OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK
Overview
We
reported second quarter 2010 net income of $0.5 million, or $0.00 per
diluted share on revenues of $156.5 million, compared with net
income of $4.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share on revenues of
$221.8 million during the second quarter 2009. The results of the
second quarter included a total of $4.4 million related to the DOJ
investigation, legal expense, Mexico tax settlement and debt
extinguishment costs of refinancing a portion of our existing debt.
Our construction contract revenues included $20.5 million during the second quarter 2010,
down from $77.6 million in 2009 reflecting the reduced revenues
associated with work consisting of primarily labor as we near
completion of the rig and ready the rig for customer acceptance
testing.
Compared to second quarter 2009, second quarter 2010 results reflect improved performance from
our U.S. businesses, including higher revenues and margins in our Rental Tools segment and improved
utilization in our U.S. Drilling segment. We also generated slightly higher revenues in our
Project Management and Engineering Services segment. The improvements in the U.S. were more than
offset by lower international rig fleet utilization and shipyard time for our Caspian Sea Barge Rig
257, both negatively impacting our International Drilling segment.
28
Table of Contents
OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK (continued)
Overview (continued)
Second quarter 2010 U.S. Drilling segment revenues of $15.3 million increased 19.0 percent
over second quarter 2009 revenues of $12.9 million, and gross margin of $1.8 million increased 42.3
percent over the $1.3 million gross margin in the second quarter of 2009. This performance
reflects an increased number of barges at work during the quarter. One
advantage we believe has benefitted our utilization was our 2009 decision to ready-stack our Gulf
of Mexico barge rigs that were underutilized at the time. As demand improved, we believe we have
captured a larger portion of the available work by providing fast back-to-work response times while
keeping costs in line with softer market conditions. Although utilization has increased, dayrates
remain suppressed in this market.
Rental Tools posted a strong second quarter 2010 with revenues of $41.4 million, a 46.9
percent increase over the second quarter 2009. Second quarter 2010 gross margin was $27.1 million
and gross margin as a percent of revenues was 65.5 percent, both up from the second quarter 2009.
This growth is attributable to improving conditions in U.S. land drilling markets and the Companys
successful deployment of strategic plans, including our positioning of stores in the more active
shale plays and our 2009 capital investments in tubular inventory. With the improvement in market
conditions, price discounting has lessened. Our efforts remain focused on continuing to serve our
existing customer base while growing our business with new customers at the same time. Our rental
tool business has been impacted by the drilling moratorium on deepwater drilling in the Gulf of
Mexico. We anticipate the impact on revenues to be approximately $1 million per month until rigs
return to work in the Gulf or relocate to international locations. We plan to remain vigilant on
controlling costs in our rental tool business, and if revenues continue to increase in the active
shale plays, this segment will continue to contribute to the Company as the year progresses.
Revenues in the Construction Contract segment were much lower in the second quarter of 2010
compared to the second quarter of 2009, reflecting the continued progress toward completion of the
Liberty rig. Parker is installing the rig at its location on the North Slope, and these activities primarily consist of
rig-up labor. The Liberty rig is a customer-owned rig constructed by Parker Drilling for BP on a
fixed fee and reimbursable contract. Payments are made by BP
as the construction progresses, with
accounting for the project handled on a percentage of completion basis.
Second quarter 2010 Project Management and Engineering Services revenues were $26.4 million, a
10.4 percent increase over 2009 second quarter revenues of $23.9 million, primarily reflecting
increased activity associated with our engineering and procurement services for
an offshore platform for Exxon Neftegas Ltd. (ENL) that will target the Arkutun-Dagi field
offshore Sakhalin Island. Also contributing to increased revenues in this segment were our
operations and maintenance activities for ENL on the Orlan platform, which transitioned from a
warm-stack mode to a higher-revenue mode during the 2010 second quarter.
