|Annual dividend We announced an annual dividend of $0.20 per common share, payable quarterly.
 We declared our first quarterly dividend of $0.05 per common share, paid on December 28,
2012 to shareholders of record on December 20, 2012.  All dividends on our
common shares are eligible dividends for Canadian income tax purposes, unless we indicate otherwise.  See Our capital structure  Dividends.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|Asset writedowns We decommissioned 52 drilling rigs (42 Tier
3 rigs and 10 Tier 2 rigs). We are exiting the Tier 3 contract drilling rig business and will keep 26 drilling rigs for seasonal, stratigraphic and turnkey drilling work. We refer to these rigs as the PSST rigs. Certain components of the
decommissioned rigs will be used in our ongoing operations.  We also recorded an
impairment charge to the goodwill attributable to our Canadian directional drilling operations due to the decrease in natural gas well drilling in Canada and the outlook for natural gas pricing.
 We recognized a non-cash, pre-tax rig decommissioning charge and goodwill impairment charge of
$245 million.

|Capital expenditures and rig fleet upgrades By the end of 2011, we had placed 19 new build Super Series rigs
into service under previously negotiated term contracts, including seven Precision Super Single rigs in Canada and one Precision Super Single rig and 11 Super Triple rigs in the U.S. We also delivered 18 upgraded drilling rigs during
2011.  These rigs were part of our property, plant and equipment capital expenditure
program. Our 2011 program totalled $726 million, including $455 million for expansion capital and $271 million for the maintenance and upgrade of existing assets and infrastructure.                                                                                
|International expansion In the fourth quarter, we contracted three rigs for operations in Saudi Arabia to work
on multi-year contracts. We delivered the three upgraded rigs to Saudi Arabia from our existing U.S. rig fleet in the fourth quarter of 2011 and first quarter of 2012. 
Grey Wolf International opened new offices in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and Bogota, Colombia.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
|Rig decommissioning We announced the decommissioning of 36 drilling rigs, including 19 in Canada and 17 in the
U.S., and the decommissioning of 13 well servicing rigs in Canada. The drilling rigs were all Tier 3 rigs, which were primarily mechanical, lower horsepower units without advanced technology. We are using certain components of the decommissioned
rigs in our ongoing operations.  We recorded a non-cash, pre-tax charge to earnings
of $115 million for the decommissioning.                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|Directional drilling We closed the acquisition of Axis Energy Services Holdings Inc. which provided directional
drilling and measurement while drilling (MWD) services, primarily in Western Canada. 
We also closed the acquisition of Drake Directional Drilling, LLC and Drake MWD Services, LLC, which provided directional drilling and MWD services in Texas,
Louisiana, Oklahoma and Colorado.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|U.S. senior note offering We completed our offering of US$400 million of 6.50% senior unsecured notes due 2021
(the 2021 Notes) in a private placement. We used the net proceeds to fund our capital expenditure program and for general corporate purposes. 
See Our capital structure  Material debtfor more information.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
|Credit facility amendment We entered into an amendment to our secured credit facility which:
¡
 reduced the margins and rates that apply to interest rates and certain fees to be paid under the facility
¡
 extended the maturity by two years to November 17, 2015
¡
 increased the amount of unsecured debt allowed under the facility ¡ increased the consolidated senior
debt to EBITDA (as defined in the secured facility credit agreement, EBITDA) ratio to 3:1 from 2.5:1 ¡ increased the consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio to 4:1 from
3.5:1.  See Our capital structure  Material debtfor more
information.                                                                                    
|Canadian senior note offering We completed our offering of $200 million of 6.50% senior unsecured notes due
2019 (the 2019 Notes) in a private placement to Canadian investors. We used the net proceeds and cash on hand to in effect repay the $175 million 10% senior unsecured note issued to Her Majesty the Queen in Right of the Province of Alberta,
represented by Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo). The total repayment was approximately $204 million and included $175 million in principal, accrued interest and a make-whole premium of approximately $27 million. The make-whole
premium was a charge to earnings. See Our capital structure  Material debtfor more information.
|Tax reassessment We received a notice of reassessment from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for federal tax and
interest relating to a transaction in 2005. We objected to the reassessment and, in 2011, reached agreements with the CRA and Alberta Finance to resolve the results of the prior year audit. We received income tax reassessments from the CRA and
Alberta Finance totalling $37 million in income tax plus interest of $13 million. As part of the settlement agreements, we waived all rights to appeal the reassessments.                                                                                                                                                                     
|Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards We
began preparing our financial statements under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and our future financial statements will be prepared in compliance with IFRS as if we had always followed these standards.
 The transition to IFRS did not materially affect our debt covenants or affect cash flows.
Except for changes to management reports, no significant changes to internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure were required as a result of the transition.

|Capital expenditures and rig fleet upgrades In 2010, we delivered four new build Super Series drilling rigs
under term contracts and nine upgraded drilling rigs. Total capital spending for 2010 was $176 million of which $71 million related to expansion initiatives.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|Senior note offering We completed our offering of US$650 million of 6.625% senior unsecured notes due 2020 (the

Contract Drilling Services

Precision Drilling

At the end of 2012, we operated a versatile fleet of
321 land rigs deployed in Canada, the U.S. and internationally.

| | ¡ |  | Canada we operated the largest fleet of land drilling rigs. We actively marketed 186 drilling rigs located throughout Western Canada, accounting
for approximately 23% of the industrys estimated fleet of 821 drilling rigs.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ¡ |  | United States we operated 127 land drilling rigs, the fourth largest fleet, representing approximately four percent of the countrys
estimated 2,828 total marketed land drilling rigs.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ¡ |  | Internationally we had five land drilling rigs operating in Mexico and three operating in Saudi Arabia.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Drilling contracts

Our contract terms are generally based on the complexity and risk of operations, on-site drilling conditions, type of equipment used and the
anticipated duration of the work to be performed.

Drilling contracts can be for single or multiple wells and can vary in length from a
day or two on shallow single-well applications to multiple-year, multiple-well drilling programs. Term drilling contracts typically have fixed utilization rates for a minimum of six months, and include penalties for early termination, cost
escalations and options for renewing the contract. Short-term contracts that provide drilling rigs on a well-to-well basis are typically subject to termination by the customer on short notice or with little or no penalty. Our new build drilling rigs
generally have term contracts in place before the rig is completed and, in most cases, we have term contracts of two to five years before construction begins.

In 2012, we had term contracts for an average of 128 drilling rigs (55 in Canada, 69 in the U.S. and four internationally).

We market our drilling rigs mainly on a regional basis through sales and marketing personnel. We secure contracts to drill wells either through competitive bidding or as a result of relationships and negotiations
with customers.

Our contracts in Canada, the U.S. and internationally have been carried out almost exclusively on a
daywork basis. Under a daywork contract:

| | ¡ |  | We provide a drilling rig with required personnel, and the customer supervises the drilling of the well.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ¡ |  | We charge the customer a fixed rate per day regardless of the number of days needed to drill the well.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ¡ |  | Contracts usually provide for a reduced day rate (or a lump sum amount) to mobilize the rig to the well location, to rig-up and rig-down on location and to
demobilize the rig.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ¡ |  | Generally we do not bear any of the costs arising from downhole risks (such as time delays for various reasons, including a stuck or broken drill string or
blowouts).
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We also drilled a very small number of wells in Texas and Louisiana near the U.S. Gulf Coast
(approximately 3% of our U.S. rig utilization in 2012) on a turnkey basis. Under a turnkey contract we drill a well to an agreed depth for a fixed price. We assume higher risk under a turnkey contract and therefore generally have the potential for
greater profit or loss.

