Xcite declared that the Rowan Norway deep water jackup rig, scheduled for use on the Company's Bentley field, has now been delivered by the Keppel FELS shipyard in Singapore to Rowan Companies, Inc.

The rig will now be transported to Dundee using the OHT Hawk heavy lift vessel, where it will undergo final testing and will be crewed and equipped for its deployment onto the Bentley field.

Preparations for the submission to the Department of Energy and Climate Change of a Field Development Plan for the Bentley field remain on track and are consistent with the rig deployment timing.
