Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

We have previously disclosed a potential commitment on a drilling rig in our North Sea operations relating to a dispute with the rig operator.  On June 6, 2011, we entered into a settlement agreement with the rig operator whereby the parties were mutually released from all future claims.  We incurred costs of $14 million related to the settlement, which are included in capital expenditures.