Seasonality

Drilling and well servicing activity is affected by seasonal weather patterns and ground conditions. In Canada and the northern U.S., during the second quarter each year, wet weather and the spring thaw make the
ground unstable resulting in road restrictions that limit the movement of heavy oilfield equipment and reduces the level of drilling and well servicing activity. In northern Canada, some drilling sites can only be accessed in a very small window in
the winter once the terrain is frozen, which is usually late in the fourth quarter. Our business depends, at least in part, upon the severity and duration of the winter season.

Competition

The land drilling industry is highly competitive and
fragmented with the top 10 providers owning only approximately 41% of the marketed rig fleet in the U.S. and approximately 79% of the industry fleet in Canada.

Technology is increasingly differentiating the market. Our Tier 1 and Tier 2 rigs represent 92% of our fleet, and higher tiered rigs experience higher utilization levels and more stable dayrates.

Drilling fleet

We
categorize our rigs as Tier 1, Tier 2 or PSST rigs based on drilling requirements and mobility. At the end of 2012, we had a fleet of 321 rigs, consisting of 188 Tier 1, 107 Tier 2 and 26 PSST rigs. A list of our contract drilling rigs, including
detailed inventory and layout specifications, is available on our website (www.precisiondrilling.com).

Our rigs can drill from very shallow wells to very deep or extended-reach wells to depths of 9,000
metres (30,000 feet) or more, are rated up to 4,000 horsepower and can drill virtually all types of onshore conventional and unconventional oil and gas wells in North America. In 2012, we had a footprint in virtually all of the large resource plays
in Canada and the U.S., including the Bakken, Cardium, Lower Shaunavon, Montney and Viking formations in Canada and the Bakken, Barnett, Eagle Ford, Granite Wash, Haynesville, Marcellus, Niobrara and West Texas resource plays in the U.S.

Well costs

Several
factors contribute to lower customer well costs, including:

| | ¡ |  | low unplanned mechanical downtime (managed through preventive maintenance programs)
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ¡ |  | detailed inspection processes
| | - |  | -----------------------------

| | ¡ |  | strategically placed spare equipment
| | - |  | ------------------------------------

| | ¡ |  | supply chain management
| | - |  | -----------------------

| | ¡ |  | continuous equipment upgrades
| | - |  | -----------------------------

| | ¡ |  | efficient use of non-productive time (includes moving, rig-up and rig-out time, which is minimized by decreasing the number of move loads per rig, and using
mechanized equipment for safer and quicker rig component connections).

Directional drilling

Directional drilling involves using specialized tubulars and drill string components to establish and maintain the necessary trajectory of the drill
bit to achieve a desired wellbore and bottom of hole location in relation to the surface location. Directional equipment such as mud motors (which are hydraulically driven by the drilling fluid to rotate the drill bit) and MWD systems (which monitor
wellbore trajectory and formation characteristics in real time while drilling is in progress) are used in this process.

At the end of
2012, we had approximately 91 directional drilling job capacity in Canada and the U.S. with operational, technical and maintenance facilities in both countries. Centres in Calgary, Alberta and Houston, Texas manage directional drilling operations in
the field in real-time.

Grey Wolf International

Grey Wolf International (Grey Wolf) is our platform for the international oil and gas drilling market, and it is actively exploring opportunities in various international markets. International oilfield service
operations involve relatively long sales cycles with bidding periods, contract award periods and rig mobilization periods measured in months. Grey Wolf has a regional office in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

In 2011, Grey Wolf entered multi-year daywork drilling contracts for three land drilling rigs to operate in Saudi Arabia. All three rigs commenced
operations in 2012.

Grey Wolf continues to operate two drilling rigs under contracts with a major service provider in Mexico. In 2012,
Grey Wolf also contracted five upgraded drilling rigs to work on multi-year contracts for another major service provider in Mexico. Three of the five rigs began operating in 2012 and two are expected to begin operating in 2013.

In late 2012, Grey Wolf also contracted two new build Super Series drilling rigs to work on multi-year contracts in Kuwait beginning in 2014 and
two upgraded rigs to work on multi-year contracts in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

Industries also designs and builds a significant portion of the components for the Precision Super Single drilling rigs, and develops products that can be used on other new rigs or to improve the versatility of many of our existing rigs.

Columbia Oilfield Supply and PD Supply

Columbia Oilfield Supply in Canada and PD Supply in the U.S. are general supply warehouses that procure, package and distribute large volumes of consumable oilfield supplies. The two supply warehouses achieve
economies of scale through bulk purchasing and standardized product selection and then coordinate distribution to Precision rig sites. Columbia Oilfield Supply and PD Supply play a key role in supply chain management as approximately 96% of their
oilfield supply activities support Precision operations in North America.

This reduces the administrative workload for operations staff
in the field, enhancing our competitiveness.

Completion and Production Services

Precision Well Servicing

Precision Well Servicing offers a versatile fleet of service rigs for well completion, workover, abandonment, maintenance and re-entry preparation services and snubbing units and coil tubing units for pressure
control services. The fleet is strategically positioned throughout Western Canada and the northern and northeastern U.S.

Well
service activities

Well servicing and pressure control jobs are generally short duration, preferably during daylight hours, so
it is critical for a service rig to be close to customer demand and to move quickly from one site to another. Well servicing requires a unique skill set, and crews must deal with the potential dangers and safety concerns of working with pressurized
wellbores. Completion, workover or pressure control services can take a few days to several weeks to complete depending on the depth of the well and the complexity of the completion or workover.

At the end of 2012, Precision Well Servicing had a Canadian industry market share of approximately 19% with a fleet of 185 service rigs, the
largest in Western Canada, compared to a Canadian industry fleet average of approximately 1,000 service rigs. We also operated five well service rigs in the U.S. at the end of 2012.

Service rates

Precision Well Servicing typically charges its customers
an hourly rate for completion, workover and pressure control services based on factors like market demand in the region, the type of rig deployed and the equipment required.

Service rig activities

Well servicing operations have two distinct functions  completions and workovers.

Completions Customers often contract a smaller, specialized service rig to take over from a larger, more expensive drilling rig to prepare a
newly drilled well for initial production. The service rig and crew work jointly with other services to open and stimulate the producing zones for initial production.

The demand for well completion services is related to the level of drilling activity in a region, and the demand for completion services is generally more volatile than for workover services.

Workovers Workover services are generally provided according to customer preventive maintenance schedules or on a call-out basis when a well
needs major repairs or modifications. Workover services generally involve remedial work like repairing or replacing equipment in the well, enhancing production, re-completing a new producing zone, recovering lost equipment or abandoning the well.

Producing oil and gas wells generally require some type of workover or maintenance during their life cycle. The demand for production
or workover services is based on the total number of existing active wells and their age and producing characteristics.

Of our total
oil and gas well service rig activity in Canada in 2012:

| | ¡ |  | workovers and abandonments accounted for approximately 91%, compared to approximately 83% in 2011
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ¡ |  | new well completions accounted for approximately 9%, compared to approximately 17% in 2011.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pressure control services

Snubbing Snubbing is primarily used to enhance production of natural gas wells. Snubbing units perform certain workover and completion activities without neutralizing or killing the well.
Traditional well servicing operations require pressure in a well to be killed using fluids which may impair production in order to safely perform the services.

At the end of 2012, we marketed 11 portable hydraulic rig-assist snubbing units and five self-contained snubbing units in Western Canada, and one rig-assist and two self-contained snubbing units in the U.S.
Snubbing units are equipped with specialized snubbing devices, which allow tubing to be installed in or removed from a well, or snubbed, while the well is under pressure and production has been suspended.

Rig-assist units work with a service rig to complete the snubbing activity for a well. Self-contained units do not require a service rig on site
and are capable of snubbing and many other services traditionally completed by a service rig.

