                              SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

           This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed
pursuant to registration rights granted to the selling stockholders under
agreements we entered into in connection with the following:

           o    the acquisition by our Completion and Oilfield Services
                Division of substantially all of the assets of ECD/Northwest,
                Inc.; and

           o    the acquisition by our Drilling Products Division of certain
                of the assets of Texas Pipe Works, Inc.

           Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreements, we will pay all
expenses of registering the shares under the Securities Act of 1933, including
all registration and filing fees, printing expenses and the fees and
disbursements of our counsel and accountants. The agreements also provide that
we will indemnify the selling stockholders against certain civil liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or will contribute to
payments the selling stockholders may be required to make in respect thereof.
The selling stockholders will pay all fees and disbursements of their counsel
and all brokerage fees, commissions and expenses for any shares that they sell.
We expect to withdraw registration of any unsold shares on or shortly after May
27, 2000, when we expect the shares will be eligible for public sale pursuant
to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities
Act of 1933.

           The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of common
stock by each selling stockholder as of October 13, 1999, all of which may be