When compared with 2009s second quarter, the Companys International Drilling segment
revenues of $52.9 million declined $26.3 million, or 33.2% due to lower utilization. When compared
with the first quarter of 2010, second quarter 2010 revenues were $10.9 million or 17.1% lower. A
reduced dayrate for our Caspian Sea Barge Rig 257 during its shipyard time for a scheduled overhaul
and upgrade program negatively affected revenues and earnings in the second quarter 2010 as the
barge remained in the shipyard the entire period. Utilization remains strong in our Americas
region, with 9 of 10 rigs working, including one previously idle rig going back to work in the
second quarter. However, utilization in our Asia Pacific and CIS/Africa/Middle East regions
remained depressed, as rigs in New Zealand, Algeria and Kazakhstan were ready-stacked after
completing existing contract work.
We believe that the slowdown in some of our international markets is attributable to a delay
in anticipated international E&P spending by our customers, principally because of the
instability in European and Central Asian financial markets, causing some of our international rig fleet to experience gaps
between contracts.
29

OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK (continued)
Outlook
We believe that our operations are strategically well positioned, and although not all our
locations are reporting year-to-year performance improvements through the first six months of 2010
compared with comparable prior year period, we believe we have the potential to produce improved
earnings throughout the remainder of the year.
We had previously anticipated and disclosed our expectation of experiencing gaps between some
contracts in our International Drilling fleet and have seen this transpire during the latter part
of the second quarter. While we have had some success in extending contracts and getting new work
for rigs coming off contract, we anticipate that our international rig fleet utilization will
remain around current levels for the remainder of the year. Revenues should increase as our one
barge rig in the Caspian returns to full dayrate in August.
The
U.S. Drilling segment continues to experience solid utilization,
however, dayrates remain depressed.
We appear to be maintaining our market share and we are seeing
slight improvement in overall market conditions.
Our
Rental Tools segment continued to improve quarter over quarter. During the second quarter
2010, this segments performance was one of the strongest quarters in Company history. While we
anticipate this segment will remain strong, we recognize that the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico
drilling moratorium may continue to have an impact on our rentals of deepwater equipment. We
currently estimate the drilling moratorium is reducing revenue from our rental tools business by
approximately $1.0 million per month and this impact will likely
continue until the moratorium is lifted. For information, see
Risk Factors in Item 1A of Part II of this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Our
work on the Liberty rig will transition from installation activities
to operational activities when our customer, BP, directs us to do
so. As noted earlier, the Orlan platform at Sakhalin Island
transitioned into a higher-revenue mode in the second quarter. We
continue our long-term operations and management work on the Yastreb
rig. Engineering and procurement work continues for the drilling
structures and equipment on the gravity based platform rig which is
planned to be installed in Sakhalins Arkutun-Dagi filed. The
construction for this project is starting up in Korea and the Company
is working on plans to provide engineering support and construction
supervision for the drilling structures. We also continue to monitor
and bid on additional engineering and project management
opportunities. If we are successful in our bids it could it could
result in additional project work.
As part of our normal business operations, we monitor industry developments and their
potential impacts to our business. In this regard, we are monitoring the consequences resulting
from the incident in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico involving the Deepwater Horizon, including the
recently imposed deepwater drilling moratorium. Although the incident and its consequences will
likely result in increased regulation of offshore drilling the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, at this time,
we cannot predict what specific further actions may be taken by the United States or state
governments, our customers or other industry participants in response to the incident, or what
impact any such actions may have on our operations or the operations of our customers. For
information, see Risk Factors in Item 1A of Part II of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2009
We
recorded net income of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared
to net income of $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Gross margin was $18.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $27.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2009.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is an analysis of our operating results for the comparable quarters:
31
Table of Contents
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
International Drilling Segment
This segments revenues decreased $26.3 million to $52.9 million during the current quarter
when compared to the second quarter of 2009 due to lower overall utilization and reduced day-rate
during planned shipyard time for one of our rigs.
Revenues in our
Americas region decreased by $7.8 million mainly due to lower rig utilization
in Mexico,
partially offset by higher revenue in Colombia in the second quarter of 2010 compared with the same
period in the prior year. Revenues in our CIS region decreased by $15.3 million primarily due to
planned maintenance and upgrades for our barge rig operating in the Caspian Sea and fewer rigs
working in Kazakhstan. In our Asia Pacific region, revenues decreased $3.2 million due primarily
to lower utilization in the second quarter of 2010 compared with the same period in 2009.
