Company Overview 3 Specialized provider of: Fluids Systems and Engineering Mats and Integrated Services Environmental Services Customers: Oil and Gas Industry Key geographic markets: North America EMEA Latin America Asia Pacific

Drilling Fluids - Market Share 4 Demonstrated our ability to grow worldwide market share over the past decade Growth has been driven by independents, major international oil companies and national oil companies For 2011, projected to be the third largest drilling fluids provider in North America (based on Spears estimates and Company data)

Technology 5 Focused on providing customized solutions for E&P operators to improve their drilling economics Offshore - Deepwater and Shelf Deepdrill(r) water-based system used extensively in Brazil's deepwater market In early 2011, completed our deepest offshore well for a major IOC in over 7000 feet of water Land - Conventional and Unconventional Formations In 2010, introduced the Evolution(r) high-performance water-based system Proprietary and Patented Technology High Performance Water-Based Systems High Performance Synthetic-Based Systems Traditional and Hybrid Oil-Based Systems Currently constructing our new worldwide technology center; scheduled to open mid-2013

6 Award-winning Evolution system continues to demonstrate superior performance vs. oil based mud Higher lubricity Improves rate of penetration Increases length of lateral sections Minimizes days on well Environmentally friendly Reduces disposal cost for cuttings Reduces associated environmental spread cost Reduced circulating temperatures Increases drilling tool life Safer work environment Over 800 wells drilled to date using the Evolution system Evolution(r)

Evolution 7 After 2010 introduction in the Haynesville shale, we have since expanded into most North American basins.

Customer Support 8 Focused on backing our leading technology with superior customer support Over 600 fluids technicians customize and deliver our technology worldwide Advanced training programs for fluid technicians continue to enhance product and service knowledge Newpark recognized by EnergyPoint Research, an independent customer service survey company.

Customer Revenue Mix Growth with IOC's and NOC's Results of strategic shift started in 2006 Focus on IOC's and NOC's Why? Less competition versus independents Longer investment horizons (stability) Longer-term contracts 9

International Revenue Growth/Mix Focused on driving balance between North American and International revenues International expansion provides greater stability Longer investment horizons Lower concentrations in individual markets, reducing exposure to individual market dynamics 10

Fluids Systems and Engineering - North America 11 Serves most all North American basins, with majority of revenue coming from oil or liquids-related drilling Approximately 15% share of total U.S. markets served in first quarter 2012, including 18% share in shale markets1 Taking actions to manage operating costs as activity migrates from dry gas towards liquid-rich plays (1) Source: Company estimates Market Share % by Basin (First Quarter 2012) 1 Market Share % (rigs)

Fluids Systems and Engineering - EMEA 12 Core Markets Italy, Algeria, Tunisia, Romania Near-Term Growth Markets Hungary, Kurdistan (Iraq), Spain, Poland, Turkey Region revenue growth continues despite loss of Libya revenue Near-term Growth Markets

13 2nd largest drilling fluids capacity in Brazil Taking steps to improve profitability and stability Expand work with IOCs Focus on proprietary products such as DeepDrill Looking to expand beyond Brazil Fluids Systems and Engineering - Latin America

14 Acquisition of Rheochem drilling fluids business in April 2011 Australia New Zealand India Offshore contract to begin second quarter 2012 Fluids Systems and Engineering - Asia Pacific

Mats and Integrated Services 15 New environmental applications drove growth in recent years Use of composite mats to minimize adverse impacts of land drilling Revenues include sale of DuraBase(tm) composite mats and rentals Mat sales nearly doubled from 2010 to 2011, primarily into international markets Rental revenues balanced among our three U.S. regions: Northeast, Gulf Coast and Rockies Continuing to focus on product enhancements aimed at improving environmental protection

Environmental Services 16 Processes and disposes of E&P waste Non-hazardous oilfield waste Leading market position in U.S. Gulf Coast Uses low pressure injection technology Waste disposed into unique geological structures underground Impacted by Gulf of Mexico Permitting Delays Gulf recovery dependent on pace of permitting

First Quarter 2012 Revenues of $262 million in Q1 2012, down 1% from Q4 2011 and up 29% from a year ago EPS of 16¢ in Q1 compared to 22¢ in Q4 and 16¢ a year ago U.S. results negatively impacted by increased costs and shortage of barite, along with cost inefficiencies associated with rapid transition from dry gas to liquid-rich regions 17

Capital Structure 18 Solid balance sheet Debt/Capitalization ratio of 30.8% Cash balance of $30 million at March 31, 2012 Increase in debt driven by delays in customer invoicing following recent ERP system conversion in U.S. fluids business $50 million share re-purchase program initiated in the first quarter of 2012 $15 million repurchased to date, reducing outstanding shares by 1.9 million

Outlook 19 Oil & gas liquids driving U.S. drilling activity We are participating in the move toward liquids Evolution(tm) Technology Continue deploying across North America Continue international growth - build on recent success in Brazil and Rheochem acquisition Work to maximize rental utilization of mats across all U.S. regions Return of drilling in the Gulf of Mexico should benefit our fluids and environmental services businesses *Source: Baker Hughes
