NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

General

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Weatherford International Ltd. (the "Company") are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2013, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. When referring to "Weatherford" and using phrases such as "we", "us", and "our", the intent is to refer to Weatherford International Ltd., a Swiss joint-stock company, and its subsidiaries as a whole or on a regional basis, depending on the context in which the statements are made.

Although we believe the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the interim information presented not misleading, certain information relating to our organization and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those related to uncollectible accounts receivable, lower of cost or market of inventories, equity investments, intangible assets and goodwill, property, plant and equipment, income taxes, percentage-of-completion accounting for long-term contracts, self-insurance, pension and post retirement benefit plans, contingencies and share-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

We consolidate all wholly-owned subsidiaries, controlled joint ventures and variable interest entities where the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary. Investments in affiliates in which we exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2.	Business Combinations and Dispositions

We have acquired businesses we feel are important to our long-term strategy. Results of operations for acquisitions are included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition. The balances included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to recent acquisitions are based on preliminary information and are subject to change when final asset valuations are obtained and potential liabilities have been evaluated. The purchase price is allocated to the net assets acquired based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we acquired businesses and equity investments for cash consideration of $7 million, net of cash acquired.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we completed the sale of our industrial screen business for proceeds totaling $135 million. Proceeds consisted of $100 million in cash and a $35 million receivable. Through our industrial screen operations, we delivered screen technologies used in numerous industries and, as a result, the screen business was not closely aligned with our goals as a leading provider of equipment and services used in the drilling, evaluation, completion, production and intervention of oil and natural gas wells. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 we recognized gains of $2 million and $8 million resulting from the industrial screen transactions. The major classes of assets sold in these transactions included $54 million in Cash, $36 million of Accounts Receivable, $37 million of Inventory, $92 million of other assets primarily comprised of Property, Plant and Equipment, Other Intangible Assets and Goodwill. Liabilities of $69 million were also transferred in the sale, of which $60 million were Current Liabilities.

(UNAUDITED)

In 2012, we acquired a company that designs and produces well completion tools. As part of the purchase consideration, we entered into a contingent consideration arrangement valued at approximately $10 million at June 30, 2013 that will be settled in early 2015. This contingent consideration arrangement is dependent on the acquired company's 2014 results of operations. This obligation will be marked to market through current earnings in each reporting period prior to settlement and the liability is valued using a Monte Carlo simulation and Level 3 inputs.

3.	Accounts Receivable Factoring

In 2010, we entered into a factoring program to sell certain accounts receivable in Mexico to third party financial institutions. In the six months ended June 30, 2013, we sold approximately $83 million under the program, received cash totaling $80 million and recognized a loss of approximately $1 million on these sales. In the six months ended June 30, 2012, we sold approximately $51 million under the program, initially received cash totaling $47 million and ultimately collected amounts that resulted in a loss of less than $1 million on these sales. These sales occurred in the first quarter of 2013 and 2012 and no factoring occurred in the second quarter periods. In each of the years since 2010, our factoring transactions qualified for sale accounting under the accounting standards and proceeds are included in operating cash flows in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

4. Inventories

The components of inventory were as follows:

	June 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
	(In millions)

Raw materials, components and supplies	$	452	$	461
Work in process		147		166
Finished goods		3,038		3,048
	$	3,637	$	3,675

Work in process and finished goods inventories include cost of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead.

5. Goodwill

We perform an impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually as of October 1, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. Our goodwill impairment test involves a comparison of the fair value of each of our reporting units with its carrying amount. Fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows and a discount rate based on the weighted average cost of capital of the reporting unit. Our reporting units are based on our regional structure and consist of the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, Sub-Sahara Africa ("SSA"), Russia, Middle East/North Africa ("MENA") and Asia Pacific ("AP").

Table of Contents

WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

The fair value of all our reporting units was in excess of their carrying value as of our October 1, 2012 annual impairment test. The fair value of our Latin America reporting unit was closest to its carrying value and was 16% in excess of its carrying value at October 1, 2012.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment for the six months ended June 30, 2013, were as follows:

	North America			MENA/ Asia Pacific			Europe/ SSA/ Russia			Latin America			Total

6. Short-term Borrowings and Current Portion of Long-term Debt

The components of short-term borrowings were as follows:

	June 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
	(In millions)

Commercial paper	$	840	$	888
Revolving credit facility		525		—

Other short-term bank loans		167		109
Total short-term borrowings		1,832		997
Current portion of long-term debt		316		588
Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt	$	2,148	$	1,585

We maintain a $2.25 billion unsecured, revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement has a scheduled maturity date of July 13, 2016, and can be used for a combination of borrowings, support for our commercial paper program and issuances of letters of credit. This agreement requires us to maintain a debt-to-capitalization ratio of less than 60%. We are in compliance with this covenant at June 30, 2013. At June 30, 2013, our borrowings under our commercial paper program had a weighted average interest rate of 1.04% and there were $121 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement.

On May 1, 2013, we entered into a $300 million, 364-day, term loan facility with a syndicate of banks. The facility was fully drawn on May 1, 2013 and will mature on April 30, 2014. The terms and conditions of the facility are substantially similar to our $2.25 billion revolving credit agreement. The facility is used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of other credit facility borrowings and the reduction of outstanding commercial paper.

(UNAUDITED)

We also have short-term borrowings with various domestic and international institutions pursuant to uncommitted facilities. At June 30, 2013, we had $167 million in short-term borrowings under these arrangements with a weighted average interest rate of 5.05%. In addition, we had $524 million of letters of credit under various uncommitted facilities and $265 million of performance bonds issued by financial sureties against an indemnification from us at June 30, 2013.

The carrying value of our short-term borrowings approximates their fair value as of June 30, 2013. The current portion of long-term debt at June 30, 2013 includes $250 million of 4.95% Senior Notes due October 2013 and other debt maturing in 2013 totaling $66 million.

7.	Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments Measured and Recognized at Fair Value

We estimate fair value at a price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market for the asset or liability. Our valuation techniques require inputs that we categorize using a three level hierarchy, from highest to lowest level of observable inputs. Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices or other market data for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based upon our own judgment and assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. Classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Other than the contingent consideration discussed in Note 2 and our derivative instruments discussed in Note 8, we had no assets or liabilities measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

Our other financial instruments include short-term borrowings and long-term debt. The carrying value of our commercial paper and other short-term borrowings approximates their fair value due to the short-term duration of the associated interest rate periods. These short-term borrowings are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of our long-term debt fluctuates with changes in applicable interest rates. Fair value will exceed carrying value when the current market interest rate is lower than the interest rate at which the debt was originally issued. The fair value of our long-term debt is a measure of its current value under present market conditions and is established based on observable inputs in non-active markets. Our long-term debt is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value and carrying value of our Senior Notes were as follows:

	June 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
	(In millions)

Fair value	$	7,619	$	8,368
Carrying value		7,058		7,355

8.	Derivative Instruments

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency and changes in interest rates. From time to time, we may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions to manage or reduce our market risk. We manage our debt portfolio to achieve an overall desired position of fixed and floating rates and we may employ interest rate swaps as a tool to achieve that goal. The major risks from interest rate derivatives include changes in the interest rates affecting the fair value of such instruments, potential increases in interest expense due to market increases in floating interest rates and the creditworthiness of the counterparties in such transactions. In light of events in the global credit markets and the potential impact of these events on the liquidity of the banking industry, we continue to monitor the creditworthiness of our counterparties, which are multinational commercial banks.

