9 Drilling Services Macro: Offering reliable cash generation Adjusted EBITDA1 minus Capital Expenditures per Active U.S. Rig Patterson-UTI Drilling Services Segment, ($, millions) Cash generation at our Drilling Services segment serves as a strong foundation for PTEN's Free Cash Flow ▪ Cash generation per active U.S. rig has remained strong as the rig count stabilized ▪ Capital Expenditures can be scaled to align with the opportunity set, with lower maintenance and upgrade capital expected in 2025 ▪ Drilling Services demand is expected to remain steady through 2025, with revenue per day for our Tier-1 rigs remaining stable in the low-to-mid $30k per day range Patterson-UTI’s Drilling Services segment is expected to deliver strong cash generation again in 2025 Performance Drilling 1Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus income tax expense, net interest expense, depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expense (including impairment of goodwill) and merger and integration expense.

10 Industry HHP Utilization Rate by Engine Type1 Active Industry HHP, U.S. Land, 1Q2025 Estimate Source: 1Patterson-UTI Estimates Natural gas-powered assets are effectively sold out ▪ Outside of 4Q seasonality, there is very little capacity to increase activity of premium natural gas-powered assets, with high utilization even as total industry fleet count has declined ▪ Given current commodity prices, there is a wide cost advantage to using natural gas to power frac fleets ▪ 100% natural gas-powered plus Tier 4 dual fuel comprise roughly half of industry activity Current idle capacity is largely diesel and less efficient dual fuel ▪ Industry idle capacity has higher operating and capital costs with limited remaining useful life ▪ Patterson-UTI is no longer investing in Tier 2 diesel assets and retired and decommissioned >400k diesel HHP in 2024; we expect to continue retiring older diesel assets in 2025 0% 50% 100% Electric and Natural Gas Direct-Drive Tier 4 Dual Fuel High Utilization for Premium Natural Gas-Powered Assets Premium natural gas-powered assets are in high demand, and about 80% of our active fleet can be powered by natural gas 1Patterson-UTI Estimates Completion Services Macro: Industry premium asset utilization is high 100% Natural Gas Emerald™ Frac Pump NexTier’s Emerald™ fleet features the latest natural gas- fueled technology, digitally- enabled for performance

Annual cost of fueling assumes $2.75 per gallon of diesel fuel and $2.50 per mmbtu of natural gas, plus fuel logistics and handling costs, assumes 70% diesel displacement for Tier 4 Dual Fuel and 50% for Tier 2 Dual Fuel. 2Capital cost of power generation assumes 35 mW of power generation for an electric frac fleet with a capital cost of $1 million per mW with a 3.5-year payback Industry capital cost of power generation gives Tier 4 Dual Fuel a slight cost advantage over Electric Patterson-UTI Capacity by Engine Type Fuel Cost Savings Potential Market Demand Total Industry Capacity by Engine Type Capital Cost of Power Generation2 if no Grid Power availability ▪ Tier 4 Dual Fuel fleets are a leading technology to minimize costs, balancing fuel savings without additional power generation capital investment ▪ Electric fleets offer greater natural gas substitution potential but face higher capital costs due to additional power generation equipment ▪ Legacy Diesel fleets have higher operating costs, facing significant pressure from modern natural gas-enabled solutions Significant fuel cost arbitrage provides platform for sustained demand for Patterson- UTI’s premium natural gas-fueled equipment Frac Market Bifurcation

25 Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (1) Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus income tax expense, net interest expense, depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expense (including impairment of goodwill) and merger and integration expense. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure 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 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 GAAP measure of net income (loss). Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as similarly titled measures of other companies.
