CONTRACT DRILLING
Evolution of U.S. Land Industry Rig Demand by Rig Power Type Source: Patterson-UTI estimates
Super-Spec Rigs as a Technology Platform Super-spec rigs will be the platform from which advancements in automation and remote operations are deployed PTEN is well positioned as a leader in the super-spec rig market Advancements in rig technology are expected to be more software driven than hardware driven New technology needs a new business model Performance aspects of contracts are needed to reward contractors for efficiency Contractors should be incentivized to invest in new technology
RIG AUTOMATION Consistent, automated processes at the wellsite limit safety risks, reduce well costs, streamline logistics and increase margins Automation and Remote Operations REMOTE OPERATIONS Remote operations allow a specialist to manage multiple wells at one time DIRECTIONAL DRILLING AUTOMATION Controlling downhole equipment with software closed-loop automation enhances quality and efficiency
Applications Adaptive Auto-Driller: Adaptive control loops maximize rate of penetration (ROP) through changing formations and minimize dysfunction. Optimized to consistently replicate expert driller performance. Easy to use interface that accelerates driller learning and development. Automated Toolface Drilling Control Closed loop technology that automates toolface control while slide drilling, enabling the process of remote directional drilling control. Stick-Slip Mitigation: Removes harmful torsional vibration allowing for increased ROP, lifespan of the drill bit, and other BHA components. Pipe Oscillator: Automated pipe oscillation while slide drilling to increase ROP and assisting directional driller in manual toolface steering. ™ ™ ™ ™ ™
Superior QC Superior QC services increase the accuracy of wellbore placement to improve well-to-well spacing More accurate well spacing provides for: Fewer frac hits Less parent-child communication between wells Generally better production economics Superior QC is a leader in terms of speed, automation, accuracy, and technical capability ™ ™ ™ ™
Bit Guidance Superior QC Bit Guidance Superior QC’s directional drilling control combined with Superior QC’s Fault Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR) software provides for real-time corrections and accurate well placement, reducing tortuosity and maximizing exposure to targeted production zones. ™
powered by GenAssist™ is an energy management software system that leverages EcoCell’s™ stored energy to optimize fuel efficiency and emissions. Automatically starts/stops engines and sets optimal load to achieve best possible fuel economy and emissions levels. Alternative solution to 4th generator requirements Reduces fuel consumption If utilizing dual-fuel engines, GenAssist™ will maximize substitution rates, dramatically improving fuel savings Reduces air emissions Added redundancy – can power rig for startup without using cold-start engine Extended maintenance intervals due to reduced engine run hours Improved power quality and response (instant power available) Designed for easy integration with APEX® Rigs Capable of providing 1.5x more power than a genset at full load - Stores up to 500 kW-hours ™ ™ ™
PRESSURE PUMPING
More flexible fuel source as engines can burn a fuel mix comprised of up to 70% natural gas Comparable torque and horsepower to an all diesel engine Reduces operating costs by lowering fuel costs Good for environmental sustainability Dual-Fuel Frac Spreads
Dual-Fuel Frac Spreads Patterson-UTI began dual fuel operations in 2012 and has expanded to five dual fuel spreads Patterson-UTI has completed more than 12,400 dual fuel fracturing stages saving customers approximately 10 million gallons of diesel more than 7.3 million gallons of diesel
Blender Remote Control & Automation Developing new control systems to allow the blender to be remotely operated from the data van Increased data collection capability will improve predictive analytics modeling helping to improve blender up time and reduce maintenance costs Remote operations with automation will lead to more efficient and consistent operations
Using AI with Digital Twin Technology Predictive analytics utilizing AI and digital twin technology Continuously monitors PTEN’s frac trailers Improves operational performance Reduces operating costs

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures (1) Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is not defined by U.S. GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expense (including impairment of goodwill). We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides to both management and investors additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and a comparison of the results of our operations from period to period and against our peers without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to the U.S. GAAP measure of net income (loss). Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as similarly titled measures of other companies. Set forth below is a reconciliation of the non-U.S. GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA to the U.S. GAAP financial measure of net income (loss). (1)
