Certain statements and information contained in this presentation (and oral statements made regarding the subjects of this presentation) constitute “forward- looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements typically include words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “foresee,” “intend,” “our ability to,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “should,” “tends to,” “target,” “will,” “would,” or other similar words, or negatives of such words, which are generally not historical in nature. Such forward-looking statements specifically include statements involving future distributions to shareholders; contract dayrate amounts; future operational performance and cashflow; backlog; revenue efficiency levels; client contract opportunities; estimated duration of client contracts; future contract commencement dates and locations; construction, timing and delivery of newbuild drillships; capital expenditures; market conditions; cost adjustments; estimated rig availability; new rig commitments; the expected time and number of rigs in a shipyard for repairs, maintenance, enhancement or construction; expected direct rig operating costs; shore based support costs; selling, general and administrative expenses; income tax expense; expected amortization of deferred revenue and deferred mobilization expenses; and expected depreciation and interest expense for our existing credit facilities and senior bonds. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on us. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate. In particular, our forward looking statements regarding future distributions to shareholders and share repurchases are subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors, additional laws of Luxemburg, and the funding of any such distribution or repurchase is heavily dependent on our ability to achieve projected cashflows, which could be materially impacted by numerous factors, including those listed below. There can be no assurance that we will make distributions or share repurchases within the period or in the amount forecasted or at all. All comments concerning our expectations for future revenue and operating results are based on our forecasts for our existing operations and do not include the potential impact of any future acquisitions. Our forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties (many of which are beyond our control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations, plans or projections. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected cashflows and other projections in our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: our ability to secure and maintain drilling contracts, including possible cancellation or suspension of drilling contracts as a result of mechanical difficulties, performance, market changes, regulatory or other approvals, or other reasons; changes in worldwide rig supply and demand, competition and technology; risks inherent to shipyard rig construction, repair, maintenance or enhancement, including delays; levels of offshore drilling activity and general market conditions; unplanned downtime and other risks associated with offshore rig operations, including unscheduled repairs or maintenance; governmental action, strikes, public health threats, civil unrest and political and economic uncertainties; relocations, severe weather or hurricanes; actual contract commencement dates; environmental or other liabilities, risks or losses; governmental regulatory, legislative and permitting requirements affecting drilling operations; our ability to attract and retain skilled personnel on commercially reasonable terms; impact of potential licensing or patent litigation; terrorism, piracy and military action; and the outcome of litigation, legal proceedings, investigations or other claims or contract disputes. For additional information regarding known material risk factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our projected results, please see our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Annual Report on Form 20-F and Current Reports on Form 6-K. These documents are available through our website at www.pacificdrilling.com or through the SEC’s Electronic Data and Analysis Retrieval System at www.sec.gov. Existing and prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Footnotes 26 1. Closing stock price of $6.72 as of Nov. 3, 2014 and 217.4m shares outstanding. 2. As of November 1, 2014. 3. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, costs from debt refinancing, loss of hire insurance, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Please refer to the reconciliation attached to this presentation of net income to EBITDA along with a definition and statement indicating why management believes the non-GAAP measure provides useful information for investors. 4. EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA divided by contract drilling revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by contract drilling revenue. Management uses this operational metric to track company results and believes that this measure provides additional information that consolidates the impact of our operating efficiency as well as the operating and support costs incurred in achieving the revenue performance. 5. Revenue efficiency is defined as actual contractual dayrate revenue (excluding mobilization fees, upgrade reimbursements and other revenue sources) divided by the maximum amount of contractual dayrate revenue that could have been earned during a certain period. 6. Utilization data from IHS-Petrodata through Sep 30, 2014. “2007-Current” adjusted to remove impact of Ocean Courage and Petrobras 10,000 in 2009, which were subject to construction finance issues and unable to work. 7. Rig data from IHS-Petrodata as of November 3, 2014. Rig specification analysis & classification index by Pacific Drilling. Rig specification analysis includes weighted average of characteristics which are important to industry clients, including DP class, derrick capacity, top drive capacity, size of main rotary table, number and size of mud pumps, liquid mud capacity, oil capacity, brine capacity, total liquids volume, automation capabilities, riser tensioner capacity, size of quarters, variable deck load, number of cranes and BOP capacity. 8. Rig data from IHS-Petrodata as of November 3, 2014. Analysis by Pacific Drilling using most recent well depth data available for each rig. 9. Rig data from IHS-Petrodata as of October 31, 2014. Analysis by Pacific Drilling. Priced option exercises, sublets and contracts for less than 1 year in duration not included. 10. Supply data from IHS-Petrodata as of Sep. 30, 2014. Demand analysis by Pacific Drilling as of July 2014. Both are weighted by the portion of the year during which either the supply is available or the demand exists. Demand projections should be regarded as our general estimate of forecasted market conditions. Our projections are derived from internal analysis and include uncertainty. Our internal analysis incorporates factors including, but not limited to, known tenders existing in the marketplace, potential future tenders as projected by IHS-Petrodata, perceptions of operator intent derived through marketing discussions, news articles regarding political conditions and potential regulatory developments in deepwater-active countries, and presentations by peers, deepwater operators, and analysts. The numbers presented on this slide correspond to the range between our ‘downside case’ and ‘base case’. 11. Data from IHS-Petrodata as of October 31, 2014. Analysis by Pacific Drilling. 12. We will have access to $100.0 million available under our SSCF and $150.0 million available under our new 2014 Revolving Credit Facility, provided that satisfactory drilling contracts are signed for Pacific Meltem and Pacific Zonda in accordance with terms under the SSCF and 2014 Revolving Credit Facility, respectively.

EBITDA Reconciliation 30 Appendix EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flow from operations or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and our calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. EBITDA is included herein because it is used by the company to measure its operations and is intended to exclude charges or credits of a non-routine nature that would detract from an understanding of our operations. Management believes that EBITDA presents useful information to investors regarding the company's operating performance during the third quarter of 2014.