International operating gross margin, excluding depreciation and amortization, decreased $16.9
million to $13.5 million during the current quarter of 2010, as compared to the second quarter of
2009. The change in margins is primarily attributable to the above mentioned planned shipyard time
for our barge rig in the Caspian Sea.
U.S. Drilling Segment
Revenues for this segment increased $2.4 million to $15.3 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2010 as compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The increase in revenues was primarily
due to a recovering market, which has led to improved utilization for the U.S. barges, partially
offset by lower dayrates as pricing remains competitive.
The U.S. Drilling segments operating gross margin, excluding depreciation and amortization,
improved by $0.5 million from the comparative quarter in 2009, due to increased revenues and lower
operating costs.
Rental Tools Segment
Rental tools revenues increased $13.2 million to $41.4 million during the second quarter as
compared to the second quarter of 2009. The year to year comparative increase is a result of
improvements to the overall market conditions and high discounts that affected the business during
the second quarter of 2009 being reduced in certain markets.
The segments operating gross margins, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased by
$11.7 million in the current quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2009, primarily due to
higher revenues, decreasing discounts and continued cost containment.
Project Management and Engineering Services Segment
Revenues for this segment increased $2.5 million to $26.4 million during the current quarter
as compared to the second quarter of 2009. This increase was primarily due to revenue from the new
Arkutun Dagi project in the 2010 comparable period, partially offset by higher margin upgrade and relocation
work on the Yastreb rig during the second quarter of 2009. With loss
of some revenue, without any
corresponding decrease in costs, there was some decrease in margins for certain projects. Operating
gross margin for this segment decreased by $0.9 million in the current period as compared to the
same period in the prior year.
32
Table of Contents
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Construction Contracts Segment
Revenues from the construction of the extended-reach drilling rig for use in the Alaskan
Beaufort Sea decreased $57.0 million to $20.5 million during the current quarter as compared to the
second quarter of 2009. The results of this segment are impacted by the timing of the project,
which is nearing its completion. This project is accounted for on a percentage of
completion basis. Operating gross margin in the second quarter of 2010 was $0.5 million, a
reduction from $3.6 million recorded in the second quarter of 2009.
Other Financial Data
Gain on asset dispositions for the second quarter of 2010 and 2009 was $1.7 million and $0.7
million, respectively, and was a result of asset sales during each period, respectively.
Interest
expense, while remaining relatively consistent during the second
quarter of 2010 as compared
to the second quarter of 2009 was impacted by higher interest expense from new borrowings of $1.5
million, increased debt amortization costs of $0.3 million, and
was offset by $2.0 million more of
interest capitalized to support new rig construction. Debt extinguishment costs for the second
quarter of 2010 were $4.0 million with no comparable expense in the second quarter of 2009.
Interest income was minimal in each quarter.
General and administration expense decreased $4.2 million as compared to the second quarter of
2009 due to overall reduction in corporate costs, primarily related to lower legal spending.
Income
tax expense was $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2010, as compared to $5.1
million for the second quarter of 2009. The decrease is driven by lower taxable income in the
current year.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2009
We
recorded a net loss of $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to
net income of $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Gross margin was $34.0 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $52.9 million for the six months ended June
30, 2009.

Table of Contents
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
International Drilling Segment
This segments revenues decreased $39.9 million to $116.8 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2010 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009 due to lower overall utilization
and reduced day-rate during planned shipyard time for one of our rigs.
Revenues in our Americas region decreased by $14.0 million mainly due to lower barge rig
utilization in Mexico; partially offset by higher revenue in Colombia in the six months ended June
30, 2010 compared with the same period in the prior year. Revenues in our CIS region decreased by
$20.4 million primarily due to planned maintenance and upgrade for our barge rig operating in the
Caspian Sea and lower utilization of other rigs in the region. In our Asia Pacific region,
revenues decreased $5.4 million due primarily to lower second quarter utilization compared with the
same period in 2009.
International operating gross margin, excluding depreciation and amortization, decreased $27.8
million to $30.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the six months
ended June 30, 2009. The change in margins is attributable to the above mentioned planned shipyard
time for our barge rig in the Caspian and the decrease in revenues partially offset by decreased
operating expenses.
