NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


Note 1 - Unaudited Financial Statements
- ---------------------------------------

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
ENSCO International Incorporated (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, in the
opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (which consist of normal
recurring adjustments) which are necessary for a fair statement of the
results of operations for the interim periods presented.

On June 12, 1996, the Company acquired DUAL DRILLING COMPANY ("Dual"). See
"Note 2 - Acquisition" below. The Company's consolidated financial
statements include the results of Dual from the June 12, 1996 acquisition
date.

It is recommended that these statements be read in conjunction with the
Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year
ended December 31, 1995 included in the Company's Annual Report to the
Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K. As a result of the sale
of the Company's technical services business effective September 30, 1995,
the Company's 1995 Consolidated Statements of Income and of Cash Flows
presented herein have been reclassified to present the Company's technical
services operations as a discontinued operation.

Note 2 - Acquisition
- --------------------

On June 12, 1996, the Company acquired Dual pursuant to an Agreement and
Plan of Merger among the Company, DDC Acquisition Company and Dual (the
"Merger Agreement") approved by Dual stockholders on that date. Under the
terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of Dual common stock was
immediately converted into the right to receive 0.625 shares of the
Company's common stock. The Company issued approximately 10.1 million
shares of its common stock to the previous Dual stockholders in connection
with the acquisition of Dual.

The Company accounted for the acquisition of Dual as a purchase
acquisition. The purchase price allocation has been based on preliminary
estimates of fair value and is subject to adjustment as additional
information becomes available and is evaluated. The primary areas subject
to further purchase price adjustment are reserves associated with insurance
related matters and taxes.

The acquired Dual operations consist of a fleet of 20 offshore drilling
rigs, including 10 jackup rigs and 10 platform rigs. Five of Dual's jackup
rigs are located in the Gulf of Mexico and the remaining five jackup rigs
are located offshore Indonesia, India and Qatar. Of the 10 platform rigs
operated by Dual, seven are currently located in the Gulf of Mexico, two
are located off the coast of California and one is located off the coast of
China.
The following  unaudited  pro  forma  information  shows  the  consolidated
results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 based
upon adjustments to the restated historical financial statements of the
Company and the historical financial statements of Dual to give effect to
the acquisition by the Company as if such acquisition had occurred January
1, 1995 (in thousands, except per share data):

1996 1995
-------- --------

Operating revenues $235,337 $169,653
Operating income $ 52,700 $ 17,406
Income from continuing operations $ 34,773 $ 7,232
Net income $ 34,773 $ 7,849

Earnings per share $ 0.48 $ 0.11

The pro forma consolidated results of operations are not necessarily
indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had the
acquisition occurred on January 1, 1995, or of results that may occur in
the future.

Note 3 - Gain on Settlement
- ---------------------------

In February 1991, a subsidiary of the Company filed an action against
TransAmerican Natural Gas Corporation and related subsidiaries and
affiliates ("TransAmerican") seeking damages for breach of contract. On
April 5, 1996, the U.S. District court for the Southern District of Texas,
Houston Division, entered a judgment against TransAmerican. As a result of
the judgment, on April 18, 1996, the subsidiary of the Company entered into
a settlement agreement with TransAmerican. Under the terms of the
settlement agreement, the subsidiary of the Company received approximately
$7.3 million. In the second quarter of 1996, the Company recorded a gain
of $6.4 million under the caption "Other, net" with a corresponding
increase in deferred income tax expense of $2.2 million for an after tax
gain of $4.2 million.

