H&P’s Strong Balance Sheet (As of June 30, 2016) 1. Total Capitalization is defined as Total Debt plus Shareholders' Equity. Total-Debt-to-Total-Capitalization Ratio1 Source: Company Filings.

Current Dividend Yields Source: Thomson Reuters. Yields calculated as of market close on September 2, 2016.

H&P’s Global Rig Fleet * Estimates include existing rigs and announced new build commitments.

FlexRig Type Rig Power Type H&P U.S. Land Fleet – Family of Solutions Pad* AC Drive FlexRigs Drawworks Horsepower Most Advanced Fleet ** Approximately 123 FlexRig3s and 6 FlexRig4s of the 151 “Other FlexRigs” can be upgraded to Pad* FlexRigs. * Optimal for multiple-well pad drilling applications. **

U.S. Land Market Share Leader Note: The above estimates corresponding to market share are derived from Rig Data. Additionally, the drawworks capacity of each land rig included in the above analysis was equal to or greater than 600 horsepower. Market Leader As of August 2016 (~510 Active Rigs in U.S. Land)

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 9/7/16. Given notifications as of 9/7/16, the Company expects to generate approximately $30 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2016 and over $40 million thereafter from early terminations corresponding to long-term contracts. About 50% of the mentioned early termination revenues that we expect to be recognized after the third fiscal quarter of 2016 have already been invoiced and collected and were included in the current liability section of our June 30, 2016 balance sheet as deferred revenue. 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. * Term Contract Status - H&P Global Fleet* (Including Contracted New Builds - as of 9/7/16)

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. The category “Large Operators” includes majors and large independent E&P operators. High Quality Customer Base

U.S. Land Drilling Market Conditions Over 1,400 rigs have been idled in the U.S. and tens-of-thousands of industry participants have been laid off. The impact has been pervasive. Nevertheless, as oil and gas prices recover, the market is displaying some early signs of optimism. Some E&P companies have announced budget increases and rig count additions, but many still remain on the sidelines. The U.S. land active rig count has significantly increased over the last few months. Shale customers have high expectations, and well complexity is increasing as a result of extended laterals. Extended laterals require rigs with greater capability, and 1,500 hp AC rigs are the rig of choice.

Drilling Activity in the U.S.

Note: The above estimates corresponding to horizontal and directional rig activity by power type are derived from multiple sources including Rig Data and corporate filings. Additionally, the drawworks capacity of each land rig included in the above analysis was greater than or equal to 600 horsepower. Certain assumptions were made in relation to the power systems on certain unidentified rigs. U.S. Land Horizontal and Directional Activity (As of August 2016)

Land Drilling Market Share Changes (From May 2016 Through August 2017) A larger proportion of small and private operators have put rigs back to work since the May 2016 trough. As a consequence: Lower horsepower, non-AC Drive rigs have gone back to work at a more rapid pace than AC Drive rigs thus far. Most gains in market share have gone to small land drillers. We believe that the highest quality AC Drive rigs will regain and continue to take market share once larger E&P operators put rigs back to work in significant volume.

The Replacement Cycle: Customer Adoption Next ~75 E&P Operators (~235 Active Rigs by Power Type) Top 10 E&P Operators (~120 Active Rigs by Power Type) Remaining E&P Operators (~155 Active Rigs by Power Type) Top 10 E&P Operators Next ~75 E&P Operators Remaining E&P Operators They represent the 10 most active E&P operators and employ ~24% of the industry’s active drilling rigs. They represent the next ~75 most active operators and employ ~46% of the industry’s active drilling rigs. They represent all other remaining active operators and employ ~30% of the industry’s active drilling rigs. ~97% of their rigs are drilling horizontal or directional wells. ~94% of their rigs are drilling horizontal or directional wells. ~72% of their rigs are drilling horizontal or directional wells. ~14% of their rigs are drilling horizontal or directional wells with SCR or Mechanical rigs. ~31% of their rigs are drilling horizontal or directional wells with SCR or Mechanical rigs. ~36% of their rigs are drilling horizontal or directional wells with SCR or Mechanical rigs.

H&P’s U.S. Land Activity and Pricing Comments H&P’s U.S. Land segment has approximately 92 contracted rigs generating revenue, including 88 rigs generating revenue days as of September 7, 2016 (~13% of the 88 rigs remained idle and on standby dayrates). Average FlexRig spot pricing is in the mid-teens or down by more than 35%, as compared to spot pricing at the peak in November 2014. There have been no early contract terminations since our last update on July 28, 2016.

Performance is Not Only About Better Rigs Our competitive advantage is also about: People Safety Experience Training Culture Support Structure Processes Organizational Network Maintenance Supply Chain

Ongoing U.S. Land Market Trends Unconventional plays continue to shape the landscape. Well designs are increasingly complex, including longer laterals and more challenging drilling requirements. Customers continue to focus on safety, efficiency, technology, and reliable drilling performance. AC drive rigs are best suited and continue to be upgraded for more demanding drilling requirements. The replacement cycle is expected to continue.
