ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         As reported in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated August
         28, 1996, on August 14, 1996 (the "Closing Date"), UTI Energy Corp., a
         Delaware corporation (the "Company"), entered into a Stock Purchase
         Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") with The Sam K. Viersen Jr.
         Trust dated September 9, 1986 as Amended and Restated on May 11, 1994
         (the "Seller"), pursuant to which a subsidiary of the Company
         purchased all of the outstanding shares (the "Shares") of capital
         stock of the Viersen & Cochran Drilling Company, an Oklahoma
         corporation ("Viersen").  Viersen owns a fleet of 13 drilling rigs
         with related spare equipment and approximately 600,000 feet of drill
         pipe.  Viersen had suspended its operations prior to the Closing Date.
         The Company intends to use Viersen's assets in its operations and may
         dispose of certain of the acquired assets to the extent such assets
         are determined to be surplus to the future operations of the Company.
         Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the consideration
         paid by the Company for the Shares, which was arrived at through arms-
         length negotiations between the parties, consisted of (i) $6,000,000
         in cash paid on August 14, 1996 (a portion of which the Company
         borrowed under its existing credit agreement); (ii) a two-year
         $8,000,000 promissory note (the "Promissory Note") executed by the
         Company in favor of the Seller; and (iii) stock warrants (the
         "Warrants") to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock,
         $.001 par value, at $15 per share.

         The Promissory Note bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum and is
         payable in full on or before August 14, 1998.  The terms of the
         Promissory Note require the Company to make a principal payment of
         $1,500,000 on or before August 14, 1997 and an additional principal
         payment of $1,500,000 on or before February 14, 1998.  The Company has
         the option under the Promissory Note to pay Seller $7,650,000 plus
         accrued interest on or before February 14, 1997 in full satisfaction
         of the Promissory Note.  The Company's obligations under the
         Promissory Note are guaranteed by Viersen and are secured by a pledge
         of the assets of Viersen pursuant to a security agreement.

                         Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors
Viersen & Cochran Drilling Company

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Viersen & Cochran Drilling
Company (the "Company") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Viersen & Cochran Drilling
Company at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Viersen & Cochran Drilling Company (the "Company"), a Subchapter S Corporation,
owns and operates fourteen drilling rigs. The Company drills wells for oil and
gas exploration companies primarily in Oklahoma and Texas.

CONTRACT DRILLING OPERATIONS

Revenue earned from footage and turnkey drilling contracts is recognized by the
completed contract method, while revenue earned from daywork contracts is
recognized when the drilling service is provided. Provision is made for the
entire amount of expected losses on contracts, if any, in the period in which
such losses are first determined.

VALUATION OF PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT

Properties and equipment are stated at historical cost. Additions and
improvements which add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of
the asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged
to expense when incurred.

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." Under the new
rules, long-lived assets must be reviewed for impairment at the lowest level
for which there are identifiable cash flows for the Company's asset base and
any impairment would be measured based on the fair value of the assets and
would be reported in the year in which the statement is initially adopted. The
statement is required to be adopted by the Company in 1996. The impact of
adopting this statement has not been determined.

DEPRECIATION

Depreciation of properties and equipment is computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

1. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

CREDIT RISK

The Company operates 14 drilling rigs in the states of Oklahoma and Texas and
grants credit, which is generally unsecured, to its customers (Note 4). At
December 31, 1995, approximately 98% of the Company's accounts receivable were
from two customers. The Company has not experienced any significant credit
losses in 1995, 1994 or 1993 and is not aware of any significant uncollectible
accounts at December 31, 1995.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management of the Company to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

INCOME TAXES

The Company has elected to be treated as a small business corporation under
Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, is not subject to
income taxes. The Company's net loss is reported by its stockholders in their
individual income tax returns.

2. RESTRICTED CASH BALANCES

The Company maintains a group insurance plan for its employees and other
affiliated companies' employees. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company
has cash balances of $132,257 and $158,937, respectively, which were restricted
to meet plan costs and claims.