Coil tubing services Coil tubing
units use a continuous (non-jointed) reel of tubing to perform completion, workover and stimulation services. Coil tubing provides certain advantages over conventional service rigs like working on a well without having to kill it and servicing
highly deviated and horizontal wells.



|   |  |                                                             |  | 
|-- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------- |  |

---

Coil tubing units are highly mobile, rig-up and rig-down in a short time, increase operating
efficiency and have a relatively small environmental footprint. These units also operate more efficiently because continuous tubing eliminates jointed tubing connections.

At the end of 2012, Precision operated three coil tubing units in Western Canada and two coil tubing units in the U.S.

Precision Rentals

Precision Rentals provides approximately 3,800 pieces
of oilfield rental equipment from five operating centres and 11 stocking points throughout Western Canada, supported by a technical service centre in central Alberta. Most exploration and production companies do not own the specialty equipment used
in oil and natural gas operations, and rely on suppliers like Precision Rentals for access to large inventories of drilling, completion and production equipment.

Precision Rentals markets its inventory in distinct product categories:

| | ¡ |  | surface equipment (including environmental invert drilling mud storage, hydraulic fracturing fluid storage, production tanks and other fluid handling
equipment)
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ¡ |  | wellsite accommodations (fully equipped units that provide on-site office and lodging for field personnel)
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ¡ |  | small-flow wastewater treatment facilities
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------

| | ¡ |  | power generation equipment
| | - |  | --------------------------

| | ¡ |  | solids control equipment.
| | - |  | -------------------------

LRG Catering

LRG
Catering provides food and accommodation to personnel working at the wellsite, typically in remote locations in Western Canada. LRG Catering has 50 drill camps and three base camps in Western Canada. Precision also had four drill camps and one base
camp in the U.S. Each mobile camp includes five or six building units that typically accommodate 20 to 25 members of a rig crew and other personnel and, if required, individual dormitory units that accommodate up to 45 additional personnel.

LRG Catering has also configured several of its camps and dormitories to provide housing and meals for up to 500-man base camps on
separate major projects in Western Canada. As the oil and gas industry searches for new reserves in more remote locations, crews need to stay near the worksite, often in camps, throughout the duration of a drilling program. LRG Catering serves
Precision and other companies in the upstream oil and gas sector and, from time to time, other industries operating in remote locations.

Terra Water Systems

Terra Water Systems provides customers with portable wastewater handling, treatment and disposal facilities, potable water production plants and
potable water delivery systems for remote sites in Western Canada.

Terra Water Systems has eight large-flow wastewater treatment
plants, six potable water production plants and 11 pump houses that are used in base camp and other large remote work site markets. These facilities provide an environmentally sound solution to treating wastewater, eliminating the traditional
tank-and-haul process and concerns about the timing, hauling and disposal of effluent. Technical staff visits each facility regularly to conduct sampling and independent laboratory effluent testing as part of its system management. Its wastewater
treatment plants are designed to be easy to operate, provide quality treatment of effluent, eliminate odors and align with existing environmental, health and safety regulations for surface release of treated wastewater.

Health, safety and the environment

We have a long-standing commitment to health, safety and the environment in all aspects of our operations. Our Target Zerovision promotes continuous safety improvement through awareness and risk reduction,
and fosters a culture that never accepts an injury to a Precision employee. We recognize risks at job sites and reduce them so we achieve our goal of zero injuries. In 2012, Precision achieved its best ever safety record measured by the industry
standard of total recordable injury frequency.

We recognize the importance of climate change and our impact on the environment. Our rigs are designed for high
efficiency moving, which reduces the number of trucks needed to relocate a rig to a new customer site. They are also designed and constructed with a reduced footprint, so once on location, our rigs require less surface land area to
operate. The design of our rig pad is beneficial for high well density drilling programs like for heavy oil because it needs less surface area to operate and eliminates the need for trucks to move between well centres. We also use spill containment
devices under our equipment to minimize potential spills around the drill site and limit environmental exposure.

We continue to develop
solutions for a sustainable society, and assess alternative methods of fuel types for power and heat generation, noise abatement, carbon emissions and systems for recovering waste energy.

Our people

We had 6,947 employees at the end of 2012, including 1,501 in
salaried and 5,446 in hourly positions. Seasonality and economic conditions affect our drilling activity and have a more dramatic impact on hourly than salaried employees. The market for experienced personnel in the oilfield services industry is
extremely competitive because of the cyclical nature of the work, uncertainty of continuing employment and generally higher rates of employment over the past decade.

We rely on experienced, well trained personnel. We invest in systems and processes to support employee training, development, leadership and retention. Our talent management system helps us actively develop,
nurture and retain people in key positions as well as top performers and potential future leaders. Programs include skill development around leadership, communication and corporate values, and our compensation program focuses on retaining
experienced field personnel during all market cycles, focused recruitment initiatives and a performance management system that links compensation to the achievement of specific corporate and individual goals.

Performance excellence is measured through our safety record and reputation, key assets that help us attract and retain employees as manpower
shortages are often experienced in the industry in peak operating periods. Our priority is retaining experienced employees, particularly in driller, rig manager and field superintendent positions. Our retention rate for these key positions was
approximately 92% in Canada and the U.S. in 2012.

Dividends

In December 2012, the board declared an annual dividend of $0.20 per common share, payable quarterly.

The board will review the dividend payment from time to time based on our financial circumstances, market conditions and other factors they
consider relevant. Our ability to pay dividends may be restricted if our circumstances change.

Our secured debt facility allows the
payment of dividends so long as no default or event of default has occurred. We were in compliance with all debt covenants at the end of 2012.

All dividends on our common shares are eligible dividends for Canadian income tax purposes, unless we indicate otherwise.

The following table shows the dividends declared on our common shares in the last three years:

Shareholder rights plan

When unitholders approved the plan of arrangement for us to convert to a corporate structure, they also approved the adoption of a shareholder
rights plan. A shareholder rights plan agreement was established between Precision and Computershare Trust Company of Canada on June 1, 2010.

The plan is designed to protect the rights of all shareholders and maximize value if there is ever a takeover bid for Precision.

We issued one right for each common share outstanding at the close of business on June 1, 2010, and one right for each additional common share issued after that date, subject to the terms and conditions of the
plan.

We will be presenting the shareholder rights plan to shareholders at the 2013 annual and special meeting of shareholders to vote
on confirming the continuation and revisions to the plan. See our 2013 management information circular on our website (www.precisiondrilling.com) and filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

Warrants

On April 22, 2009, we issued 15,000,000 purchase warrants under
a private placement. Each warrant can be exercised for one common share at a price of $3.22 per common share for five years from the date of issue. No warrants had been exercised as at December 31, 2012.

Preferred shares

We can
issue preferred shares in one or more series. The board must pass a resolution determining the number of shares in each series, and the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions for each series, before the shares can be issued.
This includes the rate or amount of dividends, when and where dividends are paid, the dates dividends accrue from any rights or obligations for us to buy or redeem the shares and the price, terms and condition, and any conversion rights.

The number of preferred shares that may be authorized for issue at any time cannot exceed more than half of the number of issued and outstanding
common shares.

Material debt

As at December 31, 2012, we had:

Secured facility

We
entered into the secured facility with a syndicate of lenders and RBC as administrative agent in 2010. The secured facility is currently a US$850 million extendible revolving term credit facility which will be used for general corporate purposes,
including for acquisitions, and is secured by liens on substantially all of our present and future assets and the present and future assets of our material U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries (including subsidiaries we have designated material,
collectively the material subsidiaries). The secured facility includes representations and warranties, covenants and events of default that are customary for transactions of this nature, including financial ratio covenants which are tested
quarterly.

