</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Patterson-UTI
Energy, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Except for wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company
has no controlling financial interests in any entity which would require consolidation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management of
the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures
included either on the face of the financial statements or herein are sufficient to make the
information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are of a
normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair statement of the information in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been included. The
Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December&nbsp;31, 2008, as presented herein, was derived from
the audited balance sheet of the Company, but does not include all disclosures required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These unaudited
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and related notes included in the Company&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for all of the Company&#146;s operations except for its
Canadian operations, which uses the Canadian dollar as its functional currency. The effects of
exchange rate changes are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is a separate
component of stockholders&#146; equity.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company provides a dual presentation of its net income per common share in its Unaudited
Consolidated Statements of Income: Basic net income per common share (&#147;Basic EPS&#148;) and diluted net
income per common share (&#147;Diluted EPS&#148;). The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Staff Position
No.&nbsp;EITF 03-6-1, <I>Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are
Participating Securities </I>(&#147;FSP EITF 03-6-1&#148;) in the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2009. FSP EITF 03-6-1
clarifies that share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to receive non-forfeitable
dividends before vesting should be considered participating securities and, as such, should be
included in the calculation of earnings-per-share using the two-class method.
All earnings per share data presented for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 has been adjusted retrospectively to conform with the
provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1. The impact of this retrospective
application was to reduce basic EPS for the three months ended March
31, 2008 by $0.01.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by first allocating earnings between common
stockholders and holders of unvested shares of restricted stock. Basic EPS is then determined by
dividing the earnings attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the
dilutive effect of potential common shares, including stock options, non-vested shares of
restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards. The dilutive effect of stock options and
restricted stock unit awards is determined based on the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect
of non-vested shares of restricted stock is based on the more dilutive of the treasury stock method
or the two-class method assuming a reallocation of undistributed earnings to common stockholders
after considering the dilutive effect of potential common shares other than non-vested shares of
restricted stock.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company recognizes the cost of share-based awards under the fair-value-based method. The
Company uses share-based awards to compensate employees and non-employee directors. All
share-based awards have been equity instruments in the form of stock options, restricted stock
awards or restricted stock unit awards and have included service and, in certain cases, performance
conditions. The Company issues shares of common stock when vested stock option awards are
exercised, when restricted stock awards are granted and when restricted stock units vest.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Stock Options. </I>The Company estimates the grant date fair values of stock options using the
Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model (&#147;Black-Scholes&#148;). Volatility assumptions are based on the
historic volatility of the Company&#146;s common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected
term of the options as of the date the options are granted. The expected term assumptions are
based on the Company&#146;s experience with respect to employee stock option activity. Dividend yield
assumptions are based on the expected dividends at the time the options are granted. The risk-free
interest rate assumptions are determined by reference to United States Treasury yields.
Weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the grant date fair values for stock options granted
in the three month periods ended March&nbsp;31, 2009 and 2008 follow:

to four business segments: (i)&nbsp;contract drilling of oil and natural gas wells, (ii)&nbsp;pressure
pumping services, (iii)&nbsp;drilling and completion fluid services and (iv)&nbsp;the investment, on a
working interest basis, in oil and natural gas properties. Each of these segments represents a
distinct type of business based upon the type and nature of services and products offered. These
segments have separate management teams which report to the Company&#146;s chief operating decision
maker. The results of operations in these segments are regularly reviewed by the chief operating
decision maker for purposes of determining resource allocation and assessing performance. Separate
financial data for each of our four business segments is provided in the table below (in

