========== ======== ========
Influence of Oil and Gas Activity Levels on the Company's Business
The oil and gas industry in which the Company participates has historically
experienced significant volatility. Demand for the Company's services and
products depends primarily upon the general level of activity in the oil and
gas industry worldwide, including the number of drilling rigs in operation, the
number of oil and gas wells being drilled, the depth and drilling conditions of
these wells, the volume of production, the number of well completions and the
level of well workover activity. Oil and gas activity is heavily influenced by,
among other factors, oil and gas prices worldwide. High levels of drilling and
well-remediation activity spur direct demand for the Company's products and
services used to drill and remediate oil and gas wells, particularly in Tubular
Services and Drilling Services. Additionally, high levels of oil and gas
activity increase cash flows for drilling contractors and well-remediation
oilfield service contractors to reinvest in capital equipment which the Company
sells through its Drilling Equipment Sales and Coiled Tubing & Wireline
Products groups.
Drilling and workover activity can fluctuate significantly in a short period
of time, particularly in the United States and Canada. The willingness of oil
and gas operators to make capital expenditures to explore for and produce oil
and natural gas will continue to be influenced by numerous factors over which
the Company has no control, including: the ability of the members of the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to maintain oil price stability
through voluntary production limits of oil; the level of oil production by
non-OPEC countries; worldwide demand for oil; the supply and demand for natural
gas; general economic and political conditions; costs of exploration and
production; and the availability of new leases and concessions and governmental
regulations regarding, among other things, environmental protection, taxation,
price controls and product allocations.
Low petroleum prices adversely affected the Company's business in the second
half of 1998 and throughout 1999 as drilling and well remediation activity
declined. The Company's overall revenues grew in 1998, but declined steadily
through 1999 and 2000 as the Company completed orders for Drilling Equipment
Sales placed in 1997 and early 1998. Strengthening oil and gas prices in late
1999 and 2000 led to recoveries in the Company's Tubular Services and Drilling
Services groups as drilling and well remediation activity rose during the
period. Drilling Equipment Sales and Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products revenues
began to rise in late 2000 as drilling contractors and well service companies
began to invest in new capital equipment following the higher levels of
oilfield activity in 2000. Drilling activity began to decline in mid-2001 due
to lower oil and gas prices. The Company's Drilling Services and Tubular
Services revenue began to decline in late 2001, and backlog levels for the
Company's Drilling Equipment Sales and Coiled Tubing Wireline Products
divisions also began to decline in late 2001, as a result.
The Drilling Process
Oil and gas wells are usually drilled by a drilling rig using a bit attached
to the end of drill stem made up of 30-foot joints of drill pipe. Using the
conventional rotary drilling method, the drill stem is turned from the rotary
table in the floor of the drilling rig by torque applied to the "kelly" (a
square or hexagonal section of pipe located at the top of the drill stem) by
means of the master bushing and kelly bushing. During the drilling process heavy
2
fluids ("drilling muds") are pumped down through the drill stem and forced out
through the bit. The drilling mud returns to the surface through the hole area
surrounding the drill stem, carrying with it the cuttings drilled out by other
specialized equipment. The cuttings are removed from the mud by a solids
control system (which can include shakers, centrifuges and disposed of in an
environmentally sound manner. The solids control system permits the mud to be
continuously recirculated back into the hole. The drilling mud also serves to
contain pressure surges of gas, oil or water ("kicks") that may intrude into
the borehole from the formation. Corrosive fluids may be in the formation or in
materials used in the drilling process. Accordingly, it is prudent for
operators to protect expensive drill stem from such corrosive fluids, and to
inspect and assess the integrity of the drill pipe from time to time.
As the hole depth increases, the kelly must be removed frequently so that
additional 30-foot joints of pipe can be added to the drill stem, which may be
assembled into lengths in excess of six miles. When the bit becomes dull, the
entire drill stem is pulled out of the hole and disassembled, the disconnected
sections of pipe are set aside or "racked," the old bit is replaced and the
drill stem is reassembled and lowered back into the hole (a process called
"tripping"). During drilling and tripping operations, tool joints must be
screwed together and tightened ("spun in" and "made up"), and loosened and
unscrewed ("broken out" and "spun out"). When the hole has reached certain
depths, all of the drill pipe is pulled out of the hole and larger diameter
pipe known as casing is lowered into the hole and cemented in place in order to
protect against collapse and contamination of the hole. The integrity of the
casing is typically assessed before it is lowered into the hole.
The raising and lowering of the drill stem while drilling or tripping, and
the lowering of casing into the well bore, are accomplished with the rig's
hoisting system. A conventional hoisting system is a block and tackle
mechanism, and the drilling rigs derrick must have sufficient structural
integrity to support the entire weight of the drill stem or casing string.
During the drilling process it is possible for formation fluids, such as
natural gas, water or oil, to get into the wellbore, creating additional
pressure which, if not controlled, could lead to a "blowout" of the well. To
prevent blowouts, a series of high-pressure valves known as blowout preventers
("BOPs") are positioned at the top of the well and, when activated, form
pressure tight seals which prevent the escape of fluids. When closed,
conventional BOPs prevent normal rig operations and are activated only if
drilling mud and normal well control procedures cannot safely contain the
pressure. BOPs have been designed to contain pressure of up to 15,000 psi.
After the well has reached its total depth and the final section of casing
has been set, the drilling rig is moved off of the well and the well is
prepared to begin producing oil or gas in a process known as "well completion."
Well completion usually involves running production tubing concentrically in
the casing. Due to the corrosive nature of many produced fluids, this
production tubing is often coated, or constructed of corrosion resistant
composite materials. From time to time, a producing well may undergo workover
procedures to extend its life and increase its production rate. Frequently
coiled tubing units or wireline units are used to accomplish certain
stimulations or completion of operations on wells. Coiled tubing is a recent
advancement in petroleum technology consisting of a continuous length of reeled
tubing which can be injected concentrically into the production tubing all the
way to the bottom of most wells. It permits many operations to be performed
without disassembling the production tubing, and without curtailing the
production of the well.
Drilling Equipment Sales Group
The Company has a long tradition of pioneering innovations such as the top
drive and automatic pipe handling systems which improve the efficiency, safety,
and cost of drilling operations. The Drilling Equipment Sales group designs,
manufactures and sells a wide variety of top drives, automated pipe racking
systems, motion compensation systems, rig controls, blow-out preventors,
handling tools, drawworks, risers, rotary tables, and other drilling equipment
for both the onshore and offshore markets, and is a leader in the development
of innovative drilling systems. Based on its supply of drilling equipment for
most of the newly-constructed harsh environment offshore drilling rigs over the
past few years, the Company believes it is the worldwide market
3
leader in several of these product categories. During 2001, the Company also
emphasized the land rig market and as a result saw a larger portion of its
drilling equipment sales business related to onshore drilling rigs. The
Drilling Equipment Sales group sells directly to drilling contractors and oil
companies. Demand for its products, several of which are described below, is
strongly dependent upon capital spending plans by oil and gas companies and
drilling contractors.
Top Drives. The Top Drive Drilling System ("TDS"), originally introduced by
Varco in 1982, significantly alters the traditional drilling process. Using the
TDS, the drill stem is rotated from its top by means of a large electric motor.
This motor is affixed to rails installed in the derrick and traverses from near
the top of the derrick to the rig floor as the drill stem penetrates the earth.
Therefore, the TDS eliminates the use of the conventional rotary table for
drilling. Components of the TDS also are used to connect additional lengths of
pipe to the drill stem during drilling operations.
The TDS combines elements of pipe handling tools, as well as hoisting and
rotary equipment, in a single system. During drilling operations, elements of
the TDS perform functions such as spinning-in and making-up tool joints. It
also incorporates a drill pipe elevator, providing the capability to maneuver a
stand of pipe into position to be added to the drill string when drilling, or
to hold and hoist the entire drill stem. Drilling with a TDS provides several
advantages over conventional drilling. It enables drilling with three joints of
drill pipe, often reducing by two-thirds the time spent in making connections
of drill pipe. In addition it facilitates "horizontal" and "extended reach"
drilling (the practice of drilling wells which deviate substantially from the
vertical) by providing the ability to rotate the pipe as it is removed from, or
replaced into, the hole, thus reducing friction and the incidence of pipe
sticking. This can often dramatically reduce drilling "trouble costs". The TDS
can also increases the safety of drilling operations.
The TDS has demonstrated substantial economic advantages. Users of the
system report reductions in drilling time ranging up to 40%. By facilitating
extended reach drilling, the TDS increases the area which can be drilled from a
given location, such as a fixed platform or man-made island. Thus, the
production from a given reservoir of oil can be increased, and the number of
costly fixed platforms required to develop the field can be minimized. The TDS
has evolved continuously since its initial introduction. Today, the Company's
top drive product line includes several models, each designed to satisfy
specific customer requirements.
Pipe Racking Systems. Pipe racking systems are used to handle drill pipe,
casing, tubing and other types of pipe (collectively, "tubulars") on a drilling
rig. Vertical pipe racking systems move drill pipe and casing between the well
and a storage ("racking") area on the rig floor. Horizontal racking systems are
used to handle tubulars while stored horizontally (for example, on the pipe
deck of an offshore rig) and transport it up to the rig floor and raise it to a
vertical position from which it may be passed to a vertical racking system.
Mechanical vertical pipe racking systems greatly reduce the manual effort
involved in pipe handling. The Pipe Handling Machine ("PHM"), introduced by
Varco in 1985, provides a fully automated mechanism for handling and racking of
drill pipe and drill collars during drilling and tripping operations. It
incorporates the spinning and torquing functions of the Automated Roughneck
with the automatic hoisting and racking of disconnected joints of pipe. These
functions are integrated via computer controlled sequencing, and the Pipe
Handling Machine is operated by a person in an environmentally secure cabin.
The Automated Roughneck is an automated microprocessor-controlled version of
the Iron Roughneck, which was originally introduced by Varco in 1976.
Vertical pipe racking systems are used predominantly on offshore rigs and
are found on almost all floating rigs. Horizontal pipe racking systems were
introduced by Varco in 1993. They include the Pipe Deck Machine ("PDM"), which
is used to manipulate and move tubulars while stored in a horizontal position;
the Pipe Transfer Conveyor ("PTC"), which transports sections of pipe to the
rig floor; and a Pickup Laydown System ("PLS"), which raises the pipe to a
vertical position for transfer to a vertical racking system. These components
may be employed separately, or incorporated together to form a complete
horizontal racking system, known as the Pipe Transfer System ("PTS").
4
Hoisting systems are used to raise or lower the drill stem while drilling or
tripping, and the lowering of casing into the well bore. During 1999, Varco
introduced its first "Automated Hoisting System" ("AHS"), which uses an
AC-powered motor and a braking system that offers precise proportional control.
The AHS automates the repetitive hoisting and drilling operations through
user-friendly, touch-screen Electronic Driller interface. The AHS is smaller
and lighter than conventional hoisting systems. The Company received its first
order for an AHS in 2000 and delivered the first AHS in 2001.
Blow-out Preventers. BOPs are devices used to seal the space ("annulus")
between the drill pipe and the borehole to prevent an uncontrolled flow of
formation fluids and gases. The Drilling Equipment Sales group manufactures
three types of BOPs under the Shaffer brandname. Ram and annular BOPs are
back-up devices and are activated only if other techniques for controlling
pressure in the well bore are inadequate. When closed, these devices prevent
normal rig operations. Ram BOPs seal the wellbore by hydraulically closing rams
against each other across the wellbore. Specially designed packers seal around
specific sizes of pipe in the wellbore, shear pipe in the wellbore or close off
an open hole. Annular BOPs seal the wellbore by hydraulically closing a rubber
packing unit around the drill pipe or kelly or by sealing against itself if
nothing is in the hole. The rotating BOP allows operators to drill or strip
into or out of the well at low pressures without interrupting normal operations.
Varco expanded its BOP line in 1995 with the introduction of a system for
achieving Pressure Control While Drilling (PCWD(R)). This new BOP allows normal
drilling operations to proceed while controlling pressures up to 2,000 psi, and
will operate as a normal spherical BOP at pressures up to 5,000 psi.
In 1998 Varco introduced the NXT(R) ram type BOP which eliminates door
bolts, providing weight and space savings. Its unique features make subsea
operation more efficient through faster ram configuration changes without
tripping the stack.
The Company sells conventional BOP control systems under the registered
trademark Koomey(R). The Koomey control system is hydraulically activated and
is used to operate BOPs and associated valves remotely for both land systems
and offshore systems. With the recent increase in deep-water drilling depths,
traditional hydraulic control systems are inadequate to activate BOPs, which
rest on the ocean floor and may be 5,000 feet or more below the surface. In
1997, Varco introduced the IVth Generation MUX, an electronic control system
designed specifically for deep-water applications. In 2001, the Company
acquired technology from Maris International related to a continuous
circulation device the Company hopes to commercialize.
Motion Compensation Systems. The Drilling Equipment Sales group sells
motion compensation equipment under the registered trademark Rucker(TM). Motion
compensation equipment stabilizes the bit on the bottom of the hole, increasing
drilling effectiveness of floating offshore rigs by compensating for wave and
wind action. This group also manufactures tensioners, which provide continuous
reliable axial tension to the marine riser pipe (larger diameter pipe which
connects floating drilling rigs to the well on the ocean floor) and guide lines
on floating drilling rigs, tension leg platforms and jack-up rigs. An important
product extension in 1996 was the Riser Recoil System, which provides a safe
disconnect when the floating rig encounters an unanticipated need to leave
location.
Pipe Handling Tools. The Company's pipe handling tools are designed to
enhance the safety, efficiency and reliability of pipe handling operations.
Many of these tools have provided innovative methods of performing the
designated task through mechanization of functions previously performed
manually. The Drilling Equipment Sales group manufactures various tools used to
grip, hold, raise, and lower pipe, and in the making up and breaking out of
drill pipe, workstrings, casing, and production tubulars including spinning
wrenches, manual tongs, torque wrenches and kelly spinners. The spinning wrench
is a tool used to screw together and unscrew joints of drill pipe. Manual tongs
are used to make up or break out tool joints, while the torque wrench is a
hydraulically powered device which performs this function with enhanced safety
and precision. The kelly spinner is a pneumatically or hydraulically powered
tool used to connect and disconnect the kelly to and from the drill stem as
additional lengths of pipe are added while drilling.
5
The Drilling Equipment Sales group also manufactures other tools used in
various pipe handling functions. Slips are gripping devices which hold pipe or
casing in suspension while in the hole, and they may be either manual, spring
or hydraulically operated. Other products, which include safety clamps, casing
bushings and casing bowls, are used to hold and guide drill pipe or casing
while in the hole.
Rotary Equipment. Rotary equipment products consist of kelly bushings and
master bushings. The kelly bushing applies torque to the kelly to rotate the
drill stem and fits in the master bushing which is turned by the rotary table
on the floor of the rig. The Drilling Equipment Sales group produces kelly
bushings and master bushings for most sizes of kellys and makes of rotary
tables.
In 1998, Varco introduced the Rotary Support Table for use on rigs with Top
Drive Drilling Systems. The Rotary Support Table is used in concert with the
TDS to completely eliminate the need for the larger conventional rotary table.
Rig Controls. Drilling consoles, and recently, the V-ICIS(TM), are
typically sold as an integral part of a new rig, or as a major upgrade
component for an existing rig. In the United States and Canada, most other
drilling instrumentation products are usually rented to the drilling contractor
or oil company when necessary, and are therefore not permanently installed on
the rig. The Company rents this type of equipment within its Drilling Services
group. Internationally, nearly all Instrumentation Equipment is sold to the rig
owner and becomes a permanent part of the drilling rig.
A significant portion of the sales of Drilling Equipment Sales is in spare
and replacement parts. The Company conducts Drilling Equipment manufacturing
operations at facilities across North America and Europe, and maintains sales
and service offices in most major oilfield markets. The Company expanded its
market presence in Norway when it acquired its agent, Scana IOS Desco AS, in
December 2000.
Derricks and substructures. The Company began offering design, fabrication
and repair services for derricks and substructures through its acquisition of
Morinoak International Ltd. in September 2001. Through Morinoak International,
the Company operates engineering and fabrication facilities in Great Yarmouth,
England and Aberdeen, Scotland. Morinoak's service offerings include
modification of existing drilling rigs to accept top drives and pipe handling
equipment. It also refurbishes, repairs and fabricates structural components
from both land and offshore rigs.
The products of the Drilling Equipment Sales group are sold in highly
competitive markets and its sales and earnings can be affected by competitive
actions such as price changes, new product development or improved availability
and delivery. The group's primary competitors are Hydralift AS, a Norwegian
company, National-Oilwell, Inc., Cooper Cameron Corporation, Hydril Company,
Stewart and Stevenson Service, Inc., DenCon Oil Tools, Weatherford
International, Inc., Aker Maritime AS, Tesco Corporation, and Canrig, a
division of Nabors Industries.
Tubular Services Group
The Company is a leading provider of a variety of tubular services to oil
and gas producers, drilling contractors, well-remediation contractors, pipeline
operators, and tubular manufacturers and distributors. The Tubular Services
group provides tubular inspection services for drillpipe, casing, production
tubing, and line pipe at drilling and workover rig locations, at pipe yards
owned by its customers, at steel mills and processing facilities manufacturing
tubular goods, and at pipe yard facilities which it owns. This group also
provides for the internal coating of tubular goods at coating plants worldwide,
including a plant opened in Navasota, Texas in 1998, and through licensees in
certain locations. The Company operated 11 tubular coating plants worldwide in
2001, and opened a twelth coating plant in the Far East in early 2002. The
Company believes it is the leading provider of oil country tubular goods
inspection and internal tubular coating services worldwide. Additionally, the
Company designs, manufactures and sells high pressure fiberglass tubulars for
use in corrosive applications.
6
The Tubular Services group also provides in-place inspection of oil, gas and
product transmission pipelines through its application of instrumented survey
tools ("smart pigs") which it engineers, manufactures and operates.
The Company's customers rely on tubular inspection services to avoid failure
of tubing, casing, flowlines, pipelines and drillpipe. Such tubular failures
are expensive and in some cases catastrophic. The Company's customers rely on
internal coatings of tubular goods to prolong the useful lives of tubulars and
to increase the volumetric throughput of in-service tubular goods. The
Company's customers sometimes use fiberglass tubulars in lieu of conventional
steel tubulars, due to the corrosion-resistant properties of fiberglass.
Tubular inspection and coating services, and fiberglass tubulars, are used most
frequently in operations in high-temperature, deep, corrosive oil and gas
environments. In selecting a provider of tubular inspection and tubular coating
services, oil and gas operators consider such factors as reputation,
experience, technology of products offered, reliability and price. Following
its December 2000 acquisition of the assets of Smith Fiberglass Products and
its 2001 acquisition of the assets of Fibercast, the Company believes it is now
the largest provider of fiberglass tubulars to oilfield applications worldwide.
Tubular Corrosion Control. The Company develops, manufactures and applies
its proprietary tubular coatings, known as Tube-Kote(R) coatings, to new and
used tubulars. Tubular coatings help prevent corrosion of tubulars by providing
a tough plastic shield to isolate steel from corrosive oilfield fluids such as
CO2, H2S and brine. Delaying or preventing corrosion extends the life of
existing tubulars, reduces the frequency of well remediation and reduces
expensive interruptions in production for oil and gas producers. In addition,
coatings are designed to increase the fluid flow through tubulars by decreasing
or eliminating paraffin and scale build-up, which can reduce or block oil flow
in producing wells. The smooth inner surfaces of coated tubulars often increase
the fluid through-put on certain high-rate oil and gas wells.
The Company has a history of introducing new coating products that are
custom-engineered to address increasingly corrosive environments encountered in
oil and gas drilling and production operations. In 1998, the Company introduced
TK(R)Liner, a fiberglass liner product which offers the strength of steel
tubing and the corrosion resistance of fiberglass, and which supplements its
traditional plastic coating lines. The Company's reputation for supplying
quality internal coatings is an important factor in its business, since the
failure of coatings can lead to expensive production delays and premature
tubular failure.
In 1997, the Company acquired Fiber Glass Systems, a leading provider of
high pressure fiberglass tubulars used in oilfield applications. Fiber Glass
Systems has manufactured fiberglass pipe since 1968 under the name "Star(R),"
and was the first manufacturer of high-pressure fiberglass pipe to be licensed
by the API in 1992. The Company acquired two fiberglass tubing manufacturing
facilities in the U.S. and one in China from A.O. Smith in December 2000 and
acquired another U.S. fiberglass tubing manufacturing facility from Fibercast
in July 2001, which significantly expanded its manufacturing capabilities and
product lines. Like coated tubulars, fiberglass pipe is used to guard against
corrosive fluids produced in the oilfield and for use in other corrosive
industrial applications.
Tubular Inspection. Newly manufactured pipe sometimes contains serious
defects that are not detected at the mill. In addition, pipe can be damaged in
transit and during handling prior to use at the well site. As a result,
exploration and production companies often have new tubulars inspected before
they are placed in service to reduce the risk of tubular failures during
drilling, completion, or production of oil and gas wells. Used tubulars are
inspected by the Company to detect service-induced flaws after the tubulars are
removed from operation. Used drill pipe and used tubing inspection programs
allow operators to replace defective lengths, thereby prolonging the life of
the remaining pipe and saving the customer the cost of unnecessary tubular
replacements and expenses related to tubular failures.
The Tubular Services group's tubular inspection services employ all major
non-destructive inspection techniques, including electromagnetic, ultrasonic,
magnetic flux leakage and gamma ray. These inspection
7
services are provided both by mobile units which work at the wellhead as used
tubing is removed from a well, and at fixed site tubular inspection locations.
The group provides an ultrasonic inspection service for detecting potential
fatigue cracks in the end area of used drill pipe, the portion of the pipe that
traditionally has been the most difficult to inspect. Tubular inspection
facilities also offer a wide range of related services, such as API thread
inspection, ring and plug gauging, and a complete line of reclamation services
necessary to return tubulars to useful service, including tubular cleaning and
straightening, hydrostatic testing and re-threading.
In 1998, the Company acquired three tubular services businesses to enhance
its competitive positions in Norway, Egypt, and the west coast of the United
States. Additionally, these acquisitions provided opportunities to achieve
consolidation cost savings. In 1999, the Company completed acquisitions of
Geo-Ray Oilfield Inspections Ltd. in Canada, and the tubular services business
of AGR Services AS in Floro, Norway. In 2001, it acquired the assets of Servizi
Ispettiv, a small tubular services business in Italy, and in early 2002, it
acquired the assets of A&A Tubular Inspection in California.
In addition to its new and used tubular inspection and reclamation services,
the Company also offers a comprehensive proprietary tubular inventory
management system (TDS/TM/) which permits the real-time tracking of customer's
tubular inventories within the Company's facilities. The system permits
customers to remotely access and monitor tubular inspection and coating
progress.
The Company has pioneered many tubular inspection technologies used in the
oilfield, and continues to expand its product offering through innovation and
acquisition. In 1996, the Company installed its first proprietary high-speed
full-body ultrasonic tubular inspection unit (Truscope(R)). The new service
provides 100% ultrasonic coverage of tubulars at a rate of up to 200 feet per
minute. In 1997, the Company began offering a proprietary, patented external
tubular connection integrity test, the ISO-Gator,/TM/ for use at the rig site.
The technology was obtained through the Company's acquisition of the operating
assets of Gator Hawk, Inc. In 1998, the Company introduced a new coiled tubing
inspection service with its electromagnetic CT Scope(R).
Mill Systems and Sales. The Company engineers and fabricates inspection
equipment for steel mills, which it sells and rents. The equipment is operated
by steel mills and is used for quality control purposes to detect transverse,
longitudinal and three-dimensional defects in the pipe during the high-speed
manufacturing process. Each piece of mill inspection equipment is designed to
customer specifications and is installed and serviced by the Company. Since
1962, the Company has installed more than 80 units worldwide, in most major
steel mills. Equipment is manufactured at the Company's Houston, Texas and
Celle, Germany facilities. Revenue for Mill Systems and Sales fluctuates
significantly from year to year due to the timing of negotiating large domestic
and export sales contracts, arranging financing and manufacturing equipment.
Pipeline Inspection. In-place inspection services for oil and gas pipelines
identify anomalies in the pipelines without removing or dismantling the
pipelines or stopping the product flow, giving customers a convenient and
cost-effective method of identifying potential defects in pipelines. The
Tubular Services group inspects pipelines by launching a sophisticated survey
instrument into the pipeline. Propelled by the product flow, the instrument
uses electromagnetics, ultrasonics, and mechanical measurements received on
digital and analog media to monitor the severity and location of internal and
external pitting-type corrosion as well as other mechanical anomalies in the
pipeline, providing a basis for evaluation and repair by the customer. Once the
test is complete, the survey instrument is returned to the Company, refurbished
and used for future pipeline inspections.
Management believes the major competitive factors for Pipeline Services are
reputation for quality, service, reliability of obtaining a successful survey
on the first run, product technology, price, and technical support on survey
interpretation. Demand for the Company's pipeline services is somewhat
dependent on commodity prices, which affects funds available for discretionary
pipeline inspection and maintenance expenditures by many pipeline operators.
This dependence is most pronounced in international markets. Additionally,
significant consolidation in the pipeline industry has caused many pipeline
operators to defer inspections in recent years as
8
they re-evaluate their pipeline maintenance programs following mergers and
acquisitions. Management believes there are growth opportunities for the
Company's Pipeline Services due to the aging of the worldwide pipeline network,
and construction of new pipelines. U.S. regulatory inspection requirements and
an extensive pipeline infrastructure in Eastern Europe are additional industry
factors expected to contribute to the growth of the Company's Pipeline
Services. Catastrophic pipeline failures in the U.S. in recent years have
prompted regulators to require more stringent pipeline inspection, which may
increase the demand for the pipeline inspection services. Additionally,
management believes that the Company's new digital TruRes(R) inspection
technology and other new software and survey products will provide growth
opportunities. The TruRes(R) technology applies advanced digital computer
technology and other advancements within the body of the inspection tool to
provide greater measurement sampling density and pipe-body coverage. In 2001,
the Company acquired certain assets of Geodz, Inc., a software engineering
firm, to enhance its pipeline position survey software.
The Tubular Services group's customers include almost all major oil and gas
companies, large and small independent producers, national oil companies,
drilling contractors, oilfield supply stores, pipeline operators and steel
mills. The Company's competitors in Tubular Services include, among others, ICO
Inc., Ameron International Corp, Pipeline Integrity International Ltd., and
ShawCor Ltd. In addition, the Tubular Services group competes with a number of
smaller regional competitors in tubular inspection. Certain foreign
jurisdictions and government-owned petroleum companies located in some of the
countries in which this group operates have adopted policies or regulations
which may give local nationals in these countries certain competitive
advantages. Within the Company's corrosion control products, certain
substitutes such as non-metallic tubulars, inhibitors, corrosion resistant
alloys, cathodic protection systems, and non-metallic liner systems also
compete with the Company's products.
Drilling Services Group
The Company's Drilling Services group is engaged in the provision of
highly-engineered equipment, products and services which separate and manage
drill cuttings produced by the drilling process ("Solids Control Services").
Drill cuttings are usually contaminated with petroleum or drilling fluids, and
must be disposed of in an environmentally sound manner. Additionally, efficient
separation of drill cuttings enhances the drilling effectiveness of the
drilling fluids for re-use. The Company believes it's Brandt (R) business is
the market leader in the provision of solids control services to the oil and
gas drilling industry worldwide. The Drilling Services group also rents and
sells proprietary drilling rig instrumentation packages which monitor various
processes throughout the drilling operation, under the name MD/Totco. The
group's rig instrumentation packages collect and analyze data through both
analog and digital media, enabling rig personnel to maintain safe and efficient
drilling operations. The Company believes it is the largest provider of
drilling rig instrumentation packages worldwide.
Solids Control. The Drilling Services Group uses a variety of technologies
to separate drill cuttings from drilling fluid, and to further transport, dry
and refine drill cuttings for safe disposal. The Company believes the
regulatory and industry trend towards minimizing the environmental impact of
drilling operations in a number of environmentally sensitive oil and gas
productive regions will lead to greater demand for solids control products and
closed loop drilling systems. The Company further believes the trend towards
more technically complex drilling, including highly deviated directional wells
and slim-hole completions, will favorably impact the demand for solid controls
technology because of its ability to reduce costly downhole problems. As
environmental constraints are increased and as awareness of environmental
protection grows, the Company believes that its drill cuttings separation and
treating processes will find increased demand.
The Company has a history of introducing new solids control products and
services obtained both through its internal development and through acquiring
or licensing technologies from others. The Company acquired the Gumbo Chain
from Nu-Tec, Inc. in 1997, a product to remove sticky shale or "gumbo," which
is encountered in certain geologic environments, from drilling fluid. In 1998,
the Company initiated operations with a proprietary unit which removes
hydrocarbons from drill cuttings using heat, a process called "Thermal
Desorption". The processed cuttings are rendered inert and can be disposed of
with minimal environmental impact. The Company
9
commenced operation of a second drill cuttings thermal desorption unit in the
first quarter of 1999 and expects to commence operations on its third unit in
2002. The Company began offering the VSM 300 shale shaker, a high performance,
high priced machine, in 1996. The VSM 300 was the first shale shaker which
offered a balanced elliptical vibratory motion, which improves cuttings
conveyance and reduces oil on cuttings. The Company also introduced its new
Cobra(R) shale shaker in 1998. The Cobra(R) has a small footprint and a
lightweight design, and is priced to compete in the more price-sensitive
segment of the market. The Company began offering the King Cobra shale shaker
in 1999. The King Cobra is approximately one third larger than the Cobra
Shaker, and also targets the price sensitive segment of the drilling market.
The Company acquired M.S.D. Inc. in 1998 in order to enhance its cuttings
slurrification and injection capabilities. In 1999, the Company acquired
Manufacturas Rowi, C.A. (Rowica), a Venezuelan solids control company, and the
solids control assets of Newpark Resources, Inc. ("Newpark"). In early 2001,
the Company acquired certain assets of Angelle Construction, Inc. to enhance
its cuttings transport technologies.
The Drilling Services group manufactures conventional and linear motion
shale shakers, high speed and conventional centrifuges, desanders, desilters,
screens, degassers and closed loop drilling fluids systems at its facilities in
Conroe, Texas; Houston, Texas; and Aberdeen, Scotland. The group markets solids
control equipment under the Brandt(R) brand name. For the year ended December
31, 2001, approximately 42% of the Drilling Services group's solids control
equipment revenue was generated from the sale of solids control equipment and
inventory, and approximately 58% of such revenue was generated from rentals and
services.
In 1999, the Company entered into an alliance agreement with Newpark under
which the Company, subject to certain conditions, became the exclusive provider
of Solids Control Products and Services to Newpark in the United States. The
alliance agreement further provides that Newpark, subject to certain
conditions, is the exclusive provider of oilfield waste services to the Company
in the Gulf Coast market.
Drilling Rig Instrumentation. The Drilling Services group's rig
instrumentation systems provide drilling rig operators real time measurement
and monitoring of critical parameters required to improve rig safety and
efficiency. Systems are typically comprised of several sensors placed
throughout the rig to measure parameters such as weight on bit, hookload,
standpipe pressures, mud pump strokes, drilling mud levels, torque, and others,
all networked back to a central command station for review, recording and
interpretation. Additionally, the rig instrumentation packages typically
provide multiple CRT screens around the rig for various rig personnel to
perform individual jobs more effectively, and cameras for certain areas to
permit remote monitoring. The Company offers proprietary touch-screen displays,
interpretive software, and data archival and retrieval capabilities. In 1999,
the Company introduced its RigSense (TM) product, which combined leading
hardware and software technologies into an integrated drilling rig package. It
recently completed a successful test to permit access of drilling data from
offsite locations, which will enable company personnel to monitor drilling
operations from an office environment, through a secure link. In 2001, the
Company completed the acquisitions of Chimo Equipment Ltd. in Canada; Alberta
Instruments Ltd. in Canada; Adair Supply & Rentals, Inc. in Corpus Christi, TX;
and Wagner Instrumentation Inc. in Houston, TX; which were all engaged in
drilling rig instrumentation business.
The group's customers for Drilling Services include almost all major oil and
gas companies, large and small independent producers, national oil companies,
and drilling contractors. Competitors in Drilling Services include Smith
International ("SWACO"); Derrick Manufacturing Corp.; Oil Tools Pte. Ltd;
National Oilwell Inc.; Petron Industries, Inc.; Epoch, a division of Nabors
Industries; Pason Systems, Inc., a Canadian company and a number of regional
competitors. The Company's Drilling Services group operates in highly
competitive markets. Management believes that on-site service is becoming an
increasingly important competitive element in the Drilling Services market.
Management believes that, in addition to on-site services, the principal
competitive factors affecting its Drilling Services business are performance,
quality, reputation, customer service, product availability, breadth of product
line and price.

Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products Group
The Company's Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products group sells capital
equipment and consumables to most of the major oilfield coiled tubing and
wireline remediation and drilling service providers. The Company believes it is
the world's leading designer and manufacturer of coiled tubing units, coiled
tubing and wireline pressure control equipment, and wireline units used in oil
and gas well remediation, completion and drilling operations. The Company,
through its January 2001 acquisition of Quality Tubing, Inc., also manufactures
steel coiled tubing used by well remediation contractors and oil and gas
producers. The Company believes it is the second largest producer of coiled
tubing worldwide. Demand for the group's Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products is
strongly dependent upon the capital spending plans of coiled tubing and
wireline service companies, and the general level of well remediation activity.
Coiled Tubing Products. Coiled tubing consists of flexible steel tubing
manufactured in a continuous string and spooled on a reel. It can extend
several thousand feet in length and is run in and out of the well bore at a
high rate of speed by a hydraulically operated coiled tubing unit. A coiled
tubing unit is typically mounted on a truck or skid and consists of a
hydraulically operated tubing reel or drum, an injector head which pushes or
pulls the tubing in or out of the well bore, and various power and control
systems. Coiled tubing is typically used with sophisticated pressure control
equipment which permits the operator to continue to safely produce the well.
The Coiled Tubing and Wireline Products group manufactures and sells both
coiled tubing units and the ancillary pressure control equipment used in these
operations.
Coiled tubing provides a number of significant functional advantages over
the principal alternatives of conventional drillpipe and workover pipe. Coiled
tubing allows faster "tripping," since the coiled tubing can be reeled very
quickly on and off a drum and in and out of a well bore. In addition, the small
size of the coiled tubing unit compared to an average workover rig reduces
preparation time at the well site. Coiled tubing permits a variety of workover
and other operations to be performed without having to pull the existing
production tubing from the well and allows ease of operation in horizontal or
highly deviated wells. Thus, operations using coiled tubing can be performed
much more quickly and, in many instances, at a significantly lower cost.
Finally, use of coiled tubing generally allows continuous production of the
well, eliminating the need to temporarily stop the flow of hydrocarbons. As a
result, the economics of a workover are improved because the well can continue
to produce hydrocarbons and thus produce revenues while the well treatments are
occurring. Continuous production also reduces the risk of formation damage
which can occur when the well is "shut in."
Currently, most coiled tubing units are used in well remediation and
completion applications. The Company believes that advances in the
manufacturing process of coiled tubing, tubing fatigue protection and the
capability to manufacture larger diameter and increased wall thickness coiled
tubing strings have resulted in increased uses and applications for coiled
tubing products. For example, well operators are now using coiled tubing in
drilling applications such as slim hole reentries of existing wells. The
Company engineered and manufactured the first coiled tubing units built
specifically for coiled tubing drilling in 1996.
There are certain limitations to the use of coiled tubing. Coiled tubing
generally is made of high strength, alloy steel which wears down or fatigues
over time as a result of internal pressure, acidic operating environments and
normal bending cycles. Thus, operators must carefully monitor the use of the
tubing. In addition, coiled tubing will buckle if the weight of the coiled
tubing being conveyed in the wall becomes too great or if the tube becomes
inhibited by some obstacle or irregularity in the well bore. Buckling has not
proven to be a significant obstacle in most well remediation applications, and
the Company believes it will become less of an issue as a result of the
availability of stronger and larger diameter coiled tubing.
Generally, the Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products group supplies customers
with the equipment and components necessary to use coiled tubing, which the
customers typically purchase separately. The group's coiled tubing product line
consists of coiled tubing units, coiled tubing and wireline pressure control
equipment, wireline units, pressure pumping equipment, snubbing units, nitrogen
pumping equipment and cementing,
11
stimulation, and blending equipment. The group markets its coiled tubing
equipment under the Hydra Rig(R) brand name primarily to providers of coiled
tubing drilling and workover services. The Company's primary coiled tubing unit
production facilities are located at its Hydra Rig facility in Fort Worth,
Texas. In addition, the group markets coiled tubing pressure control equipment
under the Texas Oil Tools(R) brand name and manufactures this equipment at its
facility in Conroe, Texas. The Company's 2001 acquisition of Bradon Industries
added a significant manufacturing plant in Canada, where it sells equipment now
under the brand name Hydra Rig Canada. It also added additional
nitrogen-pumping products and technologies through its 2001 acquisition of
Albin's Enterprises in Duncan, Oklahoma.
Wireline Products. Through its 1996 acquisitions of SSR (International)
Ltd., and Pressure Control Engineering Ltd., its 1998 acquisition of Hydrolex
and Eastern Oil Tools Pte. Ltd, and its 2001 acquisition of Elmar Services,
Ltd. the Company assembled a market-leading position in the wireline unit and
pressure control manufacturing business, expanded its offering of downhole
coiled tubing tools and added manufacturing facilities in Poole and Aberdeen,
in the United Kingdom; Perth, Australia; and Singapore. Additionally, the
Company began offering its "TEM(TM)" cementing equipment and fabricating
nitrogen pumping units in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in December 1997, when it acquired
Tulsa Equipment Manufacturing Company.
The Company's acquisition of Eastern Oil Tools Pte. Ltd. in June, 1998 and
Elmar Services Ltd. in August, 2001 also added perforating guns to its offering
of products. Additionally, the Company acquired Weston Oilfield Engineering
Limited in Norwich, United Kingdom, in December 1998, which strengthened its
coiled tubing unit refurbishing, servicing and spare parts business, as well as
added new cryogenic nitrogen technologies.
The Company has a history of engineering new technologies and products for
its Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products markets. It recently introduced the DSH
"Sidedoor" Stripper/Packer, which allows packer and bushing replacement while
the operator has coiled tubing in the wellbore, and the CT Slimhole BHA Jetting
Tool Assembly, a small diameter jetting tool which can traverse small diameter
well completion configurations.
The Company's customers for Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products include almost
all major oil and gas coiled tubing service companies, as well as major oil
companies, national oil companies, and small independents. Competitors in
Coiled Tubing & Pressure Control Products include Stewart & Stevenson Inc.,
Precision Tube Technology, Maritime Hydraulics AS, ASEP, National Oilwell Inc.
and several smaller competitors.

