Quality and Safety Management System

Our drilling and project management operations are governed by the Parker Drilling Quality and Safety Management System (QMS), which is our vision
for operations and HSE management. This documentation formalizes Parker’s management process for drilling operations, corrective/preventive
actions, supplier qualification, and preventive maintenance. Parker Drilling rigorously documents, maintains and updates its QMS to ensure that drilling
services conform to industry standardized best practices and customer requirements.

Parker’s Actions
 We have made significant investments in providing our employees with a full curriculum of HSE and technical training, to ensure our people
are prepared for safe operations while meeting our performance objectives. Our training systems were met with such a positive response from our
customers that we established the Parker Training Center to train not only our own employees, but those of our customers and other personnel
inside and outside of our industry.
 We have a long history in creating technologies which improve drilling efficiency, reduce environmental impacts, and enhance safety in drilling
operations. Our AC Variable Frequency Drive land rigs and our FEED, EPCI and O&M projects, which produced two of the most powerful land rigs
in the world, are the most recent examples of our success in advancing the technology of safety and efficiency.
