ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
                This Current Report on Form 8-K, dated February 8, 2008, is being filed to update the historical financial statements included in Nabors Industries Ltd. Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 to reflect that the Company’s Sea Mar business, previously reported as continuing operations and included in Other Operating Segments, has been sold and is now being reported as a discontinued operation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. During the third quarter of 2007, we sold 20 offshore supply vessels and certain related assets, including a right under a vessel construction contract. The operating results of the Sea Mar business were classified as a discontinued operation in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
               The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to report the impact of this reclassification as a discontinued operation on previously issued financial statements. This reclassification has no effect on the Company’s total net income as reported in the Company’s financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and has no effect on total assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity or the statements of cash flows. This permits the Company to incorporate these financial statements by reference in SEC filings and other offering documents not filed with the SEC.
               This reclassification of the Sea Mar business from continuing operations to discontinued operations is set forth below in the various sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. These sections have not otherwise been updated for events occurring after the filing date of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
