 and considers information from multiple resources. Subject to Board approval in certain circumstances, the Nominating, Governance and Compensation Committee has the sole authority to make final decisions with respect to our executive compensation program, and the Nominating, Governance and Compensation Committee is not obligated to utilize the input of other parties. The Nominating, Governance and Compensation Committee has the authority to engage a compensation consultant at any time if the Nominating, Governance and Compensation Committee determines that it would be appropriate to consider the recommendations of an independent, outside source. During 2024, the Nominating, Governance and Compensation Committee continued its engagement of Compensation Advisory Partners (“CAP”), an independent compensation consultant. CAP reviewed both our executive compensation program and our non-executivedirector compensation program for 2024 and produced compensation reports for the Nominating, Governance and Compensation Committee over the course of 2024. These reports were utilized by the Nominating, Governance and Compensation Committee when making certain compensation decisions for the executives and the non-executivedirectors for 2024. CAP also provided the Nominating, Governance and Compensation Committee with recommendations and advice during the process of selecting an appropriate peer group for 2024 compensation purposes. The Nominating, Governance and Compensation Committee informed CAP that its general criteria for selecting a peer group consisted of:

| • |     | companies that are direct competitors for the same space, products and/or services; |

| • |     | companies that compete with us for the same executive talent; |

| • |     | companies in a similar Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code or industry sector; |

| • |     | companies that are generally subject to the same market conditions (or, more specifically, oilfield services companies); and |

| • |     | companies that are tracked similarly or that are considered comparable investments by outside analysts. |

In May 2024, the Nominating, Governance and Compensation Committee and CAP determined that an appropriate peer group should consist of the following 13 peer companies that are most statistically related to us with a similar revenue size:

| • |     | Cactus, Inc. |

| • |     | Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. |

| • |     | Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. |

| • |     | Independence Contract Drilling, Inc. |