Note 4 - Long-Term Debt
- -----------------------

On June 13, 1996, the Company amended its $130.0 million revolving credit
facility with a group of international banks, increasing availability under
the revolving credit facility to $150.0 million ("facility"). On the same
date, the Company borrowed an additional $45.0 million under the facility,
increasing outstanding borrowings under the facility to $111.0 million.
Proceeds from the additional $45.0 million of borrowings under the facility
were used to refinance approximately $41.8 million of Dual's long-term
debt. Availability under the facility is reduced by $7.0 million on a
semi-annual basis commencing in October 1996, with the remaining
outstanding balance due in October 2001. The facility continues to be
collateralized by the majority of the Company's jackup rigs, including
certain of the jackup rigs acquired in the acquisition of Dual. The
covenants under the facility are similar to the covenants that existed
under the original revolving credit facility and the interest rate
continues to be tied to London InterBank Offered Rates. As of June 30,
1996, the interest rate on the facility was 7.1%.
At June  30, 1996, Dual had  outstanding $100.0 million (face  amount) of 9
7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004 ("9 7/8% Notes"). As of June 30,
1996, the Company had purchased $17.3 million (face amount) of the 9 7/8 %
Notes on the open market. The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 1996
reflects long-term debt net of the $17.3 million (face amount) of 9 7/8%
Notes purchased by the Company. In mid-July 1996, the Company purchased an
additional $3.8 million (face amount) of the 9 7/8% Notes on the open
market. Additionally, in mid-July 1996 $5.0 million (face amount) of the 9
7/8% Notes were redeemed pursuant to an offer by Dual to purchase the 9
7/8% Notes following a change in control.

Note 5 - Provision for Income Taxes
- -----------------------------------

The current income tax provisions for the three and six months ended June
30, 1996 are primarily for United States alternative minimum taxes and the
Company's operations in Venezuela and the Netherlands. The deferred income
tax provisions for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 relate to
the Company's operations in the U.S., the United Kingdom and Venezuela. No
provision for regular U.S. federal income taxes has been recorded for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996 due to the utilization of net
operating loss carryforwards to offset taxes currently payable.

At June 30, 1996, the Company had regular and alternative minimum tax net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $264.7 million and $140.8
million, respectively, and investment tax credit and alternative minimum
tax credit carryforwards of approximately $360,000 and $1.5 million,
respectively.

Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies
- --------------------------------------

In mid-January 1996, one of the Company's jackup rigs located in the Gulf
of Mexico experienced damage as it was preparing to jack up on a new
location. The jackup rig was mobilized to a shipyard where it is currently
undergoing repairs and is expected to be available for work in late 1996.
The Company is fully insured for damage to and salvage operations related
to the jackup rig and the Company expects that all such costs incurred will
be recoverable from its insurance coverage. As of June 30, 1996, the
Company had a receivable recorded from its insurance carrier of
approximately $2.6 million related to damage to and salvage operations
related to the rig.

Note 7 - Subsequent Events
- --------------------------

The Company sold substantially all of the assets of its technical services
business in 1995. The consideration received by the Company in the sale
consisted of $11.8 million in cash and two notes from the purchaser
("Purchaser") totalling $6.1 million. The notes consisted of a $3.6
million promissory note and a $2.5 million convertible promissory note. In
early July 1996, the Purchaser completed an initial public offering of its
common stock ("Purchaser's IPO"). In connection with the Purchaser's IPO,
the $ 3.6 million promissory note was paid in full and the $2.5 million
convertible promissory note was converted into common stock of the
Purchaser. The Purchaser's common stock received by the Company in
connection with the conversion of the $2.5 million convertible promissory
note was sold  for $5.4 million in  the Purchaser's IPO.  The  Company will
record a gain of approximately $2.9 million, exclusive of taxes, in the
third quarter of 1996 associated with the sale of the Purchaser's common
stock received by the Company from conversion of the $2.5 million
convertible promissory note.

In mid-July 1996, the Company sold its remaining land rig, which was
located in the Middle East, for $2.5 million. The Company will record a
gain of approximately $750,000, exclusive of income taxes, in the third
quarter of 1996 associated with the sale of the rig.
ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

ENSCO International Incorporated (the "Company") provides offshore contract
drilling and marine transportation services to the oil and gas industry.
The Company's contract drilling operations are primarily conducted in the
Gulf of Mexico, the North Sea, Venezuela and Asia. The marine
transportation services provided by the Company are currently conducted
solely in the Gulf of Mexico.

