THE COMPANY
The Company is a leading provider of contract drilling services in the
United States. The Company's drilling operations are currently concentrated in
the prolific oil and natural gas producing basins of Oklahoma and Texas. The
Company's rig fleet consists of 82 land drilling rigs with effective depth
capabilities ranging from 4,000 to 25,000 feet. The Company also provides
drilling and pressure
3
5
pumping services in the Appalachian Basis. The Company's corporate
headquarters currently is located at 485 Devon Park Drive, Suite 112, Wayne,
Pennsylvania 19087, Telephone: (610) 971-9600.
SELLING STOCKHOLDER
This Prospectus constitutes a part of the Registration Statement filed
by the Company pursuant to registration rights granted to the Selling
Stockholder in an Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 31, 1996 (the
"Agreement") by and between the Company and Quarles Drilling Corporation
("Quarles"). The Agreement was entered into in conjunction with the Company's
acquisition of the contract drilling assets and certain operations of Quarles.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company will pay all expenses of
registering the Shares under the Securities Act, including, without limitation,
all registration and filing fees, printing expenses and the fees and
disbursements of the counsel and accountants for the Company. The Agreement
also provides that the Company will indemnify the Selling Stockholder against
certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or
to contribute to payments the Selling Stockholder may be required to make in
respect thereof. The Selling Stockholder will pay all fees and disbursements
of its counsel and all brokerage fees, commissions and expenses, if any,
applicable to the Shares sold by it.
As of May 23, 1997, the Selling Stockholder owned 256,175 shares of
Common Stock, constituting 6.6% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock on
such date. This number of shares of Common Stock excludes an indeterminate
number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued to the Selling Stockholder
on or before June 30, 1997. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Agreement, the Selling Stockholder is entitled to receive additional shares of
Common Stock in the event the market price of the Common Stock is less than
$31.69 per share on the earlier of June 30, 1997, or the date a registration
statement covering the resale of the Common Stock issued to the Selling
Stockholder is declared effective. The number of additional shares will be
equal to a number of shares sufficient to provide the Selling Stockholder with
$8.1 million of Common Stock based on an average market price of the Common
Stock over the 10 days prior to such date, calculated in accordance with the
terms of the Agreement. In the event the average market price of the Common
Stock is greater than $31.69 per share on such date, the Selling Stockholder is
required to return a number of shares of Common Stock having a value (at such
market price) equal to one-half of the amount by which the market price of the
shares (at such market price) initially issued is greater than $8.1 million.
Because the Selling Stockholder may offer all or a portion of the Shares
pursuant to this Prospectus, no estimate can be given as to the number of
shares of Common Stock that will be held by the Selling Stockholder upon
termination of any sales.
Don Quarles, the president and chief executive officer of the Selling
Stockholder, is currently employed by the Company as a consultant.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Shares may be sold pursuant to the methods described below from
time to time for a period of 120 days from the date hereof by or for the
account of the Selling Stockholder on the AMEX or otherwise at prices and on
terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price, or
in negotiated transactions. The Shares may be sold by any one or more of the
following methods: (a) a block trade (which may involve crosses) in which the
broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the securities as agent but
may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the
transaction; (b) purchases by a broker or dealer as principal; (c) ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits
purchasers; and (d) privately negotiated transactions. The Selling Stockholder
may effect such transactions by selling Shares through broker-dealers, and such
4
6
broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of commissions from the
Selling Stockholder (which commissions will not exceed those customary in the
types of transactions involved). The Selling Stockholder and any
broker-dealers that participate in the distribution of the Shares may be deemed
to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection
with such sales, and any profit on the sale of Shares by it and any fees and
commissions received by any such broker-dealers may be deemed to be
underwriting discounts and commissions.
At the time a particular offering of Common Stock is made hereunder,
to the extent required by law, a Prospectus Supplement will be distributed
which will set forth the amount of Common Stock being offered and the terms of
the offering, including the purchase price, the name or names of any dealers or
agents, the purchase price paid for Common Stock purchased from the Selling
Stockholder and any items constituting compensation from the Selling
Stockholder.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On January 27, 1997, pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Asset
Purchase Agreement dated as of December 31, 1996 (the "Asset Purchase
Agreement"), the Company acquired the contract drilling assets of Quarles
Drilling Corporation (Quarles) for $16.2 million, consisting of $8.1 million
and 256,175 shares of Common Stock having a value at the time the agreement was
negotiated of $8.1 million. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded
with advances under the Company's revolving line of credit of $4.1 million and
a $4.0 million advance pursuant to a new bank term loan. The term loan bore
interest at the bank's prime rate and was secured by a pledge of certain of the
Company's accounts receivable and inventory. Under the terms of the Asset
Purchase Agreement, Quarles is entitled to receive additional shares of Common
Stock in the event the average market price (as defined in the Asset Purchase
Agreement) of the Common Stock on the earlier of (i) June 30, 1997, or (ii) the
date on which a registration statement covering the resale of the Common Stock
issued to Quarles is declared effective, is less than $31.69 per share. The
number of additional shares will be equal to a number of shares sufficient to
provide Quarles with $8.1 million of Common Stock based on the average market
price of the Common Stock on such date. In the event the average market price
of the Common Stock is greater than $31.69 per share on such date, Quarles is
required to return a number of shares of Common Stock having a value (at such
average market price) equal to one-half of the amount by which the average
market price of the shares initially issued is greater than $8.1 million. On
April 11, 1997, the Company repaid in full the $4.0 million term loan. The
acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method, and Quarles' operating
results since January 27, 1997, have been consolidated with the operating
results of the Company.
The unaudited pro forma condensed statement of income assumes that the
acquisition of Quarles occurred on January 1, 1997.
The pro forma statements may not be indicative of the results that
actually would have occurred if the acquisition had occurred on the dates
indicated or which may be obtained in the future. The pro forma financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes of Quarles Drilling Company and the pro forma financial statements
included in UTI's Form 8-KA dated April 14, 1997, UTI's Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and UTI's financial statements
and notes contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996, all of which are incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Under Delaware law, a corporation may include provisions in its
certificate of incorporation that will relieve its directors of monetary
liability for breaches of their fiduciary duty to the corporation, except under
certain circumstances, including a breach of the director's duty of loyalty,
acts or omissions of the director not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, the approval of an
improper payment of a dividend or an improper purchase by the corporation of
stock or any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. The Company's amended Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
that the Company's directors are not liable to the Company or its stockholders
for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty, subject to the
described exceptions specified by Delaware law.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law grants to the
Company the power to indemnify each officer and director of the Company against
liabilities and expenses incurred by reason of the fact that he is or was an
officer or director of the Company if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The amended By-laws of
the Company provide for indemnification of each officer and director of the
Company to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also empowers the
Company to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or
was an officer or director of the Company against liability asserted against or
incurred by him in any such capacity, whether or not the Company would have the
power to indemnify such officer or director against such liability under the
provisions of Section 145. The Company does not maintain a directors' and
officers' liability policy for such purposes.

As permitted by Item 601(b)(4)(iii)(A) of Regulation S-K, the Company
has not filed with this Registration Statement certain instruments defining the
rights of holders of long-term debt of the Company and its subsidiaries because
the total amount of securities authorized under any of such instruments does
not exceed 10% of the total assets of the Company and its subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis. The Company agrees to furnish a copy of any such agreement
to the Commission upon request.
ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales
are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of this Registration
Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment hereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in this
Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected
in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference
in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
II-3
13
The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Company pursuant to the Securities Act or otherwise, the Company has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
