Item 8.01 Other Events.
In a press release issued on October 5, 2007, Nabors Industries Ltd. announced that it expects its
results for the third quarter of 2007 to be lower than current analysts’ consensus estimates as a
result of both operational and other factors. The Company currently estimates third quarter
earnings to be in the range of $0.73 to $0.76 per diluted share, inclusive of gains identified in
its second quarter earnings release, arising from the sale of certain oil and gas properties and
its Sea Mar entity. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, is
incorporated herein by reference, and is hereby filed.
