  Re:    Pride International, Inc.
Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2009
Filed February 19, 2010
File No. 1-13289
Dear Mr. Lucas:
          As I indicated to you by telephone on June 3, 2010, due in part to issues related to the receipt and dissemination of the fax of the comments contained in the staff’s letter dated May 14, 2010, we are requesting, on behalf of our client Pride International, Inc., an extension regarding the proposed date to file our response to the comment letter. Pride intends to file its response on or before Wednesday, June 16, 2010. The additional time should be sufficient to compile the information needed to respond to the comments and to have the responses appropriately reviewed by Pride’s Audit Committee and independent registered public accounting firm.
          If you have any questions or require additional information regarding this submission, you may contact me at 713.229.1379.
         
  Very truly yours,
 		  
  /s/ Tull R. Florey