Seasonal Nature of the Company's Business
Historically, the level of the Company's business has followed seasonal
trends to some degree, which are described below.
In past years, the Company's Tubular Services and Drilling Services
businesses in the United States realized lower activity levels during the first
quarter of the calendar year due to delays in the approval of drilling budgets
and weather restrictions. The Company's tubular inspection, tubular coating,
solids control, and rig instrumentation businesses in Canada typically realized
high first quarter activity levels as operators took advantage of the winter
freeze to help gain access to remote drilling and production areas, and then
declined during the second quarter due to warmer weather conditions which
resulted in thawing, softer ground, difficulty accessing drill sites, and road
bans that curtailed drilling activity. In past years, Tubular Services activity
in both the United States and Canada increased during the third quarter and
then peaked in the fourth quarter as operators spent the remaining drilling
and/or production capital budgets for the year.
The pipeline inspection portion of Tubular Services has typically
experienced reduced activity during the first quarter of the calendar year. The
high winter demand for gas and petroleum products in the northern states and
the consequent curtailment of pipeline maintenance and inspection programs
resulted in less opportunity to perform pipeline inspection during this time.
During the second quarter, activity has typically begun to increase and
normally has continued at relatively stable levels through the end of the year
as operators finished scheduled maintenance programs. Mill systems sales and
industrial inspection services have had no particular seasonal trend. The
timing of mill equipment sales is not easily predictable and, accordingly,
revenue tends to fluctuate from quarter to quarter.
13
In general, Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products have experienced lower revenue
in the fourth quarter due to major customers placing orders, based on their
budgeting process, in the fourth quarter for delivery during the next three
quarters. This process may change in the future as a major customer has changed
to a continuous budgeting process and will place orders throughout the year.
There can be no guarantees that this trend will continue or that any other
customer will change its ordering process.
In general the Drilling Equipment Sales group has not experienced
significant seasonal fluctuation. There can be no guarantee that seasonal
effects will not influence future drilling equipment sales.
The Company anticipates that these seasonal trends will continue. However,
there can be no guarantee that spending by the Company's customers will
continue or that other customers will remain the same as in prior years.
Marketing & Distribution Network
The Company's products are marketed through a sales organization and a
network of agents and distributors, which spans 49 countries.
The Company's Drilling Equipment Sales customers include private and
government-owned oil companies, drilling contractors, drilling rig
manufacturers, rental tool companies, and supply companies, which supply
oilfield products to the end users of the Company's products.
Drilling Equipment, such as the Automated Roughneck, Top Drive Drilling
System, pipe racking systems, and pressure control and motion compensation
equipment, as well as the Varco integrated control and information systems
("V-ICIS"), represent significant capital expenditures and are usually sold
directly to an oil company, drilling contractor or rig builder. Other drilling
equipment products may be sold through supply stores or directly to
government-owned oil companies or drilling contractors.
The Company's Tubular Services customers include major and independent oil
and gas companies, national oil companies, oilfield equipment and product
distributors and manufacturers, drilling and workover contractors, oilfield
service companies, pipeline operators, steel mills, and other industrial
companies. Certain tubular inspection and tubular coating products and services
often are incorporated as a part of a tubular package sold by tubular supply
stores to end users. Tubular Services primarily has direct operations in the
international marketplace, but operates through agents in certain markets.
The Company's Drilling Services customers are predominantly major and
independent oil and gas companies, national oil companies and drilling
contractors. The Drilling Services group operates sales and distribution
facilities at strategic locations worldwide to service areas with high drilling
activity. The Company's worldwide Solids Control and Instrumentation sales
employees are complemented by service and engineering facilities which provide
specialty repair and maintenance services to customers.
The Company's Coiled Tubing and Wireline Products are primarily sold
directly to end users through a worldwide Coiled Tubing and Wireline Products
sales organization. The Company also has in place certain exclusive alliances
with major oilfield service companies to provide pressure control equipment.
The Company's foreign operations, which include significant operations in
Canada, Europe, the Far East, the Middle East and Latin America, are subject to
the risks normally associated with conducting business in foreign countries,
including uncertain political and economic environments, which may limit or
disrupt markets, restrict the movement of funds or result in the deprivation of
contract rights or the taking of property without fair compensation.
Government-owned petroleum companies located in some of the countries in which
the Company operates have adopted policies (or are subject to governmental
policies) giving preference to the purchase of goods and services from
companies that are majority-owned by local nationals. As a result of such
policies, the
14
Company relies on joint ventures, license arrangements and other business
combinations with local nationals in these countries. In addition, political
considerations may disrupt the commercial relationship between the Company and
such government-owned petroleum companies. Although the Company has not
experienced any significant problems in foreign countries arising from
nationalistic policies, political instability, economic instability or currency
restrictions, there can be no assurance that such a problem will not arise in
the future. See Note 12 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for information regarding geographic revenue information.
Research and New Product Development and Intellectual Property
The Company believes that it is a leader in the development of new
technology and equipment to enhance the safety and productivity of the drilling
and the well stimulation process and that its sales and earnings have been
dependent, in part, upon the successful introduction of new or improved
products. Additionally, the Company believes that its strong market position in
its major businesses is enhanced by its leading technologies and reputation for
innovation and expertise. Through its internal development programs and certain
acquisitions, the Company has assembled an extensive array of technologies
protected by a substantial number of trade and service marks, patents, trade
secrets, and other proprietary rights.
As of December 31, 2001, the Company held a substantial number of United
States patents and had patent applications pending. Expiration dates of such
patents range from 2002 to 2019. As of such date, the Company also had foreign
patents and patent applications pending relating to inventions covered by the
United States patents. Additionally, the Company maintains a substantial number
of trade and service marks and maintains a number of trade secrets.
Although the Company believes that this intellectual property has value,
competitive products with different designs have been successfully developed
and marketed by others. The Company considers the quality and timely delivery
of its products, the service it provides to its customers and the technical
knowledge and skills of its personnel to be more important than its
intellectual property in its ability to compete. While the Company stresses the
importance of its research and development programs, the expense and market
uncertainties associated with the development and successful introduction of
new products are such that there can be no assurance that the Company will
realize future revenues from new products.
Engineering and Manufacturing
The manufacturing processes for the Company's products generally consist of
machining, welding and fabrication, heat treating, assembly of manufactured and
purchased components and testing. Most equipment is manufactured primarily from
alloy steel, and the availability of alloy steel castings, forgings, purchased
components and bar stock is critical to the production and timing of shipments.
Within the Drilling Equipment Sales group, automated Roughnecks, Top Drive
Drilling Systems, and pipe handling systems are manufactured in Orange,
California; pressure control and motion compensation equipment, riser pipe and
riser tensioners are manufactured at facilities in Houston, Texas; rotating and
handling tools are manufactured at the Company's facilities in Etten-Leur, the
Netherlands, and Mexicali, Mexico; and derricks and structural rig components
are manufactured in Aberdeen, Scotland and Great Yarmouth, England.
The Company's Drilling Services group manufactures or assembles the
equipment and products which it rents and sells to customers, and which it uses
in providing solids control. In addition to producing new solids control and
instrumentation equipment and products, Drilling Services also produces spare
parts for sale. Drilling Services manufactures screens used in its solids
control operations and for sale to others at its New Iberia, Louisiana; Conroe,
Texas; Leduc, Alberta; and Couva, Trinidad facilities; manufactures solids
control equipment at its facilities in Houston, Conroe, and Aberdeen; and
manufactures instrumentation equipment at its Cedar Park, Texas facility.
15
The Tubular Services group manufactures tubular inspection equipment and
instrumented pipeline inspection tools at its Houston, Texas facility for
resale, and renovates and repairs equipment at its manufacturing facilities in
Houston, Texas; Conroe, Texas; Bordon, England; Celle, Germany; Nisku, Alberta
and Aberdeen, Scotland. Fiber glass tubulars and fittings are manufactured at
its San Antonio, Texas; Big Spring, Texas; Little Rock, Arkansas; Tulsa,
Oklahoma and Wichita, Kansas, Harbin, China facilities, while tubular coatings
are manufactured in its Houston, Texas facility, or through restricted sale
agreements with third party manufacturers.
The Coiled Tubing and Wireline Products group manufactures coiled tubing
units, wireline units, pressure pumping equipment, pressure control equipment
and perforating guns at its Fort Worth, Texas; Conroe, Texas; Duncan, Oklahoma;
Tulsa, Oklahoma; Calgary, Canada; Aberdeen, Scotland; Singapore; Perth,
Australia; and Poole, England facilities.
Certain of the Company's manufacturing facilities and certain of the
Company's products have various certifications, including, ISO 9001, API and
ASME.
Raw Materials
The Company believes that materials and components used in its servicing and
manufacturing operations and purchased for sales are readily available at
competitive prices from numerous sources.
Backlog
Sales of the Company's products are made on the basis of written purchase
orders or contracts and, consistent with industry practice, by e-mail, fax,
letter or oral commitment later confirmed by a written order. In accordance
with industry practice, orders and commitments generally can be cancelled by
customers at any time. However, the Company is generally entitled to
cancellation fees for expenses and costs incurred prior to the cancellation of
orders. In addition, orders and commitments are sometimes modified before or
during manufacture of the products. The Company's backlog is based upon
anticipated revenues from customer orders that the Company believes are firm.
The level of backlog at any particular time is not necessarily indicative of
the future operating performance of the Company.
Backlog at December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 was as follows (in thousands):
December 31,
-------------------------
2001 2000 1999
-------- -------- -------
Drilling Equipment Sales............... $251,531 $ 88,055 $55,734
Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products...... 55,864 $ 61,200 $17,946
-------- -------- -------
Total........................... $307,395 $149,255 $73,680
======== ======== =======
The Company expects that most of the backlog will be shipped by December 31,
2002.
Environmental Matters
The Company's manufacturing processes and its inspection, coating and solids
control services routinely involve the handling and disposal of chemical
substances and waste materials, some of which may be considered to be hazardous
wastes. These potential hazardous wastes result primarily from the
manufacturing and testing processes and the use of mineral spirits to clean
pipe threads during the tubular inspection process and from the coating
process, and the handling of and, in normal cases, the disposal of drilling
fluids and cuttings on behalf of the drillers and/or producers.
The Company's operations are subject to numerous local, state and federal
laws and regulations, including the regulations promulgated by the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration, the United States
16
Environmental Protection Agency, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the
United States Department of Transportation. Management believes that the
Company is in substantial compliance with these laws and regulations, and that
the compliance and remedial action costs associated with these laws and
regulations have not had a material adverse effect on its results of
operations, financial condition or competitive position, to date.
The Company cannot predict the effect on it of new laws and regulations with
respect to radioactive hazardous wastes caused by naturally occurring
radioactive materials or with respect to other environmental matters.
Circumstances or developments which are not currently known as well as the
future cost of compliance with environmental laws and regulations could be
substantial and could have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations and financial condition of the Company.
Pursuant to an agreement executed as part of the acquisition of the Company
in 1988 from Minstar Inc. ("Minstar"), Minstar has agreed, subject to certain
limitations concerning the time for submitting claims and the amount of losses
to be covered as described below, to indemnify the Company with respect to all
losses, liabilities, damages and expenses incurred in connection with, arising
out of or resulting from the production, use, generation, emission, storage,
treatment, transportation, disposal or other handling or disposition or
migration of any kind of any toxic or hazardous wastes at any time prior to the
closing of the 1988 acquisition date. Claims for indemnification were required
to be made before May 13, 1992. Minstar is obligated to indemnify the Company
for the first $1 million of losses incurred by the Company and fifty percent of
losses in excess of $2 million. The Company is solely responsible for the
second $1 million of losses incurred and fifty percent of losses in excess of
$2 million. See "Item 3--Legal Proceedings" for a description of the indemnity
to be provided by Minstar with respect to actions, suits, litigation,
proceedings or governmental investigations which may also apply to certain
environmental matters.
Employees
At December 31, 2001, the Company had a total of 8,651 employees (of which
1,175 were temporary employees). The Company considers its relations with its
employees to be excellent and has never suffered a work stoppage or
interruption due to a labor dispute.

