Noncontrolling Interest.
Noncontrolling interest	Note 13—Noncontrolling Interest Transocean Partners—At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we held 21.3 million common units and 27.6 million subordinated units of Transocean Partners and all of the incentive distribution rights.  The remaining publicly held common units represent the noncontrolling interest in Transocean Partners.  On November 4, 2015, Transocean Partners announced that its board of directors approved a unit repurchase program, authorizing it to repurchase for cancellation up to $40 million of its publicly held common units.  Subject to market conditions, Transocean Partners may repurchase units from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.  It may suspend or discontinue the program at any time.  The Merger Agreement restricts Transocean Partners’ ability to repurchase its common units without our consent, and no such repurchases have been made since entering into the agreement.  In the nine months ended September 30, 2016, Transocean Partners repurchased 386,876 of its publicly held common units for an aggregate purchase price of $3 million.  At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Transocean Partners had outstanding 19.7 million and 20.0 million publicly held common units, respectively.  At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the common and subordinated units held by us collectively represented a 71.3 percent and 70.9 percent, respectively, limited liability company interest in Transocean Partners. In the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, Transocean Partners declared and paid an aggregate distribution of $74 million to its unitholders, of which $21 million was paid to holders of noncontrolling interest. See Note 15—Subsequent Events. TDSOI—In June 2016, we served notice of our intent to exercise our option to call the 30 percent ownership interest in TDSOI held by our local partner.  In July 2016, we completed the repurchase of the noncontrolling interest for a cash payment of $2 million, and as a result, TDSOI became our wholly owned subsidiary.  In connection with the transaction, we recorded a capital allocation resulting in a $12 million increase to noncontrolling interest and a corresponding decrease to additional paid‑in capital.
