Forward-LookingStatements Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the securities laws. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words or variation of words such as "expect," "look forward to," "anticipate" "intend," "plan," "believe," "seek," "estimate," "will," "project" or words of similar meaning or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements provide management's current expectations or predictions of future conditions, events or results. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements. They may include estimates of revenues, market share, income, effective tax rate, earnings per share, cost savings, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, liquidity, capital structure or other financial items, descriptions of management's plans or objectives for future operations, products or services, or descriptions of assumptions underlying any of the above. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and reflect the company's good faith beliefs, assumptions and expectations, but they are not guarantees of future performance or events. Furthermore, the company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions, factors, or expectations, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes, except as required by law. By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to a variety of economic, competitive and regulatory factors, many of which are beyond the company's control, that are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 in the sections entitled "Risk Factors“ and “Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and additional factors we may describe from time to time in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You may get such filings for free at our website at https://www.hpinc.com/. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and, consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. Market and Industry Data The data included in this presentation regarding the oil field services industry, including trends in the market and the company's position and the position of its competitors within this industry, are based on the company's estimates, which have been derived from management's knowledge and experience in the industry, and information obtained from customers, trade and business organizations, internal research, publicly-available information, industry publications and surveys and other contacts in the industry. The company has also cited information compiled by industry publications, governmental agencies and publicly-available sources. Although the company believes these third-party sources to be reliable, it has not independently verified the data obtained from these sources and it cannot assure you of the accuracy or completeness of the data. Estimates of market size and relative positions in a market are difficult to develop and inherently uncertain and the company cannot assure you that it is accurate. Accordingly, you should not place undue weight on the industry and market share data presented in this presentation. 1 © HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC. 2019 19-9378-1C1.1P4

Wellbore Quality & Accuracy Extracting Higher Value from Shale Assets Motive and MagVAR acquisitions create a powerful platform and compelling value opportunity for E&P companies Offers flexibility for E&Ps to select best technology regardless of drilling contractor Brings new level of accuracy to directional drilling Priced separately from rig dayrate 15 19-9378-1C1.1P18 Motive and MagVAR remain available to all E&P operators and directional drilling service providers regardless of which drilling rig contractor is used H&P Technologies segment created to manage, promote and commercialize new offerings as well as to develop next innovations in Value Driven AutomationTM Motive software enables drilling of higher quality wellbores with a scalable, repeatable, data driven platform approach MagVAR software increases surveying accuracy by 50-60%, increases horizontal well economics while reducing risk

Traditional Directional Drilling Challenges Without Motive Motive Results Well Design Difficult to Achieve Improved Accuracy • • Poor drilling accuracy Missed targets/pay zones • • Well Drilled to Plan More time in pay zone Planned Trajectory Actual Result MOTIVE Result Inconsistent Practices Consistent Practices • • • • Increased tortuosity Poor hole quality Low rate of penetration Completion issues Decreased tortuosity Better hole quality Less drilling time Smoother completion Human Made Drilling Decisions Eliminates Human Error • Directional driller errors Converting Art to Science Elevated Lifting Costs Decreased Lifting Costs • Lower returns Improved returns Downhole Tool Failures Fewer Tool Failures 16 19-9378-1C1.1P19

MOTIVE Bit Guidance System Motive has commercially drilled over 12 million feet on over 800 wells across all of the major U.S. shale plays and Canada Motive has been issued 19 U.S. Patents Today Motive operates on both H&P FlexRigs and competitor rigs The Bit Guidance System converts directional drilling Art to Science 17 19-9378-1C1.1P20

MagVAR Survey Correction Unconventional Drilling – Why Surveying Accuracy Matters The path can be as important as the MagVAR high accuracy modeling of the Earth’s crustal destination…The industry is leaving behind! hydrocarbons magnetic field significantly improves MWD accuracy Reduces the cost and risks associated with positional uncertainty, which include: Reduced oil recovery Well interference Frac hits Poor geological models Real-time center serving active horizontal rigs in North America Utilized by almost 60 E&P companies Rig count using MagVAR survey correction has increased by over 50% in the past year Corrected almost 8,500 wells MagVAR has developed a complete well placement solution that enables highly accurate wellbore placement 18 19-9378-1C1.1P21

Optimized Wellbore Placement Why is Wellbore Placement Critical? Reservoir: Directly impacts well performance by increasing reservoir volume; optimal drainage, more frac wings Completions: improving hydraulic communication Geology:better mapping improves prospectivity Regulatory: greater confidence wells are within boundaries Drilling:reduced collision risk for future in-fill drilling stimulate Improved performance (enhanced returns): Reserve adds Recovery factor Production Lower F&D/boe Without MagVAR Survey Error Leads to Inaccuracy With MagVAR Optimal Spacing Frac Collisions Stranded Hydrocarbon Pay zone illustration courtesy of Pioneer Natural Resources F&D/boe = finding and development cost per barrel of oil equivalent 19 19-9378-1C1.1P22

Path Towards Automation Using the autonomous car analogy, H&P with its new AutoSlide functionality is entering level 4 out of the 5 levels, where there is still a driver but he is not required to touch the steering wheel except in rare occasions.
