REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
----------------------------------------

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of ENSCO International Incorporated


We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of ENSCO
International Incorporated as of June 30, 1997 and the related consolidated
statements of income and of cash flows for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. This financial information is the
responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical
procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible
for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope
than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding
the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial information for it to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We previously audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996, and the
related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the year
then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated January 28, 1997
we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 1996, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

ENSCO INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 presentation of the
financial position, results of operations and of cash flows for the interim
periods presented.

The financial data for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997
included herein have been subjected to a limited review by Price Waterhouse
LLP, the registrant's independent accountants. The accompanying review
report of independent accountants is not a report within the meaning of
Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 and the independent
accountant's liability under Section 11 does not extend to it.

Results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will
be realized for the year ending December 31, 1997. It is recommended that
these financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 1996 included in the Company's Annual Report to the Securities
and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.

Note 2 - Acquisition of DUAL DRILLING COMPANY

On June 12, 1996, the Company acquired DUAL DRILLING COMPANY ("Dual"),
pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger among the Company, a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company, and Dual. The acquisition was approved on
that date by Dual stockholders who received 0.625 shares of the Company's
common stock for each share of Dual common stock. The Company issued
approximately 10.1 million shares of its common stock to Dual stockholders
in connection with the acquisition, resulting in an acquisition price of
approximately $218.4 million.

The Company accounted for the acquisition of Dual under the purchase
accounting method. The excess of the purchase price over net assets
acquired approximated $115 million and is being amortized over 40 years.

The acquired Dual operations consisted of a fleet of 20 offshore drilling
rigs, including 10 jackup rigs and 10 platform rigs. Four of the jackup
rigs are presently located in the Gulf of Mexico and six are located in
various locations throughout Southeast Asia. Of the 10 platform rigs
operated by Dual, seven are currently located in the Gulf of Mexico and
one, which is not owned but managed, is located off the coast of China.
The remaining two platform rigs were retired in September 1996.
The following  unaudited  pro  forma  information  shows  the  consolidated
results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 based upon
adjustments to the 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, 1996 (in
thousands, except per share data):

1996
--------

Operating revenues $235,337
Operating income $ 52,700
Net income $ 34,773

Earnings per share $ .48

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, 1996 or of results that may occur in the
future.

Note 3 - Purchase of Additional Rig Interest

In May 1997, the Company acquired the remaining 51% interest in a jointly
owned premium jackup rig located in Southeast Asia. The Company previously
acquired a 49% interest in the rig as a result of the acquisition of Dual.

Note 4 - Long-Term Debt

On February 27, 1997, the Company amended and restated its $150.0 million
revolving credit facility with a group of international banks, increasing
availability under the amended and restated revolving credit facility (the
"Facility") to $200.0 million and reducing the interest rate margin and the
commitment fee. Availability under the Facility will be reduced by $14.0
million on a semi-annual basis beginning April 1998. The final maturity
date of the Facility remains October 2001 and the Facility continues to be
collateralized by the majority of the Company's jackup rigs. 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 the London InterBank Offered Rate. As of June 30, 1997, $100.0
million was outstanding and $100.0 million was available for future
borrowing under the Facility. The weighted-average interest rate on the
Facility was 6.5% as of June 30, 1997.

Note 5 - Related Party Transaction

In January 1997, a director of the Company settled a $675,000 note payable
to the Company. The note payable related to the director's purchase of
168,750 shares of restricted common stock of the Company in 1988. The note
was settled through the delivery to the Company of restricted shares of the
Company's common stock valued at a formula price provided for in the
director's 1988 stock purchase agreement. As a result, the director
retained 132,998 net shares of common stock and $238,000 cash after
repayment of the note.
Note 6 - Amendment of Shareholder Rights Plan

On March 3, 1997, the Board of Directors of ENSCO amended the Shareholder
Rights Plan of the Company to increase the purchase price from $50.00 to
$250.00 for each one one-hundredth of a share of preferred stock
purchasable upon the exercise of a Right, subject to adjustment.

