Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is furnishing this report to disclose an updated Company presentation to be used, or the basis of which will be used, in communications with investors as well as at investor conferences, including the upcoming Capital One Energy Conference on December 7, 2016. Notably in the presentation materials (page 19) the Company is reducing its 2016 forecast for revenues and adjusted EBITDA as a result of a delay in the expected commercial start-up of the Petrobras contract for the Siem Helix1 vessel due to the Company continuing to work through the Petrobras inspection and approval process, as well as having experienced some downtime on the Q5000 vessel.

The presentation materials are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein. The presentation materials will also be posted in the Presentations section under Investor Relations on the Company’s website, www.HelixESG.com.
