                        ---------------------------------


To the Participants and Administrator of the
ENSCO Savings Plan

In our  opinion,  the  accompanying  statements  of  net  assets  available  for
benefits,  with fund information,  and the related  statement  of changes in net
assets available for benefits,  with fund  information,  present fairly,  in all
material  respects,  the net assets  available for benefits of the ENSCO Savings
Plan (the  "Plan") at  December  31,  1998 and 1997,  and the changes in its net
assets  available  for  benefits  for the  year  ended  December  31,  1998,  in
conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  These  financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's  management;  our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on our audits.  We
conducted our audits of these  statements in accordance with generally  accepted
auditing  standards  which  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements,   assessing  the
accounting  principles  used and significant  estimates made by management,  and
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits  were  conducted  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedules of Assets Held
for Investment  Purposes and Reportable  Transactions are presented for purposes
of  additional  analysis  and is not a  required  part  of the  basic  financial
statements but is additional  information  required by the Department of Labor's
Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement
Income  Security Act of 1974.  The Fund  Information  in the  statements  of net
assets  available  for  benefits  and the  statement  of  changes  in net assets
available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional  analysis  rather
than to present the net assets  available  for  benefits  and the changes in net
assets  available for benefits of each fund.  These  supplemental  schedules and
fund information are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The additional
information and fund information have been subjected to the auditing  procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial  statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly  stated in all  material  respects  in  relation  to the basic  financial
statements taken as a whole.

                               ENSCO SAVINGS PLAN
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  PLAN ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION

The ENSCO  Savings  Plan (the  "Plan") is a defined  contribution  tax  deferred
savings plan  available to employees  of ENSCO  International  Incorporated  and
subsidiary  companies  (the  "Company").  It is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). On June 12, 1996, the
Company  acquired  DUAL  DRILLING  COMPANY  ("Dual").  Dual  provided a deferred
contribution  plan  to its  employees,  DUAL  DRILLING  COMPANY  Employees'  Tax
Deferred/Thrift  Savings Plan and Trust, which the Company  anticipates  merging
into the Plan upon appropriate government and regulatory approval.

The Plan was established to provide a retirement benefit for employees through a
Company profit sharing contribution and matching contributions based on employee
contributions,  and to promote and  encourage  employees  to provide  additional
security and income for their retirement  through a systematic  savings program.
The  following  description  of the  Plan  provides  only  general  information.
Participants  should refer to the Plan document for a more complete  description
of the Plan's provisions.

Participation
- -------------

Employees of the Company may  participate  in the Plan upon  completing  certain
service  requirements,  except for those employees,  if any, who already receive
retirement  benefits in connection  with a collective  bargaining  agreement and
certain  nonresident  employees.  Eligible employees may elect to participate in
the employee savings feature of the Plan after  completing a three-month  period
of  service  with  the  Company  ("Savings  Participants").  Eligible  employees
automatically  participate  in the  profit  sharing  feature  of the Plan  after
completing a twelve-month period of service with the Company.

Effective January 1, 1997, the entry date with respect to an eligible employee's
ability to make  401(k)  contributions  is the first  business  day of the month
following  the  month  during  which  the  employee  satisfies  eligibility  and
participation  requirements.  Formerly,  the entry date an eligible employee was
permitted to begin making 401(k) contributions was on January 1 or July 1.

Contributions
- -------------

Savings  Participants  may  elect to make  contributions  to the Plan by  salary
deferrals  ("Savings  Contributions"),  which  qualify for tax  deferment  under
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code ("the Code").  Savings Contributions
are  generally  limited  to the  lesser  of 10%  of  the  Savings  Participant's
compensation, or the annual dollar limitation set forth in Section 402(g) of the
Code ($10,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998).  Within certain limits,  as
defined in the Plan,  Savings  Participants  may elect to increase,  decrease or
suspend their Savings Contributions and corresponding salary deductions.

At the discretion of its Board of Directors,  the Company may make contributions
to the Plan for the benefit of Savings Participants ("Matching  Contributions").
Matching Contributions may be made by the Company in the form of a stated dollar
amount  or in the  form  of a  matching  percentage  of  Savings  Contributions.
Matching Contributions,  which are made to the Company Stock Fund, are allocated
to individual  Savings  Participants pro rata based on their respective  Savings
Contributions for the Plan year,  limited to 6% of their compensation as defined
by the  Plan  document.  The  Company  made  Matching  Contributions  to  active
participant  employee accounts equal to 100% of the first 3% contributed by each
individual  participant  and 50% of the second 3% contributed by each individual
participant for the years 1998 and 1997.

                                       5
<PAGE>

Total  Matching  Contributions  for the year ended  December  31, 1998 were $2.7
million.

