| 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 four and five percent from the third to the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011. Quarterly average rig revenue per day is expected to increase between $200 and $300 per day from the third to the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011. Including only rigs that are already under fixed commitments, we expect to have an average of 145 rigs under term contract in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011 and an average of 135 in fiscal 2012. |
| H&P’s U.S. Land Fleet Activity ** Includes completed new builds that were waiting on customers and 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 fourth fiscal quarter of 2011 is expected to be roughly flat as compared to the third fiscal quarter of 2011. Average rig margin per day is expected to decrease by ten to 15 percent during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011 as compared to the third fiscal quarter. |
| H&P’s International Land Operations Of the 24 rigs assigned to international operations, 18 are currently active including nine under long-term contracts. Additionally, we have received a contract for a fourth FlexRig in Bahrain with the rig scheduled to begin operations during the second fiscal quarter of 2012. Total revenue days during the fourth fiscal quarter are expected to increase by ten to 15 percent sequentially from the third fiscal quarter of 2011. Average rig margin per day is expected to increase by about 20 to 25 percent in the fourth fiscal quarter as compared to the third fiscal quarter of 2011. |