The fair values of all our outstanding derivative instruments are determined using a model with Level 2 inputs including quoted market prices for contracts with similar terms and maturity dates.

(UNAUDITED)

Fair Value Hedges

We may use interest rate swaps to help mitigate exposures related to changes in the fair values of our debt. Amounts paid or received upon termination of interest rate swaps accounted for as fair value hedges represent the fair value of the agreements at the time of termination and are recorded as an adjustment to the carrying value of the related debt. These amounts are amortized as a reduction, in the case of gains, or as an increase, in the case of losses, of interest expense over the remaining term of the debt. As of June 30, 2013, we had net unamortized gains of $47 million associated with interest rate swap terminations. These gains are being amortized over the remaining term of the originally hedged debt as a reduction in interest expense.

Cash Flow Hedges

We entered into interest rate derivative instruments to hedge projected exposures to interest rates in anticipation of a debt offering in 2008. Those hedges were terminated at the time of the issuance of the debt, and the loss on these hedges is being amortized from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) into interest expense over the remaining term of the debt. As of June 30, 2013, we had net unamortized losses of $11 million associated with our cash flow hedge terminations.

Other Derivative Instruments

As of June 30, 2013, we had foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts aggregating to $934 million. These contracts were entered into to hedge exposure to currency fluctuations in various foreign currencies. The total estimated fair value of these contracts, and amounts receivable or owed associated with closed contracts, resulted in a net asset of approximately $26 million. These derivative instruments were not designated as hedges and the changes in fair value of the contracts are recorded each period in Other, Net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We have cross-currency swaps between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar to hedge certain exposures to the Canadian dollar. At June 30, 2013, we had notional amounts outstanding of $168 million. The total estimated fair value of these contracts at June 30, 2013, resulted in a liability of $23 million. These derivative instruments were not designated as hedges and the changes in fair value of the contracts are recorded each period in Other, Net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The fair values of outstanding derivative instruments are summarized as follows:

	June 30, 2013			December 31, 2012			Classifications
	(In millions)

Derivative assets not designated as hedges:
Foreign currency forward contracts	$	37		$	5		Other Current Assets

Derivative liabilities not designated as hedges:
Foreign currency forward contracts		(11	)		(20	)	Other Current Liabilities
Cross-currency swap contracts		(23	)		(34	)	Other Liabilities

9.	Income Tax

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we had a tax provision of $20 million and $25 million on pre-tax losses of $91 million and $56 million. Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 is (22)% and (44)% respectively. Our loss before taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 includes $153 million charge for the potential settlement of the oil-for-food and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act matters with no tax benefit. Our tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2013 includes one-time tax benefits mostly due to tax restructuring benefits, decreases in reserves for uncertain tax positions due to statute of limitation expiration and audit settlements, and return to accrual adjustments, which decreased our effective tax rate for the period. Our provision for the six months ended June 30, 2013, in addition to items above, also includes one-time tax benefits due to the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar, and enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act, which decreased our effective tax rate for the period.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we had a tax provision of $63 million and $173 million on pre-tax losses of $780 million and $540 million. Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was (8)% and (32)% respectively. Our loss before taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, includes a $589 million charge for the impairment of goodwill, substantially all of which was non-deductible.

As of June 30, 2013, there was $28 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to our performance units. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of two years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we also granted 3.8 million restricted share awards at a weighted average grant date fair value of $12.99 per share. As of June 30, 2013, there was $82 million of unrecognized compensation related to our unvested restricted share grants. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of two years.

14. Disputes, Litigation and Contingencies

U.S. Government and Internal Investigations

We are currently involved in government and internal investigations.

The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry & Security, Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"), Department of Justice ("DOJ") and SEC have undertaken investigations of allegations of improper sales of products and services by the Company and its subsidiaries in certain sanctioned countries. We have cooperated fully with these investigations and we have retained legal counsel, reporting directly to our Audit Committee, to investigate these matters.

In light of these investigations, the U.S. and foreign policy environment and the inherent uncertainties surrounding these countries, we decided in September 2007 to direct our foreign subsidiaries to discontinue doing business in countries that are subject to comprehensive U.S. economic and trade sanctions, specifically Cuba, Iran and Sudan, as well as Syria. Effective September 2007, we ceased entering into any new contracts in these countries and began an orderly discontinuation and winding down of our existing business in these sanctioned countries.

Effective March 31, 2008, we substantially completed our winding down of business in these countries and conducted further withdrawal activities, pursuant to the licenses issued by OFAC, which have now ceased. Certain of our subsidiaries continue to conduct business in countries such as Myanmar which was subject to more limited U.S. trading sanctions until 2012.

We have been in negotiations with the government agencies to resolve the investigation into alleged violations of the trade sanctions laws for more than two years, and these negotiations have advanced significantly. During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the negotiations progressed to a point where we recognized a liability for a loss contingency that we believe is probable and for which a reasonable estimate can be made. The Company estimates that the most likely amount of this loss is $100 million and recognized a loss contingency equal to such amount in the quarter ended June 30, 2012, although the actual amount could be greater or less, and the timing of the payment cannot yet be determined. However, uncertainties remain and therefore an exposure to loss could be greater or less than the amount accrued, pending the ultimate resolution of the investigation, and we may not ultimately reach a final settlement with the government. As with any potential resolution, the government may seek to impose modifications to business practices, that decrease our business and modifications to the Company's compliance programs, which may increase compliance costs. There can be no assurance that actual fines or penalties, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

Until 2003, we participated in the United Nations oil-for-food program governing sales of goods and services into Iraq. The DOJ and SEC have undertaken investigations of our participation in the oil-for-food program and have subpoenaed certain documents in connection with these investigations. We have cooperated fully with these investigations. We have retained legal counsel, reporting to our Audit Committee, to investigate this matter.

The DOJ and SEC are also investigating our compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") and other laws worldwide. We have retained legal counsel, reporting to our Audit Committee, to investigate these matters and we are cooperating fully with the DOJ and SEC. As part of our internal investigations, we have uncovered potential violations of U.S. law in connection with activities in several jurisdictions. We have been in frequent negotiations with the government agencies to resolve these matters and these negotiations have advanced significantly.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, negotiations related to the oil-for-food and FCPA matters progressed to a point where we recognized a liability for a loss contingency that we believe is probable and for which a reasonable estimate can be made. Certain significant issues remain unresolved in the negotiations and, if these issues are not resolved to the Company's satisfaction, negotiations may be discontinued and such unresolved issues may ultimately impact our ability to reach a negotiated resolution of the matters. At this time, the Company estimates that the most likely amount of this loss is $153 million. However, uncertainties remain, and therefore an exposure to loss may exist in excess of the amount accrued pending the ultimate resolution of the investigations, and/or we may not ultimately reach final settlement of these matters with the government agencies, and/or we may not obtain court approval of any potential settlement agreement reached with the government, which would be required for final resolution. Any final settlement may contain other features, including: (1) an agreement under which criminal prosecution for the Company would be deferred for three years, but which would be accompanied by a plea agreement imposing a potential criminal conviction on one of the Company's subsidiaries; (2) a requirement to retain, for a period expected to be 18 months, an independent monitor responsible to assess the Company's compliance with the terms of any agreement that may be reached, to be followed by a period of the Company evaluating its own compliance

program and making periodic reports to the DOJ and SEC thereon; and (3) a requirement to maintain compliance monitoring and reporting systems meeting certain criteria to be established in the agreement. The above sentence is not meant to be an exhaustive listing of the non-monetary terms that may be imposed by any potential settlement, and such additional terms may be more or less onerous than those listed above. The Company recognized a $153 million loss contingency in the quarter ended June 30, 2013 for the potential settlement of the oil-for-food and FCPA matters.

