       Form 8-K filed February 8, 2022

       Exhibit 99.1
       Segment Reporting, page 3

   1.                                                   We note the
presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted operating income (loss) for
                                                        each of your reportable
segments. Please revise your disclosure as it appears Adjusted
                                                        EBITDA by segment
should be reconciled to Adjusted operating income (loss) by
                                                        segment as it is the
measure used by management to evaluate segment performance.
                                                        Refer to Item
10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K.
   2.                                                   Tell us whether Daily
Rig Margin is a non-GAAP measure for which disclosure pursuant
                                                        to Item 10(e) of
Regulation S-K should be provided. In addition, revise to explain how
                                                        Daily Rig Revenue is
calculated.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Income (Loss) from Continuing
Operations
Before Income Taxes, page 5

3.       Please revise to reconcile the non-GAAP measures Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted
         operating income (loss) in a manner that gives prominence to the most
directly
         comparable GAAP-basis measure. Refer to Item 10(e)(1)(i)(A) of
Regulation S-K and
         question 102.10 of the Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations
regarding Non-GAAP
         Financial Measures.
Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities,
page 7

4.       Please revise the title used for the non-GAAP measure Free cash flow
as it is not
         calculated in the typical manner. Also, your statement that Free cash
flow is an indicator
         of your ability to generate cash flow after required spending to
maintain or expand your
         asset base does not appear to be appropriate. Refer to question of the
102.07 of the
         Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations regarding Non-GAAP Financial
Measures.
Exhibit 99.2, page 1

5.       We note the presentation of certain measures in your earnings
presentation such as, but
         not limited to, Combined Drilling and Solutions daily margin and
Combined gross margin
         on page 5 and Annual EBITDA per rig for SANAD on page 10. Please tell
us whether
         these are non-GAAP measures and how you considered the disclosure
requirements per
         Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K and Regulation G for the non-GAAP
measures not
         identified in the Appendix. In addition, tell us how the measure of
gross margin shown on
         page 3 of your earnings presentation is calculated.
6.       Consider the above comments as they relate to the Appendix section
(e.g., the
         reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Income
(loss)).
       In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are
responsible for the
accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review,
comments, action or
absence of action by the staff.
