Roe Patterson, Basic’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “February operating activity was affected by severe weather conditions in the last week of the month, particularly in our Permian Basin and Mid-Continent operating areas. Weather influence in February reduced well servicing utilization by about 600 basis points and fluid service hours by five percent. Icy conditions also prevented several of our stimulation crews from reaching job locations, resulting in the loss of about one day of activity. Furthermore, the decline in contract drilling utilization reflects our customers’ reduction in drilling plans.
