                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS




Board of Directors
UTI Energy Corp.


We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets acquired of Southland
Drilling Company, Ltd. ("Southland"), as of April 11, 1997, and the historical
statement of revenues and direct and indirect operating expenses (excluding
depreciation) for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.  These statements
are the responsibility of Southland's management and UTI Energy Corp.'s
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these statements
based on our audit.

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

The accompanying statements were prepared for the purpose of complying with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion
in the registration statement on Form 8-K of UTI Energy Corp.) and are not
intended to be a complete presentation of the financial position or the
revenues and expenses of the assets or of the entity mentioned above.

In our opinion, the statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the net assets acquired of Southland, as described in Note
2, as of April 11, 1997, and its historical revenues and direct and indirect
operating expenses (excluding depreciation) for the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                      SOUTHLAND DRILLING COMPANY, LTD.
                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     1.  ACQUISITION

     Effective April 11, 1997, UTI Energy Corp. ("UTI") acquired certain
     drilling rigs and related equipment (the "Assets") from Southland Drilling
     Company, Ltd. ("Southland"), pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated
     March 5, 1997.  The purchase price of the Assets consisted of $27,068,000
     in cash and 100,000 warrants to purchase UTI common stock at $48.00 per
     share.

     2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The statements are not intended to be a complete presentation in
     conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, but present the
     net assets acquired and the historical gross drilling contract revenues,
     operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses
     directly associated with assets acquired by UTI, excluding depreciation
     expense.  The statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates
     and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the statements.
     Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The Statement of Net
     Assets Acquired gives effect to the allocation of the purchase price,
     which is based on UTI's experience in the industry, purchases of similar
     assets in the past and on a fair market value appraisal of eight similar
     drilling rigs purchased on January 27, 1997, by an independent valuation
     firm, dated March 6, 1997.  The Statements of Revenues and Direct and
     Indirect Operating Expenses (Excluding Depreciation) reflects the
     historical gross drilling contract revenues, operating expenses and
     selling, general and administrative expenses directly associated with the
     assets acquired and, accordingly, includes contract revenues and operating
     expenses related to both dayrate and turnkey contracts and selling, general
     and administrative expenses directly associated with the personnel and
     facilities acquired.  Southland recognized revenues and expenses on
     dayrate contracts as the work progressed and recognized turnkey contract
     revenues on a percentage of completion method, measured by the ratio which
     contract costs incurred to date bear to total estimated contract costs.

     Southland was primarily engaged in the domestic onshore contract oil and
     gas drilling operations and development of domestic oil and gas reserves.
     Southland's historical accounting records reflect the direct operating
     revenues, direct operating expenses and selling, general and
     administrative expenses directly associated with its contract drilling
     operations.

     As noted above, UTI acquired substantially all of the direct operating
     assets of Southland's drilling operations and assumed all drilling
     contracts in existence on the closing date, however, UTI did not acquire
     Southland's corporate assets.  Certain corporate overhead and other
     expenses were allocated by related entities and owners to Southland in its
     internal financial records. That portion of such expenses not directly
     associated with assets acquired or personnel transferring to UTI have been
     excluded from expenses in these financial statements. Additionally,
     interest expense, interest income and other income and expenses have also
     not been included in such statement as the related assets were not
     purchased nor the related liabilities assumed.

     In the opinion of management, the unaudited Statements of Revenue and
     Direct and Indirect Operating Expenses (Excluding Depreciation) includes
     all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments,
     necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the
     period January 1, 1997 through April 11, 1997.  Although management
     believes the disclosures in these Statements are adequate to make the
     information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote
     disclosures normally included in annual audited financial statements
     prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have 
     been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the 
     Securities and Exchange Commission.

     During the years ended December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, Southland
     had the following transactions with affiliated parties:


     o    Southland provided drilling services to affiliated companies in the 
          amount of $3,232,440 during 1996, and $3,214,340 during 1995.

     o    Southland made payments to affiliated companies for drilling services
          and equipment rental in the amount of $207,914 during 1996, and 
          $48,451 during 1995.      


     4.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     The asset purchase agreement (Section 3.2) states that UTI purchased
     Southland's trade accounts receivable, prepaid assets, and assumed the
     trade accounts payable, and subject to evaluation by both UTI and
     Southland, Southland would pay UTI cash for any amount for which the
     accounts payable exceeded the accounts receivable and prepaid assets.
     However, subsequent to closing, UTI and Southland verbally agreed to
     disregard Section 3.2 of the agreement, and therefore UTI did not acquire
     the accounts receivable and prepaid assets nor assume the accounts
     payable.  Rather, Southland would continue to own and service these
     accounts in all respects.  As no value was assigned to the net value of
     these assets with regard to the purchase price, the accounts receivable,
     prepaid assets, and accounts payable accounts were not included in the
     Statement of Net Assets Acquired.

