Market Trends Favor H&P Drilling today involves more complex well designs directed at oil and liquid rich plays. Customers continue to focus on efficiency and technology to achieve lower total well costs. Major customers are increasingly proactive in terms of safety and environmental protection. The U.S. new build replacement cycle continues...

The New Build Replacement Cycle Continues Industry is undersupplied with high performance AC drive rigs With reportedly over 150 mechanical rigs retired in 2011, it is increasingly clear that older rigs are not well suited for this more complex drilling environment High-efficiency AC drive new builds continue to replace old rigs With 71 new build contracts announced since January 2011, H&P continues to lead the replacement effort

H&P’s U.S. Land Operations Industry rig counts and spot pricing remain strong. Driven primarily by incremental new builds, we expect total revenue days in the U.S. land segment to increase by approximately five percent from the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011 to the first fiscal quarter of 2012. Quarterly average rig revenue per day is expected to increase between $200 and $300 per day from the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011 to the first fiscal quarter of 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 Global Fleet Under Term Contract

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 first fiscal quarter of 2012 is expected to decrease by approximately five percent as compared to the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011. Average rig margin per day is expected to be roughly flat during the first fiscal quarter of 2012 as compared to the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011.

H&P’s International Land Operations Of the 25 rigs assigned to international operations, 19 are currently active including nine under long-term contracts. Additionally, a fourth FlexRig on a term contract is in transit to Bahrain with the rig scheduled to begin operations during the second fiscal quarter of 2012. Total revenue days during the first fiscal quarter of 2012 are expected to increase by approximately six percent sequentially from the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011. Average rig margin per day is expected to decrease by approximately ten percent in the first fiscal quarter of 2012 as compared to the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011.

H&P’s New Build Advantages We have been improving and honing the process for over 10 years, prompting our assertion that we build a better rig for less Safety is our first priority, followed by a relentless focus on strong execution and performance in the field Exceptional fleet uniformity Extensive collaboration with customers and suppliers A strong organizational orientation to consistent, repeatable, field execution

The FlexRig Difference: Key Advantages Increased drilling productivity and reliability Variable frequency (AC) drives with increased precision and measurability Computerized electronic driller that more precisely controls weight on bit, rotation and pressure Designed to move quickly from well to well Accelerated well programs and NPV gains A significantly enhanced and safer workplace Minimized impact to the environment Total well cost savings even at premium dayrates H&P’s FlexRig Advantage

Performance is Not Only About Better Rigs It’s also about: People Safety Experience Training Culture Support Structure Processes Organizational Network Maintenance Supply Chain
