 Exhibit 10.19 

C&J ENERGY SERVICES 

2015 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 

RESTRICTED SHARE AGREEMENT 

(Replacement Award) 

C&J Energy Services Ltd. (the “Company”), a Bermuda exempted company, hereby awards to you (the “Grantee”), as of the
date set forth on your Bank of America Merrill Lynch online equity award account (the “Date of Grant”), an award of restricted shares (the “Award”), consisting of the number of Shares set forth on your Bank of America Merrill
Lynch online equity award account for that date (the “Restricted Shares”), pursuant to the C&J Energy Services 2015 Long Term Incentive Plan, as may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”). The Award is subject to the terms
of this Restricted Share Agreement (the “Agreement”) and the Plan. The Restricted Shares granted hereunder shall be issued in the name of the Grantee as soon as reasonably practicable after the Date of Grant, pursuant to the terms herein,
and shall be subject to the execution and return of this Agreement by the Grantee through the electronic signature and/or web-based approval and notice process authorized by the Company. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall
have the meaning attributed to such terms under the Plan, unless the context requires otherwise. By executing this Agreement, the Grantee acknowledges that his or her agreement to the covenants set forth in Section 6 is a material inducement to
the Company in granting this Award to the Grantee. 
 The terms and conditions of the Restricted Shares granted hereby, to the extent not
controlled by the terms and conditions contained in the Plan, are as follows: 
 1. No Right to Continued Employee Status or Consultant Service 

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee the right to the continuation of his or her Employee status, or, in the case
of a Consultant, to the continuation of his or her service arrangement, or in either case to interfere with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates to terminate the Grantee’s Business Relationship. 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Relationship” shall mean service to the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate (the
“Company Entities”), or a corporation or parent or subsidiary of such corporation assuming or substituting a new Award for this Award, in the capacity of an Employee, Director or Consultant, as applicable. Without limiting the scope of the
preceding sentence, it is expressly provided that the Grantee’s Business Relationship shall be considered to have Terminated at the time of the termination of the “Subsidiary” or “Affiliate” status under the Plan of the
entity or other organization that employs the Grantee or to which the Grantee provides services as a Consultant. Any question as to whether and when there has been a Termination of the Grantee’s Business Relationship, and the cause of such
Termination, shall be determined by the Committee and its determination shall be final. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee’s employment will not be deemed to have Terminated if the Grantee goes on military leave, medical leave or other
bona fide leave of absence, if the leave was approved by one of the Company Entities in writing and if continued crediting of employment is required 







 
by applicable law, the Company’s policies or the terms of the Grantee’s leave; provided that the vesting dates set forth in Section 2 below may be adjusted in accordance with the
Company’s policies or the terms of the Grantee’s leave. 
 2. Vesting; Forfeiture; Effect of Termination of Service 

If the Grantee continuously maintains his or her Business Relationship from the Date of Grant, then the Restricted Shares will vest on the
dates specified in the vesting schedule set forth on your Bank of America Merrill Lynch online equity award account. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or as otherwise determined by the Committee, if the Grantee’s Business
Relationship Terminates for any reason prior to an applicable vesting date, all Restricted Shares covered by the Award that are not vested as of the date of such Termination shall be returned to or cancelled by the Company, and shall be deemed to
have been forfeited by the Grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the earlier of (a) the date of Grantee’s Disability or (b) the date of Grantee’s death, in either case, prior to any Vesting Date set forth above, all
Restricted Shares covered by the Award that are not vested shall immediately vest as of the date of such Termination. 
 3. Restrictions on Transfer

 (a) The Restricted Shares subject to this Award may not be sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of, and may not be
pledged or otherwise hypothecated (the “Transfer Restrictions”) while the Restricted Shares are subject to forfeiture to the Company pursuant to Section 2. The Transfer Restrictions shall lapse on the same schedule under which the
Restricted Shares vest pursuant to the Vesting Schedule. 
 (b) The foregoing Transfer Restrictions shall not prohibit the sale, transfer or
other disposition of such Restricted Shares pursuant to a definitive agreement executed by the Company in connection with a Corporate Transaction. 
 4.
Escrow, Delivery of Shares and Restrictive Legend 
 (a) Certificates or evidence of book-entry Shares representing the Restricted Shares
shall be issued and held by the Company in escrow and shall remain in the custody of the Company until their delivery to the Grantee or nominee as set forth herein, subject to the Grantee’s delivery of any document which the Committee or
Company may, in its discretion, require as a condition to the delivery of Shares to the Grantee or his or her estate, including, but not limited to delivery of a share power, duly endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Shares. 

(b) Certificates or evidence of book-entry Shares representing the Restricted Shares which have vested and for which the Transfer Restrictions
have lapsed pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement will be delivered to or otherwise made available to the Grantee (or, at the discretion of the Grantee, joint in the names of the Grantee and the Grantee’s spouse) or to the
Grantee’s nominee at such person’s request.

