Description: PTEN Patterson-UTI Energy November 10, 2025
Patterson-UTI Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: PTEN) delivers drilling, completion, and drilling-product services to oil and natural-gas E&P firms across the United States and select international markets. The business is organized into three operating segments: Drilling Services (contract and directional drilling, MWD, and related software), Completion Services (hydraulic fracturing, wireline, cementing, and ancillary power-logistics solutions), and Drilling Products (design, manufacture, sale, and rental of polycrystalline-diamond-compact drill bits and other land-based tooling).
In the most recent quarter (Q4 2023), PTEN generated approximately $1.2 billion in revenue, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of roughly 12 %. The company reported a fleet of about 30 active rigs and a year-over-year increase of 5 % in its US drilling-activity index, reflecting a modest rebound in upstream spending as oil prices have hovered near $80 per barrel. Capital expenditures were around $250 million, primarily directed toward expanding its high-precision MWD and directional-drilling software suite.
Key macro drivers for PTEN include the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s forecast of 1.5 million b/d net oil-demand growth in 2024 and the continued shift toward higher-efficiency drilling technologies that can lower per-well costs-a trend that benefits PTEN’s software-enabled services.
