  Performance Award and Cash Bonus Plan for 2007
  Transocean Inc. ("Transocean," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") has historically awarded annual cash bonuses to our executive officers under our Performance Award and Cash Bonus Plan (the "Plan"). On February 7, 2007, our Executive Compensation Committee (the "Committee") re-approved the application of the Plan to our named executive officers and certain other employees for 2007.  The amount of an eligible employee's target bonus opportunity payable pursuant to the Plan, which is expressed as a percentage of base salary earned in a given year, depends primarily upon that individual's position and responsibilities and bonus opportunities provided to comparable positions at competitors in our industry.
  As previously approved by the Committee, the amount of any cash bonus payable to any eligible employee under the Plan in 2007 is based on the level of achievement of (i) one company-wide financial goal and (ii) three corporate goals.  The financial goal is weighted at 50% and the corporate goals are collectively weighted at 50%.  Depending on the Committee's evaluation in 2008 of our performance for 2007 against these goals, the actual bonus payment can range from 0% to 190% of the target bonus opportunity, but is subject to an adjustment based on our relative cash flow return on market capitalization for 2007, the effect of which could reduce or increase the final bonus payment for 2007 to each eligible employee by up to 50%.  The Committee may also use its discretion to take account of other factors.
  The financial goal included in the Plan for 2007 is based on our 2007 Cash Flow Value Added ("CFVA") as compared to our annual budget.
  Where CFVA equals:
  Net Income (Loss) before Extraordinary Items
  Plus:	      Depreciation Expense
  Plus (Minus):  Net Interest (Income) Expense
  Plus (Minus):  (Gain) Loss, net of tax, on Debt Retirement or Asset Sales,
  Dispositions or Impairments
  Plus (Minus):  Other Unusual Items, net of tax
  Plus (Minus):  Unusual Tax Items
  Plus: 	      Expenditures related to Approved Long-Term Investments
  Minus:	      Charge for Average Capital (Weighted Average Cost of Capital
  multiplied by Average Capital)
  Where Average Capital equals:
  Total Equity
  Plus:	      Total Long-Term Debt (Book Value)
  Minus:	      Cash and Cash Equivalents
  Minus:	      Goodwill
  Plus:	      Capitalized Lease Obligations under GAAP (Short and Long Term)
  Minus:	      Net Book Value of Fixed Assets
  Plus:	      Fair Market Value of Fleet (excluding newbuilds)
  Plus:	      Incremental Capital Expenditures during the Year
  Minus:	      Capital Expenditures related to Newbuilds and other Approved Long-
  Term Investments.
  Payout of the financial goal is based on a sliding scale that measures our CFVA performance for 2007 relative to our annual budget.
  The corporate goals included in the Plan for 2007 include goals related to (i) safety, (ii) cost control and project management and (iii) human resource development.