Operating facilities

In 2012, our $25 million secured operating facility was increased to $40 million and we entered into a new US$25 million secured facility for letters of credit. We also continue to have a US$15 million secured
operating facility. At December 31, 2012, we had $40 million and US$15 million available under secured operating facilities, and no amounts had been drawn. Availability of the $40 million facility was reduced by outstanding letters of credit of
$19 million. No letters of credit were outstanding at December 31, 2012 under the US$25 million secured facility for letters of credit. The facilities are primarily secured by charges on substantially all of our present and future property and
of our material subsidiaries. Advances under the $40 million facility are available at a margin over the banks prime Canadian lending rate, United States base rate, LIBOR or Bankers Acceptance rate, or in combination and under the US$15
million facility at the banks prime lending rate. Issuance fees at agreed rates are payable on the amounts of any letters of credit outstanding under the $40 million facility and the US$25 million facility.

Credit ratings

Credit ratings affect our financing costs, liquidity and operations over the long term and are intended as an independent measure of the credit
quality of long-term debt. Credit ratings affect our ability to obtain short and long-term financing and the cost of this financing, and our ability to engage in certain business activities cost-effectively.

If a rating agency reduces its current rating on our debt, or downgrades us, or we experience a negative change in our ratings outlook, it could
have an adverse effect on our financing costs and access to liquidity and capital.

Moodys and S&P:

RISKS IN OUR BUSINESS

Investing in Precision shares has risk. Take some time to read about the risks described below and other important information in this AIF or our other disclosure documents before making an investment decision. You
may also want to receive advice from an expert.

Our operations depend on the price of oil and natural gas

We sell our services to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies. Macroeconomic and geopolitical factors associated with oil and
natural gas supply and demand are the primary factors driving pricing and profitability in the oilfield services industry. Generally, we experience high demand for our services when commodity prices are relatively high and the opposite is true when
commodity prices are low. The volatility of crude oil and natural gas prices accounts for much of the cyclical nature of the energy services business.

The markets for oil and natural gas are separate and distinct. Oil is a global commodity with a vast distribution network, although the differential between benchmarks such as West Texas Intermediate and European
Brent crude oil can fluctuate. As in all markets, when supply, demand and other market factors change, so can the spreads between benchmarks. The most economical way to transport natural gas is in its gaseous state by pipeline, and the natural gas
market depends on pipeline infrastructure and regional supply and demand. However, recent developments in the transportation of liquefied natural gas in ocean going tanker ships have introduced an element of globalization to the natural gas market.

Worldwide military, political and economic events, including, for example, sovereign debt concerns in Europe, lower expectations for
global economic growth or initiatives by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other major petroleum exporting countries can affect the demand for, and the supply of, oil and natural gas. Weather conditions, governmental
regulation (in Canada and elsewhere), levels of consumer demand, the availability of pipeline capacity, U.S. and Canadian natural gas storage levels and other factors beyond our control can also affect the supply of and demand for oil and natural
gas and lead to future price volatility. A prolonged reduction in oil and natural gas prices would likely depress the level of exploration and production activity. This would likely result in a corresponding decline in the demand for our services
and could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, cash flows and profitability.

Lower oil and natural gas prices could also
cause our customers to terminate, renegotiate or fail to honour our drilling contracts, which could affect the anticipated revenues that support our capital expenditure program and deliveries of new build rigs. In addition, lower oil and natural gas
prices, demand in oilfield services and rig utilization could affect the fair market value of our rig fleet, which in turn could trigger a write down for accounting purposes. There is no assurance that demands for our services or conditions in the
oil and natural gas and oilfield services sector will not decline in the future.

We have accounts receivable with customers in the oil
and natural gas industry and their revenues may be affected by fluctuations in commodity prices. Our ability to collect receivables may be adversely affected by any prolonged weakness in oil and natural gas prices.

Intense price competition and the cyclical nature of the contract drilling industry could have an adverse effect on revenue and profitability

The contract drilling business is highly competitive with numerous industry participants. We compete for drilling contracts that are
usually awarded based on competitive bids. We believe pricing and rig availability are the primary factors potential customers consider when selecting a drilling contractor. We believe other factors are also important, like the drilling capabilities
and condition of drilling rigs, the quality of service and experience of rig crews, the safety record of the contractor and the particular drilling rig, the offering of ancillary services, the ability to provide drilling equipment that is adaptable
to and having personnel familiar with new technologies and drilling techniques, and rig mobility and efficiency.

Historically contract
drilling has been cyclical with periods of low demand, excess rig supply, and low dayrates, followed by periods of high demand, short rig supply and increasing dayrates. Periods of excess drilling rig supply intensify the competition and often
result in rigs being idle. There are numerous contract drilling companies in each market we compete in, and an oversupply of drilling rigs can cause greater price competition. Contract drilling companies compete primarily on a regional basis, and
the intensity of competition can vary significantly from region to region at any particular time. If



|   |  |                                                             |  | 
|-- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------- |  | 
|24 |  | Precision Drilling Corporation 2012 Annual Information Form |  | 



---

demand for drilling services is better in a region where we operate, our competitors might respond by moving in suitable drilling rigs from other regions, reactivating previously stacked rigs or
purchasing new drilling rigs. An influx of drilling rigs into a market from any source could rapidly intensify competition and make any improvement in the demand for our drilling rigs short-lived, which could in turn have a material adverse effect
on our revenues, cash flows and earnings.

Our business results and the strength of our financial position are affected by our ability
to strategically manage our capital expenditure program in a manner consistent with industry cycles and fluctuations in the demand for contract drilling services. If we do not effectively manage our capital expenditures or respond to market signals
relating to the supply or demand for contract drilling and oilfield services, it could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, operations and financial condition.

Risks and uncertainties associated with our international operations can negatively affect our business

We conduct some of our business outside of Canada and the U.S., like Mexico and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Our growth plans contemplate establishing operations in other foreign countries, including countries
where the political and economic systems may be less stable than in Canada or the U.S.

Our international operations are subject to
risks normally associated with conducting business in foreign countries, including among others:

| | ¡ |  | an uncertain political and economic environment
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------

| | ¡ |  | the loss of revenue, property and equipment as a result of expropriation, confiscation, nationalization, contract deprivation and force majeure
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ¡ |  | war, terrorist acts or threats, civil insurrection and geopolitical and other political risks
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ¡ |  | fluctuations in foreign currency and exchange controls
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------

| | ¡ |  | increases in duties, taxes and governmental royalties
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------

| | ¡ |  | renegotiation of contracts with governmental entities
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------

| | ¡ |  | changes in laws and policies governing operations of foreign-based companies.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

If there is a dispute with our international operations, we may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts or may not be able to
subject foreign persons to the jurisdiction of a court in Canada or the U.S.

Government-owned petroleum companies located in some of
the countries where we operate now or in the future may have policies, or may be subject to governmental policies, that give preference to the purchase of goods and services from companies that are majority-owned by local nationals. We may therefore
rely on joint ventures, license arrangements and other business combinations with local nationals in these countries, which may expose us to certain counterparty risks, including the failure of local nationals to meet contractual obligations or
comply with local or international laws that apply to us.

In the international markets where we operate, we are subject to various laws
and regulations that govern the operation and taxation of our businesses and the import and export of our equipment from country to country. We may be uncertain about how these laws and regulations are imposed, applied or interpreted, and they could
be subject to change. Since we derive a portion of our revenues from subsidiaries outside of Canada, the subsidiaries paying dividends or making other cash payments or advances may be restricted from transferring funds in or out of the respective
countries, or face exchange controls or taxes on any payments or advances. We have organized our foreign operations partly based on certain assumptions about various tax laws (including capital gains and withholding taxes), foreign currency exchange
and capital repatriation laws and other relevant laws of a variety of foreign jurisdictions. We believe these assumptions are reasonable, however, there is no assurance that foreign taxing or other authorities will reach the same conclusion. If
these foreign jurisdictions change or modify the laws, we could suffer adverse tax and financial consequences.

