Efficiency Efficiency improves well economics Patterson-UTI has the scale, processes, people and equipment necessary for efficient operations Technology Technology helps to improve efficiency Patterson-UTI is a technology leader in oilfield services U.S. Oilfield Services Scale Scale helps to improve efficiency Patterson-UTI is the only company with market leading positions in the United States in contract drilling, pressure pumping and directional drilling Financially Flexible Strong Balance Sheet Scalable business structure Patterson-UTI is a Leader: Why Invest in Patterson-UTI Energy?

Patterson-UTI: A Leader in Oilfield Services Efficiency Efficiency improves well economics. People Crews receive extensive onboarding and ongoing training to ensure competency and refine operating and safety procedures. Processes Patterson-UTI utilizes industry leading management systems and field audit processes to maximize reliability and provide continuous learning and feedback process. Innovation Patterson-UTI is a leader in the super-spec rig market. Super-spec rigs, modern pressure pumping fleets and comprehensive directional drilling provide critical path services for E&P companies.

People: Personnel Development Working incident free is not just a priority to us — it's our way of life. Operational excellence is our minimum standard — excellence is our way of life. Development of our people is a core value — continuous learning is our way of life.

Process: Management System Management System allows for continuous updates on Policies & Priorities Comprehensive Rig and Frac Fleet audits ensure uptime, preventative maintenance, continuous improvement. Incident Management System allow data for Reporting and tracking to completion of Incidents and Management of Change (MOC).

Innovative Rig Designs: APEX-XK® Able to walk x/y with full set-back of pipe in mast Walking system integrated into substructure Blowout Preventer remains upright in substructure while walking Drawworks on rig floor allows more clearance under rig for walking Advanced environmental spill control integrated into drilling floor

Innovative Rig Designs: APEX-XC™ Standard with higher-torque top drive Enhanced setback capacity for efficiently drilling longer laterals Increased clearance for walking over and around wellheads on a pad HPU, accumulator and walking system integrated in substructure for efficient rig moves and rig walks Integrated walking system with auto-walk and auto-steering functionality Increased mud pump horsepower

Innovative Rig Upgrades: Significantly upgrading seven APEX 1000® rigs to APEX-XK® rigs. The first four upgrades have been completed and delivered to the field, and the remaining three are all under contract and are expected to go to work over the next few months. Upgrading two APEX® rigs to APEX-PK™ with a box-on-box substructure and integrated walking system for enhanced performance on multi-well pads. Upgraded rigs will have substantially all of the capabilities of a newbuild, but at a much lower upgrade cost than a newbuild.

Innovative Rig Technology: Warrior 500 Ton AC Top Drive HIGH PERFORMANCE - 50,000 ft-lbs continuous torque rating REDUNDANT POWER DELIVERY - Four independent power pathways from the AC bus to the top drive quill - No single-point sources of failure from generator to drill pipe REVOLUTIONARY POWER TRANSMISSION - No gear case - No power transmission lubrication SERVICEABILITY - Most major modules are interchangeable without specialized technicians - Comprehensive advanced diagnostics SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY - Comprehensive feedback of pipe-handler functions - Enhanced user interface and top drive control functions OPTIONAL INTEGRATED CASING DRIVE - Casing Running Tool not required

Innovative Pressure Pumping Technology: Bi-Fuel Engines can burn a fuel mix comprised of up to 70% natural gas Comparable torque and horsepower to an all diesel engine Reduces operating costs by lowering fuel costs Good for environmental sustainability

Innovative: Performance Data Analytics Real-time innovative data analysis system collects and analyzes data across region, pad and rigs for performance by formation, section, crew, etc. Ability to analyze equipment and maintenance data across rigs and vendors to benchmark performance and maximize reliability Provide comprehensive performance reports that can be shared across the Company to foster a best-in-class culture focused on technology and operational excellence

Innovative: Centralized Logistics Center Efficient procurement and logistics of sand and chemicals is important to being successful in hydraulic fracturing. Centralized logistics center includes: central scheduling and tracking software 24/7 dispatch personnel smart phone apps in the field Currently operational in Texas Expanding to Mid-Con and Appalachia

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures (1) Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental financial measure not defined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expense (including impairment of goodwill). We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides to both management and investors additional information with respect to both the performance of our fundamental business activities and our ability to meet our capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to the U.S. GAAP measure of net income (loss).
