| H&P’s Global Rig Fleet * Estimates include existing rigs and new build commitments as of September 9, 2015 and exclude nine conventional rigs decommissioned at the end of fiscal 2014 and 17 SCR powered FlexRigs decommissioned at the end of 2Q fiscal 2015.

| Drilling Activity in the U.S.

| U.S. Land Drilling Market Conditions Faced with a global oversupply of oil as well as other macroeconomic headwinds, the short-term outlook for the industry is unfavorable. The energy services landscape is becoming more competitive with greater pressure to reduce well costs, enhance productivity, and add value for customers. Conversations with customers: Many customers have backed off re-activation plans in the second half of 2015. Operators plan to spend within cash flow, and lower commodity prices mean fewer wells drilled. Additional early termination notifications have been recently received and others may follow. We believe the Company is well-positioned. Long-term contracts continue to protect our investments, the balance sheet is in great shape, our customer base remains strong, and our competitive advantages have positioned us very well to manage through this cycle and to capture opportunities when they emerge.

| H&P’s U.S. Land Activity and Pricing Comments H&P’s U.S. Land segment had approximately 153 contracted rigs generating revenue as of September 3, 2015, down from 156 on July 30, 2015. The U.S. Land segment had 186 idle AC drive FlexRigs as of September 3, 2015. As rig activity continues to decline, our U.S. Land segment quarterly revenue days are now expected to sequentially decrease by slightly over 5%. Average FlexRig spot pricing continues to decline; it was down by approximately 30% as of September 3, 2015, as compared to spot pricing at the peak last November. Since the start of the downturn in late-2014, H&P’s U.S. Land segment has received early termination notices for 50 rigs working under long-term contracts.

| Fourth Fiscal Quarter H&P Operations Outlook Drilling Operations Outlook for 4Q of Fiscal 2015 Compared to 3Q of Fiscal 2015 U.S. Land Segment Revenue days now expected to decrease by slightly over 5% Average rig revenue per day still expected to decrease to roughly $26,000 (excluding the impact from early termination revenue) Average rig expense per day still expected to decrease to roughly $13,900 Offshore Segment Revenue days still expected to be roughly flat Average rig margin per day still expected at ~$10,500 International Land Revenue days still expected to decrease by 10-15% Average rig margin per day still expected to decrease by ~30-35% (excluding the impact from early termination revenue) (as of September 9, 2015)

| New Build FlexRigs Approximately 40 new FlexRigs are scheduled to be completed during fiscal 2015 and approximately six during early fiscal 2016 All 46 of the above new FlexRigs are supported with multi-year term contracts that are expected to generate attractive economic returns for the Company 38 of the 46 new FlexRigs have been completed, and the remaining eight are expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2016 Some of the new build deliveries may be delayed in exchange for compensation from customers (All Sponsored with Long-Term Contracts)

| H&P Global Fleet Under Term Contract Strong Backlog The above term contract coverage excludes long-term contracts for which the Company received early contract termination notifications as of 9/3/15. During the first, second, and third fiscal quarters the Company generated approximately $23, $72, and $85 million in revenues corresponding to long-term contract early terminations, respectively. Given notifications as of 9/3/15, the Company expects to generate over $60 million in quarters following the third quarter of fiscal 2015 from early terminations corresponding to long-term contracts. All of the above rig contracts include provisions for early termination fees. Some of the new build deliveries may be delayed in exchange for compensation from customers, but the corresponding total backlog would remain the same or potentially increase. Mutually beneficial renegotiations of some long-term contracts for active rigs are expected to extend the timing of those contracts beyond what is reflected above. ** Fiscal 2015 contract coverage includes a total of approximately 194, 175, and 147 rigs that operated under term contracts during Q1, Q2, and Q3 of FY15, respectively. * **

| H&P vs. Industry U.S. Land Customer Base Note: The above estimates corresponding to the active rig fleet in the U.S. are derived from multiple sources including Rig Data and corporate filings. High Quality Customer Base

| H&P Customer Credit Ratings * As of June 30, 2015. Consists of 153 contracted U.S. Land rigs, 8 contracted Offshore rigs, and 19 contracted International Land rigs. Includes approximately 53 customers with active/contracted H&P rigs. ** The figures above represent H&P’s customer commitments for term contract work at the beginning of the fourth fiscal quarter (July 1, 2015). The value of the H&P backlog is expected to continue to decline during the fourth fiscal quarter as the Company earns the corresponding income during the quarter through operations or through early contract termination fees.