Note 7 - Earnings Per Share

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share,"
(the "Statement") which establishes new standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share. The new Statement is intended to simplify
the standard for computing earnings per share and will require the
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the
income statement, including all prior periods presented. The Statement is
effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December
15, 1997, and earlier adoption is not permitted. For the quarters ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996, the calculation of earnings per share in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS No. 128 would have resulted in basic earnings
per share of $.74 and $.35 and diluted earnings per share of $.73 and $.34,
for the respective periods. For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
1996, the calculation of earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128
would have resulted in basic earnings per share of $1.26 and $.59 and
diluted earnings per share of $1.24 and $.58, for the respective periods.
ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements based on current
expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the
forward-looking statements. Generally, forward-looking statements include
words or phrases such as "management anticipates", "the Company believes",
"the Company anticipates" and words and phrases of similar impact. The
forward-looking statements are made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not
limited to: (i) industry conditions and competition, (ii) the cyclical
nature of the industry, (iii) worldwide expenditures for oil and gas
drilling, (iv) operational risks and insurance, (v) risks associated with
operating in foreign jurisdictions, (vi) environmental liabilities which
may arise in the future which are not covered by insurance or indemnity,
(vii) the impact of current and future laws and governmental regulation, as
well as repeal or modification of the same, affecting the oil and gas
industry and the Company's operations in particular, and (viii) the risks
described from time to time in the Company's reports to the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1996.

Demand for the Company's services is significantly affected by worldwide
expenditures for oil and gas drilling. Expenditures for oil and gas
drilling activity fluctuate based upon many factors including world
economic conditions, the legislative environment in the U.S. and other
major countries, production levels and other activities of OPEC and other
oil and gas producers and the impact that those and other events have on
the current and expected future pricing of oil and natural gas.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

ENSCO International Incorporated is one of the largest providers of
offshore drilling services and marine transportation services to the oil
and gas industry. The Company's operations are conducted in the geographic
cores of North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America. The
geographic region in which the Company has the largest operation is North
America where the Company operates primarily in the Gulf of Mexico. The
Company's European operations are concentrated in the North Sea and the
South American operations are conducted on Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela.

Offshore drilling and marine transportation services are largely affected
by the supply and demand for available equipment. Currently, nearly all
actively marketed offshore rigs in the world are under contract and the
demand for high quality rigs exceeds supply in most areas. Based on
current industry conditions and the projected capital spending levels of
major oil and gas companies, the Company believes the outlook remains
positive for additional increases in day rates and continued high demand
for the remainder of 1997.
Offshore rig and marine vessel  industry utilization for the three and  six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are summarized below:

The Company's consolidated revenues, operating margin and operating income
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 increased significantly
from the same periods in 1996. The increases were due to higher average
day rates and utilization for the Company's drilling rigs and marine
vessels over 1996 levels and the results from the drilling rigs acquired in
the Dual acquisition in mid-June 1996.
Contract Drilling
- - -----------------
The following is an analysis of the Company's offshore drilling rigs at
June 30, 1997 and 1996:

1997 1996
---- ----
Jackup rigs:
North America 22 23
Europe 6 6
Asia Pacific 7 5
---- ----
Total jackup rigs 35 34
Barge rigs - South America 10 10
Platform rigs* 8 10
---- ----
Total 53 54
---- ----

* Seven are located in the Gulf of Mexico and one,
which is not owned but operated under a management
contract, is located off the coast of China.

Revenues and operating margin for the Company's contract drilling segment
for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 were up $88.9 million, or 106%, and
$63.1 million, or 153%, respectively, from the comparable prior year
quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, revenues were up $156.7
million, or 100%, and operating margin increased $106.4 million, or 139%,
respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year. The
significantly improved 1997 results were primarily due to increased day
rates and utilization for rigs owned by the Company in both the current and
prior year comparable periods and from the revenues and operating margin
generated from the rigs acquired in the mid-June 1996 acquisition of Dual.

