UNCONVENTIONALS - LAND CONTRACTOR’S PERSPECTIVE
Joe HudsonPresident - U.S. Drilling
April 23, 2015
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTSWe often discuss expectations regarding our markets, demand for our products and services, and our futureperformance in our annual and quarterly reports, press releases, and other written and oral statements. Suchstatements, including statements in this document incorporated by reference that relate to matters that are nothistorical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of theSecurities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These “forward-looking statements”are based on our analysis of currently available competitive, financial and economic data and our operating plans.They are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that events and actual results could turn out to besignificantly different from our expectations.
Key factors you should consider when evaluating these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:• fluctuations in worldwide prices and demand for natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil;• fluctuations in levels of natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil exploration and development activities;• fluctuations in the demand for our services;• the existence of competitors, technological changes and developments in the oilfield services industry;• the existence of operating risks inherent in the oilfield services industry;• the existence of regulatory and legislative uncertainties;• the possibility of changes in tax laws;• the possibility of political instability, war or acts of terrorism in any of the countries in which we do business; and• general economic conditions including the capital and credit markets.
Our businesses depend, to a large degree, on the level of spending by oil and gas companies for exploration,development and production activities. Therefore, a sustained increase or decrease in the price of natural gas, naturalgas liquids or crude oil, which could have a material impact on exploration and production activities, could alsomaterially affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The above description of risks and uncertainties is by no means all inclusive, but is designed to highlight what webelieve are important factors to consider.

AGENDA
Evolution of the unconventional market:– Shift from gas to oil– Reducing days per well– Longer laterals, heavier setback, change in drill pipe, higher
pressures– Dual Fuel power systems– Evolution of multi-well pads– Batch drilling– Training the next generation of employees
Where Nabors is headed:– Remote operations– Integration of rig services– Rig integration with down-hole tools– Real time performance data

SAFETY & DRILLING EFFICIENCY GAINS CONTINUE
LONGER LATERALS, HEAVIER SETBACK, AND HIGHER PRESSURES, CHANGE IN DRILL PIPE SIZE, BOP PRESSURE
> Laterals now climbing over 10,000’, increasing setback footage and down-hole torque
> Setback requirements climbing above 500 kips
> Majority of new builds now 7500 psi fluid systems
> Drill pipe requests now typically 5” with 4” while drilling production section
> Third mud pump and fourth engine requests are climbing
9
INEXPENSIVE NATURAL GAS ENABLES DUAL FUEL ECONOMICS
> Dual fuel systems-add-on to existing engines which substituting up to 70% of diesel with natural gas
> Well heads, pipelines, LNG and CNG trailers now in use on rig sites

REDUCING COST BY DRILLING MORE WELLS PER PAD

% of Wells Drilled on Pads 20% 50% 70%
Avg. # of Wells per Pad 2.2 4.0 6+ 1Source- Nabors’ Global Market Study
Operator Benefit:‒ Overall lower cost per foot drilled‒ Fewer locations = lower site building
budget‒ Rig moves are 30 min versus 3 days‒ Drill pipe walks with the rig - no laydown
time‒ Repetition = efficiency
11
LOWERING COST THROUGH BATCH DRILLING > Batch Drilling:
– Surface hole (white)– Intermediate hole (blue)– Production hole (red)
> Requires efficient skidding and ability to walk over well heads
> Requires agile rigs that can negotiate around/over well heads
> Recent performance includes drilling 5,730’ surface hole in 12 hours
> Operator Benefit:‒ Convert from water base to oil base one time‒ Pick-up and use same BHA one time‒ Pick-up and handle conductor one time‒ Nipple-up stack one time‒ Repetition = efficiency

> Four fully functional training rigs‒ Tyler, TX‒ Casper, WY‒ Williston, ND‒ Odessa, TX
> Set up over a cased hole to allow for simulated drilling and tripping
> Trainers have operational experience on drilling rigs
> Equipped with specially designed training tools to aid in training and competence evaluations
> Catered camps in critical areas

INTEGRATION OF SERVICES ON THE RIG
> Casing running> Rotating heads> Hydraulic chokes> Drill pipe rental> Managed Pressure Operations (MPO)
> Operator Benefit:‒ One invoice‒ Improved and consistent technology
and products‒ Rig ownership in the success of the
service‒ Reduced location headcount
16
AUTOMATION, REMOTE OPERATIONS, AND INTEGRATION OF DOWN-HOLE TOOLS
> Automation of repetitive drilling routines
> Integration of the rig with down-hole tools
> Remote operations for Directional, MWD, and other services

DRIVING OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE THROUGH KEY PERFORMANCE METRICS …operational management can drive
continuous improvement By providing detailed performance analysis at the end of every day and every job…
Nabors End of Well (EOW) Report (sample pages)
Performance Targets▪ Targets established by customer and
operational management▪ Targets based on rig equipment and geography▪ Targets communicated to rig crew and visible in
reporting Piloting for success the
Report Distribution▪ sqKPI Reports available via web through myBIT▪ sqKPI Exception Report automatically emailed to
distribution list daily▪ End of Well Report generated at the end of each
well and automatically emailed to distribution list based on rig number
▪ Historical End of Well Reports will be made available through myWells.com
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)▪ Rig Downtime (by Equipment)▪ Connection Time (POOH & RIH)▪ Tripping Speed (POOH & RIH)▪ Running Casing Speed (by Casing Size)▪ N/U, N/D and Test BOP▪ Rig Move Time ▪ Drilling Curve (Plan v Actual)
“Amazing!!!. This initiative shows how Nabors wants to work with us towards to the same goal.” -Marathon Drilling Manager
“I think it’s a pretty neat tool and could be used all kinds of things from performance optimization to performance benchmarking for contract purposes.” -Hess Drilling Engineer
“…was really impressive how close you are tracking the rig operation.” -EOG Drilling Engineer
…looking forward to seeing the performance improvement across all rigs using these great tools. -Aramco Chief Drilling Engineer
