cash on hand that is necessary for each calendar year of operations. Additional cash will be distributed equally to Saudi Aramco and Rowan

Managed Rigs: Overview and Financial Impact• Excluding rigs to be contributed to ARO, Rowan’s remaining jack‐up rigs under contract with Saudi Aramco 

will be managed by ARO through the remainder of their existing contracts.  These rigs are: 

• Rowan pays ARO a customary management fee(1), which will be recognized as operating cost on Rowan’s income statement, and will be included in Rowan cost guidance

• Management fee is recorded as revenue on ARO’s income statement

• Once a managed rig rolls off contract, if not contributed, Rowan has the choice to market the rig globally. If the rig subsequently receives a contract from Saudi Aramco, it will be leased to ARO(2)

• ARO start‐up will initially rely heavily on Rowan’s back office support, which includes Engineering, IT, Legal, Finance, etc.

• To cover Rowan’s cost of providing these services, ARO will pay Rowan a transition services fee which is estimated to initially be $8MM per quarter

• ARO is expected to build out their support infrastructure over time and assume back office support services previously provided by Rowan. As a result, the transition services fee is expected to scale down over the next few years

• Transition Services Fee will be recognized as revenue on Rowan’s income statement and be an expense for ARO

Newbuild Program: Overview and Financial Impact

• ARO expected to build up to 20 jack‐ups over the next decade with the earliest delivery of the first rig in 2021

• The newbuild jack‐ups will be built at the new Maritime Yard ‐ The King Salman International Complex for Maritime Industries and Services, a cornerstone project in the Saudi 2030 Vision. The Maritime Yard is a joint venture between Saudi Aramco, Bahri, Hyundai Heavy Industries and Lamprell

• Newbuild design process is in progress, which aims to develop the most safe, efficient and reliable jack‐up, fit‐for‐purpose for Saudi Aramco operations

• The initial eight‐year contract has a dayrate set by an EBITDA payback model                                                                  Dayrate = (Cost of newbuild / undisclosed days) + daily OPEX + overhead allocation + modest cost escalation

• The following eight years of guaranteed contracts have dayrates set by the Pricing Mechanism, which is a global index of similar rigs (excluding Norway and any other niche harsh environment markets) with a modest discount to market, and a floor that provides a minimum level of profitability

• Thereafter, as long as the rigs can meet the technical specifications and the operational requirements of Saudi Aramco, preference for new Saudi Aramco drilling contracts will be given to these rigs
