Securities Act.

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.
Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents filed with the
Commission by the Registrant are hereby incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference:

•
The Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K (File No. 001-36584) filed with the Commission on February 9, 2015 and February 13, 2015; and

The description of the Registrant's common units representing limited liability company interests contained in the Registrant's registration statement on Form 8-A (File No. 001-36584) filed with the
Commission on July 30, 2014 pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating, changing or modifying such

Except to the extent that information is deemed furnished and not filed pursuant to securities laws and

Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 7.15 of the Registrant's
Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the "LLC Agreement") provides that the Registrant will indemnify and hold harmless the following persons (each, an "Indemnitee"), in most circumstances, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all
threatened, pending or completed claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal and including appeals:
•
the Transocean Member (as defined in the LLC Agreement) or any successor owning the Transocean Member interest;
•
any departing member owning the Transocean Member interest;
•
any person who is or was an affiliate of the Transocean Member or any departing member owning the Transocean Member interest;
•
any person who is or was an officer, director, member, fiduciary or trustee of the Registrant, its subsidiaries, the Transocean Member, any departing member owning the Transocean Member interest, or any of their
respective affiliates;
•
any person who is or was serving at the request of the board of directors, the Transocean Member or any departing Transocean Member or any affiliate of the Transocean Member or any departing Transocean Member as a
managing member, manager, general partner, director, officer, fiduciary or trustee of another person owing a fiduciary or similar duty to the Registrant and its subsidiaries (provided, however, that a person shall not be an indemnitee by reason of
providing, on a fee-for-services basis, trustee, fiduciary or custodial services);
•
any person designated by the Registrant's board of directors as an indemnitee for purposes of the LLC Agreement because such person's services, status or relationship exposes such person to potential claims,
demands, actions, suits or proceedings relating to the business and affairs of the Registrant and its subsidiaries.
Any
indemnification under these provisions will only be out of the Registrant's assets. Unless it otherwise agrees, the Transocean Member or any departing member owning the Transocean Member interest will not be personally liable for or have any
obligation to contribute or lend funds or assets to us to enable us to effectuate indemnification.
Section 7.15(b) of the LLC
Agreement states that to the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an indemnitee in appearing at, participating in or defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to
time, be advanced by the Registrant prior to a final and non-appealable determination that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified upon receipt by the Registrant of any undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnitee to repay such amount if
it shall be ultimately determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by Section 7.15 of the LLC Agreement.
The Registrant may purchase insurance against liabilities asserted against and expenses incurred by persons for the Registrant's
activities, regardless of whether the Registrant would have the power to indemnify the person against liabilities under the LLC Agreement.

Item 7.
Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits.
See Exhibit Index.
Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated
by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d)
of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
II-3
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-4
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe
that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Aberdeen, Scotland, on February 26, 2015.
