2013 ANNUAL REPORT

To Our Shareholders and Employees After three years of steady growth, we took a pause in 2013 to allow cash flow to catch up with prior years’ spending. We added 56 new wireline units, 35 well servicing rigs, purchased a coiled tubing business and built 10 Tier 1 AC powered walking drilling rigs during the last three years. After delivering three AC rigs in the first quarter of 2013, we began retiring debt. Since May 2013, we reduced debt by $60 million and are well positioned to continue

a strong culture and sense of pride throughout the Company. With our focus on the vast unconventional resource plays around the country, we were successful in cross-selling our multiple services to many of our clients. In the Eagle Ford Shale, we provide all four of our core services and in the Bakken Shale, we provide everything except coiled tubing services. A number of our clients use two or three of our services and have come to recognize the Pioneer brand for its quality, performance and safety.

DRILLING SERVICES SEGMENT During 2013, we continued the transformation of our drilling fleet to higher margin AC powered walking rigs. After completing seven AC powered rigs in 2012, we delivered our final three newly-built 1500 horsepower AC rigs in the first quarter of 2013. Later in the year, we sold 10 mechanical rigs for a total of 19 mechanical rigs sold or retired since September

(1) Adjusted EBITDA – Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and should not be considered (i) in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income (loss), (ii) as an indication of cash flows from operating activities or (iii) as a measure ofliquidity. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for discretionary use. We define Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) before interest income (expense), taxes, depreciation, amortization and any impairments. We use this measure, together with our GAAP financial metrics, to assess our financial performance and evaluate our overall progress towards meeting our long-term financial objectives. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors and analysts in allowing for greater transparency of our operating performance and makes it easier to compare our results with those of other companies within our industry. Adjusted EBITDA, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA measures reported by other companies. For a reconciliation of the difference between this financial measure which is not in accordance with GAAP and the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, see the last page of this Annual Report following the Form 10K.

Certain information in this Annual Report, including information related to the retirement of our indebtedness, our future revenue stream, our future investment focus, future market conditions, fleet size, rig utilization, drilling contracts, and hourly rates, as well as other statements that express a belief, expectation or intention, and those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan, “intend,” “seek,” “will,” “should,” “goal” or other words and phrases of similar import that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the preparation of this Annual Report. We disclaim any obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These risks, contingencies and uncertainties include, among other matters, the risks set forth in Item 1A—“Risk Factors” of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. These risks, contingencies and uncertainties could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in a forward-looking statement contained in this Annual Report. Unpredictable or unknown factors we have not discussed in this Annual Report or elsewhere could also have material adverse effects on actual results of matters that are the subject of our forward-looking statements. We advise our shareholders to (1) be aware that important factors not referred to above could affect the accuracy of our forward-looking statements and (2) use caution and common sense when considering our forward-looking statements.
