August 19, 2014

Dear Employee,

As you know, in late June, Nabors and C&J Energy Services (“C&J”) announced plans to combine the Nabors’ Completion and Production Services business in the U.S. and Nabors’ Production Services business in Canada with C&J to form a new publicly-traded company that will maintain the C&J Energy Services name and brand. This is an exciting time for all of us and we are eager to join our two great organizations and integrate our operations.

I want to take this opportunity to update you on the progress we are making with respect to our integration planning efforts.  Representatives from both Nabors and C&J have come together to form an integration team to help guide this process.  We are focused on ensuring that our new consolidated company will be prepared to take full advantage of the significant synergies and new opportunities that will come with our greater scale, capabilities and resources.  Central to this effort is determining our future organizational structure.

The integration team has evaluated and made recommendations regarding the organizational structure to be implemented following completion of this transaction. Although the integration team is still working through and developing the overall organizational structure, I am pleased to inform you that we have determined the structure of the senior-most Executive Management Team for the new C&J combined company.

First, I will join as President of the Company’s Production Services division, responsible for what was formerly the Production Services line of NCPS, NPS and Abandonrite, including workover rigs, fluids, plug and abandonment services and KVS, both domestically and internationally.  Additionally:

·                  Josh Comstock, C&J’s current Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, will continue in his role as CEO and Chairman.

·                  Randy McMullen, C&J’s current President and Chief Financial Officer, will continue in his role as President and Chief Financial Officer and he will maintain responsibility for Accounting, Treasury, M&A, Investor Relations, HR, and IT/Business Systems.

·                  Don Gawick, C&J’s current Chief Operating Officer, will continue in his role as Chief Operating Officer.  In this role, he will oversee all of the Company’s Completion and Production Services divisions (both domestically and internationally), as well as Research & Technology, Sales and Marketing, and Corporate Operations Development.

·                  Jim Prestidge, C&J’s current Chief Strategy Officer, will maintain the role of Chief Strategy Officer.  In this role, he will oversee Supply Chain Management, Total Manufacturing, Blue Ribbon Technology, QHSE, and International Strategy Development.

·                  Ted Moore, C&J’s current Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, will continue in his role as Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, with Compliance, Litigation, IP, international tax and strategy, and risk management under his purview.

As we continue to develop our integration plans, we will methodically analyze and, where deemed necessary, redesign each of the organizational groups across all of our product and service lines and support functions.  Our focus is to prepare our new combined company to continue growing into a leading diversified, global provider of the most technologically advanced completion and production services, while maintaining the high level of service quality, efficiency and execution.

As we move toward a consolidated company and decisions are made in the integration planning process, we will inform you in a timely manner. As part of our commitment to be open with our communications throughout this process, we have created a dedicated email address through which you can submit questions about this transaction: AskC&J@cjenergy.com. The integration team will review questions submitted, respond as we are able, and will make answers to “frequently asked questions” available for everyone in upcoming communications.

In closing, I want to thank you for hard work and attention to quality, detail and customer service.  I look forward to embarking on this new, shared chapter with you.

Sincerely,

Larry P. Heidt

President

Nabors Completion & Production Services Co.