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Goodwill is evaluated at least annually to determine if the fair value of recorded goodwill
has decreased below its carrying value. For purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is evaluated
at the reporting unit level. The Company&#146;s reporting units for impairment testing have been
determined to be its operating segments.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with its annual goodwill impairment assessment performed as of December&nbsp;31,
2008, the Company performed an impairment test of its contract drilling and drilling and completion
fluids reporting units under the provisions of FAS 142. In light of the adverse market conditions
affecting the Company&#146;s common stock price beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008 and continuing
into 2009, including a significant decrease in the number of its rigs operating and a significant
decline in oil and natural gas commodity prices, management utilized a discounted cash flow
methodology to estimate the fair values of the Company&#146;s reporting units.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Based on the results of the first step of the impairment test, management concluded that no
impairment was indicated in its contract drilling reporting unit; however, an impairment was
indicated in its drilling and completion fluids reporting unit. Management performed the second
step of the analysis of its drilling and completion fluids reporting unit, allocating the estimated
fair value to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of this reporting
unit based on their respective values. This allocation indicated no residual value for goodwill,
and accordingly the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $10.0&nbsp;million in its
drilling and completion fluids reporting unit in the fourth quarter of 2008 and reduced the
carrying value of goodwill in that reporting unit to zero.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of March&nbsp;31, 2009 and December&nbsp;31, 2008 the Company had goodwill of $86.2&nbsp;million in its
contract drilling reporting unit. In the event that market conditions
remain weak, the Company may
be required to record an impairment of goodwill in its contract drilling reporting unit in the
future, and such impairment could be material.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>8. Borrowings Under Line of Credit</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company entered into an unsecured revolving line of credit (&#147;LOC&#148;) on March&nbsp;20, 2009 with
a maximum borrowing and letter of credit capacity of $220&nbsp;million, including a letter of credit
sublimit of $150&nbsp;million and a swing line sublimit of $40&nbsp;million. In addition, the aggregate
borrowing and letter of credit capacity under the LOC may, subject to the terms and conditions set
forth therein including the receipt of additional commitments from lenders, be increased up to a
maximum amount not to exceed $450&nbsp;million. This LOC replaced an existing $375&nbsp;million unsecured
line of credit, which was terminated when the LOC was established. Interest is paid on the
outstanding principal amount of LOC borrowings at a floating rate based on, at the Company&#146;s
election, LIBOR or a base rate. The margin on LIBOR loans ranges from 3.00% to 4.00% and the
margin on base rate loans ranges from 2.00% to 3.00%, based on the Company&#146;s debt to capitalization
ratio. At March&nbsp;31, 2009, the margin on LIBOR loans would have been 3.00% and the margin on base
rate loans would have been 2.00%. Any outstanding borrowings must be repaid at maturity on January
31, 2012 and letters of credit may remain in effect up to six months after such maturity date.
This LOC facility includes various fees, including a commitment fee on the actual daily unused
commitment (such commitment fee rate was 1.00% at March&nbsp;31,
2009).

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $5.5
million
during the three months ended March 31, 2009 in connection with
entering into the LOC. These costs are being amortized on a straight
line basis over the contractual term of the LOC as an adjustment to
interest expense.</div>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There are customary
representations, warranties, restrictions and covenants associated with the LOC. Financial
covenants provide for a maximum debt to capitalization ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio.
The Company does not expect that the restrictions and covenants will impact its ability to operate
or react to opportunities that might arise. As of March&nbsp;31, 2009, the Company had no borrowings
outstanding under the LOC. The Company had $57.5&nbsp;million in letters of credit outstanding at March
31, 2009, however, and as a result the Company had available borrowing capacity of $162.5&nbsp;million
at that date. Each domestic subsidiary of the Company has unconditionally guaranteed the existing
and future obligations of the Company and each other guarantor under the LOC and related loan
documents, as well as obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under interest rate swap
contracts entered into with lenders party to the LOC.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Commitments &#151; </I>As of March&nbsp;31, 2009, the Company maintained letters of credit in the aggregate
amount of $57.5&nbsp;million for the benefit of various insurance companies as collateral for
retrospective premiums and retained losses which could become payable under the terms of the
underlying insurance contracts. These letters of credit expire at various times during the
calendar year and are typically renewed annually. As of March&nbsp;31, 2009, no amounts had been drawn
under the letters of credit.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of March&nbsp;31, 2009, the Company had commitments to purchase approximately $231&nbsp;million of
major equipment.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is party to various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its
business. The Company does not believe that the outcome of these proceedings, either individually
or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.

stock in the amount of $0.05 per share to be paid on June&nbsp;30, 2009 to holders of record as of June
15, 2009. The amount and timing of all future dividend payments, if any, is subject to the
discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon business conditions, results of
operations, financial condition, terms of the Company&#146;s credit facilities and other factors.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On August&nbsp;1, 2007, the Company&#146;s Board of Directors approved a stock buyback program
(&#147;Program&#148;), authorizing purchases of up to $250&nbsp;million of the Company&#146;s common stock in open
market or privately negotiated transactions. No shares were purchased under the program during the
three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2009. As of March&nbsp;31, 2009, the Company is authorized to purchase
approximately $113&nbsp;million of the Company&#146;s outstanding common stock under the Program. Shares
purchased under the Program have been accounted for as treasury stock.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company purchased 18,702 shares of stock from employees during the three months ended
March&nbsp;31, 2009. These shares were purchased at fair market value upon the vesting of restricted
stock to provide employees with the funds necessary to satisfy payroll tax withholding obligations
and have been accounted for as treasury stock. The total purchase price for these shares was
approximately $216,000. These purchases were made pursuant to the terms of the Patterson-UTI

