Exhibit 99.1 OIL STATES ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER 2004 EARNINGS HOUSTON, Feb. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oil States International, Inc. (NYSE: OIS) today reported a 62% year-over-year increase in net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2004. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2004 increased to $15.5 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, from $9.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2003. Oil States' revenues and EBITDA (defined as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the fourth quarter of 2004 increased 49% and 72%, respectively, from last year's results due to the continued strength of Tubular Services and Well Site Services segments coupled with the realization of returns generated from capital investments and acquisitions completed earlier in 2004.(A) The Company generated $293.1 million of revenues and $36.0 million of EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2004 compared to $197.4 million and $21.0 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2003. Tubular Services benefited from continued strong U.S. land drilling activity, limited oil country tubular goods ("OCTG") supplies and benefits from the acquisition of the U.S. OCTG distribution business of Hunting Energy Services, L.P. ("Hunting"), completed in May 2004. Well Site Services generated increased revenues and EBITDA due to strong land drilling and Canadian oil sands activity, benefits of capital investments made in the land drilling and accommodations businesses and positive results from businesses acquired in the last twelve months. The growth realized in our Tubular Services and Well Site Services segments was partially offset by lower year-over-year results from Offshore Products which generated weaker margins due to the mix of projects completed and higher costs incurred. The Company experienced a $2.1 million year-over-year increase in SG&A expense in the fourth quarter of 2004, $1.0 million of which resulted from higher costs associated with Sarbanes Oxley compliance. The Company's effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2004 was 36.4% compared to an effective tax rate of 9.5% in the fourth quarter of 2003 which benefited from available net operating losses (NOL's) in prior periods. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2003 included the effects of a $1.2 million after-tax charge related to a debt refinancing completed in that period. Capital expenditures during the fourth quarter of 2004 totaled $21.9 million. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, Oil States reported record results, generating $59.4 million of net income, or $1.19 per diluted share, on revenues of $971.0 million and EBITDA of $132.1 million. For the 2003 fiscal year, the Company generated net income of $44.4 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, on revenues of $723.7 million and EBITDA of $94.1 million. This performance represents year-over-year increases in revenues and fully- diluted earnings per share of 34% and 32%, respectively. BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS Well Site Services Well Site Services generated strong earnings as activity in its major markets remained robust. Year-over year improvements in revenues and EBITDA were experienced in each business line within Well Site Services during the fourth quarter of 2004 such that revenues and EBITDA increased 31% and 57%, respectively, from the fourth quarter of 2003. For the fourth quarter of 2004, revenues and EBITDA from the Well Site Services segment were $88.5 million and $21.3 million, respectively, compared to $67.8 million of revenues and $13.6 million of EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2003. This year-over-year increase was primarily due to improved margins in the rental tools and accommodations businesses which benefited from capital investments and acquisitions completed over the past twelve months. Accommodations' revenues and EBITDA were up 29% and 58% due primarily to increased utilization, expanded capacity and economies of scale in the oil sands region of Canada. Land drilling's revenues and EBITDA were up 24% and 12%, respectively, from the fourth quarter of 2003 due to additional rig capacity and slightly higher cash margins as two incremental rigs were added in 2004 and the Company was able to moderately increase pricing. However, utilization suffered during the fourth quarter of 2004 due to 16 total days of downtime related to wet weather conditions, higher than normal holiday shutdowns and 19 days of repair downtime on one rig. Revenues and EBITDA from the rental tool business were up 59% and 106%, respectively, from the fourth quarter of 2003. Our rental tool operations grew through acquisitions, totaling $39.5 million in consideration, which were completed in the first and second quarters of 2004 and from deepwater tool investments made during 2004. Offshore Products Offshore Products reported revenues of $60.7 million and EBITDA of $4.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2004 compared to revenues of $57.8 million and EBITDA of $6.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2003. Offshore Products results were lower on a year-over-year basis due to lower margin projects in our activity mix in addition to costs and inefficiencies associated with the consolidation efforts at two major manufacturing facilities. These factors resulted in gross margin of 16.1% in the fourth quarter of 2004 compared to 21.0% in the fourth quarter of 2003. Backlog as of the end of 2004 was $97.5 million compared to $87.3 million at September 30, 2004 and $62.6 million at December 31, 2003. Tubular Services Tubular Services generated strong results in the fourth quarter of 2004 as a tight OCTG market environment and strong U.S. drilling activity drove results. Tubular Services generated $143.9 million of revenues and $12.7 million of EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2004 compared to $71.7 million of revenues and $2.1 million of EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2003. Gross margin was 10.4% compared to 5.6% in the fourth quarter of 2003. Tubular Services also benefited from increases in OCTG mill pricing during the 2004 quarter, contributions from the May 2004 Hunting acquisition and the overall year-over-year increase in drilling and completion activity, as the U.S. rig count increased 13% from the fourth quarter of 2003. OCTG shipments were 97,800 tons in the fourth quarter of 2004 compared to 81,700 tons shipped in the fourth quarter of 2003. The Company's OCTG inventory at December 31, 2004 was $123.6 million compared to $116.8 million at September 30, 2004 and $65.0 million at December 31, 2003. As of December 31, 2004, approximately 60% of Oil States' OCTG inventory was committed to customer orders. "Our fourth quarter results demonstrate the many growth opportunities which are afforded by the strength of our North American businesses and the diversity of our product and service offering," stated Douglas E. Swanson, Oil States' President and Chief Executive Officer. "Looking forward, our current expectations are for the first quarter of 2005 earnings to be up significantly from first quarter of 2004 due to seasonally strong Canadian winter drilling activity, continued strong U.S. drilling activity, contributions from acquisitions completed over the last twelve months and benefits from our expansionary capital investments, including investments made in support of activity in the oil sands region of Canada. In addition, Offshore Products and Tubular Services are expected to have improved first quarters on a year- over-year basis. Given these factors, we expect first quarter earnings will be within a range of $0.38 to $0.43 per diluted share and full year 2005 earnings within a range of $1.15 to $1.40 per diluted share." On January 31, 2005, the Company amended its existing revolving credit facility with its current group of lenders. Under the terms of the amendment, Oil States increased the facility to $325 million from $250 million and extended the term of the facility through January 2010. The amendment also adjusted several covenants and lowered borrowing rates across the pricing grid.

Forward-looking statements are those that do not state historical facts and are, therefore, inherently subject to risks and uncertainties.

(A) The term EBITDA consists of net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. You should not consider it in isolation from or as a substitute for net income or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company has included EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because its management believes that EBITDA provides useful information regarding our ability to service debt and to fund capital expenditures and provides investors a helpful measure for comparing its operating performance with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. The Company uses EBITDA to compare and to monitor the performance of its business segments to other comparable public companies and as a benchmark for the award of incentive compensation under its annual incentive compensation plan.
