PRECISION DRILLING CORPORATION PROVIDES ACTIVITY UPDATE

Precision Drilling Corp. has provided an update on its North American drilling operations.

In Canada, Precision has 46 rigs active and expects to have over 60 rigs active by the end of the month as it begins to emerge from the lows of spring breakup. To date, the wildfires in Alberta and British Columbia have had a modest impact on the company's operations and it expects second quarter activity to average approximately 42 rigs, a 14-per-cent increase over last year. In the United States, Precision's active rig count is currently 50 and activity may further soften in the coming weeks. For the second quarter, the company expects its U.S. activity to average approximately 50 rigs. Precision continues to sign new customer contracts, with multiple rigs starting in the second half of the year, and anticipates a return to activity growth with supportive commodity prices.

The company remains confident in Precision's ability to successfully execute its 2023 strategic priorities, which include reducing debt by at least $150-million and utilizing 10 per cent to 20 per cent of free cash flow before principal payments to repurchase shares.