For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, revenues and operating margin from the
Company's North America jackup rigs increased by $45.6 million, or 111%,
and $36.4 million, or 179%, respectively, over the prior year quarter. For
the six months ended June 30, 1997, revenues and operating margin increased
by $77.3 million, or 100%, and $62.0 million, or 170%, respectively, from
the comparable prior year period. These improvements are due primarily to
increased average day rates of 70% and 65% for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1997, respectively, over the comparable prior year periods.
In addition, the North America jackup rigs acquired in the Dual acquisition
increased revenues and operating margin by approximately $13.2 million and
$8.3 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30,
1997.

Revenues and operating margin from the Company's Europe jackup rigs
increased by $19.6 million, or 99%, and $19.0 million, or 288%,
respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 over the comparable prior
year quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, revenues and
operating margin increased by $30.9 million, or 76%, and $28.9 million, or
180%, respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year. These
improvements are due primarily to increased average day rates of 58% and
50% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, over
the same periods in the prior year.  Also, utilization increased to 100% in
the current year periods from 78% and 86% for the comparable three and six
month periods in the prior year, respectively. In the prior year, two of
the Company's Europe jackup rigs were undergoing modifications and
enhancements for a portion of the first six months of 1996.

The Company's Asia Pacific operations were acquired as part of the Dual
acquisition and the prior year results included only a partial month of
operations. Subsequent to the Dual acquisition, the Company purchased an
additional jackup rig located in Southeast Asia in November 1996 and
transferred another jackup rig from the Gulf of Mexico to Southeast Asia in
the first quarter of 1997. In May 1997, the Company completed the
acquisition of the remaining 51% interest in a jointly owned jackup rig
located in Southeast Asia. This rig is currently undergoing modifications
and enhancement and will remain in the shipyard for most of the third
quarter of 1997. During the second quarter of 1997, two of the Company's
Asia Pacific jackup rigs that had been in the shipyard since late 1996
undergoing modifications and enhancements returned to work.

Revenues from the Company's South America barge rigs increased by $1.4
million, or 7%, and operating margin decreased by $1.1 million, or 8%,
respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 compared to same period
in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, revenues and
operating margin increased by $6.0 million, or 17%, and $2.0 million, or
9%, respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year. These
improvements are due primarily to increased utilization to 100% in the
current year from 85% and 82% for the three and six months ended June 30,
1996, respectively. The increase in utilization is attributable to two of
the Company's barge drilling rigs that were undergoing modification for
most of the first six months of the prior year that returned to work in May
and June of 1996. The increased utilization is offset by a decrease in
average day rates from the comparable 1996 periods due to the recovery of
prior cost increases included in the second quarter of 1996. These cost
recoveries were the primary factor in the decrease in operating margin for
the quarter ended June 30, 1997 compared to the prior year quarter.

Marine Transportation
- - ---------------------
The following is an analysis of the Company's marine transportation vessels
as of June 30, 1997 and 1996:

1997 1996

AHTS * 6 6
Supply 23 23
Mini-Supply 8 8

* Anchor handling tug supply vessels.

Revenues and operating margin for the Company's marine transportation
segment for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 were up $9.3 million, or 68%,
and $7.1 million, or 105%, respectively, from the comparable prior year
quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, revenues and operating
margins  increased $18.5  million,  or 73%,  and  $14.3 million,  or  117%,
respectively, from the prior year period. The 1997 results improved
significantly over the prior year periods due to increased utilization and
increased average day rates of approximately 60% and 62% for the comparable
three and six month periods of 1996 and 1997, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization
- - -----------------------------
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $7.9 million, or 44%,
and $15.7 million, or 46%, for the three and six months ended June 30,
1997, respectively, as compared to the same prior year periods. These
increases were due primarily to depreciation and amortization from the
additional drilling rigs and goodwill associated with the Dual acquisition,
and depreciation associated with major modifications and enhancements to
the Company's fleet in 1996 and the first part of 1997.

