                 This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements Item 3, 4 and 7 of
the Schedule 13D of Nabors Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Nabors"),
with respect to the shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Common Stock"), of Bayard Drilling Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Bayard").

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

                 As previously disclosed, on October 19, 1998, Bayard, Nabors
and Nabors Acquisition Corp. VII, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Nabors, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement") pursuant to which Nabors will acquire Bayard and each outstanding
share of Common Stock (except for shares of holders who perfect and exercise
dissenters' appraisal rights, treasury shares and shares held by Nabors) will
be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.375 shares of common stock of
Nabors and (ii) $0.30 in cash, without interest.  On January 15, 1999, the
parties to the Merger Agreement entered into an amendment thereto that
eliminated Nabors' obligation to enter into an employment agreement at the time
of the merger with an executive officer of Bayard.  On February 12, 1999, the
parties to the Merger Agreement entered into an amendment thereto which
provides, among other things, that upon the consummation of the merger
contemplated thereby, each outstanding share of Common Stock (except for shares
of holders who perfect and exercise dissenters' appraisal rights, treasury
shares and shares held by Nabors) will be converted into the right to receive
(i) 0.3375 shares of common stock of Nabors and (ii) $0.30 in cash, without
interest.  The amendments to the Merger Agreement are attached hereto as
exhibits and are incorporated by reference into these Items 3 and 4.

                 Concurrently with the execution and delivery on October 19,
1998 of the Merger Agreement, Nabors entered into a Stockholder Agreement with
each of the following Bayard stockholders: (i) Carl B. Anderson, (ii) AnSon
Partners, L.L.C., as successor in interest to AnSon Partners LP, (iii) James E.
Brown, (iv) Energy Spectrum Partners LP and (v) Wil-Cas Investments, L.P.
Pursuant to the Stockholder Agreements, each such stockholder agreed to vote in
favor of the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement.  Attached as Exhibit
3 to this Amendment No.1 to Schedule 13D is the Stockholder Agreement of AnSon
Partners, L.L.C., which Stockholder Agreement supersedes the Stockholder
Agreement previously filed as Exhibit 3.

ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

                 3.       Stockholder Agreement, dated as of October 19, 1998,
between Nabors Industries, Inc., Nabors Acquisition Corp. VII and AnSon
Partners, L.L.C., as successor in interest to AnSon Partners LP (incorporated
by reference to Exhibit 10.4 of the Registration Statement on Form S-4
(Registration No. 333-72397) of Nabors Industries, Inc. filed with the