The DOJ, SEC and other agencies and authorities have a broad range of civil and criminal penalties they may seek to impose against corporations and individuals for violations of trade sanctions laws, the FCPA and other federal statutes including, but not limited to, injunctive relief, disgorgement, fines, penalties and modifications to business practices and compliance programs. In recent years, these agencies and authorities have entered into agreements with, and obtained a range of penalties against, several corporations and individuals in similar investigations, under which civil and criminal penalties were imposed, including in some cases fines and other penalties and sanctions in the tens and hundreds of millions of dollars. Any injunctive relief, disgorgement, fines, penalties, sanctions or imposed modifications to business practices resulting from these investigations could adversely affect our results of operations, and the cost of our investigations have been significant.

To the extent we violated trade sanctions laws, the FCPA, or other laws or regulations, fines and other penalties may be imposed. Because these matters are now pending before the indicated agencies, there is some uncertainty as to the ultimate amount of any penalties we may pay. There can be no assurance that actual fines or penalties, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

The SEC and DOJ are investigating the circumstances surrounding the material weakness in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting for income taxes that was disclosed on Forms 8-K and 12b-25 on March 1, 2011, February 21, 2012 and July 24, 2012, respectively, and the subsequent restatements of our historical financial statements. In addition, the SIX Sanction Commission has received an application from the SIX (Swiss) Exchange Regulation regarding sanctions for similar internal controls and restatement matters. We are cooperating fully with these investigations.

Shareholder Litigation

In 2010, shareholders filed suit in Weatherford's name against those directors in place before June 2010 and certain current and former members of management relating to the U.S. government and internal investigations disclosed above and in our SEC filings since 2007. Separately, in 2011 and 2012, shareholders filed suit relating to the material weakness in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting for income taxes that was disclosed on the Forms 8-K and 12b-25 filed on March 1, 2011, February 21, 2012 and July 24, 2012, and the related restatement of historical financial statements. These suits name the Company as well as current and former members of management and our directors. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these claims.

Other Disputes

Our former Senior Vice President and General Counsel (the "Executive") left the Company in June 2009. The Executive had employment agreements with us that terminated on his departure. There is currently a dispute between the Executive and us as to the amount of compensation we are obligated to pay under these employment agreements based on the Executive's separation. This dispute has not resulted in a lawsuit being filed. It is our belief that an unfavorable outcome regarding this dispute is not probable, and as such, we have not accrued for $9 million of the Executive's claimed severance and other benefits.

Additionally, we are aware of various disputes and potential claims and are a party in various litigation involving claims against us, some of which are covered by insurance. For claims, disputes and pending litigation in which we believe a negative outcome is probable and a loss can be reasonably estimated, we have recorded a liability for the expected loss. These liabilities are immaterial to our financial condition and results of operations. In addition we have certain claims, disputes and pending litigation in which we do not believe a negative outcome is probable or for which we can only estimate a range of liability. If one or more negative outcomes were to occur relative to these matters, we do not believe that the impact to our financial condition would be material.

15.	New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the FASB issued new guidance allowing entities to use a qualitative approach to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The guidance permits an entity to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset with its carrying value. Otherwise, the quantitative impairment test is not required. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after September 15, 2012. We did not utilize this option in 2012 or in the first six months of 2013.

In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance intended to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This guidance is effective for us in our second quarter of 2013. Please see Note 10 — Shareholders' Equity, which presents the reclassifications out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") begins with an executive level overview, which provides a general description of our company today, a synopsis of industry market trends, insight into management's perspective of the opportunities and challenges we face and our outlook for the remainder of 2013. Next, we analyze the results of our operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, including the trends in our business and review our liquidity and capital resources. We conclude with a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates and a summary of recently issued accounting pronouncements. The "Company," "we," "us" and "our" refer to Weatherford International Ltd., a Swiss joint-stock corporation and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included with this report and our financial statements and related MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our discussion includes various forward-looking statements about our markets, the demand for our products and services and our future results. These statements are based on certain assumptions we consider reasonable. For information about these assumptions, you should refer to the section entitled "Forward-Looking Statements."

Overview

General

Our principal business is to provide equipment and services to the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry both on land and offshore, through our product and service line groups, Formation Evaluation and Well Construction and Completion and Production.

-	Formation Evaluation and Well Construction includes Drilling Services, Well Construction, Integrated Drilling, Wireline and Evaluation Services, Drilling Tools and Re-entry and Fishing.

-	Completion and Production includes Artificial Lift Systems, Stimulation and Chemicals, Completion Systems and Pipeline and Specialty Services.

We may sell our products and services separately or may bundle them together to provide integrated solutions, up to and including integrated well construction where we are responsible for the entire process of drilling, constructing and completing a well. Our customers include both exploration and production companies and other oilfield service companies. Depending on the service line, customer and location, our contracts vary in their terms, provisions and indemnities. We earn revenues under our contracts when products and services are delivered. Typically, we provide products and services at a well site where our personnel and equipment may be located together with personnel and equipment of our customer and third parties, such as other service providers.

We conduct operations in over 100 countries and have service and sales locations in nearly all of the oil and natural gas producing regions in the world. Our operational performance is reviewed on a geographic basis and we report the following regions as separate, distinct reporting segments: (1) North America; (2) Latin America; (3) Europe/Sub-Sahara Africa ("SSA")/Russia; and (4) Middle East/North Africa ("MENA")/Asia Pacific.

Industry Trends

Changes in the current price and expected future prices of oil and natural gas influence the level of energy industry spending. Changes in expenditures result in an increased or decreased demand for our products and services. Rig count is an indicator of the level of spending for the exploration for and production of oil and natural gas reserves. The following chart sets forth certain statistics that reflect historical market conditions:

	WTI Oil (a)		Henry Hub Gas (b)		North American Rig Count (c)		International Rig Count (c)

June 30, 2013	$	96.56	$	3.57		1,918		1,306
December 31, 2012		91.82		3.35		2,178		1,260
June 30, 2012		84.96		2.82		2,148		1,230

(a)	Price per barrel of West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") crude oil of the date indicated at Cushing Oklahoma – Source: Thomson Reuters

(b)	Price per MM/BTU as of the date indicated at Henry Hub Louisiana – Source: Thomson Reuters

(c)	Average rig count for the period indicated – Source: Baker Hughes Rig Count

Oil prices increased during the first six months of 2013, ranging from a low of $86.68 per barrel in mid April to a high of $98.44 per barrel in mid June. Natural gas prices increased during the first six months of 2013 and ranged from a high of $4.41 MM/BTU in mid April to a low of $3.11 MM/BTU in early January. Factors influencing oil and natural gas prices during the period include hydrocarbon inventory levels, realized and expected economic growth, realized and expected levels of hydrocarbon demand, levels of spare production capacity within the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC"), weather and geopolitical uncertainty.

Outlook

We believe the long-term outlook for our businesses is favorable. As well production decline rates accelerate and reservoir productivity complexities increase, our clients will continue to face growing challenges securing desired rates of production growth. These challenges increase our customers' requirements for technologies that improve productivity and efficiency and increase demand for our products and services. These phenomena provide us with a positive outlook over the longer term.

