Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
We have operating leases relating to our premises, the most significant being our offices in London, Liverpool, Oslo, Stavanger, Singapore, Houston, Rio de Janeiro and Dubai. In accordance with Topic 842, we record a lease liability and associated right-of-use asset for our portfolio of operating leases.

We continue to lease three of our benign environment jack-up rigs, West Castor, West Telesto and West Tucana, to our joint venture, Gulfdrill, for a contract with GDI in Qatar.

In March, 2020, Seadrill was awarded a contract to provide drilling services for 10 firm wells and 4 optional wells. To fulfill this contract Seadrill entered a charter agreement to lease the West Bollsta rig from Northern Ocean. The rig was mobilized and commenced operations in early October, 2020 after being available at the drill location in September, 2020. This operating lease arrangement resulted in the recognition of a lease liability and offsetting right of use asset.

For operating leases where we are the lessee, our future undiscounted cash flows as at June 30, 2021 are as follows:
(In $ millions)Future cash flows
July 1 - December 31, 202122 
Year ended December 31, 202251 
Year ended December 31, 2023

Year ended December 31, 2025 and thereafter—
