We evaluate our estimates of remaining useful lives and salvage value for our rigs when changes in market or economic conditions occur that may impact our estimates of the carrying value of these assets. During the three

months ended September 30, 2007, we completed a technical evaluation of our offshore fleet. As a result of this evaluation, remaining useful lives and estimated salvage values were adjusted on certain rigs in the fleet. These changes were primarily a result of changing market conditions, the significant capital investment in certain rigs and revisions to, and standardization of, maintenance practices. As a result of our evaluation, effective July 1, 2007, we increased our estimates of the remaining lives on certain semisubmersible and jackup rigs in our fleet between four and eight years, increased the expected useful lives of our drillships from 25 years to 35 years and our semisubmersibles from 25 years to 30 years, and updated our estimated salvage value for all of our offshore drilling rig fleet to 10% of the historical cost of the rig. The effect of these changes in estimates was a reduction to depreciation expense of approximately $14.5 million and an after-tax increase to diluted earnings per share of $0.07 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007.

Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are carried at original cost or adjusted net realizable value, as applicable. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the respective asset’s remaining useful life. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold or retired, the remaining costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations.

For financial reporting purposes, depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method based upon expected useful lives of each class of assets. Expected useful lives of the assets for financial reporting purposes are as follows:
 
     
    Years
 
Rigs and rig equipment
  5 - 25
Transportation equipment
  3 - 7
Buildings and improvements
  10 - 20
Furniture and fixtures

Rigs and rig equipment have salvage values not exceeding 20% of the cost of the rig or rig equipment.
 
Interest is capitalized on construction-in-progress at the weighted average cost of debt outstanding during the period of construction or at the interest rate on debt incurred for construction.
 
We assess the recoverability of the carrying amount of property and equipment if certain events or changes occur, such as significant decrease in market value of the assets or a significant change in the business conditions in a particular market. In 2006, we recognized an impairment charge of $3.9 million related to two platform rigs and three land workover rigs. In 2005, we recognized an impairment charge of $1.0 million related to damage a platform rig sustained in 2004. In 2004, we recognized an impairment charge of $24.9 million related to retiring 16 stacked land rigs and nine shallow water platform rigs and a loss on impairment of an inactive land rig and other equipment.
