A MORE BALANCED BUSINESS

Improved balance in our operating income stream– Strong growth in Canada– Consistent growth internationally– Growth less reliant on US land business– US land pricing and volume momentum is here– Good outlook in US Gulf of Mexico

Lower “Below the Line” cost– Reduced cost of capital– Lower diluted share count– Improved tax position

6

STRONG FUNDAMENTALS UNDERPIN POSITIVE OUTLOOK

Supply challenges point to a more orderly and sustainable cycle

North American gas decline rates imply 20+ BCFPD/year

Timing of the supply impact of stranded and imported gas

Additional drilling is required in US & Canadian Basins

Longer term, LNG will ultimately become the marginal supply

Global oil supply challenges and increasing demand

7

GLOBAL LAND DRILLING OUTLOOK

North America:

Effectively at full capacity utilization of available rigs

Rates & Margins at the inflection point

Demand appears to be continuing at a “Goldilocks” pace

This cycle will likely last throughout the decade and beyond with more moderate volatility

NABORS HAS GAINED WITH INCREASED HORIZONTAL DRILLING AND A ROBUST MARKET IN THE ROCKIES

INCREASED USE OF HORTIZONTAL& MULTILATERAL WELLS

HIGHER SPECIFICATION RIGS YIELD IMPROVED EFFICIENCY

Increased hydraulic horsepower (psi x gpm) to facilitate optimalbit and mud motor performance7,500 psi pump pressure capabilityTop drives facilitate directional orientationOpti-Drill™ automatic driller with proprietary Drill Smart™Algorithms– Continuous analysis of drilling conditions to maximize ROP– Improved directional motor life– Maximize benefit of rotary steerable drilling

12

NABORS’ INITIATIVES INRIG EFFECIENCY & INNOVATION

Reducing moving times - drilling days vs. moving days

Upgrading rig capabilities – higher hydraulic horsepowers

Incorporating technology innovations where cost effective

Overall performance improvements in safety and efficiency

Setting new records in drilling days & cost

13

LOWER CYCLE TIME PER WELLLess days per well requires shorter moving times

Nabors is cutting 30-70% off move times with simplelow cost initiatives:– 24 hour moves– Better pre-planning and sequencing

• Less dead time• Less cost for cranes and trucking

– More optimal unitization of modules• Modest structural changes to minimize loads• Less labor intensive disconnect/reconnect

– Nabors’ controlled trucking resource

14

INCREASED INTEREST IN PAD DRILLINGMultiple wells drilling directionally from sites

in environmentally sensitive areas

Nabors pioneered pad drilling in the 1970’s – 1990’s on the North Slope of AlaskaAdapting new generation “Lift and Roll” skid systems from North Slope applicationsApplications:– McKenzie Delta– Tar Sands– US Rocky Mountains – Various International venues

Advantages:– Faster moves– Smaller environmental impact– Faster field development

15

EFFICIENCY EMPHASIS LEADSTO LAND RIG INNOVATION

Building leading edge rigs, utilizing existing components, yields favorable returns

• Fast moving “Commander” class rigs

• 800–2,000 horsepower electric A/C drive

• Four currently working,10 under construction

• PLC (Programmable Logic Controls)

• Modularized skidded rigs for pad drilling

• New A/C coiled tubing/stem drilling rig under construction with term contract

16

INCREASED DEEPWATER DEVELOPMENTA NEW DEEPWATER CLASS PLATFORM RIG AT FAVORABLE COSTS

MODS (Modular Offshore Dynamic Series)– A/C drives based on Commander

class drilling rig design– PLC controls provide extra safety

features to protect crews and equipment

The only A/C platform rigs in the Gulf of MexicoCapable of rigging up on conventional platforms, TLPs and Spars

17

WORKOVER WELL SERVICINGMORE EMPHASIS ON HARVESTING OIL RESOURCES

Nabors is pushing an old industry forward

New generation 500 HP PLC rigs

Make up torque monitor

Rig Instrumentation– Monitor on going operations in real-time via internet.– Built in safety alerts and hazardous operations monitoring