The level of improvement in our businesses for the remainder of 2013 will continue to depend heavily on pricing and volume increases, our control of costs and our ability to further penetrate existing markets with our younger technologies, as well as to successfully introduce these technologies to new markets.

We believe that 2013 has been and will continue to be a positive year for both our North American and international operations. We expect steady improvements in North America with some gains, both top-line and margin. Internationally, forecasts for Latin America show a very strong year and Europe/SSA/Russia and Asia Pacific are all expected to have solid growth and positive margin improvements. MENA should regain its status as a positive contributor. We expect our artificial lift systems product line to have steady volume growth into 2013. Pricing increases for artificial lift systems are expected to flatten in North America, but increase in the international markets.

Revenues

The following chart contains consolidated revenue percentages by product line for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012

Formation Evaluation and Well Construction		61	%		55	%		60	%		56	%
Completion and Production		39	%		45	%		40	%		44	%
		100	%		100	%		100	%		100	%

Consolidated revenues increased $121 million, or 3%, in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the second quarter of 2012. This increase outpaced the 5% decrease in average total rig count over the comparable period due to a 11% decrease in the North American rig count. International revenues increased $255 million, or 12%, in the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the second quarter of 2012. Our international drilling services, well construction, drilling tools and fishing and re-entry product line activities were the strongest contributors to the increase over the year-ago period. Revenue in our North American segment decreased $134 million, or 8%, in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the same quarter of the prior year largely due to a decline in our stimulation and chemicals product line in the US, as well as a decline driven by the phased sale of our industrial screen business in the first and second quarter of 2013.

Table of Contents

Consolidated revenues increased $367 million, or 5%, in the first six months of 2013 as compared to the first six months of 2012, mostly driven by an increase in international revenues of $563 million, or 14%, in the first six months of 2013, as compared to the first six months of 2012. Consistent with the quarterly periods, our international drilling services, well construction, drilling tools and fishing and re-entry product line activities were the strongest contributors to the increase over the year-ago period. Revenue in our North American segment decreased $196 million, or 6%, in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the same quarter of the prior year, largely due to a decline in our stimulation and chemicals product line in the US as well as a decline in our industrial screens product due to the sale of our industrial screen business units in the first and second quarter of 2013.

Operating Income

Consolidated operating income increased $687 million or 109%, in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the second quarter of 2012. During the second quarter of 2013, we recorded a $153 million accrual for a loss contingency related to US government investigations related to Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and oil-for-food matters. During the second quarter of 2012, we recorded impairment charges of $793 million related to goodwill and equity investments and recorded a $100 million accrual for a loss contingency related to US government investigations related to sanctioned country matters. Our operating segments' contribution declined $1 million compared to the second quarter of 2012. Corporate, Research and Development and Other Expenses increased $1 million as compared to the second quarter of 2012.

Other items for the six months ended June 30, 2013 includes an $8 million gain related to the sale of our industrial screen business, income tax restatement and material weakness remediation expenses of $27 million and severance, exit and other charges of $73 million, including $44 million of severance and $16 million in legal and professional fees incurred in conjunction with our on-going government investigations.

Other items for the six months ended June 30, 2012 include $53 million for severance, exit and other costs, income tax restatement and material weakness remediation expenses of $25 million and an offsetting gain of $28 million related to the sale of our subsea controls business.

Devaluation of Venezuelan Bolivar

In February 2013, the Venezuelan government announced its intention to devalue its currency and move to a two tier exchange structure. The official exchange moved from 4.30 per dollar to 6.30 per dollar for all goods and services. In connection with this devaluation, we incurred a charge of $100 million in the first quarter of 2013 for the remeasurement of our net monetary assets denominated in Venezuelan bolivars at the date of the devaluation.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest Expense, Net increased $7 million, or 6% in the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same period of the prior year, due to increases in overall indebtedness.

Income Taxes

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we had a tax provision of $63 million and $173 million on pre-tax losses of $780 million and $540 million. Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was (8) % and (32)% respectively. Our loss before taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, includes a $589 million charge for the impairment of goodwill, substantially all of which was non-deductible.

Segment Results

North America

North American revenues decreased $134 million, or 8%, in the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the second quarter of 2012 and $196 million, or 6%, during the six month period ended June 30, 2013. This decrease was outpaced by the 11% decrease in average North American rig count over the three and six month periods. The decline was primarily in our drilling service and stimulation and chemical product line, as well as a decline in our industrial screens product due to the sale of our industrial screen business units in the first and second quarter of 2013. These declines were partially offset by an increase in revenues from our well construction product line in the U.S.

Operating income decreased $59 million, or 26%, in the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the second quarter of the prior year. Operating margins were 10.9% in the second quarter of 2013 and 13.6% in the second quarter of 2012. Declines in operating margin are primarily attributable to stimulation and chemicals margin declines due to price reductions and higher fixed costs, as well as lower gross profit in drilling services mostly driven by a decline in activity. Operating margins were 12.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 17.1% for the first six months of 2012. These margin declines were partially offset by increases in artificial lift operating margins.

In 2012, the carrying value our guar inventory, a component of certain drilling fluids, was adjusted to the lower of cost or market. In the first six months of 2013, we sold $24 million of our guar inventory, which was our entire guar inventory adjusted to market value in 2012, at a zero margin.

MENA/Asia Pacific

MENA/Asia Pacific revenues increased $270 million, or 42%, in the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the second quarter of 2012 and $460 million or 37% during the first six months of 2013, as compared to the same period of the prior year. Increased activity for our drilling services, well construction, and artificial lift product lines contributed to the increase in revenue. Operating income increased $83 million, or 218%, during the second quarter of 2013, compared to the same quarter of the prior year and $103 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period of the prior year. The 2013 increase in operating income is primarily due to improved margins in drilling services due to the prior year losses on percentage of completion contracts in Iraq. These losses totaled $62 million and $93 million in the three and six month period ended June 30, 2012.

Europe/SSA/Russia

Revenues in our Europe/SSA/Russia segment increased $28 million, or 4%, in the second quarter of 2013, compared to the same quarter of the prior year and $90 million, or 7%, in the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in the prior year. The region realized strong performances primarily in Russia from our drilling services and integrated drilling product lines in the current quarter as compared to the same period of the prior year.

Operating income decreased $19 million, or 19%, in the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same quarter of 2012 and $20 million or 12% during the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in the prior year. Operating margins were 12.2% in the second quarter of 2013 and 15.6% in the second quarter of 2012. Operating margins were 11.3 % in the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 13.7% for the first six months of 2012. The decrease in operating income and margins was due to increased costs in Russia, relative to the prior year quarter related to integrated drilling, and completion.

Latin America

Revenues in our Latin America segment decreased $43 million, or 6%, in the second quarter of 2013, as compared to the same quarter of the prior year largely due to declining activity for our drilling and artificial lift product lines in Mexico and Colombia. Revenues increased $13 million, or 1%, in the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to increases in our well construction and completions product lines.

Operating income was flat in the second quarter of 2013, over the comparable period of the prior year and increased $15 million, or 9%, in the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in the prior year. Operating margins increased from 11.5% for the second quarter of 2012 to 12.2% for the second quarter of 2013 due to continued improving contributions from our well construction, completions and integrated drilling product lines. Operating margins were 12.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 11.9% for the first six months of 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Our sources of available liquidity include cash and cash equivalent balances, cash generated from operations, commercial paper and committed bank lines of credit. We also historically have accessed banks for short-term loans from uncommitted borrowing arrangements and the capital markets with debt and equity offerings. From time to time we may enter into transactions to factor accounts receivable or dispose of businesses or capital assets that are no longer core to our long-term growth strategy.

