              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1  Interim Financial Information

                 The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Nabors Industries, Inc. (the "Company" or "Nabors") are prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles, but do not purport to be a
complete presentation inasmuch as all note disclosures required are not
included.  Reference is made to the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K
for additional note disclosures.

                 In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of
the Company as of December 31, 1995 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the respective periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994.
Interim results for the three months ended December 31, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of results which will be realized for the full year
ending September 30, 1996.


Note 2  Capital Stock

                 During the three month period ended December 31, 1995, 285,600
options were exercised at prices ranging from $1.07 to $6.875 per share.  In
addition, 19,268 common shares were issued upon vesting under a stock award
plan.

                 During October 1995, the Company purchased for $1.0 million
650,000 warrants that the Company had previously issued in connection with the
purchase of several drilling rigs in April 1994.  The warrants were
excercisable until April 1996 at $7.92 per share.

Note 3  Commitments and Contingencies

Capital Expenditures

                 As of December 31, 1995, the Company had capital expenditure
commitments totaling approximately $10.3 million.

Contingencies

                 A petition was filed on March 4, 1994, in the 61st Judicial
Court, of Harris County, Texas, against Nealwell Drilling Limited ("Nealwell")
and Sundowner Offshore Services, Inc. ("Sundowner"), asserting that Nealwell
breached a contract, and Sundowner tortiously interfered with alleged contract
rights of Primrose Drilling Ventures, Ltd., when Sundowner purchased a jackup
workover rig from Nealwell for $2.0 million in cash.  Sundowner was merged with
Nabors during October 1994.  Primrose has alleged approximately $34.5 million
in actual damages, as well as exemplary damages not less than its actual
damages.  Company management believes that the litigation instituted by
Primrose is without merit and intends to vigorously defend all claims of
Primrose.  The case is in the discovery stages.

                 The Company is a defendant or otherwise involved in a number
of lawsuits. In the opinion of management, the Company's ultimate liability
with respect to these lawsuits is not expected to have a significant or
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations.

ITEM 2.
                   NABORS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Quarter of Fiscal 1996 Compared to First Quarter of Fiscal 1995

                 Company revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1996
("Current Quarter") totaled $164.3 million, representing a $38.3 million, or
30% increase over the prior year comparable quarter.  Operating income during
the Current Quarter totaled $17.3 million compared to $13.7 million during the
prior year quarter.  Net income totaled $15.3 million ($.17 per share) during
the Current Quarter compared to $11.1 million ($.13 per share) during the prior
year quarter.  The significant improvement in operating results was due
primarily to improved results of the Company's operations in the US Lower 48,
Alaska and Venezuela.

                 The following tables set forth financial information with
respect to the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis by

                 North America (including Canada) revenues totaled $123.2
million during the Current Quarter, representing a 37% increase over the prior
year comparable quarter.  The increase was primarily attributable to a 48%
increase in revenues for the Company's US Lower 48 operations resulting in part
from increased equivalent rig years associated with the addition of the Delta
Drilling Company rigs acquired in January 1995 and the completion of a greater
number of turnkey contracts during the Current Quarter.  Average per day
revenues for the US Lower 48 were also positively impacted by the Current
Quarter turnkey contracts as per day revenues associated with turnkey contracts
are typically higher than daywork or footage contracts.  Revenues for the Gulf
of Mexico operations increased by 23% during the Current Quarter due to
increased equivalent rig years for the Company's platform drilling rigs and
increased equivalent

rig years for the Company's platform workover rigs resulting from the addition
of the newly constructed Super Sundowner XV and XVI rigs, which commenced
operations in February and September 1995, respectively.  Additionally,
Sundowner XII was redeployed from Australia to the Gulf of Mexico in May 1995.
Alaska revenues increased by 41% as a result of three additional rigs working
during the Current Quarter as compared to the prior year quarter.  Equivalent
rig years for North America during the Current Quarter totaled 147.8 years as
compared to 121.2 years during the prior year comparable quarter.