While we have developed
policies and procedures designed to achieve compliance with applicable international laws, we could be exposed to potential claims, economic sanctions or other restrictions for alleged or actual violations of international laws related to our
international operations, including anti-corruption legislation, trade laws and trade sanctions. The Canadian government, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control
and other agencies and authorities have a broad range of civil and criminal penalties they



| |  |                                                             |  |   
| |  | ----------------------------------------------------------- |  | --

---

may seek to impose against corporations and individuals for such violations, including injunctive relief, disgorgement, fines, penalties and modifications to business practices and compliance
programs, among other things. While we cannot accurately predict the impact of any of these factors, if any of those risks materialize, it could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows.

Any difficulty in retaining, replacing or adding personnel could adversely affect our business

We may not be able to find enough skilled labor to meet our needs, and this could limit growth. We may also have difficulty finding enough skilled
and unskilled labor in the future if demand for our services increases. Shortages of qualified personnel have occurred in the past during periods of high demand. The demand for qualified rig personnel generally increases with stronger demand for
land drilling services and as new and refurbished rigs are brought into service. Increased demand typically leads to higher wages that may or may not be reflected in any increases in service rates.

Other factors can also affect our ability to find enough workers to meet our needs. Our work requires skilled workers who can perform physically
demanding work. Volatility in oil and natural gas activity and the demanding nature of the work, however, may prompt workers to pursue other kinds of jobs that offer a more desirable work environment and wages competitive to ours. Our success
depends on our ability to continue to employ and retain skilled technical personnel and qualified rig personnel. If we are unable to, it could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Our ability to provide reliable services depends on the availability of well-trained, experienced crews to operate our field equipment. We must
also balance our need to maintain a skilled workforce with cost structures that fluctuate with activity levels. We retain the most experienced employees during periods of low utilization by having them fill lower level positions on field crews. Many
of our businesses experience manpower shortages in peak operating periods, and we may experience more severe shortages as the industry adds more rigs, oilfield service companies expand and new companies enter the business.

New capital expenditures in the contract drilling industry expose us to the risk of oversupply of equipment

Periods of high demand often lead to higher capital expenditures on drilling rigs and other oilfield services equipment. The number of drilling rigs
competing for work in markets where we operate has increased as the industry adds new and upgraded rigs. We expect more new or newer rigs to enter markets where we operate. The industry supply of drilling rigs may exceed actual demand because of the
relatively long life span of oilfield services equipment and the waiting period between when a decision is made to upgrade or build new equipment and when the equipment is placed into service. Excess supply resulting from industry-wide capital
expenditures could lead to lower demand for term drilling contracts and our equipment and services. The additional supply of drilling rigs has intensified price competition in the past and could continue to do so and possibly lead to lower rates in
the oilfield services industry generally and lower utilization of existing rigs. If any of these factors materializes, it would have an adverse effect on our revenues, cash flows, earnings and asset valuation.

Laws, regulations and guidelines

Our operations are affected by numerous laws, regulations and guidelines relating to the protection of the environment and health and safety, including those governing the management, transportation and disposal of
hazardous substances and other waste materials. These include laws, regulations and guidelines relating to spills, releases, emissions and discharges of hazardous substances or other waste materials into the environment, requiring removal or
remediation of pollutants or contaminants, and imposing civil and criminal penalties for violations. Some of these apply to our operations and authorize the recovery of natural resource damages by the government, injunctive relief, and the
imposition of stop, control, remediation and abandonment orders. In addition, our land drilling operations may be conducted in or near ecologically sensitive areas, such as wetlands, which are subject to special protective measures and may expose us
to additional operating costs and liabilities for noncompliance with certain laws. Some environmental laws and regulations may impose strict and, in certain cases joint and several, liability. This means that in some situations we could be exposed
to liability as a result of conduct that was lawful at the time it occurred, or conditions caused by prior operators or other third parties, including any liability related to offsite treatment or disposal facility. The costs arising from compliance
with these laws, regulations and guidelines may be material.

---

Our business is affected by governmental regulations and policies

Some of our activities are affected by factors that are beyond our control or influence. Our operations are directly affected by fluctuations in
exploration, development and production activity by our customers that are dictated by numerous factors, including economic conditions, global energy prices and government policies. If there are additional government regulations or incentives, or
any of them are eliminated or curtailed, it could have a significant impact on the oil and natural gas business in Canada, the U.S. and other markets where we operate or choose to operate in the future. These factors could lead to lower demand for
our services, resulting in a material adverse effect on our revenues, cash flows and earnings.

Business acquisitions entail numerous
risks and may disrupt our business or distract management from operating our business

We consider and evaluate acquisitions of, or
significant investments in, complementary businesses and assets as part of our business strategy. Any acquisition could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition and/or the price of our securities. Acquisitions
involve numerous risks, including unanticipated costs and liabilities, difficulty of integrating the operations and assets of the acquired business, the ability to properly access and maintain an effective internal control environment over an
acquired company to comply with public reporting requirements, potential loss of key employees and customers of the acquired companies, and an increase in our expenses and working capital requirements.

We may incur substantial debt to finance future acquisitions and also may issue equity securities or convertible securities for acquisitions. Debt
service requirements could be a burden on our results of operations and financial condition. We will also be required to meet certain conditions if we want to borrow money to fund future acquisitions. Acquisitions could also divert the attention of
management and other employees from our day-to-day operations and the development of new business opportunities. Even if we are successful in integrating future acquisitions into our operations, we may not derive benefits like operational or
administrative synergies that we expect from acquisitions, which may result in us committing capital resources and not receiving the expected returns. In addition, we may not be able to continue to identify attractive acquisition opportunities or
successfully acquire identified targets.

Depending on third-party suppliers has risks

We source certain key rig components, raw materials, equipment and component parts from a variety of suppliers in Canada, the U.S. and overseas. We
also outsource some or all construction services for drilling and service rigs, including new build rigs as part of our capital expenditure program (see Three-year history). We maintain relationships with key suppliers and contractors and an
inventory of key components, materials, equipment and parts. We also place advance orders for components that have long lead times. We may, however, experience cost increases, delays in delivery due to the strong activity or financial hardship of
suppliers or contractors, or other unforeseen circumstances relating to third parties. If our current or alternate suppliers are unable to deliver the necessary components, materials, equipment, parts and services we require for our businesses,
including the construction of new build drilling rigs, it can delay service to our customers and have a material adverse effect on our revenues, cash flows and earnings.

Poor safety performance could lead to lower demand for our services

Standards
for accident prevention in the oil and gas industry are governed by service company safety policies and procedures, accepted industry safety practices, customer-specific safety requirements and health and safety legislation. Safety is a key factor
that customers consider when selecting an oilfield service company. A decline in our safety performance could result in lower demand for services, and this could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, cash flows and earnings.

We are subject to various environmental, health and safety laws, rules, legislation and guidelines which can impose material liability, increase
our costs or lead to lower demand for our services.



| |  |                                                             |  |

Energy and the environment

The issue of energy and the environment has created intense public debate in Canada and around the world in recent years, and it is likely to
continue for the foreseeable future and could potentially have a significant impact on all aspects of the economy. The trend in environmental regulation has been to impose more restrictions and limitations on activities that may impact the
environment. Any regulatory changes that impose additional environmental restrictions or requirements on us, or our customers, could increase our operating costs and potentially lead to lower demand for our services and have an adverse effect on us.
For example, there is growing concern about the apparent connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. Laws, regulations or treaties concerning climate change or greenhouse gas emissions can have an adverse impact on the demand
for oil and natural gas, which could have a material adverse effect on us. Governments in Canada and the U.S. are also reviewing more stringent regulation or restriction of hydraulic fracturing, a technology used by some of our customers that
involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under pressure into rock formations to stimulate oil and natural gas production. This could have a negative impact on the exploration of unconventional energy resources, which are only commercially
viable with the use of hydraulic fracturing. Laws relating to hydraulic fracturing are in various stages of development at levels of governments in markets where we operate. There is no assurance of the outcome of these developments, their effect on
the regulatory landscape and the contract drilling industry, or that additional governmental organizations will not seek to pass legislation on hydraulic fracturing in the future.

