ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
In this prospectus supplement, unless otherwise indicated, when we refer to "Weatherford Bermuda," we are
generally referring to Weatherford International Ltd. When we refer to "Weatherford" or use words such as
"we," "us" or "our," we are generally referring to Weatherford Bermuda and its subsidiaries (including
Weatherford International, Inc.) as a whole or on a division basis, depending on the context in which the
statements are made. When we refer to Weatherford Delaware, we are referring to Weatherford International,
Inc., a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Weatherford Bermuda.
This prospectus supplement is part of a registration statement that we have filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, or SEC, using a "shelf" registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we
are offering to sell the notes using this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. This
prospectus supplement describes the specific terms of the note offering. The accompanying prospectus gives
more general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. If the description of the offering
varies between this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the
information in this prospectus supplement.
Consent under the Exchange Control Act of 1972 (and its related regulations) has been obtained from the
Bermuda Monetary Authority for the issue and transfer of our loan notes to and between non-residents of
Bermuda for exchange control purposes, provided our shares remain listed on an appointed stock exchange,
which includes the New York Stock Exchange. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus
will be filed with the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda in accordance with Bermuda law. In granting such
consent and in accepting this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus for filing, neither the
Bermuda Monetary Authority nor the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda accepts any responsibility for our
financial soundness or the correctness of any of the statements made or opinions expressed in such
documents.
You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus
supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any "free writing prospectus" that we authorize to be delivered
to you. We have not, and the underwriters have not, authorized any other person to provide you with different
information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. We
are not, and the underwriters are not, making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer
or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement, any
"free writing prospectus," the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference is
accurate only as of their respective dates. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects may have changed since those dates.