3. SELF-INSURANCE CONTINGENCIES

The Company has a guaranteed cost plan for workers' compensation and general
liability insurance costs for its employees under which the Company is
responsible for claims over $1,000,000 per incident. No workers' compensation
or general liability costs, other than premiums for workers' compensation
insurance covering claims up to $1,000,000, were incurred by the Company during
1995, 1994, and 1993.





                                                                               7

3. SELF-INSURANCE CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

The Company's group insurance plan provides life and health insurance benefits
to the Company's and its affiliated companies' hourly and salaried employees.
Each affiliate pays premiums to the Company and the Company pays claims made by
participants covered by the group insurance plan. The Company had accrued
liabilities for claims payable at December 31, 1995 and 1994 of $86,383 and
$113,115, respectively.

5. EMPLOYEE DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN

The Company has a defined contribution plan which is qualified under Section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Salaried employees who have completed two
years of service with the Company are eligible to participate in the plan. The
plan allows eligible employees to contribute up to a maximum amount, not to
exceed approximately $9,000 in 1995. The Company matches employee contributions
up to 3% of eligible compensation. The Company's annual matching contributions
related to this plan were $19,070, $17,174 and $18,011 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

6. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Company provides contract drilling services to an affiliated entity. During
1994 and 1993, revenues from contract drilling operations include $235,527 and
$251,035, respectively, from this affiliate (none in 1995).





                                                                               8

6. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (CONTINUED)

The Company maintains a group insurance plan in which various affiliated
companies' employees participate (see Note 3).  The Company has various other
related party transactions which are further described below:

    o    General and administrative expenses relating to the Company's Oklahoma
         City district office, where the Company and an affiliated company
         share office space, are shared by the Company and the affiliated
         company.

    o    The Company and an affiliate share all expenditures related to the
         Company's aircraft including salaries and certain related benefits.
         The Company charges the affiliate for the affiliated company's share
         of the cost for the affiliate's aircraft usage.

    o    Certain general and administrative expenses at the Company's corporate
         offices are paid by an affiliated company and are allocated to the
         Company. These items include accounting services, office rent, office
         supplies, telephone usage and postage.

The Company believes shared expenses are allocated to and from the affiliated
company on a reasonable basis. General and Administrative expenses in the
accompanying statements of operations include net amounts allocated from the
affiliate of $15,000 and $22,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively, and a net
amount allocated to the affiliate of $1,000 in 1993.

In connection with these transactions, the Company has certain payables and
receivables with the affiliated company. The payables were $210,191 and $7,729,
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The receivables were $8,101 and
$98,517 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.





                                                                               9

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 25, 1996, the Company adopted a severance pay plan which provides
various severance benefits to certain employees of the Company who are
involuntarily terminated by the Company during 1996, provided that the employee
meets certain eligibility requirements. The Company made severance payments in
1996 of $536,413 related to this plan.

In August 1996, all of the Company's outstanding common stock was sold to UTI
Energy Corp. for approximately $14 million. The sales agreement provided that
certain assets of the Company would either be sold or transferred to an
affiliated company prior to the closing of the sale transaction. Assets sold,
for which the net proceeds were transferred to the affiliated company, included
certain properties and equipment at the Company's Utah facility, including
salvage items (assets previously written off), and automobiles. The Company's
aircraft, aircraft hanger and Oklahoma City building and yard facilities were
transferred to the affiliated company. The assets and liabilities, related to
the Company's group insurance plan described in Note 3 also were transferred to
an affiliated company prior to the closing of the sale transaction.

NOTE 1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements at June 30, 1996 have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10 - Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S - X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the
interim periods have been included.  The results of operations for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the entire years ending December 31, 1996 and 1995.  For further
information, refer to the Company's 1995 audited financial statements.

NOTE 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Company has certain payables with an affiliated company.  The payables,
which relate primarily to short- term advances received from an affiliate, were
$86,630 as of June 30, 1996.