Southland

On April 11, 1997, UTI Energy Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
acquired the land drilling operations of Southland Drilling Company Ltd., a
Texas limited partnership ("Southland") for approximately $27.1 million in cash
and a five-year warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common
stock, $.001 par value ("Common Stock"), at an exercise price of $48.00 per
share (the "Southland Acquisition").  The purchase price was determined through
arms-length negotiations between the parties.  The acquired assets include
eight land drilling rigs, various equipment and rig components, and other
equipment used in Southland's contract drilling business.  The Company also
assumed various drilling contracts of Southland and hired Southland's rig
crews.  The Company intends to utilize the Southland assets and crews in its
existing land drilling operations.  The Southland Acquisition further expands
the Company's operations in the active oil and gas producing areas in South
Texas and the Gulf Coast and increases the Company's rig fleet to 82 rigs.

The Southland Acquisition was effected pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement
dated as of March 5, 1997, by and between the Company and Southland.  The
Southland Acquisition was funded with a combination of the Company's existing
cash, the net proceeds from the private placement of $25 million principal
amount of its 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2001 (the "Subordinated Notes")
and the net proceeds from a new $25 million three-year term-loan facility with
Mellon Bank N.A. (the "Mellon Term Loan").  In connection with the Mellon Term
Loan, the Company also increased the amount available under its line of credit
(the "Line of Credit") with Mellon Bank N.A. ("Mellon") from $8.4 million to
$12.0 million.  The Subordinated Notes were issued by the Company at a discount
of 2% and were issued with a seven-year warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $32.50 per share.  The warrants are also
subject to call at $.25 per warrant after six months under certain circumstances
if the market price of the Common Stock is greater than $45.00 per share over a
90 day period.  The Company utilized a portion of the net proceeds from the
Mellon Term Loan to refinance approximately $18.6 million in indebtedness that
was incurred in connection with its prior acquisitions of FWA Drilling Company,
Inc., Viersen & Cochran Drilling Company ("Viersen") and the contract drilling
assets of Quarles Drilling Corporation ("Quarles").  The indebtedness under the
Mellon Term Loan is secured by substantially all of the Company's rig assets,
inventory and accounts receivable.

Quarles

On January 27, 1997, pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Asset Purchase
Agreement dated as of December 31, 1996 (the "Quarles Agreement"), by and
between the Company and Quarles, the Company purchased the contract drilling
assets (the "Quarles Assets") of Quarles for a total purchase price of $16.2
million (the "Quarles Purchase Price").  The Quarles Purchase Price was
determined through arms-length negotiations between the parties.  The Quarles
Assets, which were utilized in Quarles' contract drilling business, consist of
eight operating drilling rigs and one stacked drilling rig and various
equipment and rig components.  The Company has utilized the Quarles Assets in
its existing contract drilling operations.

                ACQUISITION OF SOUTHLAND DRILLING COMPANY, LTD.
                  ACQUISITION OF QUARLES DRILLING CORPORATION
               ACQUISITION OF VIERSEN & COCHRAN DRILLING COMPANY
                                  (UNAUDITED)



In connection with the Company's acquisition of the Quarles Assets, the Company
retained Don Quarles, the President of Quarles, as a consultant to the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of the Quarles Agreement, the Quarles Purchase Price was
paid utilizing $8.1 million in cash and 256,175 shares of Common Stock having a
value at the time the agreement was negotiated of $8.1 million, subject to
adjustment as described below.  The cash portion of the Quarles Purchase Price
was funded with a $4.1 million in borrowings under the Line of Credit and a new
$4.0 million term loan (the "Interim Term Loan") with Mellon.  The borrowings
under the Line of Credit and Interim Term Loan bore interest at the bank's prime
rate and were secured by a pledge of certain of the Company's rigs, accounts
receivable and inventory.  The Interim Term Loan was repaid by the Company on
April 11, 1997.

Under the terms of the Quarles Agreement, Quarles is entitled to receive
additional shares of Common Stock in the event the average market price (as
defined in the Quarles Agreement) of the Common Stock on the date a registration
statement covering the resale of the Common Stock issued to Quarles is declared
effective is less than $31.69 per share.  The number of additional shares will
be equal to a number of shares sufficient to provide Quarles with $8.1 million
of Common Stock based on the average market price of the Common Stock on such
date.  In the event the average market price of the Common Stock is greater than
$31.69 per share on such date, Quarles is required to return a number of shares
of Common Stock having a value (at such market price) equal to one-half of the
amount by which the market price of the shares (at such market price) initially
issued is greater than $8.1 million.  The Company has granted Quarles certain
registration rights with respect to the Common Stock issued in connection with
the acquisition.

Viersen

On August 14, 1996, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement  with
The Sam K. Viersen Jr. Trust dated September 9, 1986 as Amended and Restated on
May 11, 1994 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which a subsidiary of
the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Viersen & Cochran Drilling Company ("Viersen").  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 then 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 to purchase 200,000 shares of the
Company's common stock, $.001 par value, at $15 per share.

The Promissory Note bore interest at the rate of 6% per annum and was payable
in full on or before August 14, 1998.  The terms of the Promissory Note
required 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 had the option under the Promissory Note to pay
Seller $7,655,000 plus accrued interest on or before April 14, 1997 in full
satisfaction of the Promissory Note.  The Company's obligations under the
Promissory Note were guaranteed by Viersen and were secured by a pledge of the
assets of Viersen pursuant to a security agreement.  On April 11, 1997, the
Company repaid in full the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the
Promissory Note.