Committed Borrowing Facilities

We maintain a $2.25 billion unsecured, revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, scheduled to mature July 13, 2016. The Credit Agreement can be used for a combination of borrowings, support for our $2.25 billion commercial paper program and issuances of letters of credit. This agreement requires that we maintain a debt-to-total capitalization ratio of less than 60%. We were in compliance with this covenant at June 30, 2013.

The following is a recap of our availability under our committed borrowing facility at June 30, 2013 (in millions):

Facilities	$	2,250

Less:
Amount drawn		525
Commercial paper		840
Letters of credit		121

Availability	$	764

Cash Requirements

During 2013, we anticipate our cash requirements will include interest payments on our outstanding debt, the repayment of $250 million of senior notes due in the fourth quarter of 2013, working capital needs and capital expenditures. Our cash requirements may also include opportunistic business acquisitions and an amount to settle the governmental investigations described in our forward-looking statements below. Consistent with 2012, we anticipate funding these requirements from cash generated from operations, availability under our existing credit facilities, the issuance of commercial paper and potential proceeds from disposals of businesses or capital assets that are no longer closely aligned with our core long-term growth strategy. Capital expenditures for 2013 are projected to be between 8% and 12% of our revenues. The amounts we ultimately spend will depend on a number of factors including the type of contracts we enter into, asset availability and our expectations with respect to industry activity levels in 2013. Expenditures are expected to be used primarily to support anticipated near-term growth and our sources or liquidity are anticipated to be sufficient to meet our needs. Capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $846 million.

Cash and equivalents of $294 million at June 30, 2013 are held by subsidiaries domiciled outside of Switzerland. Based on the nature of our structure, we are generally able to redeploy cash with no significant incremental tax expense.

Derivative Instruments

Fair Value Hedges

Cash Flow Hedges

Other Derivative Instruments

As of June 30, 2013, we had foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts aggregating to $934 million. These contracts were entered into to hedge exposure to currency fluctuations in various foreign currencies. The total estimated fair value of these contracts, and amounts receivable or owed associated with closed contracts resulted, in a net asset of approximately $26 million. These derivative instruments were not designated as hedges and the changes in fair value of the contracts are recorded each period in Other, Net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Weatherford International Ltd., a Swiss joint-stock company, is the ultimate parent ("Weatherford Switzerland") of the Weatherford group and guarantees certain obligations of Weatherford International Ltd., a Bermuda company ("Weatherford Bermuda") and Weatherford International, LLC., a Delaware limited liability company ("Weatherford Delaware") noted below.

The following obligations of Weatherford Delaware were guaranteed by Weatherford Bermuda at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012: (1) the 6.35% Senior Notes and (2) the 6.80% Senior Notes.

Letters of Credit

We execute letters of credit and bid and performance bonds in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2013, we had $910 million of letters of credit and bid and performance bonds outstanding, consisting of $524 million of letters of credit outstanding under various uncommitted credit facilities, $121 million letters of credit outstanding under our committed facilities and $265 million of performance bonds issued by financial sureties against an indemnification from us. These obligations could be called by the beneficiaries should we breach certain contractual or performance obligations. If the beneficiaries were to call the letters of credit under our committed facilities, our available liquidity would be reduced by the amount called.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements. We prepare these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. We base our estimates on historical experience, available information and various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no material changes or developments in our evaluation of the accounting estimates and the underlying assumptions or methodologies that we believe to be Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates as disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 15 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Risk Factors

An investment in our registered shares involves various risks. When considering an investment in our Company, you should consider carefully all of the risk factors described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, under the heading "Item 1A. Risk Factors" as well as the information below and other information included and incorporated by reference in this report.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report, as well as other filings made by us with SEC, and our releases issued to the public contain various statements relating to future financial performance and results, including certain projections, business trends and other statements that are not historical facts. We believe these statements constitute "Forward-Looking Statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "strategy," "plan," "may," "should," "could," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

From time to time, we update the various factors we consider in making our forward-looking statements and the assumptions we use in those statements. However, we undertake no obligation to correct, update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except to the extent required under federal securities laws. The following sets forth various assumptions we use in our forward-looking statements, as well as risks and uncertainties relating to those statements. Certain of the risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to be materially different from projected results contained in forward-looking statements in this report and in our other disclosures. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described below under Item 1A – Risk Factors and the following:

Global political, economic and market conditions could affect projected results. Our operating results and the forward-looking information we provide are based on our current assumptions about oil and natural gas supply and demand, oil and natural gas prices, rig count and other market trends. Our assumptions on these matters are in turn based on currently available information, which is subject to change. The oil and natural gas industry is extremely volatile and subject to change based on political and economic factors outside our control. A weakened global economic climate generally results in lower demand and lower prices for oil and natural gas, which reduces drilling and production activity, which in turn results in lower revenues and income for us. Worldwide drilling activity and global demand for oil and natural gas may also be affected by changes in governmental policies and sovereign debt, laws and regulations related to environmental or energy security matters, including those addressing alternative energy sources and the risks of global climate change. Worldwide economic conditions, and the related demand for oil and natural gas, may in future periods be significantly weaker than we have assumed.

We may be unable to realize our expected revenues from current and future contracts. Our customers, many of whom are national oil companies, often have significant bargaining leverage over us and may elect to cancel or revoke contracts, not renew contracts, modify the scope of contracts or delay contracts, in some cases preventing us from realizing expected revenues and/or profits. Our projections assume that our customers will honor the contracts we have been awarded and that those contracts and the business that we believe is otherwise substantially firm will result in anticipated revenues in the periods for which they are scheduled.

Currency fluctuations could have a material adverse financial impact on our business. A material change in currency rates in our markets could affect our future results as well as affect the carrying values of our assets. Any hedging activity in which we engage may not adequately protect us from these fluctuations. The terms and size of our hedges are based on the information available to us at the time we enter into them. As a result, our hedging activity may not entirely off set our exposures. World currencies have been subject to significant volatility. Due to volatility we may be unable to enter into foreign currency contracts at a reasonable cost. As we are not able to predict changes in currency valuations, our forward-looking statements assume no material impact from future changes in currency exchange rates.

Our ability to manage our workforce could affect our projected results. We employ tens of thousands of people on six continents in a multitude of legal jurisdictions with differing labor laws. Our need for human resources varies from time to time and place to place corresponding largely to global drilling and production activity. In a climate of decreasing demand, we are faced with managing our workforce levels to control costs without impairing our ability to provide services to our customers and in compliance with various local laws. Conversely, in a climate of increasing demand, we are faced with the challenge of recruiting and retaining a skilled workforce at a reasonable cost. Our forward-looking statements assume we will be able to manage, cost effectively, our workforce in all jurisdictions in which we operate in both up cycles and down cycles.

Increases in the prices and availability of our raw materials could affect our results of operations. We use large amounts of raw materials (including steel and other metals, chemicals, plastics, polymers and energy inputs) for manufacturing our products and some of our fixed assets. The price of these raw materials has a significant impact on our cost of producing products for sale or constructing fixed assets used in our business. We have assumed the prices of our raw materials will remain within a manageable range and will be readily available. If we are unable to obtain necessary raw materials or if we are unable to minimize the impact of increased raw material costs or to realize the benefit of cost decreases in a timely fashion through our supply chain initiatives or pricing, our margins and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our ability to manage our supply chain and business processes could affect our projected results. We have undertaken efforts to improve our supply chain inventory, invoicing and collection processes and procedures. These undertakings include costs which we expect will result in long-term benefits for our business processes. Our forward-looking statements assume we will realize the benefits of these efforts.

