INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

	
		
Item 7.01	Regulation FD Disclosure	
 
The Fleet Status Report of Ensco plc as of October 16, 2014 is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
 
The information furnished in Item 7.01 and in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

	
		
Item 8.01	Other Events	
 
On September 30, 2014, we sold jackup rigs ENSCO 83, ENSCO 89, ENSCO 93 and ENSCO 98, all of which are currently contracted to Petroleos Mexicanos ("Pemex"), for proceeds of $212 million. The carrying value of these assets was $170 million.
 
In connection with the rig sales, we executed charter agreements with the buyer whereby Ensco will continue to operate the rigs for the duration of the Pemex contracts. As a result, we accounted for the transaction as a sale leaseback.

After considering commissions and other costs totaling $5 million, we estimate the transaction will result in a gain of $37 million, of which $8 million will be recorded during the third quarter of 2014. The remaining $29 million gain will be amortized over the remainder of the charter terms. These gains will reduce Jackup segment contract drilling expense.

Beginning October 1, 2014, operating results for these four rigs will be reported in the Other segment, including charter fees of approximately $39,000 per day per rig that will increase contract drilling expense.

Definitions and Disclaimers
 
Day Rate Definition. The day rates reflected in this Fleet Status Report are the operating day rates charged to customers, which may include estimated contractual adjustments for changes in operating costs and/or reimbursable cost adjustments for ongoing expenses such as crew, catering, insurance and taxes. The day rates, however, do not include certain types of non-recurring revenues such as lump sum mobilization payments, revenues earned during mobilizations, revenues associated with contract preparation and other non-recurring reimbursable items such as mobilizations and capital enhancements, and the impact of the fair market value adjustments to previously acquired drilling contracts. Routine and non-routine downtime may reduce the actual revenues recognized during the contract term. Additionally, the Company occasionally negotiates special rates with customers as noted in the comments that reduce revenues recognized during the contract term. Significant zero rate estimates are reflected in the comments section for the remainder of 2014 and 2015.
 
Forward Looking Statement. Statements contained in this Fleet Status Report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements include words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “will” and similar words and specifically include statements involving future rig day rates; cost adjustments; utilization; estimated rig availability; contract duration, status, terms and other contract commitments; customers; rig enhancement projects; new rig commitments; the expected period of time and number of rigs that will be in a shipyard for repairs, maintenance, enhancement or construction; sale leaseback transactions; and scheduled delivery dates for new rigs. Such statements are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results to vary materially from those indicated, including governmental regulatory, legislative and permitting requirements affecting drilling operations; changes in worldwide rig supply and demand, competition and technology; future levels of offshore drilling activity; downtime and other risks associated with offshore rig operations, relocations, severe weather or hurricanes; possible cancellation or suspension of drilling contracts as a result of mechanical difficulties, performance or other reasons; risks inherent to shipyard rig construction, repair, maintenance or enhancement; actual contract commencement dates; environmental or other liabilities, risks or losses; our ability to attract and retain skilled personnel on commercially reasonable terms; governmental action, civil unrest and political and economic uncertainties; terrorism, piracy and military action; and the outcome of litigation, legal proceedings, investigations or other claims or contract disputes.  In addition to the numerous factors described above, you should also carefully read and consider “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, as updated in our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or on the Investor Relations section of our website at www.enscoplc.com.  Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward looking statements, except as required by law.
