Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 19, 2026, Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its previously announced offering (the “Offering”) of $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.050% Senior Notes due 2036 (the “Notes”). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to redeem its outstanding 3.95% Senior Notes due 2028 and for general corporate purposes.

The Notes were issued pursuant to the base indenture, dated as of November 15, 2019, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the third supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of May 19, 2026, between the Company and the Trustee.

The Company will pay interest on the Notes on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The Notes will mature on May 15, 2036. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.050% per annum.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company, which rank equally with all other existing and future senior unsecured debt of the Company and will rank senior in right of payment to all other future subordinated debt of the Company. The Notes will be effectively subordinated to any of the future secured debt of the Company to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. In addition, the Notes will be structurally subordinated to the liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes. None of the Company’s subsidiaries are currently required to be a guarantor under the Notes. If any of the Company’s subsidiaries guarantee the Notes in the future, such guarantees (the “Guarantees”) will rank equally in right of payment with all of the guarantors’ future unsecured senior debt and senior in right of payment to all of the guarantors’ future subordinated debt. The Guarantees will be effectively subordinated to any of the guarantors’ future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt.

The Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to February 15, 2036 at a redemption price described in the Supplemental Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. Additionally, commencing on February 15, 2036, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The above description of the Supplemental Indenture and the Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Supplemental Indenture and the form of note.

Securities are issuable;

WHEREAS, Sections 2.01, 2.03 and 9.01 of the Original Indenture provide that the form or terms of any series of

Securities may be established in a supplemental indenture, and the Company desires to establish in this Third Supplemental Indenture both the form and terms of a separate series of Securities designated as its 6.050% Senior Notes due 2036 (the

“Notes”); and

WHEREAS, all things necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Third Supplemental Indenture, to

establish the Notes as provided for in this Third Supplemental Indenture, and to make the Original Indenture, as supplemented with respect to the Notes by this Third Supplemental Indenture and as it may otherwise be supplemented thereafter with

applicability to the Notes (the Original Indenture, as so supplemented, being sometimes referred to herein as the “Indenture”), a valid agreement of the Company, in accordance with its terms, have been done;

NOW, THEREFORE, that, for and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Notes by the Holders, the Company and the Trustee

mutually covenant and agree, solely for the equal and proportionate benefit of the respective Holders from time to time of Notes, as follows:

SUPPLEMENT OF THE

ORIGINAL INDENTURE

SECTION 1.01 Supplement to Article I of the Original Indenture.

“Attributable

Debt” means, with respect to any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction as of any particular time, the present value discounted at the rate of interest implicit in the terms of the lease of the obligations of the lessee under such lease for net

rental payments during the remaining term of the lease.

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following:

(a) the sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than

by way of merger, amalgamation or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions approved by the Board of Directors of the Company as part of a single plan, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries

taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than to the Company or one or more of the Subsidiaries or a combination thereof or a Person controlled by the Company or one or

more of the Subsidiaries or a combination thereof; or

than 50% of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company or other Voting Stock into which the Voting Stock of the Company is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged, converted or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares (excluding

a redomestication of the Company).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a “Change of Control” if, as a

result of such transaction, (i) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of a holding company and (ii) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following such

transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction.

consideration (whether in the form of cash or non-cash consideration) in excess of $25,000,000 that has occurred since the end of such fiscal quarter, as if such acquisition or disposition had occurred on the

last day of such fiscal quarter).

“Fitch” means Fitch Ratings, Inc., and its successors.

“Funded Debt” means Debt which by its terms matures at, or is extendible or renewable at the option of the obligor to, a date more

than twelve months after the date of the creation of such Debt.

“Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of

Moody’s); a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of S&P); a rating of BBB- or better by Fitch (or its

equivalent under any successor rating category of Fitch); and the equivalent investment grade rating from any replacement Rating Agency or Agencies appointed by the Company.

“Issue Date” means May 19, 2026, the date on which the Notes are first authenticated and delivered under the Indenture.

“Joint Venture” means any partnership, corporation or other entity in which up to and including 50% of the partnership interests,

outstanding Voting Stock or other equity interests is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company and/or one or more Subsidiaries. A Joint Venture is not treated as a Subsidiary.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following

two paragraphs:

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on

U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such

day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”)

under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable:

(1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly

equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the

Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant

maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on

H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate

based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity

that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call

Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or

more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury

securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked

prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to

maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and

rounded to three decimal places.

