Forward guidance

Patterson-UTI anticipates relatively steady industry drilling activity for the remainder of the year, with customer completion activity managing annual budgets and potential impacts from customer consolidation and weak natural gas prices already reflected in current activity.

Tailwinds

  • U.S. Contract Drilling to operate an average of 108 U.S. rigs in the third quarter.
  • Completion Services expects to see less white space in the third quarter.
  • Activity in West Texas is expected to be steady, sequentially.
  • Drilling Products segment expects continued growth in International operations.
  • Drilling Products segment expects a seasonal recovery in Canada post-spring breakup.

Headwinds

  • Adjusted gross profit per operating day for U.S. Contract Drilling is expected to decrease to approximately $15,000 due to customer churn and lower rig count impact.
  • Other Drilling Services adjusted gross profit is expected to be down slightly in the third quarter.
  • Completion Services expects to see elevated white space compared to normal operations.
  • Revenue in the United States for Drilling Products is expected to decline slightly on lower industry rig count.
  • Customers will continue to use completion activity to manage annual budgets, which is likely to impact frac activity with higher-than-normal calendar white space likely persisting through year-end.
