SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Ensco International Incorporated, Common Shares, 
$.10 Par Value) File No. 1-8097

January 2, 1996.
    ENSCO International Incorporated (``Company'') has filed an 
application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to 
withdraw the above specified security (``Security'') from listing and 
registration on the American Stock Exchange Inc. (``Amex'').
    The reasons alleged in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following: According to the 
Company, in addition to being listed on the Amex, the Security is 
listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE''). The Security 
commenced trading on the NYSE at the opening of business on December 
20, 1995 and concurrently therewith such stock will suspend from 
trading on the Amex. In making the decision to withdraw the Security 
from listing on the Amex, the Company considered the direct and 
indirect costs and expenses attendant with maintaining the dual listing 
of the Security on the NYSE and on the Amex. The Company does not see 
any particular advantage in the dual trading of the Security and 
believes that dual listing would fragment the market for the Security.
    Any interested person may, on or before January 24, 1996, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street NW., Washington, DC 20549, facts bearing upon whether the 
application has been made in accordance with the rules of the exchanges 
and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the 
protection of investors. The Commission, based on the information 
submitted to it, will issue an order granting the application after the 
date mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a 
hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