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In September&nbsp;2006, the FASB issued Statement No.&nbsp;157, <I>Fair Value Measurements </I>(&#147;FAS 157&#148;).
FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. The initial
application of FAS 157 was limited to financial assets and liabilities and became effective on
January&nbsp;1, 2008 for the Company. The impact of the initial application of FAS 157 was not
material. On January&nbsp;1, 2009, the Company adopted FAS 157 on a prospective basis for non-financial
assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The application
of FAS 157 to the Company&#146;s non-financial assets and liabilities
is primarily limited to assets
acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, asset retirement obligations and asset
impairments, including goodwill and long-lived assets. This application of FAS 157 has not had a
material impact to the Company.

and Statement No.&nbsp;160, <I>Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment
of ARB No.&nbsp;51 </I>(&#147;FAS 160&#148;). FAS 141(R) is a revision of Statement No.&nbsp;141, <I>Business Combinations</I>,
and calls for significant changes from current practice in accounting for business combinations.
FAS 141(R) is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December&nbsp;15, 2008. FAS 160
amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a
subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. FAS 160 is effective for fiscal years
beginning on or after December&nbsp;15, 2008. Both FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 became effective for the
Company on January&nbsp;1, 2009. The application of FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 has not had a material

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We provide our contract services to oil and natural gas operators in many of the oil and
natural gas producing regions of North America. Our contract drilling operations are focused in
various regions of Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,
Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and western Canada, while our pressure pumping services are focused primarily in the Appalachian
Basin. Our drilling and completion fluids services are provided to operators offshore in the Gulf
of Mexico and on land in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Louisiana. The oil and natural gas
properties in which we hold interests are primarily located in Texas, New Mexico, Mississippi and
Louisiana.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Typically, the profitability of our business is most readily assessed by two primary
indicators in our contract drilling segment: our average number of rigs operating and our average
revenue per operating day. During the first quarter of 2009, our average number of rigs operating
was 127 compared to 244 in the first quarter of 2008. Our average
number of rigs operating during the first
quarter of 2009 included 11 rigs  under term contracts that earned standby revenues of
$10.7&nbsp;million. Rigs on standby earn a discounted dayrate and have
lower costs. Additionally, we recognized $6.6&nbsp;million of revenues during the first quarter of 2009
from the early termination of term contracts. Our average revenue per operating day was
$19,670 in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $18,900 in the first quarter of 2008. Our
consolidated net income for the first quarter of 2009 decreased by $61.2&nbsp;million or 79% as compared
to the first quarter of 2008. This decrease in consolidated net income was primarily due to our
contract drilling segment experiencing a significant decrease in the average number of rigs
operating as compared to the first quarter of 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our revenues, profitability and cash flows are highly dependent upon prevailing prices for
natural gas and, to a lesser extent, oil. During periods of improved commodity prices, the capital
spending budgets of oil and natural gas operators tend to expand, which generally results in
increased demand for our contract services. Conversely, in periods when these commodity prices
deteriorate, the demand for our contract services generally weakens and we experience downward
pressure on pricing for our services. During recent months, there has been a significant decline
in oil and natural gas prices. During this time there has also been a substantial deterioration in
the global economic environment. As part of this deterioration, there has been substantial
uncertainty in the capital markets and access to financing has been reduced. Due to these
conditions, many of our customers have been reducing or curtailing their drilling programs, which
has resulted in a decrease in demand for our services, as evidenced by the decline in our monthly
average rigs operating from 283 in October&nbsp;2008 to 92 in March&nbsp;2009. Furthermore, these factors
could result in certain of our customers experiencing an inability to pay suppliers, including us,
if they are not able to access capital to fund their operations. We are also highly impacted by
competition, the availability of excess equipment, labor issues and various other factors that
could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of
operations. Please see &#147;Risk Factors&#148; included as Item&nbsp;1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that the liquidity shown on our balance sheet as of March&nbsp;31, 2009, which includes
approximately $321&nbsp;million in working capital (including $192&nbsp;million in cash and cash equivalents)
and $162.5&nbsp;million available under our current $220&nbsp;million line of credit, together with cash
expected to be generated from operations, provides us with sufficient ability to fund our current
plans to build new equipment, make improvements to our existing equipment, expand into new regions,
pay cash dividends and survive the current downturn in our industry.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Commitments and Contingencies </I>&#151; As of March&nbsp;31, 2009, we maintained letters of credit in the
aggregate amount of $57.5&nbsp;million for the benefit of various insurance companies as collateral for
retrospective premiums and retained losses which could become payable under the terms of the
underlying insurance contracts. These letters of credit expire at various times during each
calendar year and are typically renewed annually. As of March&nbsp;31, 2009, no amounts had been drawn
under the letters of credit.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Description of Business </I>&#151; We conduct our contract drilling operations in Texas, New Mexico,
Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Montana,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and western Canada. As of March&nbsp;31, 2009,
we had approximately 350 marketable land-based drilling rigs. We provide pressure pumping services
to oil and natural gas operators primarily in the Appalachian Basin. These services consist
primarily of well stimulation and cementing for completion of new wells and remedial work on
existing wells. We provide drilling fluids, completion fluids and related services to oil and
natural gas operators offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and on land in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and
Louisiana. Drilling and completion fluids are used by oil and natural gas operators during the
drilling process to control pressure when drilling oil and natural gas wells. We also invest, on a
working interest basis, in oil and natural gas properties.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The North American land drilling industry has experienced periods of downturn in demand during
the last decade. During these periods, there have been substantially more drilling rigs available
than necessary to meet demand. As a result, drilling contractors have had difficulty sustaining
profit margins during the downturn periods.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to adverse effects that declines in demand could have on us, ongoing factors which
could continue to adversely affect utilization rates and pricing, even in an environment of high
oil and natural gas prices and increased drilling activity, include:

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On April&nbsp;29, 2009, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend on our common stock in the
amount of $0.05 per share to be paid on June&nbsp;30, 2009 to holders
of record as of June&nbsp;15, 2009.
The amount and timing of all future dividend payments, if any, is subject to the discretion of the
Board of Directors and will depend upon business conditions, results of operations, financial
condition, terms of our credit facilities and other factors.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On August&nbsp;1, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a stock buyback program (&#147;Program&#148;),
authorizing purchases of up to $250&nbsp;million of our common stock in open market or privately
negotiated transactions. No shares were purchased under the Program during the three months ended
March&nbsp;31, 2009. As of March&nbsp;31, 2009, we are authorized to purchase approximately $113&nbsp;million of
our outstanding common stock under the Program. Shares purchased under the Program have been
accounted for as treasury stock.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have an unsecured revolving line of credit with a maximum borrowing and letter of credit
capacity of $220&nbsp;million. Interest is paid on the outstanding principal amount of borrowings under
the revolving line of credit at a floating rate based on, at our election, LIBOR or a base rate.
The margin on LIBOR loans ranges from 3.00% to 4.00% and the margin on base rate loans ranges from
2.00% to 3.00%, based on our debt to capitalization ratio. Any outstanding borrowings must be
repaid at maturity on January&nbsp;31, 2012 and letters of credit may remain in effect up to six months
after such maturity date. As of March&nbsp;31, 2009, we had no borrowings outstanding under this
revolving line of credit. We had $57.5&nbsp;million in letters of credit outstanding at March&nbsp;31, 2009,
however, and as a result, we had available borrowing capacity of $162.5&nbsp;million at such date.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that the current level of cash, short-term investments and borrowing capacity
available under our current revolving line of credit, together with cash expected to be generated
from operations, should be sufficient to meet our current capital needs. From time to time,
acquisition opportunities are evaluated. The timing, size or success of any acquisition and the
associated capital commitments are unpredictable. Should opportunities for growth requiring
capital arise, we believe we would be able to satisfy these needs through a combination of working
capital, cash generated from operations, our existing credit facility or additional debt or equity
financing. However, there can be no assurance that such capital will be available on reasonable
terms, if at all.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Revenues and direct operating costs decreased in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the
first quarter of 2008 primarily as a result of a decrease in the number of operating days. The
decrease in operating days was due to decreased demand largely caused by lower commodity prices for
natural gas and oil. Average revenue per operating day and average direct operating costs per
operating day in the first quarter of 2009 were relatively flat compared to the first quarter of
2008. Our average rigs operating during the first quarter of 2009 included 11 rigs operating under
term contracts that earned standby revenues of $10.7&nbsp;million. Rigs on standby earn a discounted
dayrate since they do not have crews and have lower costs. Additionally, we recognized $6.6
million of revenues during the first quarter of 2009 from the early termination of drilling
contracts. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased in the first quarter of 2009
compared to the first quarter of 2008 primarily as a result of lower professional
fees. Significant