At the  discretion of its Board of  Directors,  the Company may also make annual
contributions  to the Plan for the benefit of all  eligible  employees  ("Profit
Sharing  Contributions").  The Company may make Profit Sharing  Contributions in
either  cash  or  in  the  Company's   common  stock.   Annual  Profit   Sharing
Contributions are allocated to eligible  employees based on their  proportionate
compensation.  At December 31,  1998,  the Plan  recorded a receivable  from the
Company  in the  amount  of $8.3  million  related  to the 1998  Profit  Sharing
Contribution which was paid in February 1999.


The Plan limits the sum of a  participant's  annual Savings  Contributions,  and
Matching Contribution and Profit Sharing Contribution ("Company  Contributions")
to the lesser of $30,000 or 25% of the Plan  participant's  compensation.  Under
certain  circumstances,  Plan participants may make contributions to the Plan in
the form of rollover contributions ("Rollover Contributions").

Plan Administration
- -------------------

T. Rowe Price  serves as the  investment  manager for the Plan's  trust fund and
executes all investment actions.  Recordkeeping  responsibilities are maintained
by T. Rowe Price.  The assets held by the  Prudential  Insurance  Co. of America
Investment  Contract GA-6436,  ("Prudential")  are from a previously merged plan
and in  accordance  with the fund's  contract,  Prudential is  transferring  the
Guaranteed   Interest  Fund  to  T.  Rowe  Price  in  60   consecutive   monthly
installments.

Vesting
- -------

A Plan participant's  Matching  Contribution  account balance and Profit Sharing
Contribution  account  balance shall become vested and  nonforfeitable  upon the
completion of certain years of service with the Company or combined service with
Dual and the Company, as follows:

           Completed years of service         Vested percentage
           --------------------------         -----------------

           Less than two years                         0%
           Two years                                  20%
           Three years                                40%
           Four years                                 60%
           Five years                                 80%
           Six or more years                         100%

A Plan participant shall become fully vested in his or her Matching Contribution
account  balance  and  Profit  Sharing  account  balance  upon  certain  events,
including  death or  disability,  attaining  the age of 60, or a full or partial
termination  of the Plan.  A Plan  participant's  Savings  Contribution  account
balance and Rollover Contribution account balance is fully vested at all times.

Upon   completion  of  each  Plan  year,  the  nonvested   portion  of  Matching
Contribution  account balances and Profit Sharing  Contribution account balances
of terminated Plan  participants are forfeited  ("forfeitures")  to the Plan and
may be used to reduce the amount of Matching  Contributions  and Profit  Sharing
Contributions  due or  administrative  expenses  to be paid by the  Company.  At
December  31, 1998 and 1997,  the Plan had  forfeiture  balances of $442,088 and
$250,912,  respectively,  which were reported as Other Payables in the Statement
of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits.

                                       6

Distributions
- -------------

Distributions of a Plan participant's  Savings Contribution account and Rollover
Contribution  account  and  the  vested  portion  of  a  participant's  Matching
Contribution  account and Profit Sharing Contribution account are generally made
within 60 days of an  employee  request  due to  termination  of  employment  or
certain Internal Revenue Service  regulations.  At December 31, 1998, the Plan's
net assets included $98,486 for amounts allocated to the accounts of persons who
had elected to withdraw from the Plan but had not yet been paid. At December 31,
1997, all persons had been paid who elected to withdraw from the Plan.

Investments
- -----------

The Plan allows  participants  to invest among a number of different  investment
choices. The following are descriptions of the investment choices in the Plan:

          Company Stock Fund  -  The objective is to provide long-term growth of
          capital by investing in ENSCO International Incorporated common stock.

          Blended  Stable Value Fund - The objective is to provide  preservation
          of  principal  and a high level of monthly  income by  investing in an
          investment  contract  issued by an  insurance  company and the T. Rowe
          Price  Stable  Value  Common  Trust Fund which  invests in  investment
          contracts issued by insurance companies and banks.

          Balanced Fund - The objective is to provide  capital  growth,  current
          income and preservation of capital by investing through a portfolio of
          stocks and fixed income securities.

          Spectrum  Income  Fund - The  objective  is to provide a high level of
          current income with moderate share price fluctuation by investing in a
          managed mix of domestic bank funds, two  international  bond funds, an
          income-oriented stock fund and a money market fund.

          Spectrum Growth Fund - The objective is to provide  long-term  capital
          appreciation  and growth of income by  investing  in a managed  mix of
          domestic stock funds, an  international  stock fund and a money market
          fund.

Effective  April 1,  1999,  the Plan  increased  the  investment  choices to ten
investment  options to provide  participants  a broader  investment  range.  The
following are descriptions of the five new investment choices in the Plan:

          Blue Chip  Growth - The  objective  is to  provide  long-term  capital
          growth  by  investing  in large and  medium  sized  blue  chip  growth
          companies  that  are well  established  and  have  the  potential  for
          above-average growth in earnings.