The Company has various other related party transactions which are further
described below:

       o      General and administrative expenses relating to the Company's
              Oklahoma City district office, where the Company and an
              affiliated company share office space, are shared by the Company
              and the affiliated company.

       o      The Company and an affiliate share all expenditures related to
              the Company's aircraft including salaries and certain related
              benefits.  The Company charges the affiliate for the affiliated
              company's share of the cost for the affiliate's aircraft usage.

       o      Certain general and administrative expenses at the Company's
              corporate offices are paid by an affiliated company and are
              allocated to the Company.  These items include accounting
              services, office rent, office supplies, telephone usage and
              postage.

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, all of the Company's outstanding common
stock was sold to UTI Energy Corp. on August 14, 1996.  The Stock Purchase
Agreement provided that certain assets of the Company would either be sold or
transferred to an affiliated company prior to the closing of the sale
transaction.  Assets sold, for which the net proceeds were transferred to the
affiliated company, included certain properties and equipment at the Company's
Utah facility, including salvage items (assets previously written off), and
automobiles.  The Company's aircraft, aircraft hanger and Oklahoma City
building and yard facilities were transferred to an affiliated company.  Such
sales and transfers were substantially accomplished prior to June 30, 1996.

               Acquisition of Viersen & Cochran Drilling Company
                   Acquisition of FWA Drilling Company, Inc.
                                  (Unaudited)


       On August 14, 1996 (the "Closing Date"), UTI Energy Corp., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the
"Stock Purchase Agreement") with The Sam K. Viersen Jr. Trust dated September
9, 1986 as Amended and Restated on May 11, 1994 (the "Seller"), pursuant to
which a subsidiary of the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares (the
"Shares") of capital stock of the Viersen & Cochran Drilling Company, an
Oklahoma corporation ("Viersen").  Viersen owns a fleet of 13 drilling rigs
with related spare equipment and approximately 600,000 feet of drill pipe.
Viersen had suspended its operations prior to the Closing Date.  The Company
intends to use Viersen's assets in its operations and may dispose of certain of
the acquired assets to the extent such assets are determined to be surplus to
the future operations of the Company.  Under the terms of the Stock Purchase
Agreement, the consideration paid by the Company for the Shares, which was
arrived at through arms-length negotiations between the parties, consisted of
(i) $6,000,000 in cash paid on August 14, 1996 (a portion of which the Company
borrowed under its existing credit agreement); (ii) a two-year $8,000,000
promissory note (the "Promissory Note") executed by the Company in favor of the
Seller; and (iii) stock warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase 200,000 shares of
the Company's common stock, $.001 par value, at $15 per share.

       The Promissory Note bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum and is
payable in full on or before August 14, 1998.  The terms of the Promissory Note
require the Company to make a principal payment of $1,500,000 on or before
August 14, 1997 and an additional principal payment of $1,500,000 on or before
February 14, 1998.  The Company has the option under the Promissory Note to pay
Seller $7,650,000 plus accrued interest on or before February 14, 1997 in full
satisfaction of the Promissory Note.  The Company's obligations under the
Promissory Note are guaranteed by Viersen and are secured by a pledge of the
assets of Viersen pursuant to a security agreement.

       On November 20, 1995, the Company purchased the capital stock of FWA
Drilling Company, Inc., (FWA), from USX Corporation for $14.0 million in cash.
The purchase price was determined through arms length negotiations.  There is
no relationship between USX and UTI, or any affiliate, officer or director of
UTI or any associate of any such person.  The purchase was completed by using
$9.0 million in term debt furnished by an equipment finance company along with
the cash proceeds from a private equity placement and cash on hand.  FWA
Drilling owns and operates 29 drilling rigs, located in west and east Texas.

       The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 1996 assumes that
the acquisition of Viersen occurred on June 30, 1996.  The unaudited pro forma
statements of operations assume that the acquisitions of Viersen and FWA
occurred on January 1, 1995.