(b) Section 1.02 of the Original Indenture is supplemented or superseded with respect to the Notes by

assets of the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, for so long as such Debt is so secured, except that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:

(a) Mortgages on any property acquired, constructed, developed, operated,

altered, repaired or improved by the Company or any Subsidiary (or Mortgages on the shares or stock of, or other equity interests in, a Subsidiary which holds no material assets other than the property other than the property being acquired,

such purchase price or cost); provided that in the case of such construction, development, operation, alteration, repair or improvement, the Mortgages shall not apply to any property owned by the Company or any Subsidiary before such

(2) personal property which is so improved;

entity becomes a Subsidiary or is consolidated with or merged with or into the Company or a Subsidiary, including Mortgages on the shares of stock of, or other equity interests in, such corporation, partnership or other entity; provided that

in the case of clause (3) such Mortgages shall only apply to property owned by, or shares of stock of or other equity interests in, such corporation, partnership or other entity at the time it becomes a Subsidiary or that is acquired thereafter

other than from the Company or another Subsidiary;

(d) Mortgages in favor of domestic or foreign governmental bodies to secure advances or other payments or performance pursuant

conduct of the business of the Company or a Subsidiary or to the ownership of its properties which do not materially adversely affect the value of said properties or materially impair their use in the operation of the business of the Company or a

Subsidiary;

(j) Mortgages arising by virtue of any statutory or common law provisions relating to bankers’ liens,

rights of set-off or similar rights and remedies as to deposit accounts or other funds maintained with a depository institution;

ordinary course of business;

(n) Mortgages granted by the Company or any Subsidiary on its rights under any insurance

successive extensions, renewals, substitutions, refinancings or replacements), in whole or in part, of any Mortgage referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (n), inclusive; provided that such extension, renewal, substitution,

refinancing or replacement Mortgage shall not extend beyond the property or assets that secured the Mortgage extended, renewed, substituted, refinanced or replaced, plus improvements on such property or assets, unless otherwise permitted by this

covenant, and the Debt secured by such Mortgage is not greater in principal amount than the Debt secured by the Mortgage extended, renewed, substituted, refinanced or replaced plus the amount of any premiums, fees and expenses incurred in connection

therewith.

In addition to the foregoing exceptions to the limitations set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 4.08, the

Company and any Subsidiary may, without securing the Notes, issue, assume or guarantee Debt secured by a Mortgage in an aggregate principal amount that, taken together with the Attributable Debt described in the following sentence, does not in the

aggregate exceed the greater of (i) $500,000,000 or (ii) 15.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at the time of incurrence. The Attributable Debt to be aggregated for purpose of this exception is all Attributable Debt in respect of Sale and

(2) the acquisition, construction, development, operation, alteration, repair or improvement of other property, provided that such property is owned by the Company or a Subsidiary free and clear of all Mortgages.

THE NOTES

SECTION 2.01 Form and

Terms.

The Notes shall be issued upon original issuance in whole in the form of one or more Global Securities (the

“Global Notes”). The Depository Trust Company and the Trustee are hereby designated as the Depositary and the Security Custodian, respectively, for the Global Notes under the Indenture. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of

authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Form of Note”). The terms of the Notes set forth on Exhibit A hereto are incorporated by reference herein as if set forth herein in their entirety.

SECTION 2.02 Designation, Amount, etc.

(a) The Notes shall be entitled the “6.050% Senior Notes due 2036” of the Company. The Notes shall be separate series of Securities

under the Indenture.

(b) The initial limit upon the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under

the Indenture (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Section 2.08, 2.09, 2.12, 2.17, 3.07 or 9.05 of the Indenture and except for any Notes

which, pursuant to Section 2.04 or 2.17 of the Indenture, are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered thereunder) is $500,000,000; provided, however, that the authorized aggregate principal amount of the Notes may be

increased before or after the issuance of any Notes by a Board Resolution (or action pursuant to a Board Resolution) to such effect.

(c)

The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (i) on the Issue Date, $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the series of Securities designated the 6.050% Senior Notes due 2036 established hereunder (the “Initial Notes”) and

satisfaction of the other provisions of Section 2.04 of the Original Indenture.

(d) The Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes shall be treated as

a single series for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments and redemptions; provided, however, that in the event that any Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal

income tax purposes, such non-fungible Additional Notes shall be issued with a separate CUSIP number and ISIN so they are distinguishable from the Initial Notes.