* Building owned subject to a ground lease.
** Land leased to building owner under a 99 year lease.
The Company owns undeveloped acreage next to several of its facilities,
including over 100 acres of undeveloped property located in Houston, Texas.
Machinery, equipment, buildings, and other facilities owned and leased are
considered by management to be adequately maintained and adequate for the
Company's operations.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements relate to the Company's legal
proceedings described below. Litigation is inherently uncertain and may result
in adverse rulings or decisions. Additionally, the Company may enter into
settlements or be subject to judgments which may, individually or in the
aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements.
The Company is involved in numerous legal proceedings which arise in the
ordinary course of its business. The Company is unable to predict the outcome
of these proceedings; however, management believes that none of these legal
proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or
financial condition of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be
no absolute assurance that the indemnity from Minstar discussed below or the
Company's insurance coverage will be sufficient to protect the Company from
incurring substantial liability as a result of these proceedings.
The Company has been party to two lawsuits that allege wrongful death or
injury of former employees resulting from exposure to silica and silica dust
during employment with the Company, both of which have been settled. These
settlements have been made on the Company's behalf by the Company's and
Minstar's insurance carriers without financial loss to the Company. The Company
is aware of the possibility that suits may be brought against it by other
former employees alleging exposure to silica and silica dust during their
employment with the Company. These suits may involve claims for wrongful death
under a theory of gross negligence and claims for punitive damages, the amounts
of which could be substantial but cannot be predicted. Additionally, the
Company has been sued in the past for claims arising out of allegations of
exposure to silica, asbestos, benzene and certain other substances alleged to
have been used primarily during its processes in the 1960s, 1970s, and early
1980s. The Company believes that, based upon insurance and indemnification from
Minstar, any such potential claims, if asserted, would not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.
23
Pursuant to an agreement executed in connection with the acquisition of the
Company in 1988, Minstar agreed, subject to certain limitations, to hold the
Company harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages,
deficiencies and expenses (in excess of $1.5 million in the aggregate) arising
out of product and/or general liability claims arising out of occurrences on or
prior to the closing of the acquisition. In addition, Minstar agreed, subject
to certain limitations, to hold the Company harmless from any and all losses,
liabilities and damages, deficiencies and expenses related to any action, suit,
litigation, proceeding or governmental investigation existing or pending on or
prior to the closing of the acquisition. There is, however, a dispute with
Minstar concerning whether the indemnification referenced in the first sentence
of this paragraph is applicable only if the claim is the type that would be
covered by a product or general liability insurance policy. The Company firmly
maintains that all suits or claims are the responsibility of Minstar when the
event giving rise to liability occurred prior to the closing of the
acquisition. No assurance can be given, however, that Minstar will not contest
responsibility for future suits, including those filed under theories of gross
negligence. Management believes that Minstar is responsible for indemnifying it
with respect to all of the aforementioned lawsuits subject in certain instances
to the $1.5 million basket. In addition, while management believes certain
liability arising from certain of the above described suits will be covered by
insurance, such suits may be subject to a reservation of rights and the
coverage could be contested by the carriers providing such insurance.
The Company has settled the litigation styled Derrick Manufacturing
Corporation vs. Advanced Wirecloth, Inc., Environmental Procedures, Inc. dba
SWECO Oilfield Services et al (Civil Action No. 942417) in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, which was
a consolidated action with Civil Action No. 95-3653. All claims related to this
litigation were settled including, among other things (1) infringement of
United States Patent Nos. 4,575,421, 5,417,858, 5,417,859, 5,720,881 and
5,783,077, (2) trademark infringement, (3) unfair competition, (4) false patent
marking of products, (5) false advertising under Section 43(a) of the Lanham
Act, and (6) violation of Texas' Anti-Dilution Act. The specific terms of this
settlement are covered by agreements of confidentiality and certain provisions
may still be the subject of the protective order issued by the Court. The
Company believes that it has indemnity coverage from certain of its insurance
carriers for certain of the alleged claims, and also believes its cost of
defending this action are covered by insurance. However, this suit is the
subject of reservation of rights by certain carriers and coverage could be
contested by carriers providing such insurance. The Company is currently
aggressively pursuing its claims for costs of defense and indemnity.