Other Income (Expense)
- - ----------------------
Other income (expense) for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and
1996 was as follows (in thousands):

Three months ended Six months ended
June 30, June 30,
------------------ ------------------
1997 1996 1997 1996
-------- -------- -------- --------

Interest income $ 1,287 $ 1,098 $ 2,701 $ 2,334
Interest expense (4,806) (4,387) (10,663) (8,436)
Other, net 69 7,458 160 7,722
------- ------- ------- -------
$(3,450) $ 4,169 $(7,802) $ 1,620
======= ======= ======= =======

The Company's interest income increased for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1997 over the comparable prior year periods due primarily to
higher average cash balances in the current year.

Interest expense increased for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 1997 over the comparable prior year periods due primarily to the
additional debt assumed in the Dual acquisition, offset, in part, by debt
repayments.

"Other, net" decreased for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1997 as compared to the prior year periods due primarily to a $6.4 million
gain on a settlement with TransAmerican Natural Gas Corporation recorded in
the second quarter of 1996.

Provision for Income Taxes
- - --------------------------
The Company's provisions for income taxes increased significantly for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the prior year
periods due primarily to the increased profitability of the Company and the
recognition of the remaining net operating losses for financial reporting
purposes in 1996.
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, 1997 and 1996 were as follows (in thousands):

1997 1996
-------- --------

Cash flow from operations $145,053 $ 83,947
======== ========
Capital expenditures
Sustaining $ 13,316 $ 6,264
Enhancements 79,049 49,754
Acquisitions 21,676 13,271
-------- --------
$114,041 $ 69,289
======== ========

Cash flow from operations increased by $61.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The
increase in cash flow from operations is primarily a result of increased
operating margins in the first six months of 1997 offset, in part, by a
decrease in cash flow from the net change in various working capital
accounts.

Management anticipates that capital expenditures in 1997, excluding
acquisitions, will be approximately $170.0 million to $190.0 million,
represented by approximately $30.0 million for existing operations and
$140.0 million to $160.0 million for modifications and enhancements of rigs
and vessels. The Company may spend additional funds to acquire rigs or
vessels in 1997, 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, 1997 and December 31, 1996 are summarized below (in thousands,
except percentages):

June 30, December 31,
1997 1996
---------- ------------

Long-term debt $ 215,553 $ 258,635
Total capital 1,150,776 1,104,586
Long-term debt to total capital 19% 23%

The decrease in long-term debt is due to $42.3 million of debt repayments
in the first six months of 1997. The total capital of the Company
increased due primarily to the profitability of the Company for the first
six months of 1997.

On February 27, 1997, the Company amended and restated its $150.0 million
revolving credit facility with a group of international banks, increasing
availability under the amended and restated revolving credit facility (the
"Facility") to $200.0 million and reducing the interest rate margin and the
commitment fee. Availability under the Facility will be reduced by $14.0
million on a semi-annual basis beginning April 1998. The final maturity
date of the Facility remains October 2001 and the Facility continues to be
collateralized by the majority of the Company's jackup rigs. 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 the London InterBank Offered Rate. As of June 30, 1997, $100.0
million was outstanding and $100.0 million was available for future
borrowing under the Facility. The weighted-average interest rate on the
Facility was 6.5% as of June 30, 1997.

The Company's liquidity position at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 is
summarized in the table below (in thousands, except ratios):

June 30, December 31,
1997 1996
---------- ------------

Cash and cash equivalent $ 71,715 $ 80,698
Working capital 111,165 107,519
Current ratio 1.9 2.0

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 February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share,"
(the "Statement") which establishes new standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share. The new Statement is intended to simplify
the standard for computing earnings per share and will require the
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the
income statement, including all prior periods presented. The Statement is
effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December
15, 1997, and earlier adoption is not permitted. For the quarters ended
June 31, 1997 and 1996, the calculation of earnings per share in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS No. 128 would have resulted in basic earnings
per share of $.74 and $.35 and diluted earnings per share of $.73 and $.34,
for the respective periods. For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
1996, the calculation of earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128
would have resulted in basic earnings per share of $1.26 and $.59 and
diluted earnings per share of $1.24 and $.58, for the respective periods.
