Patterson-UTI

We were pleased to support the U.S. Department of State’s Houston Energy Course hosted by the Energy Workforce & Technology Council (EWTC) and share a firsthand look at the people and technology behind today’s drilling and completions industries.​

Following a visit to Patterson-UTI Drilling’s Rig-Up Yard, attendees learned more about drilling operations and the equipment, technology and expertise that support today’s drilling programs.​

The group then spent time at our PTEN™ Digital Performance Center, where they explored the breadth of our drilling and completions-related technology and services, including directional drilling and survey correction, and heard from teams across our businesses.​

​Thank you to EWTC for the opportunity to share our expertise and support its mission of educating, supporting and advocating for energy companies and the workers of today and tomorrow.

Recently, employees at our Patterson-UTI corporate office and our Midland office came together to assemble 1,000 care packages for redM, whose mission is to support victims of human trafficking. Before getting started, the team learned more about redM through a presentation from one of the organization's volunteers, who shared the impact of its work and showed a video highlighting the people and communities it serves.

Along with essential items, each bag included a handwritten note of encouragement, adding a personal touch for the individuals who will receive them through redM's programs.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time to make a meaningful difference in our community.
