               This  Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of Common
Stock, $0.125 par value per share (the "Shares"), of Rowan Companies,  Inc. (the
"Issuer").  This Amendment No. 3 supplementally  amends the initial statement on
Schedule 13D dated May 29, 1996 and all amendments  thereto  (collectively,  the
"Initial  Statement") filed by one of the Reporting Persons (as defined herein).
This  Amendment  No. 3 is being  filed by the  Reporting  Persons  to report the
transfer of the  investment  advisory  contract  between  Soros Fund  Management
("SFM") and Quantum Fund N.V., a Netherlands  Antilles company ("Quantum Fund"),
whose principal  operating  subsidiary is Quantum Partners LDC, a Cayman Islands
exempted limited duration company  ("Quantum  Partners"),  pursuant to which SFM
was granted  investment  discretion  over portfolio  investments,  including the
Shares,  held for the  account  of Quantum  Partners.  The  investment  advisory
contract has been transferred from SFM to Soros Fund Management LLC ("SFM LLC"),
a newly formed Delaware limited  liability  company.  Capitalized terms used but
not  defined  herein  shall have the  meanings  ascribed  to them in the Initial
Statement. The Initial Statement is supplementally amended as follows.

Item 2.        Identity and Background.

               This  statement is being filed by SFM LLC, Mr. George Soros ("Mr.
Soros"), Mr. Stanley F. Druckenmiller ("Mr. Druckenmiller") and Duquesne Capital
Management,  L.L.C., a Pennsylvania  limited liability company  ("Duquesne LLC,"
and  together  with SFM LLC,  Mr. Soros and Mr.  Druckenmiller,  the  "Reporting
Persons").  This  statement  relates to Shares held for the  accounts of Quantum
Partners,  Mr.  Soros,  Lupa Family  Partners,  a New York  limited  partnership
("Lupa"), and the Duquesne LLC Clients (as defined herein).

               Effective as of January 1, 1997,  SFM, a sole  proprietorship  of
which Mr. Soros is the sole  proprietor,  transferred  its  investment  advisory
contract with Quantum Fund to SFM LLC as part of a restructuring of the business
of SFM,  which will now be conducted  through SFM LLC. SFM LLC has its principal
office at 888  Seventh  Avenue,  33rd  Floor,  New  York,  New York  10106.  Its
principal  business  is  to  serve,  pursuant  to  contract,  as  the  principal
investment manager to several foreign investment  companies (the "SFM Clients"),
including  Quantum Fund and Quantum  Partners.  Each of Quantum Fund and Quantum
Partners has its  principal  office at Kaya  Flamboyan 9,  Willemstad,  Curacao,
Netherlands  Antilles.  SFM LLC's contracts with SFM Clients  generally  provide
that SFM LLC is  responsible  for  designing and  implementing  the SFM Clients'
overall  investment   strategy;   for  conducting  direct  portfolio  management
strategies  to the extent  that SFM LLC  determines  that it is  appropriate  to
utilize its own portfolio management capabilities; for selecting, evaluating and
monitoring other investment advisors who manage separate portfolios on behalf of
SFM Clients;  and for allocating and  reallocating the SFM Clients' assets among
the outside managers and itself.

               The business of SFM LLC is managed through a Management Committee
(the "Management  Committee")  comprised of Mr. Soros, Mr. Druckenmiller and Mr.
Gary Gladstein. Mr. Soros, as Chairman of SFM LLC, has the ability to direct the
investment  decisions  of SFM LLC and as such may be deemed  to have  investment
discretion  over the  securities  held for the accounts of the SFM Clients.  Mr.
Druckenmiller,  as Lead Portfolio  Manager of SFM LLC, has the ability to direct
the investment decisions of SFM LLC and as such may be deemed to have investment
discretion  over the  securities  held for the accounts of the SFM Clients.  Set
forth in Annex A hereto and incorporated by reference in response to this Item 2
and  elsewhere  in this  Schedule  13D as  applicable  is a list of the Managing
Directors of SFM LLC.

               The principal  occupation of Mr. Soros, a United States  citizen,
is his  direction  of the  activities  of SFM LLC,  which is carried  out in his
capacity as Chairman of SFM LLC at SFM LLC's principal office.

               Lupa  is  primarily  engaged  in  securities  investment.  In his
capacity  as one  of two  general  partners,  Mr.  Soros  exercises  voting  and
dispositive  power with respect to securities  held for the account of Lupa. The
other general partner of Lupa is Mr. Paul Soros,  Mr. Soros'  brother,  who does
not normally  exercise voting or dispositive  power over the investments held by
Lupa.  Paul  Soros is a United  States  citizen  who is the  founder  and former
president of Soros Associates, an international engineering firm. Paul Soros has
his  principal  office at 888 Seventh  Avenue,  32nd Floor,  New York,  New York
10106.

               The principal  occupation of Mr.  Druckenmiller,  a United States
citizen,  is  his  position  as  Lead  Portfolio  Manager  and a  member  of the
Management  Committee  of SFM LLC,  which is carried out at SFM LLC's  principal
office. Mr.  Druckenmiller also owns a 75% interest in, and is the sole managing
member of,  Duquesne  LLC, an  investment  advisory  firm.  Duquesne LLC has its
principal offices at 2579 Washington Road, Suite 322,  Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania
15241-2591.  Its  principal  business is to serve,  pursuant to  contract,  as a
discretionary  investment  advisor to a limited number of institutional  clients
(the "Duquesne LLC Clients").

               Pursuant to  regulations  promulgated  under Section 13(d) of the
Act,  SFM LLC,  Mr.  Soros,  in his  capacity as  Chairman  of SFM LLC,  and Mr.
Druckenmiller, in his capacity as Lead Portfolio Manager of SFM LLC, each may be
deemed a beneficial  owner of  securities,  including  the Shares,  held for the
account of Quantum Partners as a result of the contractual  authority of SFM LLC
to exercise voting and dispositive  power with respect to such  securities.  Mr.
Soros,  by reason of his position as the general  partner of Lupa who  exercises
voting and  dispositive  power over the securities held for the account of Lupa,
may be deemed the beneficial owner of securities, including the Shares, held for
the account of Lupa.

               Pursuant to  regulations  promulgated  under Section 13(d) of the
Act,  Mr.  Druckenmiller,  by virtue of his  interest  in, and  position as sole
managing  member  of,  Duquesne  LLC,  may  be  deemed  a  beneficial  owner  of
securities,  including  the Shares,  held for the  account of Duquesne  LLC as a
result of the  contractual  authority  of Duquesne  LLC to  exercise  voting and
dispositive power with respect to such securities.

               During  the  past  five  years,  none of the  Reporting  Persons,
Quantum Partners, Lupa and, to the best of the Reporting Persons' knowledge, any
other person  identified  in response to this Item 2 has been (a) convicted in a
criminal proceeding, or (b) a party to any civil proceeding as a result of which
he has been  subject  to a  judgment,  decree or final  order  enjoining  future
violations  of, or prohibiting  or mandating  activities  subject to, federal or
state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.        Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

               Duquesne LLC  expended  approximately  $2,600,822  of its working
capital to purchase the Shares reported herein as being acquired within the last
60 days

               The securities held for the accounts of Quantum  Partners,  other

required  to  open  or  carry  positions  in its  margin  accounts,  subject  to
applicable  federal  margin  regulations,  stock  exchange rules and such firm's
credit  policies.  The  positions  which  may be  held in the  margin  accounts,
including the Shares,  are pledged as  collateral  security for the repayment of
debit balances in the respective accounts.
