Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;). These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements
relating to: liquidity; revenue and cost expectations and backlog; financing of operations; oil and natural gas prices; source and sufficiency of funds required for building new equipment, upgrading existing equipment and additional acquisitions (if
opportunities arise); impact of inflation; demand for our services; competition; equipment availability; government regulation; debt service obligations; and other matters. Our forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do
not relate strictly to historical or current facts and often use words such as &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;budgeted,&#148; &#147;continue,&#148; &#147;could,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148;

words and expressions of similar 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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking

performance or achievements to be materially different from actual future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties also include those set forth under &#147;Risk Factors,&#148; beginning on

the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of&nbsp;us&nbsp;(the &#147;SSE merger&#148;). Under the merger agreement, we will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of SSE (&#147;SSE common stock&#148;) in exchange
for approximately 49.6&nbsp;million shares of our common stock, subject to certain downward adjustments set forth in the merger agreement. SSE&nbsp;provides contract drilling, pressure pumping and oilfield rental services in many of the most active
oil and natural gas plays onshore in the United States.&nbsp;SSE&nbsp;owns a fleet of 40 AC drilling rigs, approximately 93% of which are pad capable, including 28 fit-for purpose PeakeRigs&#153;.&nbsp;The remainder of SSE&#146;s&nbsp;rig fleet
includes&nbsp;51 SCR&nbsp;rigs. Additionally,&nbsp;SSE&nbsp;owns approximately 500,000 horsepower of modern, efficient fracturing equipment located in the&nbsp;Anadarko Basin&nbsp;and&nbsp;Eagle Ford Shale. The&nbsp;SSE&nbsp;oilfield rentals

<TD>On December&nbsp;22, 2016, we paid a dividend of $0.02 per share of outstanding common stock to our stockholders of record at the close of business on December&nbsp;8, 2016. Any future decisions to pay dividends on our common stock will be at
the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on the business conditions, results of operations, financial condition, terms of our debt agreements and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant. The merger agreement
prohibits us (unless consented to in advance by SSE, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) from paying dividends to holders of our common stock in excess of $0.02 per share per quarter until the earlier of the
effective time of the SSE merger and the termination of the merger agreement in accordance with its terms. </TD></TR></TABLE>

statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks described in this prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated by reference. If any of these risks occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation could be

supplement, certain of which are beyond our control and may prevent, delay or otherwise materially adversely affect completion of the merger. Notably, the completion of the SSE merger is conditioned on receiving the approval of both our and
SSE&#146;s respective stockholders. At any time prior to the receipt of such approvals, each of our board of directors and the board of directors of SSE may change its recommendation with respect to the SSE merger, in each case in response to a
superior proposal or an intervening event if the applicable board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel, that, among other things, the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties
under applicable law and complies with certain other specified conditions. Consequently, we cannot predict whether and when these conditions will be satisfied. Any delay in completing the SSE merger could cause the combined company not to realize
some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve if the SSE merger is successfully completed within its expected time frame. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B><I>Current Patterson-UTI

the SSE merger, without giving effect to the issuance of our common stock in this offering. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Our stockholders currently have the right to vote for
our directors and on other matters affecting our company. Each of our stockholders will remain a stockholder of our company with a percentage ownership of the combined company that will be smaller than the stockholder&#146;s percentage of our

the merger agreement. In addition, while our board of directors has the ability, in certain circumstances, to change its recommendation of the transaction to our stockholders, we cannot terminate the merger agreement to accept an alternative

their drilling contracts and affect the fair market value of its assets, which in turn could result in impairments of assets. A sustained period of low prices or further decline in oil and natural gas prices could adversely impact the combined

limitation on the amount of an NOL that may be used to offset taxable income when a corporation has undergone an &#147;ownership change&#148; (as determined under Section 382). Determining the limitations under Section 382 is technical and highly
complex. An ownership change generally occurs if one or more shareholders (or groups of shareholders) who are each deemed to own at least 5% of the corporation&#146;s stock increase their ownership by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest
ownership percentage within a rolling three-year period.&nbsp;In the event that an ownership change has occurred&#151;or were to occur&#151;with respect to a corporation following its recognition of an NOL, utilization of such NOL would be subject

not undergo an ownership change as a result of this offering taking into account other changes in ownership of our stock occurring within the relevant three-year period described above, including the SSE merger if it is completed. If we were to
undergo an ownership change, the combined company may be prevented from fully utilizing our NOLs at the time of the ownership change prior to their expiration. Future changes in stock ownership or future regulatory changes could also limit the
combined company&#146;s ability to utilize SSE&#146;s or our NOLs. To the extent the combined company is not able to offset future taxable income with SSE&#146;s or our NOLs, the combined company&#146;s net income and cash flows may be adversely

