Settlement secured in dispute between Kvaerner and Transocean

LONDON, 11 JUNE 2001: Kvaerner Oil & Gas and Transocean Offshore (NorthSea)
have today reached an out-of-court settlement in the dispute that was heard in
the Stavanger City Court last autumn.  Kvaerner claimed additional
compensation for variation works and disruptions in connection with the
modifications works on the drilling rig 'Transocean 8' in 1997.

The settlement implies that Transocean will pay the sum of NOK 120 million to
Kvaerner.  This sum will have a nominal effect on Kvaerner's results.  Both
parties made a joint application to have the case dismissed prior to judgement
being entered.