(1) The 1998 operating profit includes $1.5 million write-off of rental
equipment and $0.9 million allowance for abandoned leases and other
obligations. Excluding these charges, operating profit was $187.6 million.
The 1999 operating profit includes $7.8 million of transaction costs and
write-offs associated with the terminated Newpark merger. Excluding these
costs, operating profit was $75.2 million. The 2000 operating profit
includes $9.7 million of financial advisor fees, $4.3 million of
compensation costs, $5.1 million to fully vest employees participating in
the Executive Stock Match program, $3.5 million in equipment
rationalization charges and $3.9 million of other transaction costs
associated with the Varco Merger. Excluding these costs, operating profit
was $87.5 million. The 2001 operating profit includes $16.5 million of
litigation costs. Excluding these costs, operating profit was $174.6
million.
(2) "EBITDA" means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization,
restructuring charges, write-off of long-lived assets, merger and
transaction costs, litigation costs and extraordinary items and should not
be considered as an alternative to net income or any other generally
accepted accounting principles measure of performance as an indicator of
the Company's operating performance or as a measure of liquidity. The
Company believes EBITDA is a widely accepted financial indicator of a
company's ability to service debt.
(3) Ratio of EBITDA to interest expense represents an industry ratio that
provides an investor with information as to the Company's current ability
to meet its interest costs.
(4) For the purpose of this calculation, "earnings" consist of net income
(loss) before income taxes, write-off of long-lived assets, transaction
costs, litigation costs, restructuring charges, extraordinary items, and
fixed charges. "Fixed charges" consist of interest expense and amortization
of debt discount and related expenses believed by management to be
representative of the interest factor thereon.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
General
Business Combination--Merger
On May 30, 2000, the stockholders of Tuboscope Inc. (the "Company") and
Varco International, Inc. ("Varco") approved the merger (the "Merger") of Varco
into the Company through an exchange of .7125 shares of the Company's stock for
each share of Varco. In connection with the Merger, the Company changed its
name to Varco International, Inc. and its New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) symbol
from "TBI" to "VRC".
The Merger has been accounted for as a pooling of interests and accordingly
all prior periods consolidated financial statements have been restated to
include the combined results of operations and financial condition. The
following management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and
financial condition is based upon such combined results.
The Company is organized based on the products and services it offers. In
connection with the Merger, the Company reorganized into four principal
business segments: Drilling Equipment Sales, Tubular Services, Drilling
Services, and Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products. See Note 12 of Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Operating Environment Overview
The Company's results are dependent on the level of worldwide oil and gas
drilling and production activity, the prices of oil and gas, capital spending
by other oilfield service companies and drilling contractors, pipeline
maintenance and construction activity, and worldwide oil and gas inventory
levels. Key industry indicators for the past three years include the following:

Natural Gas Prices ($/mbtu)............ $ 3.97 $ 4.32 $ 2.33 (8.1)% 85.4%
- --------
* Averages for the years indicated. The source for rig activity information was
Baker Hughes Incorporated ("BHI"), and the source for oil and gas prices was
Department of Energy, Energy Information Administration (www.eia.doe.gov) for
2000 forward and The Wall Street Journal for 1999.
27
Oil prices remained strong during the first three quarters of 2001,
averaging $27.78 per barrel of West Texas Intermediate Crude during that time
period. While each of the first three quarters of 2001 resulted in a sequential
decline in the price of West Texas Intermediate Crude, the most significant
quarterly decline in 2001 oil prices occurred in the fourth quarter which
dropped 24% from the average price in the third quarter of 2001. Natural gas
prices in 2001, however, began to decline in the second quarter of 2001 (off
31% from the first quarter 2001) and continued to drop in the third and fourth
quarter of 2001. The decline in oil and gas prices was the result of a
weakening worldwide economy during the second half of 2001.
The strong oil prices for the majority of 2001 led to an increase in rig
activity in the U.S. (26% increase) and international (14% increase) markets.
The improvements in rig activity had a significant impact on the Company's
results of operations as operating profit (excluding merger, transaction, and
litigation costs) was up 100% in 2001 compared to 2000, increasing from $87.5
million to $174.6 million. The increase in activity levels combined with
15 acquisitions in 2001 favorably impacted all four of the Company's main
business segments as 2001 revenue was up 40%, 42%, 26%, and 142% over 2000
revenue in the Drilling Equipment Sales, Tubular Services, Drilling Services,
and Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products business segments, respectively.
The following table details the U.S., Canada, and International rig activity
and West Texas Intermediate Oil prices for the past three years on a quarterly
basis:

U.S. Rig activity at February 15, 2002 was 815, a decrease of 8.1% from 887
at December 28, 2001. Compared to February 16, 2001, U.S. rig activity has
declined by 28.9%. These declines are forecasted to continue in the first half
of 2002, which is expected to have an adverse impact on the Company's
operations, during the first half of 2002, especially in the Tubular Services
and Drilling Services business segments.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2001 vs Year Ended December 31, 2000
Revenue. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $1,267.8 million,
an increase of $401.2 million, or 46.3%, from revenue of $866.6 million for the
year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in revenue was primarily the result
of the worldwide increase in rig activity (especially in the U.S.), 15
acquisitions completed in 2001, and the 2001 shipment of several large drilling
equipment orders which were originally ordered in 2000.
The following table summarizes the Company's revenue by operating segment in
2001, 2000, and 1999 (in thousands):

