Discontinued Operations
    
During 2014, management committed to a plan to sell six floaters and two jackups. ENSCO 5000, ENSCO 5001, ENSCO 5002, ENSCO 6000, ENSCO 7500, ENSCO DS-2, ENSCO 58 and ENSCO 90 were removed from our portfolio of rigs marketed for contract drilling services. These rigs were written down to fair value, less costs to sell. We measured the fair value of these rigs by applying a market approach, which was based on unobservable third-party estimated prices that would be received in exchange for the assets in an orderly transaction between market participants. The operating results from these rigs were included in loss from discontinued operations, net in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

In December 2014, we completed the sale of ENSCO 5000 for net proceeds of $1.3 million. The remaining rigs are being actively marketed and were classified as "held for sale" on our March 31, 2015 condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In September 2014, we sold ENSCO 93, a jackup contracted to Pemex. In connection with the sale, we executed a charter agreement with the purchaser to continue operating the rig for the remainder of the Pemex contract, which we expect to end prior to September 30, 2015. As a result, ENSCO 93 operating results were included in loss from discontinued operations, net in our condensed consolidated statement of income for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

In April 2014, we sold ENSCO 85 for net proceeds of $64.4 million. The rig's operating results were included in loss from discontinued operations, net in our condensed consolidated statement of income for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we sold ENSCO 69 and Pride Wisconsin for net proceeds of $32.2 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of $23.6 million. The gain on sale and operating results were included in loss from discontinued operations, net in our condensed consolidated statement of income for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The net proceeds from the sale were received in December 2013 and included in investing activities of discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2013.