 (c) The certificates representing the Restricted Shares acquired pursuant to this Award shall be
subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or under applicable state and Federal securities or other laws, or under any ruling or regulation of any governmental body or national
securities exchange unless an exemption to such registration or qualification is available and satisfied. The Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 

5. Rights as Shareholder 
 Upon the
issuance and delivery of the Restricted Shares to the Grantee and the entry of the Grantee’s name as a shareholder of record on the books of the Company, the Grantee shall be, unless and until such Restricted Shares are forfeited pursuant to
Section 2 of this Agreement or sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, entitled to all rights of a common shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote such Restricted Shares
and the right to receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect thereto if, as and when declared by the Board; provided, however, that any Shares (or property other than cash) distributed as a
dividend shall be subject to the same Vesting Schedule and subject to the same Transfer Restrictions, and evidenced in the same manner, as such Restricted Shares. 

6. Prohibited Activities 
 (a) If the
Board or the Committee, after full consideration of the facts, finds by majority vote that the Grantee, either during the period of time in which the Grantee is employed by the Company Entities or within two (2) years following the
Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company Entities, has engaged in fraud, embezzlement, theft, commission of a felony, dishonesty, or inimical conduct that, in each case, adversely affects the Company Entities, the Grantee shall
forfeit the entire Award, whether unvested or vested, and shall return to the Company any proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired hereunder (but proceeds received prior to the earlier of (i) the date such prohibited action first occurred or
(ii) one year prior to the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company Entities shall not be subject to return). The decision of the Board or Committee regarding the subject matter of the preceding sentence shall be
final. 
 During the period of time in which the Grantee is employed by the Company Entities and for a period of one (1) year following
the termination of Grantee’s employment with the Company Entities, the Grantee agrees that he or she will not (i) individually or on behalf of his or her subsequent employer or any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, solicit,
divert, or recruit any employee or officer of the Company Entities or induce any employee of the Company Entities, to terminate his or her employment, or (ii) directly or indirectly, as an employee, consultant, principal, agent, trustee or
otherwise engage in any business through a corporation, partnership or other entity that competes directly with any business that is conducted by the Company Entities and that (A) the Grantee was directly or indirectly engaged in on behalf of
the Company Entities or (B) the Grantee obtained confidential information regarding during the course of his or her employment with the Company Entities.

 (b) By accepting this Award, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company Entities do not have an
adequate remedy in damages for the breach by the Grantee of the conditions and covenants set forth in this Agreement and agrees that the Company Entities are entitled to and may obtain an order or a decree of specific performance against the Grantee
issued by any court having jurisdiction. 
 7. Taxation 

The Grantee understands that, unless a timely election is made pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”), when the Restricted Shares are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (i.e., generally when the Restricted Shares vest), the Grantee will be obligated to recognize income, for Federal, state and local income
tax purposes, as applicable, in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares, determined as of the date the Restricted Shares are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. The acceptance of the Shares by the Grantee shall
constitute an agreement by the Grantee to report such income in accordance with then applicable law and to cooperate with Company and its subsidiaries in establishing the amount of such income and corresponding deduction to the Company and/or its
subsidiaries for its income tax purposes. 
 The Grantee is responsible for all tax obligations that arise in connection with the Restricted
Shares. The Company may withhold from any amount payable to the Grantee an amount sufficient to cover any Federal, state or local withholding taxes which may become required with respect to the vesting of the Restricted Shares or take any other
action it deems necessary to satisfy any income or other tax withholding requirements as a result of the vesting of the Award. The Company shall have the right to require the payment of any such taxes and require that the Grantee furnish information
deemed necessary by the Company to meet any tax reporting obligation as a condition to issuing and releasing any Shares pursuant to the Award. The Committee, in its discretion, may allow the Grantee, to pay his or her withholding tax obligation in
connection with the vesting of the Restricted Shares, by (x) making a cash payment to the Company, (y) permitting the purchase (subject to the requirements of Bermuda law) of a portion of the Shares that have become vested, or
(z) surrendering Shares owned by the Participant prior to vesting of the Award, in each case having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the withholding taxes. 

The Grantee hereby acknowledges that, with respect to the grant of Restricted Shares pursuant to this Award, he or she may file an election
with the Internal Revenue Service, within 30 days of the Date of Grant, under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed on the fair market value of the Restricted Shares as of the Date of Grant. The Grantee will seek the advice of his own tax
advisors as to the advisability of making such a Section 83(b) election, the potential consequences of making such an election, the requirements for making such an election, and the other tax consequences of his Award under Federal, state, and
any other laws that may be applicable. The Company and its agents have not and are not providing any tax advice to the Grantee.

 8. Securities Laws 

Upon the acquisition of the Restricted Shares, the Grantee will make such written representations, warranties, and agreements as the Committee
may reasonably request in order to comply with securities laws or with this Agreement. The obligation of the Company to issue and deliver the Restricted Shares granted hereunder shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and
such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required. The Grantee hereby agrees not to offer, sell or otherwise attempt to dispose of any Shares issued to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement in any way which would: (x) require the
Company to file any registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any similar filing under state law or the laws of any other county) or to amend or supplement any such filing or (y) violate or cause the Company to
violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other Federal, state or local law, or the laws of any other country.
