FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WARRIOR ENERGY SERVICES CORPORATION ANNOUNCES EXECUTION OF
AMENDED CREDIT AGREEMENT


Tuesday, August 15, 2006


         Columbus, Mississippi. Warrior Energy Services Corporation (NASDAQ -
WARR) ("Warrior Energy" or the "Company") announced today that it has entered
into an amendment to its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Credit
Agreement") with General Electric Capital Corporation.

         The principal amendments to the Credit Agreement effected are to
increase the revolving credit facility by $15.0 million to a revolving credit
facility limit of up to $30.0 million, subject to certain limitations, and to
increase the lending limit on the capital expenditure loan facility by $20.0
million to a lending limit of up to $25.0 million, also subject to certain
limitations. As amended, the Credit Agreement provides a total financing
facility of $85.0 million, including a term loan of $30.0 million borrowed in
December 2005.

         Additional changes effected by the amendment are to extend the date
through which capital expenditure loans are available to be made by six months
to June 16, 2007 and to increase further the maximum amount of capital
expenditures the Company is permitted to make to $45.0 million during the year
ended December 31, 2006, $50.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2007,
and $40.0 million during the year ended December 31 2008.

         The repayment provisions of the capital expenditure loan were amended
to provide that the capital expenditure loan is to be repaid in eight quarterly
installments commencing January 1, 2007 and continuing thereafter with the first
two installments to be equal to $250,000 and the last six installments to be
equal to the sum of $250,000 plus 1/20th of the principal amount of the capital
expenditure loan funded on or after August 14, 2006. A final ninth installment
is due and payable on December 16, 2008 and is to be in the amount of the entire
remaining balance of the capital expenditure loan.

         The Credit Agreement was further amended to enable us to request and
the lenders agreed to provide or enable the issuance to us of letters of credit
and to provide that the interest rate margins above the Index Rate are amended
to provide for the addition of two lower-bracket interest rate margins if
certain more favorable ratios of funded debt to EBITDA are achieved.

         The Company also stated that its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended June 30, 2006 filed with the Commission on June 11, 2006
reclassified certain amounts that were reflected as a financing use of cash in
the Company's press release issued on August 10, 2006. A change of control
payment in the amount of approximately $1.6 million made during the quarter
ended June 30, 2006 was reclassified and removed as a deduction from cash flows
from financing activities and was deducted from cash flows from operating
activities. The payment had been accrued for and expensed during the fourth
quarter of the year ended December 31, 2005 and therefore there was no effect on
the Company's operating results for the three or six months ended June 30, 2006.
There also was no effect on the Company's cash and cash equivalents at June 30,
2006.
