Looking ahead, H&P remains optimistic about its long-term prospects, with a focus on maintaining a steady rig count and enhancing its customer value proposition. The company anticipates a modest decrease in rig count due to market volatility but remains committed to leveraging its performance contracts and technology solutions to drive future growth. Management’s outlook reflects confidence in navigating industry cyclicality and achieving greater scale through disciplined operations and strategic expansions.
