    FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
    This press release and attached presentation contain forward-looking
statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause
our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements.  All statements, other than statements of
historical fact, are statements that could be deemed "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995, including, without limitation, any projections of revenue, gross
margin, expenses, earnings or losses from operations, or other financial
items; future production volumes, results of exploration, exploitation,
development, acquisition and operations expenditures, and prospective reserve
levels of property or wells; any statements of the plans, strategies and
objectives of management for future operations; any statement concerning
developments, performance or industry rankings relating to services; any
statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements
of expectation or belief; any statements regarding the proposed merger of
Remington Oil and Gas Corporation into a wholly owned subsidiary of Helix or
the anticipated results (financial or otherwise) thereof; and any statements
of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.  The risks, uncertainties and
assumptions referred to above include the performance of contracts by
suppliers, customers and partners; employee management issues; complexities of
global political and economic developments, geologic risks and other risks
described from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ending December 31, 2004; and, with respect to the proposed Remington
merger, actual results could differ materially from Helix' expectations
depending on factors such as the combined company's cost of capital, the
ability of the combined company to identify and implement cost savings,
synergies and efficiencies in the time frame needed to achieve these
expectations, prior contractual commitments of the combined companies and
their ability to terminate these commitments or amend, renegotiate or settle
the same, the combined company's actual capital needs, the absence of any
material incident of property damage or other hazard that could affect the
need to effect capital expenditures, any unforeseen merger or acquisition
opportunities that could affect capital needs, the costs incurred in
implementing synergies and the factors that generally affect both Helix' and
Remington's respective businesses as further outlined in "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in
each of the companies' respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2004.  Actual actions that the combined company may take
may differ from time to time as the combined company may deem necessary or
advisable in the best interest of the combined company and its shareholders to
attempt to achieve the successful integration of the companies, the synergies
needed to make the transaction a financial success and to react to the economy
and the combined company's market for its exploration and production.  We
assume no obligation and do not intend to update these forward-looking
statements.