(e) The Notes shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.03(b) of the Original Indenture (and shall not constitute Rule 144A

Trustee or by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in respect of a Definitive Note shall be made by

wire transfer to a Dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if the Holder of such Definitive Note elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating

such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

(e) The Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes initially shall be the Trustee.

SECTION 2.04 Subsidiary Guarantors.

The Notes shall be entitled to the benefits of a Guarantee by each Subsidiary of the Company that becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to

(i) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase

all or any part (provided that no partial repurchase of a Note will be required to the extent such repurchase would reduce the principal amount of such Note to less than $2,000) of the Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to

101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the repurchase date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment

Date), except to the extent that the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as set forth under Section 2.06 or as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.07.

Section 2.06 or as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.07, the Company will send a notice (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each holder of Notes with a copy to the Trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of

Control Offer, stating:

(i) that a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to the Notes has occurred and that such

holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the repurchase date (subject to

the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date);

(ii) a brief description of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute such Change of Control Triggering Event;

sent, if sent after consummation of the Change of Control and (ii) no earlier than the date of the Change of Control nor later than 30 days from such date, if sent prior to consummation of the Change of Control, in each case, other than as may

be required by law) (such date, the “Change of Control Payment Date”); and

(iv) the instructions that a holder

must follow in order to have its Notes purchased.

Offer will be required to surrender their Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Notes to the

Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent and the Depositary, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

(e) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes

validly tender and do not withdraw the Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company, as set forth in Section 2.07(f), purchases all of the Notes validly tendered

and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company shall have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to

redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a Redemption Price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of

Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date). Any such redemption pursuant to this Section 2.07(e) shall be made in accordance with Article III of the Original Indenture.

(f) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and

otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

(g) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other

securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the terms set forth in this Section 2.07, the

Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations hereunder by virtue thereof.

(h) The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes and in accordance with

[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

PATTERSON-UTI ENERGY, INC.

6.050% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2036

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of 6.050% Senior Notes due 2036 (the “Securities”) of Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

1. Interest. The

Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at 6.050% per annum. The Company will pay interest semiannually on May 15 and November 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), or if any such

day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent Interest Payment Date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from May 19, 2026;

provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Security is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof (each, a “Record Date”) and the next succeeding Interest Payment

Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be November 15, 2026. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and premium (if any)

from time to time at a rate equal to the interest rate then in effect; it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will

be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered

Holders of Securities at the close of business on the Record Date next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities are canceled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this

Security to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay the principal of, premium (if any) on and interest on the Securities in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of

public and private debts. Such amounts shall be payable at the offices of the Trustee (as defined below). Payments in respect of Global Securities shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder

thereof. In all other cases, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the register of

the Notes maintained by the Registrar. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in respect of a Definitive Note in certificated form shall be made by wire transfer to a Dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if the

Holder of such Definitive Note elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect in accordance with the Indenture (as defined below).

3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (the “Trustee”), the trustee under

the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Subsidiary of the Company may act in any such capacity.

A-5

4. Indenture. The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture, dated as of

November 15, 2019 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee, as amended and supplemented with respect to the Securities by the Third Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of May 19, 2026 and as it may

otherwise be amended and supplemented thereafter with applicability to the Securities (the Base Indenture, as so amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”). The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made

part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of execution of the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the

Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms and for the definitions of capitalized terms used but not defined herein. The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company limited to $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount;

provided, however, that the authorized aggregate principal amount of the Securities may be increased before or after the issuance of any Securities by a Board Resolution (or action pursuant to a Board Resolution) to such effect. The Base

Indenture provides for the issuance of other series of debt securities (including the Securities, the “Debt Securities”) thereunder.

5. Future Subsidiary Guarantees. The Securities shall be entitled to the benefits of a Guarantee by each Subsidiary of the Company that

becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the Indenture. As of the Issue Date, there are no Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Subsidiary of the Company that becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the Indenture will fully, unconditionally and

absolutely guarantee to the Holders and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities and all other amounts due and payable under the Indenture and the Securities by the Company,

when and as such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms of the Securities and the Indenture,

subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture. In the event of a default in payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption

or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or, subject to the Indenture, by the Holders, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, directly against any Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce its

Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor.

6. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The

Securities are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and

the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. Neither the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee

nor the Registrar shall be required to register the transfer or exchange of (a) any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part, or (b) any Security during the

period beginning 15 Business Days before the giving of notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed or a notice of a Change of Control Offer and ending at the close of business on the day of transmission.

7. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as its owner for all purposes.

A-6

8. Redemption. The Securities are subject to redemption at the option of the Company,

in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, in principal amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above such amount (provided that the unredeemed portion of any Security redeemed in part may not be less than $2,000),

upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice as provided in the Indenture, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded up to three decimal places) equal to (i) if the Redemption Date is

prior to February 15, 2036, the greater of (1)(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Notes matured on February 15, 2036) on a

semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption

Date and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed; or (ii) if the Redemption Date is on or after February 15, 2036, 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus, in each of clauses

(i) and (ii), accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

9. Amendments and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented

with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of all series affected by such amendment or supplement (acting as one class), and any existing or past Default or Event of Default under, or

compliance with any provision of, the Indenture may be waived (other than any continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium (if any) on or interest on the Securities) by the Holders of a majority in principal

amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of any series or of all series (acting as one class) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, and the Trustee may

amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities or waive any provision of either: (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; (ii) if required, to provide for the assumption of the obligations of the Company under the

Indenture in the case of the merger, consolidation, amalgamation or sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of assets of the Company substantially as an entirety; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of

certificated Securities; (iv) to provide any security for, any guarantees of or additional obligors or guarantors on, the Securities or the related Guarantees, if any, or release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantee in the manner

provided in the Indenture; (v) to comply with any requirement in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (vi) to add to the covenants of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of the

Holders of the Securities, or to surrender any right or power conferred by the Indenture upon the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor; (vii) to add any additional Events of Default with respect to all or any series of the Debt Securities;

(viii) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture, provided that the Holders of outstanding Securities are not adversely affected in any material respect; (ix) to supplement any of the provisions of the Indenture to such

extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of the Securities pursuant to the Indenture; or (x) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture by a successor Trustee with

respect to the Securities and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts thereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of the

Indenture.

A-7

The right of any Holder to participate in any consent required or sought pursuant to any

provision of the Indenture (and the obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to obtain any such consent otherwise required from such Holder) may be subject to the requirement that such Holder shall have been the Holder of record of any

Securities with respect to which such consent is required or sought as of a date identified by the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor in a notice furnished to Holders in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

Without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (i) reduce the amount of Debt Securities whose

Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; (ii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Security; (iii) reduce the principal of or premium on, or change the Stated

Maturity of, any Security; (iv) reduce the premium, if any, payable upon the redemption of any Security or change the time at which any Security may or shall be redeemed; (v) change the coin or currency in which any Security or any premium

or interest with respect thereto is payable; (vi) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal of or premium (if any) or interest on any Security, except as provided in the Indenture; (vii) make any

change in the percentage of principal amount of Debt Securities necessary to waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or make any change in the provision for modification; or (viii) waive a continuing Default or Event of

Default in the payment of principal of or premium (if any) or interest on the Securities.

A supplemental indenture that changes or

eliminates any covenant or other provision of the Base Indenture, as supplemented from time to time, which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Debt Securities under the Base Indenture, or which

modifies the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under the Indenture of the Holders of Debt Securities of any other series.

10. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are defined in the Indenture and generally include: (i) default for 30 days in

payment of any interest on the Securities; (ii) default in any payment of principal of or premium, if any, on the Securities as and when due and payable; (iii) default by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor in compliance with any of

its other covenants or agreements in, or provisions of, the Securities or in the Indenture which shall not have been remedied within 60 days after written notice by the Trustee or by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities

then outstanding (or, in the event that other Debt Securities issued under the Base Indenture are also affected by the default, then 25% in principal amount of all outstanding Debt Securities so affected); (iv) certain events involving bankruptcy,

insolvency or reorganization of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, considered in the aggregate as a single Subsidiary, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or

(v) any Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, considered in the aggregate as a single Subsidiary, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force

and effect with respect to Securities (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture). If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities (or, in the

case of an Event of Default described in clause (iii) above, if outstanding Debt Securities of other series are affected by such Default, then at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities so affected), may declare

the

A-8

principal of and interest on all the Securities (or such Debt Securities) to be immediately due and payable, except that in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (iv) above,

all outstanding Debt Securities under the Base Indenture become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. The amount due and payable upon the acceleration of any Security is equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus

accrued interest to the date of payment. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require security or indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the

Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities (or affected Debt Securities) may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from

Holders notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of principal, premium or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests. The Company must furnish annual compliance certificates to the Trustee.

