                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.

    The Company is in the process of drafting its Form 10-K, and it expects to
file the Form 10-K in March 2005. As a result, the financial information
contained herein should be considered preliminary until such time as the Company
receives its financial audit and internal control audit reports from its
external auditors and files its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

    The foregoing contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Forward-looking statements are those that do not state historical facts and are,
therefore, inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking
statements included herein are based on current expectations and entail various
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include,
among other things, risks associated with the general nature of the oilfield
service industry and other factors discussed within the "Business" section of
the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 filed by Oil States with the
SEC on March 5, 2004.

     (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.