We maintain liability insurance, including insurance for certain environmental claims, but coverage is limited and some of our policies exclude
coverage for damages resulting from environmental contamination. We cannot assure that insurance will continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, that the possible types of liabilities that may be incurred by us will be covered
by the insurance, or that the dollar amount of the liabilities will not exceed our policy limits. Even a partially uninsured claim, if successful and of sufficient magnitude, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and prospects.

New technology could reduce demand for certain rigs or put us at a competitive disadvantage

Complex drilling programs for the exploration and development of conventional and unconventional oil and natural gas reserves demand
high performance drilling rigs. The ability of drilling rig service providers to meet this demand depends on continuous improvement of existing rig technology like drive systems, control systems, automation, mud systems and top drives to improve
drilling efficiency. Our ability to deliver equipment and services that meet customer demand is critical to our continued success. We cannot assure that our rig technology will continue to meet demands, especially as rigs age and technology
advances, or that our competitors will not develop technological improvements that are more advantageous, timely or cost effective than our own advancements.

Our operations face risks of interruption and casualty losses

Our operations
face many hazards inherent in the drilling and well servicing industries, including blowouts, cratering, explosions, fires, loss of well control, loss of hole, reservoir damage, loss of directional control, damaged or lost equipment and damage or
loss from inclement weather or natural disasters. Any of these hazards could result in personal injury or death, damage to or destruction of equipment and facilities, suspension of operations, environmental damage, damage to the property of others
and damage to producing or potentially productive oil and natural gas formations that we drill through.

Generally, drilling and service
rig contracts separate the responsibilities of a drilling or service rig company and the customer, and we try to obtain indemnification from our customers by contract for some of these risks even though we also have insurance coverage to protect us.
We cannot assure, however, that any insurance or indemnification agreements will adequately protect us against liability from all of the consequences described above. If there is an event that is not fully insured or indemnified against, or a
customer or insurer does not meet its indemnification or insurance obligations, it could result in substantial losses. In addition, we may not be able to get insurance to cover any or all of these risks, or the coverage may not be adequate.
Insurance premiums or other costs may rise significantly in the future, and make the insurance prohibitively expensive or uneconomic. Significant events like terrorist attacks in the U.S., severe hurricane damage and well blowout damage in the U.S.
Gulf Coast region have resulted in significantly higher insurance costs, deductibles and coverage restrictions. When we renew our insurance, we may decide to self-insure at higher levels, and assume increased risk, in order to reduce costs
associated with higher insurance premiums.

Business in our industry is seasonal and highly variable

Seasonal weather patterns in Canada and the northern part of the U.S. affect activity in the oilfield services industry. During the spring months,
wet weather and the spring thaw make the ground unstable so municipalities and counties and provincial and state transportation departments enforce road bans that restrict the movement of rigs and other heavy equipment. This reduces activity and
highlights the importance of the location of our equipment prior to the imposition of the road bans. The timing and length of road bans depend on weather conditions leading to the spring thaw and during the thawing period. Additionally, certain oil
and natural gas producing areas are located in parts of Western Canada that are only accessible during the winter months because the ground surrounding or containing the drilling sites in these areas consists of terrain known as muskeg. The rigs and
other necessary equipment cannot cross the terrain to reach the drilling site until the muskeg freezes. Moreover, once the rigs and other equipment have been moved to a drilling site, they may become stranded or are unable to be relocated to another
site if the muskeg thaws unexpectedly. Our business results depend partly on how long and severe the winter season lasts.

There are
risks associated with increased capital expenditures

The timing and amount of capital expenditures we incur will directly affect the
amount of cash available to us. The cost of equipment generally escalates as a result of high input costs during periods of high demand for our drilling rigs and oilfield services equipment and other factors. There is no assurance that we will be
able to recover higher capital costs through rate increases to our customers.

Dividends may be variable

The actual cash flow available for the payment of dividends to shareholders is a function of numerous factors including but not limited to our
financial performance, debt covenants and obligations, working capital requirements, future upgrade capital expenditures and future expansion capital expenditure requirements for the purchase of property, plant and equipment, tax obligations, the
impact of interest rates and/or foreign exchange rates, the growth of the general economy, the price of crude oil and natural gas, weather, and number of common shares outstanding.

Dividends may be increased, reduced or eliminated entirely depending on our operations and the performance of our assets. We require sufficient
cash flows to service and repay our debt. The market value of our common shares may deteriorate if we are unable to meet dividend expectations in the future, and that deterioration may be material. See Three-year history, Our corporate structure
 Dividendsand Risks in our business.

We require sufficient cash flows to service and repay our debt

We will need sufficient cash flows in the future to service and repay our debt. Our ability to generate cash in the future is
affected to some extent by general economic, financial, competitive and other factors that may be beyond our control. If we need to borrow funds in the future to service our debt, our ability will depend on covenants in the secured facility, 2020
Note Indenture, 2019 Note Indenture, 2021 Note Indenture and other debt agreements we have in the future. We may not be able to access sufficient amounts under the secured facility or from the capital markets in the future to pay our obligations as
they mature or to fund other liquidity requirements. If we are not able to borrow a sufficient amount, or generate enough cash flow from operations to service and repay our debt, we will need to refinance our debt or we will be in default, and we
could be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures or dispose of material assets. We may not be able to refinance or arrange alternative measures on favorable terms or at all. If we are unable to service, repay and/or refinance
our debt, it could have a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

A substantial portion of our operations
is carried out through subsidiaries, and some of them are not guarantors of our debt. The assets and operations of the non-guarantor subsidiaries are not material, and these subsidiaries do not have any obligation to pay amounts due on the debt or
to make funds available for that purpose.



| |  |                                                             |  |   
| |  | ----------------------------------------------------------- |  | --
| |  | Precision Drilling Corporation 2012 Annual Information Form |  | 29



---

Repaying the debt depends on our guarantor subsidiaries generating cash flow and making it available
to us by dividend, debt repayment or otherwise. Our guarantor subsidiaries may not be able to, or may not be permitted to, make distributions to allow us to make payments on our debt. Each guarantor subsidiary is a distinct legal entity and, under
certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions may limit our ability to obtain cash from the subsidiaries. While the agreements governing certain existing debt limit the ability of our subsidiaries to incur consensual restrictions on
their ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany payments to us, these limitations are subject to qualifications and exceptions.

If we do not receive dividends from our guarantor subsidiaries, we may be unable to make the required principal and interest payments, which could
have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

The secured facility, 2020 Note Indenture, 2019
Note Indenture and 2021 Note Indenture contain restrictive covenants

The secured facility, 2020 Note Indenture, 2019 Note Indenture
and 2021 Note Indenture contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict us and some of our subsidiaries from conducting certain activities. In addition, we must satisfy and maintain certain financial ratio tests under the secured
facility (see Our capital structure  Material debtfor more information). Events beyond our control could affect our ability to meet these tests. If we breach of any of the covenants, it could result in a default under the secured
facility or any of the note indentures.

If there is a default, the applicable lenders or note holders could decide to declare all
amounts outstanding under the secured facility, 2020 Note Indenture, 2019 Note Indenture or 2021 Note Indenture, as the case may be, to be due and payable immediately, and terminate any commitments to extend further credit.

