Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation Basis of presentation — The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidating interest of a joint venture (collectively referred to herein as “we,” “us,” “our,” “ours” and like terms). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. conducts its business operations through its wholly-owned subsidiaries and has no employees or independent operations. Certain immaterial prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The U.S. dollar is the reporting currency and functional currency for most of our operations except certain of our foreign subsidiaries, which use their local currencies as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. The effects of these translation adjustments are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe 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 recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the information in conformity with GAAP have been included. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, as presented herein, was derived from our audited consolidated balance sheet but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (our “Annual Report”). The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report. Restricted cash — Restricted cash includes amounts restricted as cash collateral for the issuance of standby letters of credit. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash reported within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of such amounts shown in the unaudited condensed statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards — In November 2023, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements and enhance disclosures about significant segment expenses. We adopted this new accounting pronouncement effective January 1, 2024 and expanded our consolidated financial statement disclosures in order to comply with the update. See Note 14 for details. Recently Issued Accounting Standards — In December 2023, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to improve income tax disclosure requirements. We plan to adopt this accounting pronouncement during fiscal year 2025, with the first disclosure enhancements to be reflected in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact this pronouncement will have on our disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance expanding disclosure requirements related to certain income statement expenses, which requires public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on our disclosures.