Rapid increases in demand for our products may challenge our supply chain. Many of our products have months-long manufacturing lead times, and we must maintain appropriate levels of manufacturing facilities and trained personnel to ensure the quality and safety of our supply chain. During periods of rapidly increasing or unexpected demand, we may not be able to manufacture sufficient quantities of certain products to meet our customers' demands, which could result in lost opportunities and reputational damage. Conversely, during periods of rapidly decreasing or unexpected declines in demand, we may have committed resources to manufacturing resulting in excess inventories, or we may have underutilized manufacturing capacity, which could adversely affect our financial condition. Our forward-looking statements assume we will be able to forecast and manage our supply chain needs and inventory levels efficiently.

Our long-term growth depends upon technological innovation and commercialization. Our ability to deliver our long-term growth strategy depends in part on the commercialization of new technology. A central aspect of our growth strategy is to improve our products and services through innovation, to obtain technologically advanced products through internal research and development and/or acquisitions, to protect proprietary technology from unauthorized use and to expand the markets for new technology by leveraging our worldwide infrastructure. Our success will depend on our ability to commercialize the technology that we have acquired and demonstrate the enhanced value our technology brings to our customers' operations. Our major technological advances include, but are not limited to, those related to controlled pressure drilling and testing systems, expandable solid tubulars, expandable sand screens and intelligent well completion. Our forward-looking statements have assumed successful commercialization of, and above-average growth from, our new products and services, as well as legal protection of our intellectual property rights.

Nonrealization of expected benefits from our redomestication could affect our projected results. We operate through our various subsidiaries in numerous countries throughout the world including the U.S. During the first quarter of 2009, we completed a transaction in which our former Bermuda incorporated parent company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Weatherford Switzerland, a Swiss joint-stock company and holders of shares of the Bermuda company received one registered share of Weatherford Switzerland in exchange for each common share they held. Consequently, we are or may become subject to changes in tax laws, treaties or regulations or the interpretation or enforcement thereof in the U.S., Bermuda, Switzerland or any other jurisdictions in which we or any of our subsidiaries operate or are resident. Our income tax expense is based upon our interpretation of the tax laws in effect in various countries at the time that the expense was incurred. If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authorities do not agree with our assessment of the effects of such laws, treaties and regulations, this could have a material adverse effect on us, including the imposition of a higher effective tax rate on our worldwide earnings. In addition, our realization of expected tax benefits is based upon the assumption that we take successful planning steps and that we maintain and execute adequate processes to support our planning activities. If we fail to do so, we may not achieve the expected benefits.

Nonrealization of expected reductions in our effective tax rate could affect our projected results. We operate in over 100 countries and our income in these jurisdictions is taxed on differing bases including net income actually earned, net income deemed earned and revenue based tax withholding. We expect to achieve significant reductions in our effective tax rate through the implementation of certain tax strategies, changes to our operational structures and realization of certain tax benefits. Our ability to achieve reductions in our effective tax rate can be impacted by changes in or interpretation of tax laws, changes in estimates and assumptions regarding the scope of future operations and results achieved and the timing and nature of and expenditures incurred. Our forward looking statements assume we will achieve reductions in our effective tax rate.

Nonrealization of expected benefits from our acquisitions or business dispositions could affect our projected results. We expect to gain certain business, financial and strategic advantages as a result of business acquisitions we undertake, including synergies and operating efficiencies. Our forward-looking statements assume that we will successfully integrate our business acquisitions and realize the benefits of those acquisitions. Further, we may from time to time undertake to dispose of businesses or capital assets that are no longer core to our long-term growth strategy or to achieve corporate strategic goals and the disposition of which may improve our capital structure. Our forward-looking statements assume that if we decide to dispose of a business or asset we will find a buyer willing to pay a price we deem favorable to us and that we will successfully dispose of the business or asset. Our inability to complete dispositions timely and at attractive prices may impair our ability to improve our capital structure as rapidly as our forward-looking statements may indicate.

A downturn in our industry could affect the carrying value of our goodwill. As of June 30, 2013, we had approximately $3.7 billion of goodwill. During the second quarter of 2012, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $589 million, precipitated by a sustained decline in the market price of the company's registered shares. We could recognize additional impairments of our goodwill in the future as a result of various factors, including the impact to our projections from the dispositions of businesses and market factors, some of which are beyond our control. Our forward-looking statements do not assume any future goodwill impairment. Any reduction in the fair value of our businesses may result in an impairment charge and therefore adversely affect our results.

Adverse weather conditions in certain regions could affect our operations. From time to time, hurricanes, typhoons and severe weather impact our operations in the Gulf of Mexico and Southeast Asia. These storms and associated threats reduce the number of days on which we and our customers operate which results in lower revenues than we otherwise would have achieved. Our Canadian operations, particularly in the second quarter of each year, may vary greatly depending on the timing of "break-up", or the spring thaw, which annually results in a period in which conditions are not conducive to operations. Similarly, unfavorable weather in Russia, Caspian, China, Mexico, and Australia and in the North Sea, as well as exceedingly cold winters in other areas of the world, could reduce our operations and revenues from these areas during the relevant period. Our forward-looking statements assume weather patterns in our primary areas of operations will be conducive to our operations.

Table of Contents

US Government and internal investigations could affect our results of operations. We are currently involved in government and internal investigations involving our operations and we are in negotiations with the government agencies to resolve these matters. The governmental agencies involved in these investigations have a broad range of civil and criminal penalties they may seek to impose against corporations and individuals for violations of trade sanction laws, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other federal statutes including, but not limited to, injunctive relief, disgorgement, fines, penalties and modifications to business practices and compliance programs. In recent years, the governmental agencies and authorities involved in these investigations have entered into agreements with, and obtained a range of penalties against, several corporations and individuals in similar investigations, under which civil and criminal penalties were imposed, including in some cases fines and other penalties and sanctions in the tens and hundreds of millions of dollars. Considering the progress in the respective negotiations we recognized a $100 million loss contingency in the quarter ended June 30, 2012 for the potential settlement of the sanctioned countries matter and we recognized a $153 million loss contingency in the quarter ended June 30, 2013 for the potential settlement of the FCPA and oil-for-food matters. However, uncertainties remain, and therefore an exposure to loss may exist in excess of the amount accrued pending the ultimate resolution of the investigations, and/or we may not ultimately reach final settlement of these matters with the government agencies, and/or we may not obtain court approval of any potential settlement agreement reached with the government, which would be required for final resolution. Any final settlement may contain other features, including: (1) an agreement under which criminal prosecution for the Company would be deferred for three years, but which would be accompanied by a plea agreement imposing a potential criminal conviction on one of the Company's subsidiaries; (2) a requirement to retain, for a period expected to be 18 months, an independent monitor responsible to assess the Company's compliance with the terms of any agreement that may be reached, to be followed by a period of the Company evaluating its own compliance program and making periodic reports to the DOJ and SEC thereon; and (3) a requirement to maintain compliance monitoring and reporting systems meeting certain criteria to be established in the agreement. The above sentence is not meant to be an exhaustive listing of the non-monetary terms that may be imposed by any potential settlement, and such additional terms may be more or less onerous than those listed above. Any injunctive relief, disgorgement, fines, penalties, sanctions, scope and term of a monitor and the on-going costs resulting from these investigations could adversely affect our results of operations. We may have additional charges which may include labor claims, contractual claims, penalties assessed by customers, and costs, fines, taxes and penalties assessed by local governments, but we cannot quantify those charges or be certain of their timing. In addition, the SEC and DOJ are investigating the circumstances surrounding the material weakness in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting for income taxes that was disclosed on Forms 8-K on March 1, 2011, February 21, 2012 and July 24, 2012 and the related restatements of our historical financial statements. We are cooperating fully with the government investigations.