Risks associated with turnkey drilling operations could adversely affect our business

We earn some of our revenue from turnkey drilling contracts. We expect that turnkey drilling will continue to be part of our service offering,
however, they pose substantially more risk than wells drilled on a daywork basis. Under a typical turnkey drilling contract, we agree to drill a well for a customer to a specified depth and under specified conditions for a fixed price. We typically
provide technical expertise and engineering services, as well as most of the equipment required for the drilling of turnkey wells, and use subcontractors for related services. We typically do not receive progress payments and are entitled to payment
by the customer only after we have met the full terms of the drilling contract. We sometimes encounter difficulties on wells and incur unanticipated costs, and not all of the costs are covered by insurance. As a result, under turnkey contracts we
assume most of the risks associated with drilling operations that are generally assumed by customers under a daywork contract. Operating cost overruns or operational difficulties on turnkey jobs could have a material adverse effect on our financial
position and results of operations.

A successful challenge by the tax authorities of expense deductions could negatively affect the
value of our common shares

There is no assurance that the taxation authorities will agree with the classification of expenses we or
our subsidiaries have claimed or not challenge the amount of interest expense deducted. If the taxation authorities are successful with either challenge, it could have an adverse effect on our return to shareholders.

We have retained liabilities from prior reorganizations

We have retained all liabilities of our predecessor companies, including liabilities relating to corporate and income tax matters.

Losing key management could reduce our competitiveness and prospects for future success

Our future success and growth depends partly on the expertise and experience of our key management. There is no assurance that we will be able to retain key management. Losing these individuals could have a
material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

Our assessment of goodwill and/or capital assets for impairment may result in a non-cash charge
against our consolidated net income

We are required to assess our goodwill balance for impairment at least annually, and our capital
assets balance for impairment when certain internal and external factors indicate the need for further analysis.

We calculate
impairment based on managements estimates and assumptions. We may consider several factors including any declines in our share price and market capitalization, lower future cash flow and earnings estimates, significantly reduced or depressed
markets in the our industry and general economic conditions, among other things.

Any impairment write down to goodwill or capital
assets would result in a non-cash charge against net earnings, and it could be material.

Our operations are subject to foreign
exchange risk, which could cause results to fluctuate significantly from period to period

Our U.S. and international operations have
revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar, mostly in US dollars and currencies which are pegged to the US dollar. Our income statement, balance sheet and statement of cash flow are therefore
affected by changes in currency exchange rates.



| | ¡ |  | Translation into Canadian dollars
| | - |  | ---------------------------------

When preparing our consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of each foreign operation that does not have a Canadian dollar functional currency are translated into Canadian dollars. Assets and
liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates for the month of the transaction. Gains or losses from these translation adjustments are recognized
initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to net earnings on disposal or partial disposal of the foreign operation. Changes in currency exchange rates could materially increase or decrease our foreign currency-denominated
net assets on consolidation, which would increase or decrease shareholders equity. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the translation of the revenue and expenses of our U.S. and international operations and will result in lower or
higher net earnings than would have occurred had the exchange rate not changed. If the Canadian dollar strengthens against the US dollar, the Canadian dollar equivalent of net earnings from international operations will be negatively affected.



| | ¡ |  | Transaction exposure
| | - |  | --------------------

We have long-term debt denominated in US dollars. We have designated our US dollar denominated unsecured senior notes as a hedge against the net asset position of our U.S. operations. This debt is converted at the
exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates with the resulting gains or losses included in the statement of comprehensive income. If the Canadian dollar strengthens against the US dollar, we will incur a foreign exchange gain from the
translation of this debt. The vast majority of our international operations are transacted in US dollars or US dollar-pegged currencies. Transactions for our Canadian operations are primarily transacted in Canadian dollars, however, we occasionally
purchase goods and supplies in US dollars for our Canadian operations. These types of transactions and foreign exchange exposure would not typically have a material impact on our financial results.

We may be unable to access additional financing

We may need to obtain additional debt or equity financing in the future to support ongoing operations, undertake capital expenditures, repay existing or future debt (including the secured facility, 2020 Notes, 2019
Notes and 2021 Notes) or to pursue acquisitions or other business combination transactions. Continued or future volatility or uncertainty in the credit markets may increase costs associated with issuing debt and there is no assurance that we will be
able to access additional financing when we need it, or on terms we find acceptable or favorable. If we are unable to raise financing to support ongoing operations or to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt repayments or other business
combination transactions, it could limit growth and may have a material adverse effect on our revenues, cash flows and profitability.

Conditions in the credit markets in the future may adversely affect business

The ability to make scheduled debt repayments, refinance debt obligations or access financing depends on our financial condition and operating
performance, which may be affected by prevailing economic and competitive conditions and certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. Volatility in the credit markets can increase costs associated with debt instruments due to
increased spreads over relevant interest rate benchmarks, or affect our ability to access those markets or the ability of third parties we wish to do business with. We may be unable to maintain sufficient cash flow from operating activities to allow
us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our debt.

In addition, if there is continued or future volatility or
uncertainty in the capital markets, access to financing may be uncertain, and this can have an adverse effect on the industry and our business, including future operating results. Our customers may curtail their drilling programs, which could result
in lower demand for drilling rigs, well service rigs, reduced dayrates and a decrease in demand for directional drilling and turnkey jobs, other wellsite services or equipment utilization. In addition, certain customers may be unable to pay
suppliers, including us, if they are unable to access the capital markets to fund their business operations.

Selling additional
common shares could affect their value

We may issue additional common shares in the future to fund our needs or those of other
entities owned directly or indirectly by us, as authorized by the board. We do not need shareholder approval to issue additional common shares, and shareholders do not have any pre-emptive rights related to share issues.

See Our capital structurefor more information.

The price of our common shares can fluctuate

The price of our common shares
can fluctuate and several factors can cause volatility, like increases or decreases in revenue or earnings, changes in revenue or earnings estimates by the investment community and speculation in media or investment community about our financial
condition or results of operations. General market conditions and Canadian, U.S. or international economic factors and political events unrelated to our performance may also affect the price of our common shares. Investors should therefore not rely
on past performance of our trust units or common shares to predict the future performance of our common shares or financial results.

Variability in asset valuation could negatively affect the value of our common shares

The net asset value of our assets will vary from time to time depending on factors beyond our control. The trading price of our common shares also
fluctuates due to factors beyond our control and the price may be higher or lower than the net asset value of our assets.

We expect
to maintain our status as a foreign private issuer in the U.S., which exempts us from a number of rules under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) and allows us to file less information with the SEC than a
company incorporated in the U.S.

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that
impose disclosure requirements, as well as procedural requirements, for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. Our directors, officers and principal shareholders are also exempt from the reporting and short-swing
profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. We are not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange
Act, nor are we generally required to comply with Regulation FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of material non-public information. As a result, there may be less publicly available information about us than U.S. public companies and this
information may not be provided as promptly. In addition, we are permitted, under a multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the U.S. and Canada, to prepare our disclosure documents in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements,
including preparing our financial statements in accordance with IFRS, which differs in some respects from U.S. GAAP.

We may become a passive foreign investment company (PFIC), which could result in adverse U.S. tax
consequences to U.S. investors

Management does not believe that we are, or will be treated as, a PFIC for U.S. tax purposes. Since
PFIC status is determined on an annual basis and will depend on the composition of our income and assets from time to time, it is possible that we could be considered a PFIC in the future. This could result in adverse U.S. tax consequences to a U.S.
investor. In particular, a U.S. investor would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at ordinary income rates, plus a possible interest charge, for any gain derived from a disposition of common shares, as well as certain distributions by us. In
addition, a step-up in the tax basis of our common shares would not be available if an individual holder dies.

An investor who acquires
10% or more of our common shares may be subject to taxation under the controlled foreign corporation (CFC) rules.

Under certain
circumstances, a U.S. person who directly or indirectly owns 10% or more of the voting power of a foreign corporation that is a CFC (generally, a foreign corporation where 10% of the U.S. shareholders own more than 50% of the voting power or value
of the stock of the foreign corporation) for 30 straight days or more during a taxable year and who holds any shares of the foreign corporation on the last day of the corporations tax year must include in gross income for U.S. federal income
tax purposes its pro rata share of certain income of the CFC even if the share is not distributed to the person. We are currently a CFC, but this could change in the future.

