U.S. Land Drilling Market Conditions Recent oil price improvements could provide opportunities for increased drilling demand and dayrate improvement. Additional demand for super-spec rigs as the replacement cycle persists and well complexity increases. Ongoing trend toward more complex wells also results in need to enhance control of wellbore quality and placement. Average spot pricing still in the high-teens, while leading-edge spot pricing in the low $20k/day range.

FlexRig Family of SolutionsTM - Pad Design FlexRig3 skid system is designed to meet the requirements for standard pad drilling. Typically customers drill 2-4 wells per pad. FlexRig5 skid system is a bi-directional design, with the typical pad having 2-4 wells, and in some cases range from 6-8 wells. The “walking” option for the FlexRig3 will enable us to capture additional market share and will enhance our Family of SolutionsTM offering. As a result of customer demand, we continue to upgrade standard FlexRig3s with skid and walking systems.

Ongoing U.S. Land Market Trends Unconventional plays continue to shape the landscape. Increasingly complex well designs, 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. Replacement cycle is expected to continue.

Performance Is Not Only About Better Rigs Our competitive advantage is also about: People Safety Experience Training Culture Uniform Fleet Size & Scale Operational Support Network Processes/Data Maintenance Supply Chain

Center of Excellence – Tulsa, OK Support Structure Data Analysis Best Practices 24/7 Technical and Performance Solutions:

H&P Adding to the Family of SolutionsTM Recent MOTIVE and MagVAR acquisitions create a powerful software platform and compelling value opportunity for E&P companies Offers flexibility to select best technology regardless of drilling contractor Brings new level of accuracy to directional drilling MOTIVE-guided wells significantly outperform non-MOTIVE wells MagVAR services reduce surveying uncertainty by 50-60%, increases horizontal well economics while reducing risk

MOTIVE Drilling Technologies, Inc. MOTIVE’s proprietary Bit Guidance System is a unique directional drilling technology. Industry leader in the use of cognitive computing to guide the directional drilling process Algorithm-driven system More than 300 horizontal wells to date and over 4 million feet drilled across all of the major U.S. shale plays and Canada MOTIVE has the ability to provide decision automation. More accurate well placement Smoother, better quality wellbores More efficient drilling (faster and with better accuracy) Consistently lower drilling costs Potential for increased hydrocarbon production MOTIVE will remain available to all E&P operators and directional drilling service providers regardless of which drilling rig contractor is used.

MOTIVE Case Study Industry Problem: Higher than expected drilling and lifting costs due to the inability to consistently follow a prescribed well path and to hit and stay within the targets identified collectively by the operator’s geologists, geophysicists, and reservoir engineers. H&P Solution: MOTIVE™ Bit Guidance System. Goes beyond traditional directional drilling by providing task automation, forward modeling, real-time learning, and automated decision-making to guide the steering of the bit while considering the economic consequences of all decisions. Case Study Evidence (Eagle Ford): two sets of four wells drilled (one guided by MOTIVE and one without it), with nearly identical lithologies, well path geometries, drill bits, BHAs, and other associated rig equipment, and at approximately the same time. Results: 30% lower effective directional drilling cost with nearly twice the accuracy and zero non-productive time (NPT). Conclusion: The MOTIVE-guided wells significantly outperformed the non-MOTIVE wells in each of the sections drilled.

MagVAR MagVAR is a leading provider of MWD geomagnetic referencing and survey quality management Real-time center serving over 180 active horizontal rigs drilling in North America Utilized for over 40 E&P companies 3,000+ wells analyzed and corrected

Well Placement is Critical MagVAR services reduce standard surveying uncertainty by 50-60%, increasing horizontal well economics while reducing risk. Precise well placement enables maximum reservoir drainage More accurate positional data leads to better geological models Less positional uncertainty reduces risk of well on well collision Maintaining accurate well spacing reduces occurrences of frac hits during completions

Customer Satisfaction Matters Value creation for the customer is not only driven by having the right rig. It is also driven by service; the ability of an organization to deliver top performance with that rig. Better service drives value, customer satisfaction, market share and pricing. H&P has been rated 1st in total customer satisfaction for nine years in a row.* When combined with capital discipline, customer satisfaction also drives shareholder value. * Please refer to EnergyPoint Research.