Failure in the future to ensure on-going compliance with certain laws could affect our results of operations. Beginning in 2009 and since then, we substantially augmented our compliance infrastructure with increased staff and more rigorous policies, procedures and training of our employees regarding compliance with applicable anti-corruption laws, trade sanctions laws, import/export laws and other applicable laws. As part of this effort, we now undertake audits of our compliance performance in various countries. Our forward-looking statements assume that our compliance efforts will be successful and that we will comply with our internal policies and applicable laws regarding these issues. Our failure to do so could result in additional enforcement action in the future, the results of which could be material and adverse to us.

Political disturbances, war, or terrorist attacks and changes in global trade policies could adversely impact our operations. We operate in over 100 countries, and as such are at risk of various types of political activities, including acts of insurrection, war, terrorism, nationalization of assets and changes in trade policies. We have assumed there will be no material political disturbances or terrorist attacks and there will be no material changes in global trade policies that affect our business. In early 2011, our operations in Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, and to a lesser extent Yemen and Bahrain were disrupted by political revolutions and uprisings in these countries. Conflict in Libya and lesser political disturbances elsewhere in the Middle East and North Africa regions are on-going, and our operations in Libya have not completely resumed. We risk loss of assets in any location where hostilities arise and persist. In these areas we also may not be able to perform the work we are contracted to perform, which could lead to forfeiture of performance bonds. We have assumed that cessation of business activities in other parts of the Middle East and North Africa regions due to political turmoil will be short-lived, that the negative impact on our business will not be material, and that the region will not experience further disruptive political revolution in the near term. However, if political violence were to curtail our activities in other countries in the region from which we derive greater business, such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Algeria, and particularly if political activities were to result in prolonged violence or conflict, we may fail to achieve the results reflected in our forward-looking statements.

Table of Contents

The material weakness in accounting for income taxes could have an adverse effect on our share price or our debt ratings and our ability to report our financial information timely and accurately. If we are unable to effectively remediate this material weakness, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on our share price and could subject us to additional potentially costly shareholder litigation or government inquiries. Further, if we are unable to effectively remediate this material weakness, our failure to do so could limit our ability to obtain financing, harm our reputation or result in debt rating agencies adjusting the ratings on our debt downward. Our forward-looking statements assume we will be able to remediate the material weakness and will maintain an effective internal control environment in the future.

Recent turmoil in the credit markets may reduce our access to capital or reduce the availability of financial risk-mitigation tools. The worldwide credit markets experienced turmoil and uncertainty from mid-2008 through most of 2009, and certain markets remained challenging in parts of 2010. In 2011, several important financial and banking institutions were perceived to be overexposed to credit risks with respect to certain sovereign debt. We do not have access to complete information about the exposures of any particular institution, and we cannot predict what systemic risks may exist in the event of failure of any sovereign debtor, major financial institution or bank. Our forward-looking statements assume that the financial institutions that have committed to extend us credit will honor their commitments under our credit facilities and that capital markets will remain orderly. If one or more of those institutions becomes unwilling or unable to honor its commitments, our access to liquidity could be impaired and our cost of capital to fund growth could increase. We use interest rate and foreign exchange swap transactions with financial institutions to mitigate certain interest rate and foreign exchange risks associated with our capital structure and our business. Our forward-looking statements assume that those tools will continue to be available to us at prices we deem reasonable. However, the failure of any counterparty to honor a swap agreement could reduce the availability of these financial risk mitigation tools or could result in the loss of expected financial benefits.

Finally, our future results will depend upon various other risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those detailed in our other filings with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. For additional information regarding risks and uncertainties, see our other filings with the SEC. Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 are made available free of charge on our website www.weatherford.com as soon as reasonably practicable after we have electronically filed the material with, or furnished it to, the SEC.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are currently exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency and changes in interest rates. From time to time, we may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions to manage or reduce our market risk. A discussion of our market risk exposure in these financial instruments follows.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

We operate in virtually every oil and natural gas exploration and production region in the world. In some parts of the world, such as the Middle East and Southeast Asia, the currency of our primary economic environment is the U.S. dollar, and we use the U.S. dollar as our functional currency. In other parts of the world, we conduct our business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and the functional currency is the applicable local currency.

In January 2010, the Venezuelan government announced its intention to devalue its currency and move to a two-tier exchange structure. The official exchange rate moved from 2.15 to 2.60 for essential goods and from 2.15 to 4.30 for non-essential goods and services. Our Venezuelan entities maintain the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. In connection with this devaluation, we incurred a charge of $64 million for the remeasurement of our net monetary assets denominated in Venezuelan bolivars at the date of the devaluation, which was not tax deductible in Venezuela. We also recorded a $24 million tax benefit for local Venezuelan income tax purposes related to our net U.S. dollar-denominated monetary liability position in the country. Effective January 1, 2011, the Venezuelan government again modified the fixed rate of exchange, eliminating the two-tier structure and establishing 4.30 as the official exchange rate for all goods and services. This modification did not have a material impact to our financial position or results of operations. On February 8, 2013, the Venezuelan government announced its intention to further devalue its currency effective February 13, 2013 at which time the official exchange moved from 4.30 per dollar to 6.30 per dollar for all goods and services. In connection with this devaluation, we recognized a charge of $100 million in the first quarter of 2013 for the remeasurement of our net monetary assets denominated in the Venezuelan bolivar at the date of the devaluation, which was not tax deductible in Venezuela. We also recorded a $39 million tax benefit for local Venezuelan income tax purposes related to our net U.S. dollar-denominated monetary liability position in the country. As of June 30, 2013, we had a net monetary asset position denominated in Venezuelan bolivars of approximately $235 million, comprised primarily of accounts receivable and inventory. We are continuing to explore opportunities to reduce our exposure, but should devaluation occur in the future, we may be required to take further charges related to the remeasurement of our net monetary asset position.

Assets and liabilities of entities for which the functional currency is the local currency are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, resulting in translation adjustments that are reflected in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the shareholders' equity section on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. A portion of our net assets are impacted by changes in foreign currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. We recorded a $286 million adjustment to decrease our equity account for 2013 to reflect the change in the U.S. dollar against various foreign currencies.

As of June 30, 2013, we had foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts aggregating to $934 million. These contracts were entered into to hedge exposure to currency fluctuations in various foreign currencies. The total estimated fair value of these contracts and amounts receivable or owed associated with closed contracts resulted in a net asset of approximately $26 million. These derivative instruments were not designated as hedges and the changes in fair value of the contracts are recorded each period in Other, Net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Interest Rates

We are subject to interest rate risk on our long-term fixed-interest rate debt and variable-interest rate borrowings. Variable rate debt, where the interest rate fluctuates periodically, exposes us to short-term changes in market interest rates. Fixed rate debt, where the interest rate is fixed over the life of the instrument, exposes us to changes in market interest rates reflected in the fair value of the debt and to the risk that we may need to refinance maturing debt with new debt at a higher rate. All other things being equal, the fair value of our fixed rate debt will increase or decrease as interest rates change.

