         OIL STATES ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS OF $0.99 PER SHARE

    HOUSTON, Oct. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oil States International, Inc.
(NYSE: OIS) today reported net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2006
of $50.1 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, a year-over-year increase of over
65%. These results compare to $30.3 million, or $0.60 per diluted share,
reported in the third quarter of 2005. With continuing robust activity and
contributions from recent capital investments and acquisitions, Oil States
recognized year-over-year growth in revenues and EBITDA (defined as net income
plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) in the third quarter of
2006 of 22% and 47%, respectively.(A)

    The Company generated $479.5 million of revenues and $93.9 million of EBITDA
in the third quarter of 2006 compared to $394.1 million and $64.1 million,
respectively, in the third quarter of 2005. Significant increases in Offshore
Products' revenues and EBITDA coupled with year-over-year improvements in Well
Site Services contributed to the strong third quarter results. Well Site
Services reported greater revenues and EBITDA due to high levels of North
American drilling activity, capital investments made in the past year and
contributions from the acquisition of three drilling rigs in August 2006.
Offshore Products generated significantly improved revenues and EBITDA due to
the acceleration in deepwater development spending and related capital equipment
upgrades by its customers. In addition, Offshore Products' backlog continued to
improve, up 14% during the quarter to $321.2 million. Tubular Services reported
a year-over-year improvement in revenues due to increased U.S. drilling
activity. EBITDA for Tubular Services was lower than the prior year as a result
of lower gross margins. The Company recognized an effective tax rate of 34.1% in
the quarter compared to 36.9% in the third quarter of last year. During the
third quarter of 2006, the Company repurchased $7.0 million in common stock (at
an average price of $28.15 per share) under its current share repurchase program
and spent $47.6 million in capital expenditures.

    For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company reported net
income of $148.3 million, or $2.91 per diluted share, on revenues of $1.4
billion and EBITDA of $282.4 million. For the nine months ended September 30,
2005, the Company reported net income of $80.4 million, or $1.59 per diluted
share, on revenues of $1.1 billion and EBITDA of $170.2 million. This
performance represents year-over-year revenue and EBITDA increases of 33% and
66%, respectively. Net income in the first nine months of 2006 included the
recognition of a non-cash, pre-tax gain of $11.3 million, or an after-tax gain
of $0.12 per diluted share, on the sale of the Company's workover services
business to Boots & Coots International Well Control, Inc. (Amex: WEL). Capital
expenditures in the first nine months of 2006 totaled $104.6 million.

    BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

    (Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares the quarterly
results from the third quarter of 2006 to the results from the third quarter of
2005.)

    Well Site Services

    Well Site Services generated improved third quarter results due to the
upturn in North American activity year-over-year and contributions from $126.5
million of capital investments made over the past year, partially offset by the
sale of the hydraulic workover business completed in the first quarter of 2006.
For the third quarter of 2006, Well Site Services generated revenues of $154.4
million and EBITDA of $62.0 million compared to $141.5 million and $38.4
million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2005. Higher revenues in drilling
services and rental tools and improved margins in each of the Well Site Services
business lines contributed to the 9% year-over-year increase in revenues and 61%
increase in EBITDA. These results were partially offset by the conversion of the
Company's investment in its workover services business (which accounted for
$10.3 million in revenues and $2.1 million in EBITDA in the third quarter of
2005) to equity accounting with the sale of the business to Boots & Coots in
March 2006.



    For the third quarter of 2006, the accommodations business generated $64.0
million of revenues and $20.3 million of EBITDA compared to $67.2 million and
$13.0 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2005. Accommodations'
revenues were down slightly year-over-year due to decreased third-party
manufacturing work and lower international facility management revenues.
However, year-over-year EBITDA improved dramatically due to increased
contributions from higher margin camp rental and logistical services and
improved manufacturing margins from oil sands related camps manufactured for
third parties. The accommodations business also benefited from a 7%
strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar. During the third
quarter of 2006, rental equipment generated a 33% year-over-year increase in
revenues and a 58% increase in EBITDA primarily due to increased completion
activity in the U.S. and contribution from capital expenditures made over the
past year. Drilling reported revenues and EBITDA of $37.1 million and $18.6
million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2006 compared to $24.0 million of
revenues and $8.8 million of EBITDA in the third quarter 2005 due to improved
utilization, pricing, contract terms and rig fleet expansion. We have added six
rigs to the drilling rig fleet since August 15, 2005 including the acquisition
of three rigs in Texas in August 2006. As previously announced, the Company has
committed to build two fit-for-purpose drilling rigs to begin work in the
Rockies in mid-2007 under long term contracts with a large independent E&P
customer.

    Offshore Products

    During the third quarter of 2006, Offshore Products generated record
quarterly results, reporting $110.0 million of revenues and $19.1 million in
EBITDA compared to $64.3 million and $8.3 million, respectively, in the third
quarter of 2005. Gross margin percentage for the third quarter increased to 24%
from 22% in the third quarter of 2005 primarily due to increased activity and
fixed cost absorption in the majority of the Company's manufacturing locations,
increased revenues and gross profit contributions from each of its major product
lines, particularly in the rig and vessel equipment and subsea pipeline
businesses. Backlog topped second quarter record levels, reaching $321.2 million
at September 30, 2006 compared to $280.6 million at June 30, 2006 and $110.7
million as of December 31, 2005.

    Tubular Services

    Tubular Services reported revenues of $215.0 million and EBITDA of $17.3
million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to $188.3 million and $20.4
million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2005. Tubular Services' OCTG
shipments increased 15% to 120,000 tons from 104,100 tons in the third quarter
of 2005. Gross margins in the third quarter of 2006 declined to 9.1% from 12.3%
in the third quarter of 2005 because of relatively static OCTG mill pricing
since the third quarter of 2005 and a higher percentage of carbon OCTG sales.
The segment continued to see rising land based drilling activity, increasing our
lower margin carbon grade sales. The Company's OCTG inventory as of September
30, 2006 was $279.9 million compared to $269.8 million at June 30, 2006 and
$274.2 million as of December 31, 2005. As of September 30, 2006, approximately
64% of Oil States' OCTG inventory was committed to customer orders.

    "Oil States reported strong results in the third quarter of 2006 due
primarily to continued strength in Well Site Services and substantial growth in
Offshore Products," stated Douglas E. Swanson, Oil States' Chief Executive
Officer. "We continued to see higher North American drilling and completion
activity benefiting our Well Site Services and Tubular Services segments. In
addition, our third quarter results continued to demonstrate the importance of
our exposure to deepwater capital spending and Canadian oil sands development,
which benefited our Offshore Products and accommodations businesses. While there
is currently some concern regarding the short term impact on North American
activity due to high natural gas storage levels and reduced natural gas pricing,
we believe the long term fundamentals remain intact. Fourth quarter activity
could see softness in Canada and certain regions of the United States due to the
impact of lower natural gas prices on customer spending coupled with holiday and
year-end shutdowns. As a result, our current expectation for fourth quarter 2006
earnings is in a range of $0.87 to $0.92 per diluted share."

(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.

(B)  As of September 30, 2006, the Company had approximately $90.7 million
     available under its revolving credit facility.

(C)  Includes results for the workover services business, which was sold to
     Boots & Coots International Well Control, Inc., subsequent to March 1,
     2006.

(D)  Includes the $11.3 million non-cash, pre-tax gain from the sale of the
     workover services business to Boots & Coots International Well Control,
     Inc.