          Equity  Income - The  objective  is to  provide  substantial  dividend
          income and long-term  capital  appreciation by investing in the common
          stocks of established companies that pay above-average dividends.

          Equity  Index  500  -   The  objective  is  to  match the total return
          performance of the S&P 500(R) by investing  in  all  500  stocks  that
          compose the S&P 500(R)Index.

                                       7
<PAGE>

          Mid-Cap  Growth  - The  objective  is  to  provide  long-term  capital
          appreciation by investing in mid-cap stocks offering the potential for
          above-average earnings growth.

          Small-Cap Stock - The objective is to provide long-term capital growth
          by investing in small to  medium-sized  companies that are believed by
          T.  Rowe  Price to  offer  superior  earnings  growth  or that  appear
          undervalued.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Method of Accounting
- --------------------

The Plan's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

The Plan's  investments are stated at fair value,  except for the Blended Stable
Value Fund which is stated at contract  value  (Note 3). The Plan's  investments
are principally  comprised of the Company's common stock,  mutual funds and debt
and equity securities. The fair value of the Plan's investments is determined by
T. Rowe Price and is based on quoted market prices.

Purchases and sales of securities and the Company's common stock are recorded on
a trade-date basis.  Interest is recorded on the accrual basis and dividends are
recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Plan presents in the  statement of changes in net assets  available for Plan
benefits  the  net  appreciation   (depreciation)  in  the  fair  value  of  its
investments  which  consists of the realized  gains or losses and the unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.

Distributions
- -------------

Distributions are recorded when paid.

Loans
- -----

Effective January 1, 1998, the Plan adopted a loan policy.  Generally,  approved
loans to eligible  participants  shall be granted from the participants'  vested
accounts  on a pro-rata  basis.  The  interest  rate is a fixed rate  determined
monthly. All loans must be secured with an irrevocable pledge assignment.

Pervasiveness of Estimates
- --------------------------

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,  and related revenues and
expenses,  and  disclosure  of gain  and loss  contingencies  at the date of the
financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications
- -----------------

Certain  previously  reported  amounts have been  reclassified to conform to the
1998 presentation.

3.  INVESTMENT CONTRACTS

The  Blended  Stable  Value Fund  invests in an  investment  contract  issued by
Prudential  and in a common  trust fund which  invests in  investment  contracts
issued by insurance  companies and banks. The Blended Stable Value Fund credited
participant  accounts at rates of interest ranging from 5.00% to 5.85% and 5.01%
to 8.41% on the  Prudential  investment  contract  and the T. Rowe Price  Stable
Value Common Trust Fund,  respectively,  during 1998.  The Blended  Stable Value
Fund  is  included  in  the  financial   statements  at  contract  value,  which
approximates  fair value.  Contract  value  represents  contributions  made plus
credited interest, less Plan withdrawals.

4.  PLAN INVESTMENTS

Plan  investments  that  represent  5% or  more of the  Plan's  net  assets  are
identified as follows:

                                                  ===========       ===========

In August 1997, the Company's  Board of Directors  approved a two-for-one  stock
split of the Company's common stock effective  September 15, 1997.  Accordingly,
all  references to common  shares have been adjusted to reflect the  two-for-one
stock split. At December 31, 1998, the Plan's investment in the Company's common
stock was based on the closing  price on that date of $10.69 per share.  The per
share price of the Company's common stock has  subsequently  increased to $20.50
at the close of  business  on June 18,  1999.  Like any  investment  in publicly
traded  securities,  the  Company's  common  stock is subject to price  changes.
During 1998, the high and low prices for the Company's  common stock were $33.56
and $8.68, respectively.

5.  ADMINISTRATIVE FEES

The Plan has no employees and the Company covers all administrative costs of the
Plan. The Company paid $80,759 and $71,859 for the  administrative  costs of the
Plan during 1998 and 1997, respectively.

6.  EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS

Net assets  available for Plan benefits at December 31, 1997 includes $40,467 of
amounts to be refunded from the Plan to certain highly compensated employees due
to contributions which exceeded the discrimination limits under the Code Section
401(k).   The  1997  excess   contributions   were  due  to  administering   the
anti-discrimination  tests for the 1995 and 1996 Plan years  again as allowed by
the Internal Revenue Service's  Administrative  Policy Regarding Self Correction
("APRSC"). These particular excess contributions were refunded to the applicable
highly compensated  employees in February 1998. At December 31, 1998, net assets
available  for Plan benefits did not include any amounts to be refunded from the
Plan attributable to excess contributions.

7.  TAX STATUS

Management  believes that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code
and  therefore  the  trust is exempt  from  taxation  under  Section  501(a).  A
favorable IRS determination letter dated September 21, 1995 was received for the
Plan. Generally, contributions to a qualified plan are deductible by the Company
when made,  earnings of the trust are tax exempt and  participants are not taxed
on their benefits until withdrawn from the Plan.
