Rotary Rig Count

The rotary rig count is the average number of drilling rigs actively exploring for oil and gas.

Rig count is one of the primary measures of the health of the exploration segment.

It is a measure of the oil & gas industry’s confidence in its own future.

External risks• Energy prices

• Typically when energy prices are high, demand for Precision’s services increases.

• Markets for oil and NG are becoming more separate.

EIA short term forecast for Henry Hub natural gas average spot price in 2010 is $5.17 per MMBtu ($1.22 increase over 2009), $5.65 in 2011.

Crude oil is expected to rise to $82 per barrel by the end of the year, and hitting $85 per barrel by 2011.

Oil and gas consumption will be tied to the state of the global economy. The faster the economic recovery, the faster we can see oil and gas consumption increase.

Services

Specialized drilling

• Defined as any drilling project that , by virtue of its scope, technical complexity or location, creates significant barriers to entry for smaller drilling companies

• It includes deep-hole drilling, directional drilling, and mobilizations to remote locations or high altitudes

Conventional drilling

• It is much more affected by the industry cycle• This part of the industry is highly fragmented

and has numerous competitors• Since MDI offers only limited differentiation in

this sector, it is not its priority for investment

Underground Drilling

• It takes on greater importance in the latter stages of the mining cycle as clients develop underground mines

• Growth is relatively flat

Historical Summary

Recommendation

• Buy• In the long run, mining companies continue to deplete the more easily accessible mineral reserves around

the world and attractive deposits will be in increasingly remote locations, areas difficult to access and/or deep in the ground

• Excellent financial position and remained debt-free, net of cash• With rising rig utilization levels industry-wide, its contract pricing power will return in the near future.
