Production increased in all five of Unit’s core areas during the quarter
as compared to the first quarter. In the Mid Continent, which includes
the Granite Wash, Hoxbar (SOHOT), Marmaton, and Mississippian
formations, production increased approximately 10%, and in the SE Texas
Wilcox formation production increased approximately 17%. At the end of
the quarter, 15 Unit drilling rigs were operating as compared to 10
drilling rigs at the end of the first quarter. Currently, there are five
drilling rigs in the Granite Wash, three in the SOHOT, two in the
Wilcox, two in the Marmaton, one in the Mississippian, one in the
Cleveland, and one in the Cherokee for a total of 15 drilling rigs. Unit
expects to maintain between 14 and 16 drilling rigs for the remainder of
2014.
In SOHOT, production increased 81% in the quarter as compared to the
first quarter, primarily as a result of our first operated Marchand
horizontal completion. The Unit operated GB Ranch #1 30H (80% working
interest) has produced approximately 105,000 barrels of oil and 60
million cubic feet (MMcf) of gas in 115 days. Current production is
approximately 600 barrels of oil per day and 400 Mcf per day. Two
additional Unit operated horizontal Marchand wells located in the same
section are currently being drilled and completed with anticipated first
sales for both wells anticipated to occur in August. In the SOHOT
Medrano, Unit recently completed the Cody #1-36H (58% working interest)
at a daily peak rate of approximately 5.2 MMcf per day and 324 barrels
of oil per day. The 30-day and 60-day initial rate was approximately 3.8
MMcf per day plus 240 barrels of oil per day and 3.5 MMcf per day plus
200 barrels of oil per day, respectively.
In the Granite Wash (GW) Buffalo Wallow field, Unit is continuing to
optimize the production operations by testing several types of
artificial lift on the initial nine horizontal wells. To date, the GW
“C1” and “B” zones have yielded the best results. Three “C1” wells were
completed on three separate pads in the field. The average peak daily
rate for the three “C1” wells was approximately 7.0 MMcfe per day. The
three wells had an average 30-day and 60-day initial rate of
approximately 5.2 MMcfe per day and 4.6 MMcfe per day, respectively. The
“C1” zone is estimated to contain approximately 51% liquids. The GW “B”
zone currently has one completion. The peak daily production rate was
approximately 7.1 MMcfe per day. The 30- and 60-day initial rate was
approximately 6.1 MMcfe per day and 4.9 MMcfe per day, respectively. The
“B” zone contains approximately 40% liquids. The GW “E” (3 wells), “F1”
(1 well) and “D” (1 well) zones tested at initial 30-day average rates
of approximately 4.0 MMcfe per day, 2.6 MMcfe per day and 2.0 MMcfe per
day, respectively. Additional production history is needed for the “E,”
“F1” and “D” to determine if these zones will be economic at current
commodity prices. Currently, two drilling rigs are drilling in the
Buffalo Wallow field, both on three well pads. One pad will target the
“B,” “C1” and “G” zones with estimated first sales occurring in the
fourth quarter. The second pad will test the “B,” “C1” and “A” zones
with estimated first sales in the first quarter of 2015. The average
completed well cost for a Buffalo Wallow well is approximately $6.0
million.
Larry Pinkston, Unit’s Chief Executive Officer and President, said: “We
are pleased with the results of our exploration program. We have made
good progress following a challenging first quarter. Production has
begun to ramp up, which we expect to continue throughout the remainder
of the year. Our prospect inventory continues to remain strong.”
CONTRACT DRILLING SEGMENT INFORMATION
The average number of drilling rigs used in the quarter was 73.5, an
increase of 13% over the second quarter of 2013, and an increase of 8%
over the first quarter of 2014. Per day drilling rig rates for the
quarter averaged $19,904, an increase of 2% over the second quarter of
2013 and 1% over the first quarter of 2014. Average per day operating
margin for the quarter was $8,317 (before elimination of intercompany
drilling rig profit and bad debt expense of $7.8 million). This compares
to $7,597 (before elimination of intercompany drilling rig profit and
bad debt expense of $3.7 million) for the second quarter of 2013, an
increase of 9%, or $720. As compared to the first quarter of 2014
($7,870 before elimination of intercompany drilling rig profit and bad
debt expense of $5.3 million), second quarter 2014 operating margin
increased 6% or $447 (in each case regarding eliminating intercompany
drilling rig profit and bad debt expense – see Non-GAAP Financial
Measures below).
For the first six months of 2014, Unit averaged 70.7 drilling rigs
working, an increase of 7% over the 65.8 drilling rigs working during
the first six months of 2013. Average per day operating margin for the
first six months of 2014 was $8,104 (before elimination of intercompany
drilling rig profit and bad debt expense of $13.1 million) as compared
to $7,565 (before elimination of intercompany drilling rig profit and
bad debt expense of $7.1 million) for the first six months of 2013, an
increase of 7% (in each case regarding eliminating intercompany drilling
rig profit and bad debt expense – see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below).
Larry Pinkston said: “Drilling rig demand continued at a steady increase
during the quarter. Almost all of our drilling rigs working today are
drilling for oil or NGLs. With our first BOSS drilling rig added in the
first quarter, our drilling fleet currently totals 118 drilling rigs. Of
the 118 drilling rigs, we currently have 80 drilling rigs working under
contract. Long-term contracts (contracts with original terms ranging
from six months to two years in length) are in place for 35 of the 80
drilling rigs. Of the 35 long term contracts, five are up for renewal in
the third quarter, 12 in the fourth quarter, and 18 are up for renewal
in 2015. Our first BOSS drilling rig, which originally was placed into
service with our oil and natural gas segment, has now been contracted to
a third party operator that plans to take delivery in the fourth quarter
of 2014. Five additional BOSS drilling rigs have been contracted to be
built for third party operators and are expected to be placed into
service during the balance of 2014 and early 2015. Operator reception of
this new drilling rig design has been very positive, and we are
confident that we will procure additional contracts in the near future.
We have modified our building schedule for the BOSS drilling rig with
the objective of staying two drilling rigs ahead of contracts in place.”

Larry Pinkston said: “Our midstream segment continues to grow
organically, connecting 44 additional wells during the second quarter.
Despite not recovering all ethane during the quarter, our liquids sold
volumes and gas processed volumes continue to increase with limited
incremental capital expenditure.”
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Unit ended the quarter with long-term debt of $645.9 million (all
consisting of Unit’s senior subordinated notes), and a debt to
capitalization ratio of 22%. Unit had no borrowings under its credit
agreement. Unit’s credit agreement provides that the amount Unit could
borrow is the lesser of the amount it elects as the commitment amount
(currently $500 million) or the value of its borrowing base as
determined by the lenders (currently $900 million), but in either event
not to exceed $900 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Unit Corporation reports its financial results in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company believes
certain non-GAAP performance measures provide users of its financial
information and its management additional meaningful information to
evaluate the performance of the company.
This press release includes cash flow from operations before changes in
operating assets and liabilities, its drilling segment’s average daily
operating margin before elimination of intercompany drilling rig profit
and bad debt expense, and net income and earnings per share including
only the effect of the cash settled commodity derivatives.
Below is a reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP
financial measures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and
2013. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered by themselves
or a substitute for results reported in accordance with GAAP.