$1,267,809 $866,615 $975,848
========== ======== ========
Revenue from the Company's Drilling Equipment Sales in 2001 was $395.6
million, an increase of $112.2 million (39.6%) compared to 2000. This increase
was due primarily to the 2001 shipment of several large orders placed in 2000.
The 2001 results included $27.9 million of revenue related to the projects for
Maersk (Hyundai Heavy Industries). In addition, 2001 results included a record
year for shipment of top drive systems, as 59 were shipped. New orders for 2001
were $545.9 million, an increase of $230.2 million (72.9%) over 2000. Backlog
at December 31, 2001 for the Drilling Equipment Sales group was $251.5 million,
an increase of 185.5% over December 31, 2000 backlog of $88.1 million. The
increase in orders and backlog was due to an increase in 2001 drilling
activity, the receipt of several large rig orders, and a record number of
orders for top drive systems. However, backlog at December 31, 2001 was
actually down from backlog at September 30, 2001 of $274.3 million (8.3%). The
recent decline in backlog was reflective of the declining market activity in
the fourth quarter of 2001. In accordance with industry practice, orders and
commitments generally are cancellable by customers at any time.
Revenue from the Company's Tubular Services was $352.6 million in 2001, an
increase of $104.5 million (42.1%) over 2000 results. U.S. inspection and
coating revenue increased $25.4 million (30%) over 2000 results due to
increased U.S. rig activity. Also, the Company's Eastern Hemisphere inspection
and coating revenue increased by $13.7 million due to the increase in
international activity. In addition, this segment's fiberglass tubular
operations revenue was up $59.7 million due to greater activity levels and the
impact of acquisitions completed late in 2000 and in July of 2001. Revenue from
the Company's pipeline inspection operation increased by $6.7 million due to
greater demand for pipeline inspection in the U.S.
Drilling Services revenue was $314.3 million in 2001, an increase of $64.0
million (25.6%) over 2000 results. U.S. Solids Control revenue increased $13.2
million (43%) in 2001 compared to 2000 due to a strong U.S. market. In
addition, the Company benefited from strong markets and revenue growth in Latin
America (up $10.4 million) and the Eastern Hemisphere (up $33.8 million). Also,
the Company's instrumentation business increased $20.4 primarily due to two
acquisitions in Canada in 2001.
29
Coiled Tubing and Wireline Products revenue was $205.4 million in 2001, an
increase of $120.4 million (141.8%) over 2000 results. The increase was due
mainly to greater sales of coiled tubing units and pressure control equipment,
and the January 2001 acquisition of Quality Tubing. In addition, the first half
2001 acquisition of Bradon Industries Ltd in Canada and Albin's Enterprises,
Inc. in Oklahoma, and with the third quarter 2001 acquisition of Elmar Services
Ltd. in the UK also contributed to the revenue growth. Backlog for this segment
was at $55.9 million at December 31, 2001 compared to $61.2 million at December
31, 2000, a decline of 8.7% and an additional indication of the recent decline
in the market.
Gross Profit. Gross profit was $373.5 million (29.5% of revenue) in 2001
compared to $239.6 million (27.6% of revenue) in 2000. The increase in gross
profit dollars was due to the greater revenue in 2001 discussed above. The
increase in gross profit percentages was due to strong operating leverage in
Tubular Services, Drilling Services, and Coiled Tubing and Wireline products.
These strong operating leverages more than offset lower margins from the
Drilling Equipment Sales group which was caused by higher engineering costs on
certain large sales of drilling equipment units in 2001.
Selling, General, and Administration Costs. Selling, general, and
administrative costs were $152.3 million in 2001, an increase of $32.3 million
(27%) over 2000 costs of $119.9 million. The increase was due primarily to the
15 acquisitions completed in 2001 and greater selling costs associated with a
46% increase in revenue. As a percent of revenue, selling, general, and
administrative costs were 12.0% of revenue in 2001 compared to 13.8% of revenue
in 2000.
Research and Engineering Costs. Research and engineering costs were $46.6
million in 2001, an increase of $14.5 million (45%) compared to 2000 results.
The increase was primarily due to greater costs in the Drilling Equipment Sales
group, the fifteen acquisitions completed in 2001 and one acquisition completed
late in 2000.
Merger, Transaction, and Litigation Costs. Merger, transaction, and
litigation costs were $16.5 million and $26.6 million for the years ended
December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. During the second quarter of 2001 the
Company engaged in a court ordered mediation and as a result recorded a $16.5
million charge concerning a patent litigation matter, which has subsequently
been settled (see Item III Legal Proceedings). The 2000 merger and transaction
costs included financial advisor fees, full vesting of executive stock matching
awards and employment retirement benefits, equipment rationalization
write-offs, certain costs related to employment contracts, and legal,
accounting, and printing costs associated with the Merger.
Operating Profit. Operating profit was $158.1 million for 2001 compared to
$60.9 million for 2000. Excluding merger, transaction, and litigation costs,
operating profit as a percentage of revenue was 13.8% in 2001 compared to 10.1%
in 2000. The improvement in both operating profit dollars and percentages was
due to greater revenue and a favorable product mix in 2001 compared to 2000.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $21.8 million in 2001 compared to
$15.3 million in 2000. The increase in interest expense was due to greater
average outstanding debt balances as a result of the $200.0 million Senior
Notes issued in the second quarter of 2001.
Other Expense (Income). Other expense includes interest income, foreign
exchange losses and gains, and other expense (income). Net other expense was
$4.3 million in 2001 compared to other income of $0.2 million in 2000. The
increase in other expense was due mainly to the permanent impairment of an
investment and lower interest income related to less excess cash on hand in
2001 than 2000.
Provision for Income Taxes. The Company recorded a tax provision of $49.1
million (37.2% of pre-tax income) and $24.8 million (54.1% of pre-tax income)
for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. These tax
provisions were higher than the domestic tax rate of 35%, due to deductions not
allowed under domestic and foreign jurisdictions related to merger and
transaction costs, and goodwill amortization and to foreign earnings subject to
tax rates differing from domestic rates.
30
Net Income. Net income was $83.0 million and $21.1 million for 2001 and
2000, respectively. The increase in net income was due to the factors discussed
above.
Year Ended December 31, 2000 vs Year End December 31, 1999
Revenue. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $866.6 million, a
decrease of $109.2 million from the year ended December 31, 1999. The decrease
was due to a $220.9 million decline in revenue for Drilling Equipment Sales,
which reported revenue of $504.2 million in 1999. The decline in Drilling
Equipment Sales was a result of a strong 1999, which included the shipment of
orders placed during the last new rig construction cycle in 1997 and the first
half 1998. This decline was partially offset by increased revenue in Tubular
Services, Drilling Services, and Coiled Tubing and Wireline Products, which
benefited from the upturn in the oil and gas industry discussed above.
Revenue from the Company's Drilling Equipment Sales in 2000 was $283.4
million, a decline of $220.9 million (43.8%) compared to 1999 due to lower
orders in 1999 which resulted in a decline in 2000 shipments of equipment for
upgrading, conversion, and new construction of offshore drilling rigs,
particularly floating rigs that are capable of drilling in water depths
exceeding 3,000 feet. However, new orders for 2000 increased $75.9 million
(31.5%) over 1999. Backlog at December 31, 2000 for Drilling Equipment Sales
was $88.1 million, an increase of $32.3 million (58.0%) compared to $55.7
million at December 31, 1999. The increase in new orders and backlog was due to
an increase in worldwide drilling activity, and the receipt of a $25 million
order from Maersk. In accordance with industry practice, orders and commitments
generally are cancelable by customers at any time.
Revenue from the Company's Tubular Services was $248.1 million in 2000, an
increase of $53.2 million (27.3%) over 1999 results. The increase reflected the
change in North America rig activity, which was up 46.0% in 2000 over 1999. The
majority of the revenue increase was attributable to North America inspection
and coating revenue which was up $33.3 million (46.8%) in 2000 over 1999. Also,
this segment's fiberglass tubular operations approximately doubled in 2000
compared to 1999 (up $15.4 million). Eastern Hemisphere operations, which
include Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Far East operations, increased over
the prior year as result of greater coating operations in the European and Far
East coating plants and greater European inspection revenue.
Drilling Services revenue was $250.2 million, an increase of $47.7 million
(23.6%) over 1999 results. The increase in North America rig activity also had
a favorable impact on the Company's Drilling Services revenue, as the majority
of the revenue increase was in the North America rental and services business
for both the segment's Solids Control and Instrumentation operations. Latin
America revenue was also strong as Solids Control revenue in that area
increased 59.4% from $40.9 million in 1999.
Coiled Tubing and Wireline Products revenue was $84.9 million, an increase
of $10.8 million (14.5%) compared to 1999 revenue of $74.2 million. The
increase was primarily attributable to greater sales of coiled tubing pressure
equipment for 2000 compared to 1999. Backlog for this segment was at $61.2
million at December 31, 2000, an increase of 241.9% over December 31, 1999
backlog of $17.9 million.
Gross Profit. Gross profit was $239.6 million (27.6% of revenue) in 2000
compared to $250.5 million (25.7% of revenue) in 1999. Gross profit dollars
were down due to lower revenue in 2000. The increase in gross profit
percentages was due to strong operating leverage in Tubular Services, Drilling
Services, and Coiled Tubing and Wireline products. Cost reductions implemented
in the Drilling Equipment Sales product group in 2000 offset some of the impact
that the decline in revenue had on gross profit percents.
Selling, General, and Administrative Costs. Selling, general, and
administrative costs were $119.9 million in 2000, a decrease of $15.3 million
(11.3%) compared to 1999 results. Selling, general, and administrative costs
were down primarily in Drilling Equipment Sales in 2000 compared to 1999 as a
result of lower revenue. In addition, the Company incurred severance costs
throughout 1999 in response to market conditions, which did not repeat in 2000.
31
Research and Engineering Costs. Research and engineering costs were $32.1
million in 2000, a decrease of $8.0 million (19.9%) compared to 1999 results.
The decrease in research and engineering costs is due to reduced engineering
resources in Drilling Equipment Sales group in response to the decline in new
orders.
Transaction Costs and Write-Offs. Transaction costs and write-offs were
$26.6 million and $7.8 million for December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
The 2000 merger and transaction costs included cash and non-cash transaction
costs. Cash costs included financial advisor fees of $9.7 million, compensation
costs of $4.3 million, and other costs, including legal, accounting and
printing costs of $3.9 million. Non-cash transaction costs included $5.1
million to fully vest employees participating in the Executive Stock Match
Program and $3.5 million of equipment rationalization write-offs. The 1999
transaction costs consisted of the cost of the cancelled merger with Newpark
Resources, Inc. ("Newpark").
Operating Profit. Operating profit was $60.9 million for 2000 compared to
$67.3 million for 1999. Excluding merger and transaction costs, operating
profit percent was 10.1% of revenue in 2000 compared to 7.7% of revenue in
1999. The improvement was due to greater gross profit margins as a result of
product mix, lower selling, general, and administrative costs, and lower
research and engineering costs as discussed above.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $15.3 million and $18.9 million for
the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. The decrease was due to the
reduction of debt in the second quarter of 2000, as cash from Varco was applied
to reduce debt upon completion of the Merger.
Other Expense (Income). Other income includes interest income, foreign
exchange losses (gains), and other expense (income), which resulted in income
of $0.2 million in 2000 compared to income of $1.6 million in 1999. The decline
in other income was primarily due to foreign exchange losses in 2000 of $1.1
million compared to a foreign exchange gain in 1999 of $0.5 million.
Provision for Income Taxes. The Company recorded a tax provision of $24.8
million (54.1% of pre-tax income) and $20.3 million (40.5% of pre-tax income)
for 2000 and 1999, respectively. These tax provisions were higher than
expected, based on a domestic tax rate of 35%, due to deductions not allowed
under domestic and foreign jurisdictions related to merger and transaction
costs, and goodwill amortization and to foreign earnings subject to tax rates
differing from domestic rates.
Net Income. Net income was $21.1 million and $29.8 million for 2000 and
1999, respectively. The decline in net income was due to the factors discussed
above.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
At December 31, 2001, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $57.5
million, and current and long-term debt of $322.6 million. At December 31,
2000, cash and cash equivalents were $12.2 million, and current and long-term
debt was $136.5 million. The increase in current and long-term debt in 2001 was
due primarily to cash paid, notes assumed, and notes issued totaling $168.2
million related to 15 business asset and technology acquisitions in 2001, and
the issue on May 1, 2001 of $200.0 million of 7 1/4% Senior Notes due 2011. The
Company's outstanding debt at December 31, 2001 consisted of $201.5 million
(net of discounts) of the 2011 Notes, $99.1 million (net of discounts) of 2008
Notes, and $22.0 million of other debt.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, cash provided by operating
activities was $84.0 million compared to $81.8 million for 2000. Cash was
provided by operations primarily through net income of $83.0 million plus
non-cash charges of $78.0 million. These items were offset to some extent by an
increase in accounts receivable of $51.9 million, an increase in inventory of
$60.9 million, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $9.5
million. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other increased by
$20.0 million and income taxes payable increased by $25.4 million. The increase
in receivables was directly related to a $116.6 million increase in revenue in
the fourth quarter of 2001 compared to the same quarter of
32
2000. Days sales outstanding decreased from 98.7 days at December 31, 2000 to
86.9 days at December 31, 2001. Inventory increased due to an increase in
work-in-process as the December 31, 2001 backlog for the Drilling Equipment
Sales segment increased $163.5 million from December 31, 2000 to December 31,
2001. The increase in prepaid expenses and other assets was due to an increase
in prepaid insurance, taxes, and deferred costs on drilling equipment projects.
The increase in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other was due to
increased vendor payables and accruals associated with increased operations and
greater accrued interest associated with higher outstanding debt balances. The
increase in income taxes payable was due to greater pre-tax profit in the
fourth quarter of 2001 than the fourth quarter of 2000.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, cash used for investing
activities was $212.9 million compared to $64.9 million for the same period of
2000. The Company used approximately $146.0 million of cash to acquire fifteen
separate businesses/asset acquisitions during 2001. See Note 3 of Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements. Capital spending of $65.8 million was
related primarily to capital additions for the strong North America market in
the Tubular Services and Drilling Services product segments.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, the Company generated $174.9
million of cash from financing activities compared to cash used of $86.7
million in 2000. Cash generated consisted of net borrowings of $164.8 million
(primarily from the $200.0 million bonds described in Note 8 to Notes to the
Financial Statements) and proceeds from the sale of stock of $10.1 million.
On January 30, 2002 the Company entered into a new credit agreement with a
syndicate of banks that provided up to $125.0 million of funds under a
revolving credit facility. The facility expires on January 30, 2005. The
facility is secured by guarantees of material U.S. subsidiaries. The interest
rate on the borrowed portion of the revolver is based on the Company's rating
by S&P and Moody's which at the time of the agreement resulted in an interest
rate of Libor + 0.625% or the prime rate. Commitment fees range from 0.1% to
0.25% depending on the Company rating.
The Company believes that its December 31, 2001 cash and cash equivalents,
its new credit facility, and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to
meet its capital expenditures and its operating cash needs for the foreseeable
future.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In preparing the financial statements, we make assumptions, estimates and
judgments that affect the amounts reported. We periodically evaluate our
estimates and judgments related to bad debts and inventory obsolescence;
impairments of long-lived assets, including goodwill and our reserves for
product warranty claims. Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements
contains the accounting policies governing each of these matters. Our estimates
are based on historical experience and on our future expectations that are
believed to be reasonable; the combination of these factors forms the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results are likely to differ
from our current estimates and those differences may be material.
33
Reserves for bad debts are determined on a specific identification basis
when we believe that the required payment of specific amounts owed to us is not
probable. Substantially all of our revenues come from international oil
companies and government-owned or government-controlled oil companies and we
have receivables in many foreign jurisdictions. If, due to changes in worldwide
oil and gas drilling activity or changes in economic conditions in foreign
jurisdictions, our customers were unable to repay these receivables, additional
allowances would be required.
Reserves for inventory obsolescence are determined based on our historical
usage of inventory on-hand as well as our future expectations related to our
substantial installed base and the development of new products. Changes in
worldwide oil and gas drilling activity and the development of new technologies
associated with the drilling industry could require additional allowances to
reduce the value of inventory to the lower of its cost or net realizable value.
Accruals for warranty claims are provided based on historical experience at
the time of sale. Product warranties generally cover periods from one to three
years. Our accruals for warranty claims are affected by the size of our
installed base of products currently under warranty, as well as new products
delivered to the market. Periodically, as actual experience proves different
from historical estimates, additional provisions are required.
The determination of impairment on long-lived assets, including goodwill, is
conducted as indicators of impairment are present. If such indicators were
present, the determination of the amount of impairment would be based on our
judgments as to the future operating cash flows to be generated from these
assets throughout their estimated useful lives. Our industry is highly cyclical
and our estimates of the period over which future cash flows will be generated,
as well as the predictability of these cash flows, can have a significant
impact on the carrying value of these assets and, in periods of prolonged down
cycles may result in impairment charges.
Factors Affecting Future Operating Results
This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. The forward looking statements are those that do not
state historical facts and are inherently subject to risk and uncertainties.
The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on current
expectations and entail various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements. Such risks and uncertainties are set forth below.
The oil and gas industry in which the Company participates historically has
experienced significant volatility. Demand for the Company's services and
products depends primarily upon the number of oil and gas wells being drilled,
the depth and drilling conditions of such wells, the volume of production, the
number of well completions, the capital expenditures of other oilfield service
companies and drilling contractors, the level of pipeline construction and
maintenance expenditures, and the level of workover activity. Drilling and
workover activity can fluctuate significantly in a short period of time,
particularly in the United States and Canada.
The willingness of oil and gas operators to make capital expenditures for
the exploration and production of oil and natural gas will continue to be
influenced by numerous factors over which the Company has no control, including
the prevailing and expected market prices for oil and natural gas. Such prices
are impacted by, among other factors, the ability of the members of the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") to maintain price
stability through voluntary production limits, the level of production of
non-OPEC countries, worldwide demand for oil and gas, general economic and
political conditions, costs of exploration and production, availability of new
leases and concessions, and governmental regulations regarding, among other
things, environmental protection, taxation, price controls and product
allocations. No assurance can be given as to the level of future oil and gas
industry activity or demand for the Company's services and products.
The Company's foreign operations, which include significant operations in
Canada, Europe, the Far East, the Middle East and Latin America, are subject to
the risks normally associated with conducting business in
34
foreign countries, including uncertain political and economic environments,
which may limit or disrupt markets, restrict the movement of funds or result in
the deprivation of contract rights or the taking of property without fair
compensation. Government-owned petroleum companies located in some of the
countries in which the Company operates have adopted policies (or are subject
to governmental policies) giving preference to the purchase of goods and
services from companies that are majority-owned by local nationals. As a result
of such policies, the Company relies on joint ventures, license arrangements
and other business combinations with local nationals in these countries. In
addition, political considerations may disrupt the commercial relationship
between the Company and such government-owned petroleum companies. Although the
Company has not experienced any significant problems in foreign countries
arising from nationalistic policies, political instability, economic
instability or currency restrictions, there can be no assurance that such a
problem will not arise in the future.
The Company's solids control, inspection and coating services routinely
involve the handling of waste materials, some of which may be considered to be
hazardous wastes. The Company is subject to numerous local, state and federal
laws and regulations concerning the containment and disposal of materials,
pursuant to which the Company has been required to incur compliance and
clean-up costs, which were not substantial in 2001, 2000, and 1999. Compliance
with environmental laws and regulations due to currently unknown circumstances
or developments, however, could result in substantial costs and have a material
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
A significant portion of the Company's recent growth in revenues and
profitability has been the result of its aggressive acquisition program. The
Company's future operating results will be impacted by the Company's ability to
identify additional attractive acquisition opportunities, consummate such
acquisitions on favorable terms and successfully integrate the operations of
the acquired businesses with those of the Company.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE & QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company does not believe it has a material exposure to market risk. The
Company has historically managed its exposure to interest changes by using a
combination of fixed rate debt, variable rate debt, interest swap and collar
agreements in its total debt portfolio. As of December 31, 2001, the Company
had no interest rate swap or collar agreements outstanding. At December 31,
2001, the Company had $322.6 million of outstanding debt. Fixed rate debt
included $201.5 million of Senior Notes (net of discounts) at a fixed rate of
7 1/4% and $99.1 million of Senior Notes (net of discounts) at a fixed interest
rate of 7 1/2%. With respect to foreign currency fluctuations, the Company uses
natural hedges to minimize the effect of rate fluctuations. When natural hedges
are not sufficient, generally it is the Company's policy to enter into forward
foreign exchange contracts to hedge significant transactions for periods
consistent with the underlying risk. The Company had no forward foreign
exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2001. The Company does not enter
into foreign currency or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