Industry activity levels for offshore drilling rigs and Gulf of Mexico
marine vessels have increased in the first half of 1996 over the already
improved levels prevalent in the second half of 1995. The increased
activity levels in 1996 have resulted in demand sufficient to absorb almost
all of the rigs that are in working condition and being actively marketed
in the major offshore oil and gas markets throughout the world and for Gulf
of Mexico marine vessels that are in working condition and being actively
marketed.

Industry activity levels for Gulf of Mexico drilling rigs have consistently
increased since mid-1995. Management believes current Gulf of Mexico
industry activity levels are sustainable for the remainder of 1996 unless
there is a significant and unexpected deterioration in natural gas prices.
In particular, demand for cantilever jackup rigs, which is the Company's
main focus, is expected to remain strong due to the increased level of
development activity which requires cantilevered drilling over existing
production platforms. Activity levels for the Company's marine
transportation vessels generally correspond with activity levels
experienced for the Company's Gulf of Mexico rigs.

In the North Sea, industry activity levels increased in the first half of
1996 with full utilization of all actively marketed jackup rigs as compared
to near full utilization in the second half of 1995. During 1996, reduced
industry activity levels in the British sector of the North Sea (due to
lower natural gas prices in the United Kingdom) have been offset by higher
activity levels in other sectors of the North Sea, particularly Holland.
Further decreases in United Kingdom natural gas prices and related activity
levels in the British sector of the North Sea without an offsetting
increase in activity levels in other sectors of the North Sea could
adversely impact the overall North Sea market.

In Asia, during the first half of 1996, demand for offshore drilling rigs
has increased while the supply of actively marketed offshore drilling rigs
has continued to fall. Management anticipates that activity levels for
offshore drilling rigs in Asia should remain fairly stable for the
remainder of 1996 unless there is a significant deterioration in oil
prices.

The Company's barge drilling rigs in Venezuela generally operate under
long-term contracts for a national oil company. As a result, their
activity levels are not as dependent on oil prices.
Offshore rig and marine vessel  industry utilization for the three and  six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are summarized below:

The Company's consolidated revenues, operating margin and operating income
(defined as revenues less operating expenses, depreciation and general and
administrative expenses) for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996
increased significantly from the same periods in 1995. The increases were
due primarily to increased average day rates and utilization for the
Company's rigs and vessels in 1996 and the return to work of various rigs
and vessels that were in shipyards for major modifications and enhancements
in the prior year periods.
Contract Drilling
- -----------------

The following is an analysis of the Company's offshore drilling rigs at
June 30, 1996 and 1995:

1996 1995
------ ------
Jackup rigs:
Gulf of Mexico 23 18
North Sea 6 6
Asia 5 (1) -
Total jackup rigs 34 24
Barge rigs - Venezuela 10 10
Platform rigs 10 (2) -
Total 54 34

(1) Includes one jackup rig operated by the
Company that is 49% owned.

(2) Seven are located in the Gulf of Mexico,
two off the coast of California and one is
not owned but is operated under a
management contract off the coast of China.

Revenues and operating margins for the Company's contract drilling segment
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were up 55% and 75%, respectively,
and for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were up 45% and 64%,
respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The significantly
improved 1996 results were primarily due to increased current year activity
levels in the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea. Average day rates for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996 on the Company's jackup rigs in
the Gulf of Mexico increased by 35% and 26%, respectively, and average day
rates on the Company's North Sea jackup rigs increased by 5% and 8%,
respectively, as compared to the prior year periods.

The 1996 results also benefitted from the return to work of three of the
Company's jackup rigs, two in the North Sea and one in the Gulf of Mexico,
that were undergoing major modifications and enhancements in the prior year
periods. The increased revenue and operating margin levels in 1996 were
also due to payments received in 1996 on the Venezuela barge drilling rigs
related to the recovery of past cost increases and the contribution from
the rigs acquired from Dual.

The above increases in revenue and operating margin were partially offset
by two barge drilling rigs in Venezuela coming off contract in the second
quarter of 1995. One of the barge drilling rigs returned to work in mid-
May 1996 and the other in early-July 1996 under new long-term contracts
with Lagoven S.A. ("Lagoven"), a subsidiary of the Venezuela national oil
company.

