Parker Drilling Company, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation.
The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3, as previously amended
(the "Registration Statement"), which was declared effective by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on May 17, 1993. The Company
registered with the Commission under the Registration Statement 1,575,000
shares of the common stock, par value $.16-2/3 per share (the "Shares"), to be
offered for resale for the account of two stockholders of the Company (the
"Selling Stockholders"). The Company did not, as described in the
Registration Statement, receive any of the proceeds of any sale(s) of the
Shares. The two Selling Stockholders were Quantum Fund N.V., which owned
925,000 of the Shares registered for its resale, and the Royal Bank of Canada,
through its nominee Roytor & Co., which owned the other 650,000 Shares
registered for resale. Prior to the date of this Post-Effective Amendment,
the Company processed a sale of the 650,000 Shares by the Royal Bank of
Canada, through its nominee Roytor & Co.
The Company, pursuant to one of its undertakings contained in the
Registration Statement, files this Post-Effective Amendment Number 1 for the
sole purpose of removing, and the Company hereby notifies the Commission that
such Shares will hereafter be removed, from registration with the Commission
under the Registration Statement, all 925,000 of the Shares registered
pursuant to the Registration Statement which remain unsold at this time.