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our customers have increased their focus on the emerging development of unconventional
reservoirs in the Appalachian Basin and the larger jobs associated therewith. As a result of this
focus on unconventional reservoirs and declining commodity prices, we have experienced a decrease
in the number of smaller traditional pressure pumping jobs, which has contributed to the overall
decrease in the number of total jobs. Revenues and direct operating costs decreased primarily as a
result of a decrease in the number of total jobs. Increased average revenue per job was due to an
increase in the proportion of larger jobs to total jobs, which was driven by demand for services
associated with unconventional reservoirs. Average direct operating costs per job increased as a
result of increases in compensation, maintenance and the cost of materials used in our operations,
as well as an increase in larger jobs, which require significantly more materials to complete. In
anticipation of increased activity associated with the unconventional reservoirs in the Appalachian
Basin, we have added facilities, equipment and personnel over the past two years. Delays in the
development of these reservoirs and lower commodity prices have caused less demand for our pressure
pumping services than we had expected, negatively impacting the profitability of this business.
Significant capital expenditures have been incurred to add capacity, expand our areas of operation
and modify and upgrade existing equipment. The increase in depreciation expense is a result of
these capital expenditures.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In September&nbsp;2006, the FASB issued Statement No.&nbsp;157, <I>Fair Value Measurements </I>(&#147;FAS 157&#148;).
FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. The initial
application of FAS 157 was limited to financial assets and liabilities and became effective on
January&nbsp;1, 2008 for us. The impact of the initial application of FAS 157 was not material. On
January&nbsp;1, 2009, we adopted FAS 157 on a prospective basis for non-financial assets and liabilities
that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The application of FAS 157 to our
non-financial assets and liabilities is primarily limited to assets acquired and liabilities
assumed in a business combination, asset retirement obligations and asset impairments, including
goodwill and long-lived assets. This application of FAS 157 has not had a material impact to us.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In December&nbsp;2007, the FASB issued Statement No.&nbsp;141(R), <I>Business Combinations </I>(&#147;FAS 141(R)&#148;)
and Statement No.&nbsp;160, <I>Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment
of ARB No.&nbsp;51 </I>(&#147;FAS 160&#148;). FAS 141(R) is a revision of Statement No.&nbsp;141, <I>Business Combinations</I>,
and calls for significant changes from current practice in accounting for business combinations.
FAS 141(R) is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December&nbsp;15, 2008. FAS 160
amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a
subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. FAS 160 is effective for fiscal years
beginning on or after December&nbsp;15, 2008. Both FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 became effective for us on
January&nbsp;1, 2009. The application of FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 has not had a material impact to us.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Volatility of Oil and Natural Gas Prices and its Impact on Operations and Financial Condition</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our revenue, profitability, financial condition and rate of growth are substantially dependent
upon prevailing prices for natural gas and, to a lesser extent, oil. For many years, oil and
natural gas prices and markets have been extremely volatile. Prices are affected by market supply
and demand factors as well as international military, political and economic conditions, and the
ability of OPEC to set and maintain production and price targets. All of these factors are beyond
our control. During 2008, the monthly average market price of natural gas peaked in June at $13.06
per Mcf before rapidly declining to an average of $5.99 per Mcf in December. In March&nbsp;2009, the
average market price of natural gas declined further to $4.08 per Mcf. This has resulted in our
customers significantly reducing their drilling activities beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008
and continuing into 2009. This reduction in demand combined with the reactivation and construction
of new land drilling rigs in the United States during the last several years has resulted in excess
capacity compared to demand. As a result of these factors, our average number of rigs operating
has declined significantly. We expect oil and natural gas prices to continue to be volatile and to
affect our financial condition, operations and ability to access sources of capital. Continued low
market prices for natural gas will likely result in further decreases in demand for our drilling
rigs and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The North American land drilling industry has experienced downturns in demand during the last
decade. During these periods, there have been substantially more drilling rigs available than
necessary to meet demand. As a result, drilling contractors have had difficulty sustaining profit
margins and, at times, have incurred losses during the downturn periods.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We currently have exposure to interest rate market risk associated with any borrowings that we
have under our revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility calls for periodic
interest payments at a floating rate ranging from LIBOR plus 3.00% to 4.00% or at a base rate plus
2.00% to 3.00%. The applicable rate above LIBOR or the prime rate is based upon our debt to
capitalization ratio. As of March&nbsp;31, 2009, we had no borrowings outstanding under our credit
facility.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We conduct a portion of our business in Canadian dollars through our Canadian land-based
drilling operations. The exchange rate between Canadian dollars and U.S. dollars has fluctuated
during the last several years. If the value of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar
weakens, revenues and earnings of our Canadian operations will be reduced and the value of our
Canadian net assets will decline when they are translated to U.S. dollars. This currency rate risk
is not material to our results of operations or financial condition.

