1 The Future of Offshore Drilling: Beyond Ultra Deep Chris Beckett, CEO Pacific Drilling S.A. September 22, 2014

2 Pacific Drilling: Committed to being the Preferred Ultra Deepwater Driller Only 100% high specification, ultradeepwater fleet NYSE: PACD Market Cap: $2.0 billion (1) Substantial growth and more to come 1Q2011 3Q2014 Number of Rigs 4 8 Number of operating rigs 0 6 Number of drilling contracts 2 6 Contract backlog (billion) $1.5 $3.0 (2) Number of employees ~500 ~1, Closing stock price of $9.34 as of September 19, 2014 and 217.3m shares outstanding. 2. As of September 1, 2014

3 Notion of Disruptive Technology A new technology that gets its start away from the mainstream of a market and then, as its functionality improves over time, invades the main market (C. Christensen, 1997) Established technology (Kelly) Successful Successor technology (Top Drive) Such new technology is disruptive because it may: Revolutionize industry structure and competition Make established strategies obsolete Cause the decline of established companies 3 Source: Haiyang Li, Rice University

4 Offshore Drilling: Over 100 years of technological progress Platforms enable drilling of first submerged wells Mobile offshore barge drilling rigs Semi-submersible drilling rigs Large displacement shipshape hull forms with dynamic positioning ? Jack-up drilling rigs Top drive Dual derrick, offline handling & rig floor automation 4

5 Newbuild cycles are driven by technology shifts Current floater fleet by delivery year Rig automation & focus on rig efficiency Top drive Big hulls & DP nd Gen 3 rd 4 th Gen 5 th Gen 6 th Gen Source: IHS Petrodata

9 There is demand for newest drillships in all water depths 87% of high spec floaters operate in less than 7,500 ft water depth By operating water depth (ft) 13% 34% 53% Less than 5,000 5,000 7,499 7,500 or greater 9 Source: IHS Petrodata as of August 3, Analysis by Pacific Drilling using most recent well depth data available for each rig.

10 Deepwater rig design has evolved to satisfy client needs Desired design features: Consistent, Proven Design & Drilling Proven design & drilling package Package Fleet wide Water Depth Capability 10 Water depth capability 12,000 ft 12,000 ft. Dual Derricks with ST Hook 1250 ST hook loads; 22,000 MT VDL Loads 2x Single plus Offline & 4x Dual Load Path Dual derrick & offline handling Rigs 200 POB accommodation, 22,000 ST 200+ POB Displacement Up to 40,000 ft drilling depth with one or two six rams BOPs Satisfy operator demand: Guarantees equipment reliability Capable to drill in all water basins Exceeds most demanding wellconstruction requirements Optimizes drilling efficiencies, reduces flat lines during well construction Accommodates needs of remote and complex projects Meets needs for redundant safety systems and latest regulations 10

Priced option exercises, sublets and contracts for less than 1 year in duration not included. 2. Analysis includes rigs with water depth capability greater than 5000 ft and contract dayrate revenue from mutual contracts greater than one year.

12 Next generation of rigs will address well construction challenges Well construction features: Satisfy operator demand: Improved riser margins Safety and well control guarantees Wider drilling window Pushes exploration boundaries Access to deeper reservoir targets Additional reserves Fewer casings / better cement jobs Reduced overall well costs Fewer downhole problems and NPT Reduced economic uncertainty Improved pipe/casing tripping technology Reduced drilling costs 12

13 New, potentially disruptive drilling technologies are already beginning to address operator needs Fully automated tubular handling Managed pressure drilling (MPD) Dual gradient drilling (DGD) Solids & fluid handling Solutions Integrated movement of hydraracker, drillstem & top drive Closed loop circulation system enabling creation of back pressure Advanced form of MPD Better handling of waste returning from wellbore Benefits Remove people from the drill floor Reduce time to drill the well Increase reliability of the drilling process Faster detection of fluid inflow/outflow Faster response to losses/gains Improve riser margins Widen drilling window Remove effect of higher density mud in the riser Debottleneck drilling process Reduce environmental exposure Reduce cost to handle solids & liquids 13