The Venezuelan currency experienced significant devaluation in the first
half of 1994 and the Venezuelan government established policies to control
the exchange rate of the Venezuelan currency and severely restricted the
conversion of Venezuelan currency to U.S. dollars. The Venezuelan
government further devalued the Venezuela currency against the U.S. dollar
in late 1995. In April 1996, the Venezuela government removed all
conversion and exchange controls and the  Venezuelan currency began trading
freely. To date, the Company has not experienced problems associated with
receiving U.S. dollar payments with respect to the U.S. dollar portion of
its contracts with Lagoven. Changes in these conditions, other policy
enactments, or political developments in Venezuela could have an adverse
effect upon the Company. However, the Company believes such adverse
effects are unlikely due to the volume of U.S. dollars paid to the parent
company of Lagoven for its oil exports.

Marine Transportation
- ---------------------

The following is an analysis of the Company's marine transportation vessels
as of June 30, 1996 and 1995:

1996 1995
---- ----

AHTS * 6 6
Supply 23 21
Mini-Supply 8 8
Total 37 35

* Anchor handling tug supply vessels.

Revenues and operating margins for the Company's marine transportation
segment for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were up 60% and 146%,
respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were up 61% and
181%, respectively, in comparison to the prior year periods. The 1996
results improved significantly from the prior year periods due to increased
current year activity levels in the Gulf of Mexico.

Average day rates for the Company's marine transportation vessels for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996 increased by 29% and 24% from the
prior year periods. The 1996 results also benefitted from the return to
work in mid-1995 of four mini-supply vessels that were undergoing
modifications in the prior year periods and the purchase of six supply
vessels in late-1995, four of which were previously operated under
operating lease agreements.

Depreciation and Amortization
- -----------------------------

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 25% and 23% for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to the
prior year periods due primarily to depreciation associated with major
modifications and enhancements on various rigs and vessels that returned to
work in 1995 and 1996, the addition of a North Sea jackup rig in March 1995
and depreciation on six supply vessels purchased in late 1995.
Depreciation and amortization expense also increased in 1996 due to
depreciation and amortization associated with the rigs acquired from Dual.
Other Income (Expense)
- ----------------------

Other income (expense) for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995 was as follows (in thousands):

THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, JUNE 30,

------------------ ------------------
1996 1995 1996 1995
-------- -------- -------- --------

Interest income $ 1,098 $ 1,652 $ 2,334 $ 3,801
Interest expense (4,387) (4,104) (8,436) (8,495)
Other, net 7,458 400 7,722 1,343
-------- -------- -------- --------
$ 4,169 $(2,052) $ 1,620 $(3,351)

The Company's interest income decreased for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1996 as compared to the prior year periods due primarily to lower
average cash balances in the current year periods.

"Other, net" increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 as
compared to the prior year periods due primarily to a $6.4 million gain on
settlement with TransAmerican Natural Gas Corporation in the second quarter
of 1996 as discussed in "Note 3 - Gain on Settlement" to the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Provision for Income Taxes
- --------------------------

The Company's provisions for income taxes increased significantly for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the prior year
periods due primarily to increased deferred income tax provisions in the
current year periods. The Company's U.S. deferred income tax provisions
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 increased by $6.4 million
and $8.3 million, respectively, from the prior year periods due primarily
to the timing of the recognition of the expected utilization or expiration
of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards. The deferred income tax
provisions in the U.S., Venezuela and the United Kingdom also increased for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the prior year
periods due, in part, to increased differences in the book and tax basis of
property and equipment as the Company's asset additions and enhancements
have increased the difference between the book and tax basis of the
Company's property and equipment.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow and Capital Expenditures
- ----------------------------------

The Company's cash flow from operations and capital expenditures for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were as follows (in thousands):
1996           1995
-------- --------

Cash flow from operations $ 83,947 $ 43,713
Capital expenditures
Sustaining $ 6,264 $ 5,228
Enhancements 49,754 48,321
New Construction - 766
Acquisitions 13,271 12,760
-------- --------
$ 69,289 $ 67,075

Cash flow from operations increased by $40.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the prior year period. The increase in
cash flow from operations is primarily a result of increased operating
margins in the first six months of 1996 as compared to the prior year
period and an increase in cash flow from the net change in various working
capital accounts.