MATERIAL INTERESTS, EXPERTS AND MATERIAL CONTRACTS

Material interests

None of our directors or executive officers, or any shareholder who beneficially owns, or controls or directs, directly or
indirectly, more than 10% of our outstanding common shares, or any of their known associates or affiliates, have a direct or indirect material interest in any transaction affecting us in the three most recently completed financial years or during
2013 to the date of this AIF, or in any proposed transaction that has had or is reasonably expected to have a material effect on Precision.

Interests of experts

KPMG LLP, Chartered Accountants (KPMG) is our external
auditor and has prepared an opinion on our consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

KPMG
has confirmed that with respect to their 2012 audit, they are independent within the meaning of the Rules of Professional Conduct of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Alberta and the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and the rules
and regulations adopted by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in the U.S.

Material contracts

Except for contracts we entered as part of the ordinary course of business, we had four material contracts at the end of 2012. We entered these
contracts prior to 2012 and they are still in effect:

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND REGULATORY ACTIONS

We are not a party to, and our properties are not the subject of, any material legal proceedings. We are also not aware of any potential material
legal proceedings. We have not entered into any settlement agreements or been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority; or by a court or regulatory body that
would likely be considered important to a reasonable investor in making an investment decision.

GOVERNANCE

Board of directors

Our
by-laws provide that the board of directors has full, absolute and exclusive power, control, authority and discretion to manage Precisions business and affairs, subject to the rights of our shareholders.

Directors are elected at each annual meeting of shareholders for a one-year term.

The table below provides information about each director, including his name, place of residence, positions and offices he has held since he was

Mr. Donovan, Mr. Brian Gibson, Mr. Hagerman and Mr. Murray are all considered financial experts. They meet the requirements
because of their training and expertise.

Pre-approval policies and procedures

Under the committee charter, the Audit Committee must approve the external auditors terms of engagement and the compensation to be paid by
Precision. It must also review and pre-approve all permitted non-audit services that will be provided by the auditors, or any of its affiliated entities, to Precision or any of its affiliates subject to a minimum level under applicable law.

The committee implemented specific procedures on pre-approving services to be provided by the external auditors in 2003 and that also
specified certain services that the auditors are prohibited from performing. Management, together with the external auditors, must prepare a list of the proposed services for the coming year and submit it to the committee for its review and
approval.

If the list includes services that have not been pre-approved by the committee, the Chairman of the Audit Committee has the
authority to pre-approve the services, as long as he presents them to the full committee at its next scheduled meeting for ratification. The Audit Committee receives an update on the status of any pre-approved services at each regular meeting.

Since these procedures were implemented in 2003, 100% of each of the services provided by the external auditors relating to the fees
reported as audit, audit-related, tax and all other fees were pre-approved by the Audit Committee or its delegate.

See Appendix A for a
copy of the Audit Committee Charter.

OTHER INFORMATION

Controls and procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures(defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2012.

Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal
financial and accounting officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedure as of December 31, 2012 are effective in ensuring that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act
is:

| | ¡ |  | recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ¡ |  | accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, so they make timely
decisions about the required disclosure.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting
officer believe that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and provide a reasonable level of assurance, they do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all
errors and fraud. A control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met regardless of how well it was designed or functioning.

Internal control over financial reporting

Management is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, which is designed to provide reasonable assurance about the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with IFRS.

Management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, supervised
and participated in an evaluation of the design and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of 2012. The evaluation was based on Internal Control  Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that we maintained effective control over our financial reporting as of December 31, 2012.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in 2012 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially
affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitation of Committees Role

While the Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in its Charter, it is not the duty of the Committee to prepare financial statements, plan or conduct audits or to determine that the
Corporations financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and are in accordance with IFRS and applicable rules and regulations. These are the responsibilities of the Management and the external auditor.

The Committee, the Chair of the Committee and any Committee members identified as having accounting or related financial expertise are members of
the Board of Directors, appointed to the Committee to provide broad oversight of the financial, risk and control-related activities of the Corporation, and are specifically not accountable or responsible for the day-to-day operation or performance
of such activities.

Although the designation of a Committee member as having accounting or related financial expertise for disclosure
purposes is based on that individuals education and experience, which that individual will bring to bear in carrying out his or her duties on the Committee, such designation does not impose on such person any duties, obligations or liabilities
that are greater than the duties, obligations and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the Committee and Board of Directors in the absence of such designation. Rather, the role of a Committee member who is identified as having
accounting or related financial expertise, like the role of all Committee members, is to oversee the process, not to certify or guarantee the internal or external audit of the Corporations financial information or public disclosure.

3. Committee Structure and Authority

Composition

The Committee shall consist of no fewer than three members, at least 25 percent of
whom must be resident Canadians. Each member of the Committee shall be independent under the requirements or guidelines for audit committee service under applicable securities laws and the rules of any stock exchange on which the shares
of the Corporation are listed for trading.

Each member of the Committee must be financially literate as such qualification
is interpreted by the Board of Directors in its business judgment in light of, and in accordance with, the applicable requirements or guidelines. At least one of the members of the Committee must also have accounting or related management
financial expertise as such qualification is interpreted by the Board of Directors in its business judgment in accordance with the applicable requirements or guidelines.

No Committee member shall serve on the audit committees of more than three other issuers without prior determination by the Board of Directors that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such
member to serve effectively on the Committee.

Appointment and Replacement of Committee Members

Each member of the Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. Any member of the Committee may be removed or replaced at any
time by the Board of Directors, and shall automatically cease to be a member of the Committee upon ceasing to be a Director of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may fill vacancies on the Committee by appointment from among its number. The
Board of Directors shall fill any vacancy if the membership of the Committee is less than three directors or Canadian residency requirements are not met. If and whenever a vacancy shall exist on the Committee, the remaining members may exercise all
their power so long as a quorum remains in office and minimum Canadian residency requirements are met. Subject to the foregoing, the members of the Committee shall be appointed by the Board of Directors annually and each member of the Committee
shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation after his or her election or until his or her successor shall be duly qualified and appointed.

Quorum

A majority of the Committee with at least 25 percent resident Canadians, present in
person or by telephone or other telecommunication device that permits all persons participating in the meeting to speak to each other, shall constitute a quorum.

Corporate Secretary of the Corporation or the external auditor of the Corporation may call a meeting. The Committee shall meet at least four times per year and as many additional times as needed to carry out its duties effectively.

Notice of Meetings

Notice of the time and
place of every meeting shall be given in writing or electronic communication to each member of the Committee at least 48 hours prior to the time fixed for such meeting; provided, however, that a member may in any manner waive notice of a meeting.
Attendance of a member at a meeting is a waiver of notice of the meeting except where a member attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting was not lawfully called.

Procedure, Records and Reporting

Subject to any statute or articles or by-laws of the Corporation, the Committee shall fix its own procedures at meetings, keep records of its
proceedings and report to the Board of Directors, generally not later than the next scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors that follows the Committee meeting. In discharging its responsibilities, the Committee shall have full access to any
relevant records of the Corporation.

Attendance of Others at Meetings

The Committee may request any officer or employee of the Corporation, members of Audit Services, the Corporations legal counsel, or any external auditor, to attend a meeting of the Committee or to meet with
any members of, or consultants to the Committee. The Committee shall also have the authority to communicate directly with Audit Services and the external auditor.

Outside Experts and Advisors

The Committee may retain any outside expert or advisor, including
but not limited to, legal, accounting, financial or other consultants, at the Corporations expense, as it determines necessary to carry out its duties. The Committee will assure itself as to the independence of any outside expert or advisor.
