Oil prices remain strong, but natural gas spot prices are below $5 per mcf. U.S. land and international rig counts are recovering. A colder than average winter left U.S. natural gas inventories slightly above the five-year average. The number of U.S. rigs drilling horizontal wells is at an all-time high. Dayrates continue to recover in the U.S. land spot market, especially for highly-capable rigs. The Market Today |

The Company recently secured three multi-year term contracts to build and operate three new FlexRigs, two in the Bakken Shale and one in the Haynesville Shale. In addition, the Company recently secured four five-year term contracts to operate four FlexRigs in the Bakken Shale. These FlexRigs were built in previous years and will be adapted to fit the corresponding requirements. Given the incremental demand for term contracts, the Company now expects an average of 102 rigs to remain under term contracts during all of fiscal 2010. The corresponding estimated annual averages for rigs under term contracts for fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012 are now 72 and 42 rigs, respectively. H&P’s U.S. Land Operations |

Seven of the Company’s nine offshore platform rigs are active. Two of the seven active rigs are under long-term contracts. Average rig margins are expected to decline but remain strong at over $20,000 per day. We are now working on three platform rigs owned by customers under management contracts, two in the U.S. and one in Equatorial Guinea. H&P’s Offshore Operations |

Given improving market conditions and a significant increase in U.S. land rig activity, the company has increased its fiscal 2010 capital expenditures estimate by $65 million to $330 million. Incremental spending includes: Incremental maintenance related expenditures Components required for an additional three potential new builds (in addition to the five announced in December 2009) Other special projects, including the refurbishment of existing rigs to comply with new term contracts H&P’s Capex Estimate for Fiscal 2010 |
