    (b)   Pro forma financial information.

    The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 is an update to, and should be read in conjunction
with, the pro forma financial information included in the Company's Form 8-K/A
dated June 12, 1997 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
August 12, 1997.  The unaudited pro forma financial information herein reflects
adjustments necessary to give effect to the acquisition on June 12, 1997 by
Patterson Drilling Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Patterson Energy, Inc.

forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions
the Company believes are reasonable.  The unaudited pro forma financial
information is not necessarily indicative of operating results that would have
occurred had the acquisition been consummated on January 1, 1997, nor are they
indicative of future operating results of the combined companies.

                NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF INCOME


1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

                 On June 12, 1997, Patterson Drilling Company, a wholly-owned
         subsidiary of Patterson Energy, Inc. (the "Company"), consummated an
         acquisition of the contract drilling assets of Wes-Tex Drilling Company
         ("Wes-Tex"), a privately-held, non-affiliated company based in Abilene,
         Texas, for a purchase price of approximately $35.4 million, consisting
         of $25.0 million in cash, 283,000 shares of the Company's common stock,
         $0.01 par value, (valued at $31.50 per share), a three-year stock
         purchase warrant (valued at $6.24 per share) to purchase 200,000
         additional shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of
         $32 per share and approximately $190,000 of other direct costs incurred
         relative to the transaction. The acquisition was funded using $19.0
         million of the Company's cash on hand and $6.0 million provided by the
         Company's line of credit.  The assets acquired consisted of 21 fully
         operable drilling rigs, all related rolling stock and a shop and yard.
         The Company did not assume any liabilities of Wes-Tex.

                 The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects
         adjustments necessary to give effect to the acquisition on June 12,
         1997 by the Company of the contract drilling assets of Wes-Tex, as
         described above. The unaudited pro forma statement of income for the
         nine months ended September 30, 1997, assumes the acquisition was 
         completed on January 1, 1997.

                 The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information
         and certain assumptions the Company believes are reasonable.  The
         unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily
         indicative of operating results that would have occurred had the
         acquisition been consummated on January 1, 1997, nor are they
         indicative of future operating results of the combined companies.

                 The contract drilling revenue and direct operating expenses of
         Wes-Tex presented herein only include the revenues and expenses
         directly associated with the drilling operations of Wes-Tex, as well
         as the general and administrative expenses allocated to such drilling
         activities.  General and administrative expenses were allocated
         proportionately based on revenues contributed by the drilling and oil
         and natural gas production operations of Wes-Tex.  Management believes
         that this is a reasonable basis to allocate general and administrative
         expenses.

2.       FINANCIAL INFORMATION  PRESENTED

                 The unaudited pro forma statement of income for the nine months
         ended September 30, 1997 was prepared using the unaudited consolidated
         financial statements for the quarterly period ended September 30, 1997
         of the Company as reported under Form 10-Q and the unaudited financial
         statements of Wes-Tex for the period ended June 12, 1997, the
         acquisition date, and should be read in conjunction with such Form 10-Q
         of the Company.  The results of the contract drilling  operations of
         Wes-Tex, subsequent to June 12, 1997, are included in the consolidated
         financial statements of the Company as of and for the period ended
         September 30, 1997.

3.       PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

         a.  Depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense and income
             tax expense were adjusted to reflect increases resulting from the
             acquisition of the contract drilling assets of Wes-Tex.
             Depreciation expense was determined on a straight line basis using
             depreciable lives consistent with those historically used by the