The financial statements of the Company and subsidiaries required to be

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Varco International, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Varco
International, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the related
consolidated statements of income, common stockholders' equity and
comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2001. Our audits also included the financial statement
schedules listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and
schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Varco International, Inc. at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
consolidated results of its income and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the
related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects
the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.
Merger
On May 30, 2000, the Company completed a merger with Varco International,
Inc., a California corporation ("Varco"), by exchanging 46.8 million shares of
its common stock for all of the common stock of Varco (the "Merger"). Each
share of Varco's stock was exchanged for .7125 of one share of the Company's
common stock. In addition, outstanding Varco stock options were converted at
the same exchange ratio into options to acquire approximately 2.2 million
shares of the Company's common stock. In connection with the merger, the
Company changed its name to Varco International, Inc., and its New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE) symbol from "TBI" to "VRC".
The Merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests and accordingly, all
prior period consolidated financial statements were restated to include the
combined results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of Varco.
Revenues and net income, before merger and transaction costs, related to the
Merger of the separate companies prior to the completion of the Merger on May
30, 2000, were as follows (in thousands):
2000 1999
-------- --------
Revenues:
Tuboscope......................................................... $224,730 $385,474
Varco............................................................. 184,866 590,374

Total......................................................... $409,596 $975,848

Net income before merger & transaction costs related to the merger:
Tuboscope......................................................... $ 5,838 $ (7,156)
Varco............................................................. 10,106 36,965
-------- --------
Total......................................................... $ 15,944 $ 29,809
======== ========
In connection with the Merger, the Company incurred $26,570,000 of
transaction costs in the twelve months ended December 31, 2000. Cash and
accrued cash transaction costs included financial advisor fees of $9,714,000,
compensation costs of $4,308,000 and other costs, including legal, accounting
and printing costs of $3,948,000. Non-cash transaction costs included
$5,072,000 to fully vest employees participating in the Executive Stock Match
Program and $3,528,000 of equipment rationalization write-offs.
As a result of the Merger, certain executives and key employees of the
Company may, upon termination of their employment, be entitled to enhanced
severance benefits pursuant to their severance agreements with the Company. It
is not possible to estimate the number of executives or key employees who may
voluntarily or involuntarily terminate their employment with the Company;
accordingly, no amounts have been provided for such payments. The maximum
amount that would be paid pursuant to all such severance agreements is
approximately $16,800,000.
There were no material transactions between the Company and Varco prior to
the Merger. The effects of conforming Varco's accounting policies to those of
the Company were not material.

VARCO INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
Nature of Business and Risk Factors
The Merger created one of the world's leading drilling equipment and
services company. The combined company carries market leadership positions in
each of its four principal business segments: Drilling Equipment Sales, Tubular
Services, Drilling Services and Coiled Tubing and Wireline Products. The
Company provides its customers with the most comprehensive range of drilling
rig equipment and services and tubular services in the industry. A more
detailed description of products and services is provided in Note 12 Business
Segments and Foreign Operations.
The Company's overall results depend largely on the level of worldwide oil
drilling and production activity, the prices of oil and gas, and worldwide oil
and gas inventory levels. Demand for the Company's Drilling Equipment Sales is
largely dependent on the level of offshore drilling activity. Demand for the
Company's Tubular Services is based on the relatively low cost of its services
compared to the costs to a customer of a failure or interruption in service.
Demand for the Company's Drilling Services is due to the reduction of drilling
costs in land and offshore drilling operations, and its ability to help
minimize the environmental impact of drilling operations. Demand for the
Company's Coiled Tubing & Wireline equipment is due to the economic benefits
Coiled Tubing equipment provides in oil and gas workover operations versus
conventional techniques, including quicker service time, and the continuous
production of the well.
The Company operates in over 49 countries around the world. Its revenues are
geographically concentrated in North America (50%), Latin America (13%),
Europe, Africa, and the Middle East (27%), and the Far East (8%). As a result
of its international presence, the Company's operations are subject to the
risks normally associated with conducting businesses in foreign countries,
including uncertain political and economic environments, which may limit or
disrupt markets, restrict the movement of funds or result in the deprivation of
contract rights or the taking of property without compensation. In addition,
the Company has significant customer concentrations in the Middle East, Latin
America and the Far East whose spending can be volatile based on oil price
changes, the political environment and delays in the government budget. Adverse
changes in individual circumstances can have a significant negative impact on
the financial performance of the Company.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when goods are shipped or when services are
rendered. On large equipment sales which have multiple completion stages and
where the collection of payment is reasonably assured, the Company recognizes
revenue under the percentage of completion method.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Credit Risk
The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and cash
equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable
approximated fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these
instruments. The carrying value of debt approximated fair values as of December
31, 2001 and 2000 except for the Company's $100,000,000 7 1/2% Senior Notes due
2008, and $200,000,000 7 1/4% Senior Notes due 2011. Based on information
provided by a national brokerage company, the $100 million Senior Notes were
valued at
F-7
VARCO INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
$103,030,000 and $95,369,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the $200
million Senior Notes were valued at $199,960,000 at December 31, 2001.
Substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable are due from
customers in the oil and gas industry, both in the United States and
internationally. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its
customers and generally does not require collateral. In certain circumstances,
the Company requires letters of credit to further insure credit worthiness.
Reserve for bad debts are determined on a specific identification basis when
we believe that the required payment of specific amounts owed to us is not
probable. Accounts receivable are net of allowances for doubtful accounts of
approximately $11,517,000 and $10,199,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company
determines the cost of inventories using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method
for its Drilling Equipment Sales inventory and the weighted average method for
other inventory. Reserves for inventory obsolescence are determined based on
our historical usage of inventory on-hand as well as our future expectations
related to our substantial installed base and the development of new products.
Inventory is net of our reserve of excess and obsolete inventory of
approximately $31,028,000 and $23,333,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives for financial reporting purposes and generally by the accelerated
or modified accelerated costs recovery systems for income tax reporting
purposes. Estimated useful lives are 30 years for buildings and 5-12 years for
machinery and equipment. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to
income as incurred. Major repairs and improvements are capitalized and
depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. The depreciation of
fixed assets recorded under capital lease agreements is included in
depreciation expense. Property and equipment depreciation expense was
$53,781,000, $44,789,000, and $45,387,000, for the years ended December 31,
2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.
Identified intangibles
Identified intangibles are being amortized on a straight-line basis, over
estimated useful lives between 5 and 40 years, and are presented net of
accumulated amortization of approximately $26,369,000 and $23,544,000 at
December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Identified intangibles consist
primarily of technology, patents, trademarks, license agreements, existing
service contracts and covenants not to compete.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market
value of the net assets acquired. Such excess costs are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over lives ranging from 10-40 years depending on the
estimated economic life. Accumulated amortization at December 31, 2001 and 2000
was approximately $55,361,000, and $44,904,000, respectively. On an annual
basis, the Company estimates the future estimated undiscounted cash flows of
the business to which goodwill related in order to determine that the carrying
value of the goodwill had not been impaired.
F-8
VARCO INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount.
Long-lived assets expected to be disposed of, including excess equipment and
production facilities held for sale, are stated at their estimated fair value
less cost to sell.
Warranty Accruals
Accruals for warranty claims are provided based on historical experience at
the time of sale. Product warranties generally cover periods from one to three
years. Our accruals for warranty claims are affected by the size of our
installed base of products currently under warranty, as well as new products
delivered to the market.
Income taxes
The liability method is used to account for income taxes. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the
enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are
expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to
reduce deferred tax assets to amounts which are more likely than not to be
realized. The provision for income taxes is the tax payable or refundable for
the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets
and liabilities.
Derivative financial instruments
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133).
As amended SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts and for hedging activities. This statement requires that an
entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.
This statement was adopted effective January 1, 2001 and did not have a
material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Foreign exchange rates
Revenue and expenses for foreign operations have been translated into U.S.
dollars using average exchange rates and reflect currency exchange gains and
losses resulting from transactions conducted in other than functional
currencies.
The assets and liabilities of certain foreign subsidiaries are translated at
current exchange rates and the related translation adjustments are recorded
directly in stockholders' equity. For subsidiaries which operate in countries
which have highly inflationary economies, certain assets are translated at
historical exchange rates and all translation adjustments are reflected in the
statements of income.
Stock based compensation
The Company accounts for stock option grants to employees in accordance with
the intrinsic value method.
Earnings per common share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The
Company's diluted earnings per common share is calculated by
F-9
VARCO INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
adjusting net income for after-tax interest expense on convertible debt and
dividing that number by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding plus shares which would be assumed outstanding after conversion of
convertible debt, vested stock options and outstanding stock warrants under the
treasury stock method.
Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
The consolidated financial statements and related notes, which have been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, require
the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the 2000 and 1999 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with current year classifications.
New Accounting Standards
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" (SFAS 141), and
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142), effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under SFAS 141 all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 were accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting. Under SFAS 142, intangible assets deemed to have
indefinite lives (including goodwill) will no longer be amortized but will be
subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements.
Accordingly, the Company did not amortize any goodwill purchased after June 30,
2001. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful
lives.
The Company will apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other
intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of 2002. Application of the
nonamortization provisions of SFAS 142 is expected to result in an increase in
net income of approximately $10,500,000 per year (or $0.11 per share). Based on
preliminary tests, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 142 to have
a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations," (SFAS 143). SFAS 143 requires a company to recognize a liability
associated with a legal obligation to retire or remove any tangible long-lived
assets. The new statement is effective beginning in 2003 and the Company is
currently evaluating if it will have a material impact on its financial
position or results of operations.
In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS 144). This new statement supercedes FASB
statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
long-lived assets to be disposed of (SFAS 121), however, it retains the
fundamental provisions of long-lived assets to be "held and used." The new
statement provides implementation guidelines and will be effective for the
Company in 2002. SFAS 144 is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations, but it is expected to
effect certain of the Company's accounting policies.