December&nbsp;31, 2015, related to SSE&#146;s review of the accuracy and support of certain assumptions related to property and equipment impairment assessments, which impacts its analysis of the recoverability of the carrying value of property and
equipment. As of September&nbsp;30, 2016, SSE&#146;s management, with the participation of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures
pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation and because of the material weakness noted above, SSE&#146;s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that SSE&#146;s disclosure controls
and procedures were not effective as of December&nbsp;31, 2015. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">SSE is taking specific steps to remediate the material weakness that it identified;
however, the material weakness will not be remediated until the necessary controls have been implemented and it has determined the controls to be operating effectively. Because the reliability of the internal control process requires repeatable
execution, the successful remediation of this material weakness will require review and evidence of effectiveness prior to concluding that the controls are effective. In addition, SSE may need to take additional measures to address the material
weakness or modify the remediation steps, and it cannot be certain that the measures it has taken, and expects to take, to improve its internal controls will be sufficient to address the issues identified, to ensure that its internal controls are
effective or to ensure that the identified material weakness will not result in a material misstatement of its annual or interim consolidated financial statements. Implementing any appropriate changes to SSE&#146;s internal controls may distract
SSE&#146;s officers and employees from other management duties and require material cost to implement new process or modify its existing processes. If SSE is unable to correct the material weakness or deficiencies in internal controls in a timely

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B><I>SSE is subject to continuing contingent tax liabilities of CHK following the spin-off. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Under the Code and the related rules and regulations, each corporation that was a member of CHK&#146;s consolidated tax reporting group during any
taxable period or portion of any taxable period ending on or before the effective time of the spin-off is jointly and severally liable for the federal income tax liability of the entire consolidated tax reporting group for that taxable period. SSE
has entered into a tax sharing agreement with CHK that allocates the responsibility for prior year taxes of CHK&#146;s consolidated tax reporting group between SSE and CHK and its subsidiaries. However, if CHK were unable to pay, SSE nevertheless
could be required to pay the entire amount of such taxes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B><I>SSE&#146;s tax sharing agreement limits its ability to take certain actions and may require SSE to
indemnify CHK for significant tax liabilities which cannot be precisely quantified at this time. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Under the terms of SSE&#146;s tax sharing
agreement with CHK, SSE generally is responsible for all taxes attributable to its business, whether accruing before, on or after the date of the spin-off, and CHK generally is responsible for any taxes arising from the spin-off or certain related
transactions that are imposed on SSE, CHK or its other subsidiaries. Although CHK generally will be responsible for any taxes arising from the spin-off, SSE would be responsible for any such taxes to the extent such taxes result from certain actions
or failures to act by SSE that occur after June&nbsp;30, 2014, the effective date of the tax sharing agreement. SSE&#146;s liabilities under the tax sharing agreement could have a material adverse effect on SSE. At this time, SSE cannot precisely
quantify the amount of liabilities it may have under the tax sharing agreement and there can be no assurances as to their final amounts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">In
addition, in the tax sharing agreement SSE covenanted not to take any action, or fail to take any action, after the effective date of the tax sharing agreement, which action or failure to act is inconsistent with the spin-off qualifying under
Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code. As a result, SSE might determine to continue to operate certain of its business operations for the foreseeable future even if a sale or discontinuance of such business might otherwise have been
advantageous. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B><I>Potential indemnification liabilities to CHK pursuant to a master separation agreement could materially adversely affect SSE. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">SSE&#146;s master separation agreement with CHK provides for, among other things, provisions governing the relationship between SSE and CHK resulting
from the spin-off. Among other things, the master separation agreement provides for indemnification obligations designed to make SSE financially responsible for substantially all liabilities that may exist relating to its business activities
incurred after the spin-off. If SSE is required to indemnify CHK under the circumstances set forth in the master separation agreement, SSE may be subject to substantial liabilities. Additionally, in certain circumstances, SSE will be prohibited from
making an indemnity claim until it first seeks an insurance recovery. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B><I>In connection with SSE&#146;s separation from CHK, CHK indemnified SSE for certain
liabilities. However, there can be no assurance that the indemnities will be sufficient to insure SSE against the full amount of such liabilities, or that CHK&#146;s ability to satisfy its indemnification obligation will not be impaired in the
future. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Pursuant to the master separation agreement and tax sharing agreement, CHK agreed to indemnify SSE for certain liabilities. However,
third parties could seek to hold SSE responsible for any of the liabilities that CHK has agreed to retain, and there can be no assurance that the indemnity from CHK will be sufficient to protect SSE against the full amount of such liabilities, or
that CHK will be able to fully satisfy its indemnification obligations. Moreover, even if SSE ultimately succeeds in recovering from CHK any amounts for which SSE is held liable, SSE may be temporarily required to bear these losses. If CHK is unable
to satisfy its indemnification obligations, the underlying liabilities could have a material adverse effect on SSE&#146;s business, financial condition and results of operations. </P>

when such foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity is acting as an intermediary), unless (i)&nbsp;in the case of a foreign financial institution, such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to withhold on

will be identified and their compensation described in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may have agreements with the

in compliance with applicable law, underwriters, brokers or dealers may engage in transactions that stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at levels above those that might otherwise prevail in the open market. Specifically,
underwriters, brokers or dealers may over-allot in connection with offerings, creating a short position in the securities for their own accounts. For the purpose of covering a syndicate short position or stabilizing the price of the securities, the
underwriters, brokers or dealers may place bids for the securities or effect purchases of the securities in the open market. Finally, the underwriters may impose a penalty whereby selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other brokers or
dealers for distribution of the securities in offerings may be reclaimed by the syndicate if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. These
activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market, and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. </P>