Management anticipates that capital expenditures in 1996 will be
approximately $130.0 million to $150.0 million, including $27.0 million to
$30.0 million for existing operations, $90.0 million to $107.0 million for
modifications and enhancements of rigs and vessels and $13.0 million
related to a deferred purchase payment on a North Sea jackup rig acquired
in March 1995. The Company may spend additional funds to acquire rigs or
vessels in 1996, depending on market conditions and opportunities.


Financing and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Company's long-term debt, total capital and debt to capital ratios at
June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 are summarized below (in thousands,
except percentages):

JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31,
1996 1995
---------- ------------

Long-term debt $ 272,988 $159,201
Total capital 1,060,100 690,450
Long-term debt to total capital 26% 23%

The increase in long-term debt relates primarily to $128.2 million of debt
assumed in the acquisition of Dual offset, in part, by scheduled repayments
of existing debt. The total capital of the Company increased due primarily
to the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock in the acquisition
of Dual valued at $218.4 million, the net increase in long-term debt as
discussed above and the profitability of the Company for the six months
ended June 30, 1996.

On June 12, 1996, the Company acquired Dual pursuant to an Agreement and
Plan of Merger among the Company, DDC Acquisition Company and Dual (the
"Merger Agreement") approved by Dual stockholders on that date. Under the
terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of Dual common stock was
immediately converted into the right to receive 0.625 shares of the
Company's common stock. The Company issued approximately 10.1 million
shares of its common stock to the previous  Dual stockholders in connection
with the acquisition of Dual.

The Company had $39.0 million undrawn under a revolving line of credit at
June 30, 1996. The revolving line of credit is reduced semi-annually by
$7.0 million commencing in October 1996, with the remaining line expiring
in October 2001. See "Note 4 - Long-Term Debt" to the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company's liquidity position at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 is
summarized in the table below (in thousands, except ratios):

JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31,
1996 1995
---------- ------------

Cash and short-term investments $76,743 $82,064
Working capital 97,749 78,945
Current ratio 1.9 1.9

Based on current energy industry conditions, management believes cash flow
from operations, the Company's existing credit facility and the Company's
working capital should be sufficient to fund the Company's short and long-
term liquidity needs.

OTHER MATTERS

In mid-July 1996, the Company purchased an additional $3.8 million (face
amount) of the Dual 9 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004 ("9 7/8%
Notes") on the open market. Additionally, in mid-July 1996 $5.0 million
(face amount) of the 9 7/8% Notes were redeemed pursuant to an offer by
Dual to purchase the 9 7/8% Notes following a change in control.

The Company sold substantially all of the assets of its technical services
business in 1995. The consideration received by the Company in the sale
consisted of $11.8 million in cash and two notes from the purchaser
("Purchaser") totalling $6.1 million. The notes consisted of a $3.6
million promissory note and a $2.5 million convertible promissory note. In
early July 1996, the Purchaser completed an initial public offering of its
common stock ("Purchaser's IPO"). In connection with the Purchaser's IPO,
the $ 3.6 million promissory note was paid in full and the $2.5 million
convertible promissory note was converted into common stock of the
Purchaser. The Purchaser's common stock received by the Company in
connection with the conversion of the $2.5 million convertible promissory
note was sold for $5.4 million in the Purchaser's IPO. The Company will
record a gain of approximately $2.9 million, exclusive of taxes, in the
third quarter of 1996 associated with the sale of the Purchaser's common
stock received by the Company from conversion of the $2.5 million
convertible promissory note.

In mid-July 1996, the Company sold its remaining land rig, which was
located in the Middle East, for $2.5 million. The Company will record a
gain of approximately $750,000, exclusive of income taxes, in the third
quarter of 1996 associated with the sale of the rig.
