Oslo, Norway, November 13, 2024

NorAm Drilling AS (the "Company" or "NorAm"), today reported unaudited results
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024: 

HIGHLIGHTS
o Reported Revenues of MUSD 26.5
o Adjusted EBITDA of MUSD 6.0
o Improved fleet utilization by 3.4% to 89.3%
o Current revenue backlog of MUSD 26.6 as of November 13, 2024

Marty L. Jimmerson, Chief Executive Officer of NorAm Drilling AS commented: 
«During the third quarter, rig counts in the US and Permian were essentially
flat. The US rig market has been impacted by reduced drilling demand after
substantial consolidation activity among operators, continued production
discipline being demonstrated by most E&Ps and near-term uncertainties regarding
global demand for oil. On the other hand, we expect the results of the recent US
election to increase focus on US energy production and drilling demand should be
positively impacted in the medium to long term horizon.

With our industry low-cost base and zero debt, we continue to return capital to
shareholders despite market headwinds and this demonstrates the strength of our
unique model. We paid MUSD 5.2 or NOK 1.30 per share in monthly dividends in the
quarter and have declared two additional dividends after quarter end. Our rigs
are among the very top performers measured in feet drilled per day in the U.S.
shale market, and NorAm should be well positioned in a market recovery.»
