| H&P New Builds Total of 45 new builds announced during last twelve months Delivering new FlexRigs at the rate of three per month since January 2011 Encouraging conversations continue... |
| What is a “New Build” Land Rig? New – having recently come into existence, of dissimilar origin (as compared to old or existing), and of superior quality. Merriam-Webster Dictionary |
| How Does H&P Define a “New Build” Land Rig? A new build rig consists of all new structures and equipment for the purpose of: Eliminating legacy issues Achieving Safety-by-Design Maximizing drilling efficiency Improvement of ergonomics for rig site personnel Packaging of components for enhanced mobility |
| Lean Manufacturing New Electrical Systems Test Assembly and Outfitting Unitizing Packages Fabricating New Structures Processing Raw Materials Building a New FlexRig Commissioning / Delivery |

| H&P’s U.S. Land Operations The major shift across the industry towards oil and liquids rich plays is increasingly employing unconventional drilling techniques to conventional reservoirs. Basins that were historically characterized by shallow, vertical well paths are now seeing a greater number of drilling efforts apply horizontal well paths and longer lateral sections. Driven by incremental new builds, we expect total revenue days in the U.S. land segment to increase between five and seven percent from the second to the third fiscal quarter of 2011. Quarterly average rig revenue per day is expected to increase between $300 and $400 per day from the second to the third fiscal quarter of 2011. Including only rigs that are already under fixed commitments, we expect to have an average of 133 rigs under term contract in fiscal 2011 and 104 in fiscal 2012. |
| H&P’s U.S. Land Fleet Activity ** Includes delayed new builds (in red) which generated revenue but did not generate revenue days. * Active rigs on term (in blue) generated both revenue and revenue days. |
| H&P’s Offshore Operations Seven of the Company’s nine offshore platform rigs remain active, including two under long-term contracts. The number of revenue days during the third fiscal quarter of 2011 is expected to decrease approximately two percent sequentially. Average rig margin per day is expected to decrease by three to four percent during the third fiscal quarter of 2011 as compared to the second fiscal quarter. Segment operating income during the third fiscal quarter of 2011 will be negatively impacted by approximately $1 million (as compared to the prior quarter) associated with less management contract revenue. |
| H&P’s International Land Operations Segment operating income for the international segment during the third fiscal quarter is expected to be negatively impacted by disruptions in Tunisia and Argentina. Total revenue days during the third fiscal quarter are expected to increase by two to three percent sequentially from the second fiscal quarter of 2011. Average rig margin per day is expected to decrease by about 25 percent in the third fiscal quarter as compared to the second fiscal quarter of 2011. |