U.S. Drilling Segment
Revenues for this segment increased $7.7 million to $30.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in revenues was
primarily due to a recovering market, which has led to improved utilization for the U.S. barges,
especially in the second quarter, partially offset by continued low dayrates as pricing remains
competitive.
The U.S. Drilling segments operating gross margin, excluding depreciation and amortization,
improved by $5.9 million, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009, due to increased
revenues and lower operating costs.
Rental Tools Segment
Rental tools revenues increased $9.1 million to $75.2 million during the six months ended June
30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in the first half of 2010
is a result of improving market conditions and reduced discounting that affected the business
during the first half of 2009.
The segments operating gross margins, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased
$11.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30,
2009, primarily due to higher revenues, decreasing discounts and continued cost containment.
Project Management and Engineering Services Segment
Revenues for this segment decreased $5.1 million to $50.8 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease was the result of
lower rates for project management services due to reduced activity in Sakhalin with the Orlan
platform going on a ready-stack rate and lower reimbursable revenues. During the second quarter of
2009 we performed and received payments for certain upgrade and relocation work that did not repeat in 2010. The decrease
was partially offset by an increase in engineering services of $10.7 million due to new activity,
primarily related to the Arkutun Dagi project.
35
Table of Contents
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Construction Contracts Segment
Revenues from the construction of the extended-reach drilling rig for use in the Alaskan
Beaufort Sea decreased $53.4 million to $40.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. The results of this segment are impacted by the
timing of the project, which is nearing completion. This project is accounted for on a
percentage of completion basis. Operating gross margin for the construction project in the six
months ended June 30, 2010 was a loss of $(0.3) million, a reduction from $4.4 million gross margin
recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2009. This reflects an adjustment during 2010 of the
fixed fee for the cost-reimbursable Liberty project, due to the expanded costs, which have impacted
the percentage-of-completion allocation.
Other Financial Data
Gain on asset dispositions for the six months ended 2010 and 2009 was $2.4 million and $0.8
million, respectively, and was a result of asset sales during each period.
Interest expense decreased $1.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared
to the six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to increased interest capitalization of $3.3
million during the second quarter 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year, partially
offset by increased interest expense from new borrowings of $1.4 million and amortization of debt
costs of $0.5 million. Debt extinguishment costs for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $7.2
million with no comparable expense in the six months ended June 30, 2009. Interest income was
minimal for the period.
General and administration expense decreased $7.2 million as compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2009 due to overall reduction in corporate costs, primarily related to legal spending.
Income
tax benefit was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to
income tax expense of $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This is directly
related to lower taxable income recorded for six months in 2010 compared to taxable income in the
same period in 2009.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flows
As of June 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $49.8 million, a decrease of $59.0
million from December 31, 2009. The primary sources of cash for the six-month period ended June
30, 2010 as reflected on the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows was $54.2 million from
operating activities and $12.9 million from financing activities. Financing activities included
proceeds from the issuance of $300 million aggregate principal amount of 9.125% Notes, less
$7.9 million of associated debt issuance costs, offset by the repayment of $225.0 million aggregate
principal value of 9.625% Senior Notes and payment of $7.5 million of related debt extinguishment
cost, $6.0 million quarterly payments on our term loan facility, and $42.0 million repayment of
borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The primary use of cash was $129.0 million for
capital expenditures. Major capital expenditures for the year-to-date period included $75.1
million on the construction of two new rigs for work in Alaska and $25.8 million for tubulars and
other rental tools for Quail Tools.
As of June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $94.6 million, a decrease of $77.7 million
from December 31, 2008. The primary source of cash for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 as
reflected on the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows was $33.0 million provided by
operating activities. The primary uses of cash were $94.0 million for capital expenditures and a
net pay down of $16.0 million on our revolver credit facility. Major capital expenditures for the
period included $31.0 million on the construction of two new Alaska rigs and $25.5 million for
tubulars and other tools for Rental Tools.