                 International revenues totaled $41.1 million during the
Current Quarter, representing a 13% increase over the prior year comparable
quarter.  Equivalent international rig years totaled 26.9 years during the
Current Quarter, as compared with 23.2 years in the prior year comparable
quarter.  Revenues for the Company's South and Central America operations
increased by 37%  during the Current Quarter primarily due to increased
activity in Venezuela where equivalent rig years totaled 13.8 years as compared
to 9.3 years during the prior year comparable quarter.  Equivalent labor
contract years in Venezuela were 4.0 years in both the Current Quarter and the
prior year comparable quarter.  Additionally, South and Central America
revenues were positively impacted by the commencement of a one rig drilling
contract in Colombia during the Current Quarter.  Revenues for the Company's
Middle Eastern, CIS and other international operations were flat as compared to
the prior year comparable period as equivalent rig years totaled 10.7 years as
compared to 11.8 years for the prior year. UK North Sea revenues increased by
9% during the Current Quarter as a result of three additional labor contracts
as compared to the prior year comparable quarter.

                 The following table sets forth selected consolidated financial
information of the Company expressed as a percentage of total operating
revenues:

</TABLE>

                 Direct costs as percentage of revenues increased during the
Current Quarter as compared to the prior year comparable quarter.  The decrease
in operating margins is largely due to a greater percentage of the Company's
total revenues during the Current Quarter being generated by the Company's US
Lower 48 operations.  The contracts in the US Lower 48 are usually at a lower
gross margin percentage than international and Alaska contracts.  Selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased
during the Current Quarter due to the increase in revenues for the US Lower 48
operations, as these expenses were spread over a larger revenue base.

                 In December 1995  the Venezuela bolivar devalued by
approximately 71% as compared to the US dollar due to the deterioration in that
country's economic condition. As a result of the devaluation, the Company
recognized a translation gain of $.3 million during the Current Quarter as the
Company had a bolivar denominated net monetary liability position.

                 The income tax provision decreased during the Current Quarter
due to an increased percentage of the Company's pretax earnings being generated
by the Company's US operations, as substantially all of this income is offset
by available US Federal net operating loss carryforwards.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

                 Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $5.3 million during the
Current Quarter compared to a decrease of $13.6 million during the prior year
comparable quarter.

                 Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $16.0
million during the Current Quarter compared to $6.6 million during the prior
year comparable quarter.  During the Current Quarter and prior year comparable
quarter, net income, as adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation, was
partially offset by the negative impact on cash from changes in the Company's
working capital accounts.

                 Net cash used for investing activities totaled $31.4 million
during the Current Quarter compared to $9.2 million during the prior year
comparable quarter.  Capital expenditures, cash paid for an acquisition in
Alaska and purchases of marketable securities represented the primary uses of
cash during the Current Quarter.  During the prior year comparable quarter,
capital expenditures and the purchase of marketable securities represented the
primary uses of cash, partially offset by maturities of marketable securities.

                 Financing activities provided cash totaling $10.2 million
during the Current Quarter compared to $11.0 million in cash used during the
prior year comparable quarter.  During the Current Quarter cash was provided by
long- term and short-term borrowings, as well as a decrease in restricted cash.
In the prior year quarter, cash was used for scheduled principal payments on
long-term obligations, a reduction in short-term borrowings, and common stock
transactions.

                 The Company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments in marketable securities totaled $16.5 million as of December 31,
1995.  In addition, the Company had long-term investments in marketable
securities of $10.8 million as of December 31, 1995.  The Company currently has
credit facility arrangements with a number of banks totaling $53.7 million.
These credit facilities are limited at any given time to receivables of certain
of the Company's subsidiaries.  As of December 31, 1995, remaining
availability, after borrowings on the facilities and outstanding letters of
credit, totaled approximately $8.8 million.

                 As of December 31, 1995, the Company had capital expenditure
commitments totaling approximately $10.3 million.

                 The current cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments,
credit facility position, and projected cash flow generated from current
operations are expected to adequately finance the Company's non-discretionary
capital and debt service requirements for the next twelve months.

OTHER MATTERS

                 The Company's financial condition and results of operations
are dependent upon the level of spending by oil and gas companies for
exploration, development and production activities.  Therefore, a sustained
increase or decrease in the price of oil or natural gas, which could have a
material impact on exploration, development and production activities, could
materially affect the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
Generally, a sustained change in the price of oil would have a greater impact
on the Company's Alaska and International operations, while a sustained change
in the price of natural gas would have a greater impact on the US Lower 48,
Gulf of Mexico, and Canadian operations.