Our long-term borrowings that were outstanding at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, subject to interest rate risk consist of the following:

	June 30, 2013				December 31, 2012
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
	(In millions)

5.15% Senior Notes due 2013	$	—	$	—	$	294	$	296
4.95% Senior Notes due 2013		250		253		250		258
5.50% Senior Notes due 2016		354		379		354		380
6.35% Senior Notes due 2017		611		670		613		690
6.00% Senior Notes due 2018		498		561		497		570
9.625% Senior Notes due 2019		1,023		1,261		1,025		1,307
5.125% Senior Notes due 2020		797		834		797		875
4.50% Senior Notes due 2022		747		734		747		794
6.50% Senior Notes due 2036		595		609		595		645
6.80% Senior Notes due 2037		298		311		298		339
7.00% Senior Notes due 2038		497		525		497		564
9.875% Senior Notes due 2039		247		336		247		370
6.75% Senior Notes due 2040		596		618		596		680
5.95% Senior Notes due 2042		545		528		545		600

We have various other long-term debt instruments of $344 million at June 30, 2013, but believe the impact of changes in interest rates in the near term will not be material to these instruments. The carrying value of our short-term borrowings of $1.8 billion at June 30, 2013 approximates their fair value.

As it relates to our variable rate debt, if market interest rates average 1% more for the remainder of 2013 than the rates as of June 30, 2013, interest expense for the remainder of 2013 would increase approximately $9 million. This amount was determined by calculating the effect of the hypothetical interest rate on our variable rate debt. For purposes of this sensitivity analysis, we assumed no changes in our capital structure.

Interest Rate Swaps and Derivatives

We manage our debt portfolio to achieve an overall desired position of fixed and floating rates and may employ interest rate swaps as a tool to achieve that goal. The major risks from interest rate derivatives include changes in the interest rates affecting the fair value of such instruments, potential increases in interest expense due to market increases in floating interest rates and the creditworthiness of the counterparties in such transactions. The counterparties to our interest rate swaps are multinational commercial banks. In light of events in the global credit markets and the potential impact of these events on the liquidity of the banking industry, we continue to monitor the creditworthiness of our counterparties.

Amounts paid or received upon termination of the interest rate swaps represent the fair value of the agreements at the time of termination and are recorded as an adjustment to the carrying value of the related debt. These amounts are amortized as a reduction, in the case of gains, or an increase, in the case of losses, to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management's Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures; Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. This information is collected and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at June 30, 2013. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at June 30, 2013 because of the material weakness discussed below.

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, identified no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, other than the positive changes resulting from the income tax remediation activities described below.

Income Tax Material Weakness Update

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and Form 10-K/A for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we previously identified a material weakness in our internal controls over the accounting for income taxes relating to current taxes payable, deferred tax assets and liabilities, reserves for uncertain tax positions and current and deferred tax expense. This material weakness resulted in the restatement of our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for both 2011 and 2010. As further disclosed, we took steps during 2011 and early 2012 to remediate this material weakness, including:

·	Engaged third-party tax advisors and consultants to assist with enhancing internal controls over financial reporting for income taxes and developing and implementing a remediation plan;

·	Revised the process for the quarterly and annual tax provisions including additional resources focused on the review and oversight of the tax accounts, reserves for unrecognized tax benefits and preparation of the income tax provision;

·	Began recruitment of various positions within the tax and financial reporting departments and completed the hiring of several newly created positions;

·	Completed the review and validation of the current and deferred tax balance sheet accounts at significant locations; and

·	Provided income tax accounting training to tax and financial personnel within each region.

Although we had designed and implemented certain new internal controls in an effort to remediate the material weakness, we continued to conclude that the material weakness was not remediated as of December 31, 2011 because our processes, procedures, controls and oversight over the income tax process were not yet operating effectively to ensure that amounts related to current taxes payable, deferred tax assets and liabilities, reserves for uncertain tax positions the current and deferred income tax expense and related footnote disclosures were accurate.

In connection with the preparation of our 2012 first and second quarter financial statements and our on-going income tax remediation activities, we identified additional income tax errors related to prior years. Due to the continued accumulation of these errors, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors concluded, on July 24, 2012, that investors should no longer rely upon our previously issued financial statements. Management determined that we would delay filing restated financial statements until significant procedures and reviews of our accounting for income taxes were performed.

During the third and fourth quarters of 2012, we performed additional procedures to restate our previously issued consolidated financial statements and to ensure they were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These procedures included the validation of all our income tax accounts in all jurisdictions. It focused on reconciliations of current taxes payable and deferred tax balances, assets and liabilities, expanded review of uncertain tax positions, an additional focus on transfer pricing activities and a further review of our accounting for withholding taxes.

Table of Contents

To ensure the propriety and completeness of our accounting for uncertain tax positions, we performed (1) a validation of all previously identified uncertain tax positions and related measurement amounts and (2) a completeness assessment that included surveys completed by in-country and regional tax and accounting personnel, review of the status and pending issues of open tax audits, and consideration of findings from all other validation and completeness procedures performed in connection with the restatement. As a result of these additional procedures, we identified additional errors across multiple jurisdictions that resulted in further restatement in amended reports filed with the SEC on December 17, 2012, of our previously reported financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 our condensed consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of 2012 and each quarter within 2011 and 2010.

Throughout 2012, we continued to strengthen our tax department personnel and internal control structure, including the hiring of a new Vice President, Tax in July 2012, and the addition of more than 25 highly qualified tax professionals in both our corporate and regional structures. Our efforts to remediate the material weakness included enhanced reviews and validation of potential uncertain tax positions, additional training and communication of potential tax exposures, enhanced procedures related to tax returns filed during 2012, enhancements to the quarterly tax provision process and implementation of technology solutions to eliminate manual processes. We believe that significant improvements to our system of internal controls were achieved during 2012 but these processes were not yet sufficiently mature to remediate the material weakness at the end of 2012.

Continued remediation efforts which include the following, will be performed throughout 2013:

On-going evaluation of the tax organizational structure, including the continued use of third-party tax advisors and consultants. We have hired approximately 50 qualified tax professionals to date and we have significantly reduced our reliance on consultants as many responsibilities have transitioned to our staff.

·	On-going evaluation of our tax accounting processes and controls to ensure that they are appropriate for our organization and make enhancements when appropriate to improve effectiveness including testing and assessments of our quarterly execution;

·	Prepare tax basis balance sheets and reconciliations of the tax accounts to validate the balances reported as of December 31, 2012;

·	On-going analysis and assessment of uncertain tax positions in all jurisdictions as part of our normal process, leveraging the extensive work performed by the Company in connection with the December 17, 2012 restatement,

·	Confirm that the information technology infrastructure supporting our income tax processes are appropriate.

·	Continued delivery of income tax accounting training for tax and financial accounting personnel.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Under our restricted share plan, employees may elect to have us withhold registered shares to satisfy minimum statutory federal, state and local tax withholding obligations arising on the vesting of restricted stock awards and exercise of options. When we withhold these shares, we are required to remit to the appropriate taxing authorities the market price of the shares withheld, which could be deemed a purchase of shares by us on the date of withholding. During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we withheld shares to satisfy these tax withholding obligations as follows:

Period	No. of Shares		Average Price

April 1 – April 30, 2013		37,046	$	12.11