Financing Activity
On March 22, 2010, we issued the 9.125% Notes pursuant to an Offering Memorandum dated March
11, 2010. The 9.125% Notes were issued at par with interest payable on April 1 and October 1,
beginning October 1, 2010. We used the proceeds from the 9.125% Notes offering to redeem $225.0
million aggregate principal amount of our 9.625% Senior Notes due 2013 (9.625% Note), to repay
$42.0 million of borrowings under the revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
On March 8, 2010, we commenced a cash tender offer and consent solicitation for all of our
outstanding 9.625% Notes, which expired on April 2, 2010 (Tender Offer). The total consideration
paid for each validly tendered 9.625% Note was equal to 103.458% of the aggregate principal amount
of the 9.625% Notes, or $1,034.58 per $1,000 principal amount of 9.625% Notes, plus accrued and
unpaid interest to the date of payment. The total consideration included a consent payment of $30
per $1,000 principal amount of 9.625% Notes, payable only to holders who tendered their 9.625%
Notes and validly delivered their consents prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 19,
2010 (Consent Date). Holders who validly tendered their 9.625% Notes after the Consent Date
received the total consideration less the consent payment of $30, or $1,004.58 per $1,000 principal
amount of the 9.625% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of payment. Holders
tendered $96.3 million as of the Consent Date. On March 22, 2010, we paid $104.0 million
representing payment of the total consideration including the consent payment. On the same date,
March 22, 2010, we voluntarily called for redemption our 9.625% Notes that were not tendered
pursuant to the Tender Offer, at the redemption price of 103.208% of the principal amount of the
9.625% Notes, or $1,032.08 per $1,000 principal amount of the 9.625% Notes. On April 21, 2010, we
redeemed the remaining $128.7 million principal amount of 9.625% Notes.
We paid in full the $42.0 million of borrowings under the revolving credit facility on March
26, 2010.
On July 5, 2007, we issued $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.125% Convertible
Senior Notes due 2012. Interest is payable semiannually on July 15th and January 15th. The
initial conversion price is approximately $13.85 per share and is subject to adjustment for the
occurrence of certain events stated within the indenture. Proceeds from the transaction were used
to call our outstanding Senior Floating Rate notes, to pay the net cost of hedge and warrant
transactions and for general corporate purposes. Effectively, the hedge and warrant transactions
increase the conversion price to approximately $18.29 per share.
On May 15, 2008 we entered into a Credit Agreement (2008 Credit Facility) with a five year
senior secured $80.0 million revolving credit facility (Revolving Credit Facility) and a senior
secured term loan facility (Term Loan Facility) of up to $50.0 million. Our obligations under the
2008 Credit Facility are guaranteed by substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries, except for
domestic subsidiaries owned by foreign subsidiaries and certain immaterial subsidiaries, each of
which has executed a guaranty. The 2008 Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and
negative covenants such as minimum ratios for consolidated leverage, consolidated interest coverage
and consolidated senior secured leverage.

Financing Activity
The 2008 Credit Facility is available for general corporate purposes and to fund reimbursement
obligations under letters of credit the banks issue on our behalf pursuant to this facility.
Revolving loans are available under the 2008 Credit Facility subject to a borrowing base
calculation based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable, certain specified barge drilling
rigs and eligible rental equipment of the Company and its subsidiary guarantors. As of June 30,
2010, there were $16.6 million in letters of credit outstanding, $38.0 million outstanding on the
Term Loan Facility and no borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2010, the
amount utilized represents nearly 21 percent of the capacity of the Revolving Credit Facility. The
Term Loan began amortizing on September 30, 2009 at equal installments of $3.0 million per quarter.
On January 30, 2009, Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. assigned its obligations under the 2008 Credit
Facility to Trustmark National Bank. Upon assignment, Trustmark National Bank fully funded Lehman
Commercial Paper, Inc.s commitment, including an additional $4.0 million that Lehman Commercial
Paper, Inc. did not fund in October 2008, therefore increasing our borrowings under the Revolving
Credit Facility to $62.0 million at that time. On June 3, 2009, we repaid $20.0 million of the
Revolving Credit Facility, reducing the amount drawn to $42.0 million. On March 26, 2010, we
repaid the $42.0 million with proceeds from the issuance of our 9.125% Notes. We expect to use the
revolving credit facility over the next twelve months to primarily
fund construction of the two new
rigs for work in Alaska.