disclosed in the reports that we file with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC&#146;s rules and forms, and that
such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer (&#147;CEO&#148;) and Chief Financial Officer (&#147;CFO&#148;), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO,
we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the

limited to our filings with the SEC under the Exchange Act and the Securities Act of 1933.
&#147;Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations&#148; included in
Item&nbsp;2 of Part&nbsp;I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements which
are made pursuant to the &#147;safe harbor&#148; provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. These statements include, without limitation, statements relating to: liquidity;
financing of operations; continued volatility of oil and natural gas prices; source and sufficiency
of funds required for immediate capital needs and additional rig acquisitions (if further
opportunities arise); impact of inflation; and other matters. Our forward-looking statements can
be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historic or current facts and often
use words such as &#147;believes,&#148; &#147;budgeted,&#148; &#147;expects,&#148; &#147;estimates,&#148; &#147;project,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;could,&#148;

meaning. The forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses we make in
light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected
future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. Although we
believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can
give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and a variety of factors
could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated or expected results expressed
in or suggested by these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to
such differences include, but are not limited to, deterioration of global economic conditions,
declines in oil and natural gas prices that could adversely affect demand for our services and
their associated effect on day rates, rig utilization and planned capital expenditures, excess availability of land drilling rigs, including as a result
of the reactivation or construction of new land drilling rigs, adverse industry conditions, adverse
credit and equity market conditions, difficulty in integrating acquisitions, demand for oil and
natural gas, shortages of rig equipment and ability to retain management and field personnel.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On April&nbsp;28, 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company granted
performance unit awards to certain executive officers under the Company&#146;s 2005 Long-Term Incentive
Plan (the &#147;2005 Plan&#148;) for the performance period beginning April&nbsp;1, 2009 and ending March&nbsp;31, 2012
(the &#147;2009 Performance Units&#148;). The 2009 Performance Units provide an opportunity for those
executive officers to receive a cash payment upon the achievement of certain performance goals
established by the Company during a specified period. The performance metrics for the 2009
Performance Units are tied to the Company&#146;s total shareholder return for the performance period as
compared to total shareholder return for a peer group determined by the Compensation Committee.
Total shareholder return for the Company will be measured based on $100 invested in the Company&#146;s
common stock on the first day of the performance period, with dividends reinvested. The recipients
will receive a base payment if the Company&#146;s total shareholder return is at or above the
25<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">th</SUP> percentile but less than the 50<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">th</SUP> percentile, two times the base if at
or above the 50<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">th</SUP> percentile but less than the 75<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">th</SUP> percentile and four times
the base if at the 75<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">th</SUP> percentile or higher. The base amounts for Mark Siegel, Douglas
Wall, John Vollmer and Kenneth Berns are $625,000, $468,750, $312,500 and $312,500, respectively.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No cash payments will be made in respect of the 2009 Performance Units unless the Company has
positive total shareholder return as of the end of the performance period; except, that if during
the two year period ending March&nbsp;31, 2014 the Company&#146;s total shareholder return for any 30
consecutive day period equals or exceeds 18% on an annualized basis from April&nbsp;1, 2009 through the
end of such 30 consecutive day period, then cash payments, if any, will be made as set forth above
based on the Company&#146;s total shareholder return relative to the peer group as of March&nbsp;31, 2012.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The foregoing description of the 2009 Performance Units does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to (i)&nbsp;the 2005 Plan, as amended, which is listed as
Exhibits 10.8, 10.9 and 10.10 to the Company&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2008, and incorporated herein by reference and (ii)&nbsp;the form of award agreement for
the 2009 Performance Units, including terms and conditions, that will be filed by the Company with
the SEC when the award agreements governing the awards are entered into between the Company and
each of the executive officers referenced above.
