Atwood Oceanics, Inc

ATWOOD OCEANICS, INC., (NYSE: ATW) a Houston-based International Drilling Contractor, announced that the VICKSBURG (owned and operated by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Atwood Oceanics Pacific Limited) has amended its contract with NuCoastal (Thailand) Limited ("NuCoastal") to extend the firm period of the contract from ninety (90) days to one hundred twenty (120) days. This contract provides NuCoastal with an option to extend the program another ninety (90) days, which must be exercised no later than thirty (30) days after commencement of the contract.

If the duration of the drilling program is for the one hundred twenty (120) days firm period only, the operating dayrate will be $95,000; however, if NuCoastal exercises the option to extend the drilling program to two hundred ten (210) days, the operating dayrate will be adjusted to $90,000 for the entire period. The VICKSBURG is currently undergoing a life enhancing upgrade at a shipyard in Thailand which is expected to be completed by the end of August 2009. Immediately upon the rig completing this upgrade, it will commence working under the contract with NuCoastal.