We had total long-term debt, including current portion, of $451.1 million as of June 30, 2010,
which consists of:
As of June 30, 2010, we had approximately $113.2 million of liquidity which consisted of $49.8
million of cash and cash equivalents on hand and $63.4 million of availability under the Revolving
Credit Facility.
Since 2008, a subsidiary of ours has been working to construct two new rigs for development
drilling on the North Slope of Alaska. The cost of construction of the two new rigs will be funded
partially by cash from operations and our fully available revolving credit facility. The two new
rigs are subject to five-year contracts with BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc.

Obligations
The following table summarizes our future contractual cash obligations as of June 30, 2010:
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have
any unconsolidated special-purpose entities, off-balance sheet financing
arrangements nor guarantees of third-party financial obligations. We have no energy or commodity
contracts.
There have been no material changes in market risk faced by us from those reported in our 2009
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 3, 2010. For more information on market
risk, see Part II, Item 7A in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities
Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated
to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of
disclosure controls and procedures in Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the disclosure
controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired
control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. We performed evaluations
under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive
officer and our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2010. Based on the foregoing, our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
For information regarding legal proceedings, see Note 10, Contingencies, in Item 1 of Part I
of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, which information is incorporated herein by reference into
this item.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors
of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, other than the following:
Our operations could be adversely impacted by the recent drilling rig accident in the U.S. Gulf of
Mexico, and its consequences.
On April 22, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon, a deepwater drilling rig owned by another contractor
that was operating in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, sank after an apparent blowout and fire. In
response to the incident, on May 30, 2010 the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and
Enforcement (BOEM), of the U.S. Department of the Interior, at the time known as the Minerals
Management Service issued a notice to lessees and operators implementing a six-month moratorium on
the drilling of new wells in water depths greater than 500 feet in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and
stating that the BOEM would not consider drilling permits for wells and related activities for
those water depths during the moratorium. In response to the BOEMs notice and its consequences,
on June 22, 2010 a federal district court in Louisiana issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting
the enforcement of the moratorium. The U.S. Department of the Interior subsequently filed a notice
of appeal and a request for stay of the preliminary injunction, but the federal district court and
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit denied the departments request for stay during the
appeals process. In response to the preliminary injunction, on July 12, 2010 the BOEM issued
another notice to lessees and operators imposing a new moratorium on drilling activities in the
U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The notice directs the suspension of drilling operations that use subsea
blowout preventers (BOPs) or surface BOPs on floating facilities. During this newly-issued
moratorium, the BOEM will not consider approval of pending and future applications for permits to
drill wells using subsea BOPs or surface BOPs on floating facilities. The current moratorium is
scheduled to end on November 30, 2010.
In addition to the drilling moratorium, effective June 8, 2010, the BOEM issued a separate
notice to lessees and operators in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico implementing safety requirements that
had previously been recommended in response to the Deepwater Horizon incident. Among other things,
this notice requires each operator to conduct a specific review of its operations and to certify to
the BOEM that it is in compliance with the new requirements and current regulations. This notice
also requires operators to submit independent third-party reports on the design and operation of
certain pieces of drilling equipment, including BOPs and other well control systems. This notice
instructs operators to conduct tests on the functionality of various rig parts and to submit the
results of those tests to the BOEM. With respect to operations subject to the moratorium, the
reports and certifications are required to be provided to the BOEM prior to commencement of
operations following expiration of the moratorium.
Although we have no ongoing drilling operations directly subject to the moratorium, we do have
drilling operations in inland state waters which may be threatened if the spilled oil continues to
spread. Our Rental Tools business has customers with operations subject to the moratorium. We
estimate the moratorium may result in a reduction of approximately $1.0 million per month in tool
rental revenue for as long as the moratorium stays in place.

Table of Contents
The Deepwater Horizon incident and its consequences will likely result in increased regulation
of offshore drilling in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. However, we cannot predict what specific further
actions may be taken by the federal or state governments, our customers or other industry
participants in response to the incident, or what impact any such actions may have on our
operations or the operations of our customers. However, significant delays in our operations or
our customers operations caused by the spill or changes in regulations regarding future offshore
exploration and production activities or other government or customer actions could continue to
have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
