Registration of Additional Securities
By a Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on October 12, 1990, Registration File
No. 33-37252 (the "First Registration Statement"), the Company previously
registered 156,033 shares of the Common Stock of the Company reserved for
issuance from time to time in connection with the Plan. By a Registration
Statement on Form S-8 filed with the Commission on January 10, 1992,
Registration File No. 33-45002 (the "Second Registration Statement"), the
Company previously registered an additional 442,967 shares of the Common Stock
of the Company reserved for issuance from time to time in connection with the
Plan. By a Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the Commission on
November 24, 1993, Registration File No. 33-72150 (the "Third Registration
Statement" and together with the First Registration Statement and the Second
Registration Statement, the "Prior Registration Statements"), the Company
previously registered an additional 800,000 shares of the Common Stock of the
Company reserved for issuance from time to time in connection with the Plan. In
June of 1995 the Company's shareholders authorized the amendment and restatement
of the Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder
to 1,799,000. Subsequently, the Plan was superceded by the 1996 Equity
Participation Plan of Tuboscope Vetco International Corporation, however, 97,152
shares are subject to presently outstanding options granted under the Plan that
are not subject to a prior Registration Statement. Recently the Plan was
amended to provide that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder
is 1,799,000. Under this Registration Statement, the Company is registering the
additional 97,152 shares of the Common Stock issuable under the Plan. The
contents of the Prior Registration Statements are incorporated by reference
herein.

Item 8. Exhibits
--------
See Index to Exhibits on page 6.
Item 9. Undertakings
------------
(a) The Company hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
registration statement;
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration
statement or any material change to such information in this registration
statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Company pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
3
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at termination of the
offering.
(b) The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been
advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