The total net deferred tax liability at December 31, 2001 is comprised of
$6,618,000 of net current tax assets and $18,604,000 net noncurrent deferred
tax liabilities.
The Company has made provision for additional taxes on the anticipated
repatriation of certain earnings from its foreign subsidiaries. Undistributed
earnings of its foreign subsidiaries in excess of the amount already provided
is considered permanently reinvested. It is not practical to determine the
amount of federal income taxes, if any, that might become due in the event that
the balance of such earnings were to be distributed.
At December 31, 2001 the Company has approximately $6,268,000 of foreign net
operating loss carryforwards, the majority of which have an indefinite life.
The Company has a valuation allowance of $913,000 against these net operating
losses as the Company believes that the corresponding deferred tax asset may
not be fully realizable. The change in valuation allowance from 2000 to 2001
was primarily due to the expiration of net operating losses associated with the
allowances. In addition, the Company has foreign tax credit carryforwards of
$6,576,000 which will begin to expire in 2003.
The Company is currently engaged in tax audits and appeals in various tax
jurisdictions. The years covered by each audit or appeal vary considerably
among legal entities. Assessments, if any, are not expected to have a material
adverse effect on the financial statements.

Senior Subordinated Notes
On February 25, 1998, the Company issued $100,000,000 of 7 1/2% Senior Notes
due 2008 ("2008 Notes"). On May 1, 2001, the Company issued $200,000,000 7 1/4%
Senior Notes due 2011 ("2011 Notes"). The 2008 Notes and 2011 Notes are fully
and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by certain direct
wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (collectively "Guarantor Subsidiaries"
and individually "Guarantor"). Each of the guarantees is an unsecured
obligation of the Guarantor and ranks pari passu with the guarantees provided
by and the obligations of such Guarantor Subsidiaries under the Credit
Agreement and with all existing and future unsecured indebtedness of such
Guarantor for borrowed money that is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated
in right of payment to such guarantee.
Senior Credit Agreement
In 1996, the Company entered into a Senior Credit Agreement (the "Credit
Agreement") with a group of lenders which ranks pari passu with all existing
and future senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Credit Agreement
provides for a $130,000,000 advance/term loan facility (the "term loan
facility"), a $100,000,000 revolving credit facility (the "revolving
facility"), and a $5,000,000 agent swingline facility (the "swingline
facility"). At December 31, 2001, the Company paid the remaining balance for
the term loan facility. The revolving facility and swingline facility expired
in August 2001.

New Revolver Facility
On January 30, 2002, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with a
syndicate of banks that provided up to $125.0 million of funds under a
revolving credit facility. The facility expires on January 30, 2005. The
facility is secured by guarantees of material U.S. subsidiaries. The interest
rate on the borrowed portion of the revolver is based on the Company's rating
by S&P and Moody's which at the time of the agreement resulted in an interest
rate of LIBOR + 0.625% or the prime rate. Commitment fees range from 0.1% to
0.25% depending on the Company rating.
Other
Based upon information obtained from a national brokerage company at
December 31, 2001, the fair value of the 2008 Notes was approximately
$103,030,000, and the fair value of the 2011 Notes was $199,960,000. The
carrying value of the Company's other debt, approximates its fair value. Other
debt includes $8,208,583 in promissory notes due to former owners of businesses
acquired who remain employed by the Company.
At December 31, 2001, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of
$13,963,000.
9. Retirement and other Benefit Plans
During the periods reported, substantially all the Company's U.S. employees
were covered by defined contribution retirement plans. The Company also has a
deferred compensation plan for its highly compensated employees to permit
retirement contributions in excess of the statutory limits. Employees may
voluntarily contribute up to 15% of compensation, as defined, to these plans.
The participants' contributions were matched by the Company up to a maximum of
4% of compensation or at the discretion of the Board of Directors, a percentage
of net income. Participants are permitted to invest in a Company stock fund
under these plans. Under these plans, Company contributions were approximately
$5,014,378, $4,721,000, and $6,846,000 in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.
For certain executives, the Company has a supplemental defined benefits plan
providing retirement and death benefits. The plan is unfunded and the net
pension liability was $6,211,550 and $5,917,432 at December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. As a result of the Merger, all participants became fully vested
with full service credit until age 65. In 2001, the plan was amended to include
current executive officers of the Company. Expense under the plan was $430,294,
$1,949,000, and $770,000 in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.
For certain former employees who retired prior to December 31, 1993,
healthcare and life insurance benefits are provided through insurance
companies. In 1993, the Company adopted FASB Statement No 106, "Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." The transition obligation is
being amortized over 20 years. In 2001, the plan was amended to cover current
executive offices of the Company upon their retirement.
The assumed weighted-average annual rate of increase in the per capita cost
of covered benefits is 12.0% for 2001 and is assumed to decrease gradually to
5.0% for 2010 and remain at that level thereafter. The health care cost trend
rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported. For example,
increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in
each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as
of December 31, 2001, by $964,000 and the aggregate of the service and interest
cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 2001 by $58,000.

10. Common Stockholders' Equity
In 2000, the Board of Directors and stockholders approved an amendment to
the amended and restated 1996 Equity Participation Plan increasing the number
of authorized shares of common stock to be granted to officers, key employees
of the Company, and non-employee members of the Board of Directors from
3,450,000 to 7,650,000 shares. Options granted under the plan to key employees
are generally exercisable in installments over three years starting one year
from the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. Options
granted under the plan to non-employee members of the Board of Directors are
exercisable in installments over four year periods starting one year from the
date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. In connection with
the Merger, options outstanding under previous plans will maintain the terms
under which the options were granted. These terms allow options granted to key
employees and non-employee directors to be exercisable in installments from one
to five years starting one year from the date of grant and expire ten years
from the date of grant.

For options granted during 2001, 2000, and 1999, the weighted-average fair
value at date of grant was $13.37, $6.35, and $3.61 per option, respectively.
Assuming that the Company had accounted for its stock-based employee
compensations plans using the alternative fair value method, the Company's pro
forma net income would have been $76,703,000, $16,275,000 and $25,249,000 and
pro forma dilutive earnings per share would have been $0.79, $0.17, and $0.27
for 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.
The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using
a Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for 2001,
2000, and 1999, respectively; risk free interest rates of 5.5%; expected lives
of contracts of 3 to 10 years; and volatility of 52.6 percent, 52.9 percent,
and 54.8 percent.
The Employee Stock Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to purchase
common stock at a price equal to 85% of its fair market value at the lesser of
the beginning or end of a six-month plan period. During the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2001, the Company sold 229,397 shares under this plan.
During 1998, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, at
management's discretion, of $20,000,000 of the Company's common stock. Under
this program, the Company repurchased 1,424,700 shares at a cost of $15,330,000
during 1998.
Stockholder Rights Plan
During 2000, the Company adopted a stockholder rights plan ("Rights Plan").
As part of the Rights Plan, the Company's Board of Directors declared a
dividend distribution of one preferred stock purchase right ("Right") for each
share of the Company's Common Stock outstanding on December 4, 2000 and each
new share issued subsequently.
The rights will become exercisable, with certain exceptions, upon the
earlier to occur of (i) ten days following the announcement that a person or
group has acquired or obtained the right to acquire beneficial ownership of 15%
or more of the Company's Common Stock, or (ii) ten days following the
announcement or commencement of a tender offer which would result in a person
or group beneficially owning 15% or more of the Company's Common Stock.
Once exercisable, each Right will entitle its holder to purchase from the
Company one one-hundredth of a share of a new series of the Company's Preferred
Stock at a price of $75.00. If a person or group (other than L.E. Simmons and
his affiliates) acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock, each Right, once exercisable and excluding any Rights
held by the acquiring person or group, will entitle its holder to purchase
shares of Common Stock of the Company having a market value of two times the
then current exercise price of the Right. In addition, if at any time after
such an acquisition, the Company is acquired in a merger or other business
combination transaction or 50% or more of its consolidated assets or

earning power are sold, each outstanding Right, once exercisable and excluding
any Rights held by the acquiring person or group, will entitle its holder to
purchase shares of Common Stock of the acquiring company having a market value
of two times the then current exercise price of the Right.
Following the acquisition by a person or group of beneficial ownership of
15% or more of the Company's Common Stock and prior to an acquisition of the
Company in a merger or other business combination transaction, a sale of 50% or
more of the Company's consolidated assets or earning power or an acquisition of
50% or more of the Common Stock, the Board of Directors may exchange the Rights
(other than rights held by the acquiring person or group), in whole or in part,
at an exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock per Right.
Prior to the acquisition by a person or group of beneficial ownership of 15%
or more of the Common Stock, the Rights are subject to redemption at the option
of the Board of Directors at a price of $0.01 per Right. The Rights currently
trade with the Company's Common Stock, have no voting or dividend rights and
expire on December 4, 2010.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to legal proceedings for events which arise in the
ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material effect on the results of
operations or financial position of the Company.
The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under operating leases
that expire at various dates through 2049. These leases generally contain
renewal options and require the lessee to pay maintenance, insurance, taxes and
other operating expenses in addition to the minimum annual rentals. Rental
expense related to operating leases approximated $31,210,000, $29,159,000, and
$27,146,000 in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2001, the Company engaged in a court ordered
mediation and as a result recorded a $16,500,000 charge concerning a patent
litigation matter, which has subsequently been settled. In connection with the
Merger in 2000, the Company incurred $26,570,000 of transaction costs during
the following quarters of 2000: $23,596,000 (second quarter), $1,164,000 (third
quarter), and $1,810,000 (fourth quarter). During the fourth quarter of 1999,
the Company and Newpark Resources Inc. ("Newpark") announced that they had
jointly elected to form operational alliances in key market areas rather than
proceed with the proposed merger which was agreed to in June 1999. Transaction
costs and write-offs of $7,808,000 were incurred in the fourth quarter of 1999
related to costs associated with the proposed Newpark merger and the write-off
of the Company's investment in its disposal business which the Company exited
as part of its alliance agreement with Newpark.
