Leasing revenues Revenue earned on the charter of the West Castor, West Telesto and West Tucana to Gulfdrill. Amortization of unfavorable contracts We recognize an intangible asset or liability if we acquire a drilling contract in a business combination and the contract had a dayrate that was above or below market rates at the time of the business combination. For the periods before emergence from the Previous Chapter 11 Proceedings and the application of fresh start accounting, we classified the amortization of these intangible assets or liabilities within other revenues. For the periods after emergence from the Previous Chapter 11 Proceedings and the application of fresh start accounting, we have applied a new accounting policy, which is to classify amortization of these intangible assets and liabilities within operating expenses. The unfavorable contract values in the Predecessor periods arose from our acquisition of Sevan Drilling Limited. Early termination fees The termination fee revenue in the year ended December 31, 2020 relates to the West Gemini, the year ended December 31, 2019 relates to the fees recognized for the West Jupiter and West Castor, and the period from January 1, 2018 through July 1, 2018 relates to the fees recognized for the West Pegasus.