11. Discharge Prior to Maturity. The Indenture with respect to the Securities shall be discharged and canceled upon the payment of all

of the Securities and shall be discharged except for certain obligations upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of any combination of funds and Government Obligations sufficient for such payment.

12. Trustee Dealings with Company or Subsidiary Guarantors, if any. The Trustee, in its

individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates, and may otherwise deal

with the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any such Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.

13. No Recourse Against Others. The

Trustee, and each Holder of a Security by its acceptance hereof, will be deemed to have agreed in the Indenture that no director, manager, member, officer, employee, stockholder, partner, unitholder or other owner of the Company, any Subsidiary

Guarantor, the Trustee or any Affiliate of the foregoing entities shall have any liability in respect of the obligations of the Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee under the Indenture, the Securities or any related Guarantees by reason

of his, her or its status. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issuance of Securities.

14. Authentication. This Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating

agent.

15. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures,

the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Securities as a convenience to the Holders of the Securities. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Securities and reliance may be placed only on the

other identification numbers printed thereon.

16. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an

assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

Re:

Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc.

Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-274345)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)

of a Registration Statement on Form S-3, file no. 333-274345 (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the

“Securities Act”), the prospectus, dated September 5, 2023, included therein, the prospectus supplement, dated May 5, 2026, filed with the Commission on May 7, 2026 pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act

(the “Prospectus Supplement”), and the offering by the Company pursuant thereto of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.050% Senior Notes due 2036 (the “Notes”).

The Notes have been issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of November 15, 2019 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and

U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated May 19, 2026 relating to the

Notes (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee.

In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true and

complete copies of the originals, of the Base Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture, the Notes and such other documents, corporate records, certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed

necessary or advisable to enable us to render these opinions. In our examination, we have assumed, without independent investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of

all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. As to any facts material to these opinions, we have relied to the extent we deemed appropriate and without independent

investigation upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject

to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Notes are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP

811 Main Street Suite 3000 | Houston, TX 77002-6117 | T: 346.718.6600 | F: 346.718.6620 | gibsondunn.com

The opinion expressed above is subject to the following additional exceptions, qualifications, limitations

and assumptions:

A. We render no opinion herein as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York, the

United States of America and the Delaware General Corporation Law. We are not admitted to practice in the State of Delaware; however, we are generally familiar with the Delaware General Corporation Law as currently in effect and have made such

inquiries as we consider necessary to render the opinions contained herein. Without limitation, we do not express any opinion regarding any Delaware contract law. This opinion is limited to the effect of the current state of the laws of the State of

New York, the laws of the United States of America and, to the limited extent set forth above, the laws of the State of Delaware and the facts as they currently exist. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion in the event of

future changes in such laws or the interpretations thereof or such facts.

B. The opinion above is subject to (i) the effect of any

bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, arrangement or similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors’ generally, including without limitation the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent transfers or

preferential transfers, (ii) general principles of equity, including without limitation concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other

equitable remedies regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and (iii) the provisions of Article Eleven of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company.

C. We express no opinion regarding the effectiveness of (i) any waiver of stay, extension or usury laws or of unknown future rights;

(ii) any waiver (whether or not stated as such) under the Indenture or the certificates evidencing the global Notes (together, the “Specified Note Documents”) of, or any consent thereunder relating to, unknown future rights or the

rights of any party thereto existing, or duties owing to it, as a matter of law; (iii) any waiver (whether or not stated as such) contained in the Specified Note Documents of rights of any party, or duties owing to it, that is broadly or

vaguely stated or does not describe the right or duty purportedly waived with reasonable specificity; (iv) provisions relating to indemnification, exculpation or contribution, to the extent such provisions may be held unenforceable as contrary

to public policy or federal or state securities laws or due to the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified party; (v) any purported fraudulent transfer “savings” clause; (vi) any waiver of the right to jury trial or

(vii) any provision to the effect that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to any other right or remedy or that the election of some particular remedy does not preclude recourse to one or more others.

to the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement. In giving these consents, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required

under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
