SUPERIOR ENERGY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

(1) Basis of Presentation

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission; however, management believes the disclosures which are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Superior Energy Services, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations herein.

The financial information of Superior Energy Services, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 has not been audited. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the periods presented have been included therein. The results of operations for the first six months of the year are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that might be expected for the entire year.

(2) Acquisitions

In August 2010, the Company acquired certain assets (operating as Superior Completion Services) from subsidiaries of Baker Hughes Incorporated (Baker Hughes) for approximately $54.3 million. The assets purchased were used in Baker Hughes’ Gulf of Mexico stimulation and sand control business.

In January 2010, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interest of Hallin Marine Subsea International Plc (Hallin) for approximately $162.3 million. Additionally, the Company repaid approximately $55.5 million of Hallin’s debt. Hallin is an international provider of integrated subsea services and engineering solutions, focused on installing, maintaining and extending the life of subsea wells. Hallin operates in international offshore oil and gas markets with offices and facilities located in Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, Scotland and the United States.

In January 2010, Wild Well Control, Inc. (Wild Well), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired 100% ownership of Shell Offshore, Inc.’s Gulf of Mexico Bullwinkle platform and its related assets, including 29 wells, and assumed the decommissioning obligation for such assets. Immediately after Wild Well acquired these assets, it conveyed an undivided 49% interest in these assets and the related well plugging and abandonment obligations to Dynamic Offshore Resources, LLC (DOR), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dynamic Offshore Holding, LP (DOH), which operates these assets. Additionally, DOR will pay Wild Well to extinguish its 49% portion of the well plugging and abandonment obligation (see note 3).

The Company has no off-balance sheet financing arrangements other than potential additional consideration that may be payable as a result of the future operating performance of certain acquired businesses. At June 30, 2011, the maximum additional consideration payable was approximately $4.0 million and will be determined and payable through 2012. Since these acquisitions occurred before the Company adopted the revised authoritative guidance for business combinations, these amounts are not classified as liabilities and are not reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements until the amounts are fixed and determinable. When these amounts are determined, they will be capitalized as part of the purchase price of the related acquisition.

(3) Long-Term Contracts

In 2010, Wild Well acquired 100% ownership of Shell Offshore, Inc.’s Gulf of Mexico Bullwinkle platform and its related assets, and assumed the related decommissioning obligations. In connection with the subsequent conveyance to DOR of an undivided 49% interest in these assets and the related well plugging and abandonment obligation, DOR will pay Wild Well to extinguish its portion of the well plugging and abandonment obligation, limited to the fair value of the obligation at the time of acquisition. As part of the asset purchase agreement with Shell Offshore, Inc., Wild Well was required to obtain a $50.0 million performance bond, as well as fund $50.0 million into an escrow account.

6

DOR funded its portion of this amount as part of its payment obligation for the well plugging and abandonment. Included in intangible and other long-term assets, net is escrowed cash of $50.1 million and $33.0 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Included in other long-term liabilities is deferred revenue of $24.6 million and $16.2 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively (see note 2).

The Company has a contract to perform well abandonment and decommissioning work associated with oil and gas properties owned and operated by SPN Resources, LLC (SPN Resources). This contract consists of numerous, separate billable jobs estimated to be performed through 2022. In March 2011, the Company contributed its equity interest in SPN Resources and DBH, LLC (DBH) in exchange for a 10% limited partnership interest in DOH (see note 7) and modified the terms of this contract.

In December 2007, Wild Well entered into contractual arrangements pursuant to which it decommissioned seven downed oil and gas platforms and related well facilities located offshore in the Gulf of Mexico for a fixed sum of $750 million, which is payable in installments upon the completion of specified portions of work. The contract contains certain covenants primarily related to Wild Well’s performance of the work. As of June 30, 2011, all work was complete, pending certain regulatory approvals. The revenue related to the contract for decommissioning these downed platforms and well facilities was recorded on the percentage-of-completion method utilizing costs incurred as a percentage of total estimated costs. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were $129.7 million and $144.5 million of costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings related to this contract included in other current assets.

(4) Stock-Based Compensation and Retirement Plans

The Company maintains various stock incentive plans that provide long-term incentives to the Company’s key employees, including officers, directors, consultants and advisors (Eligible Participants). Under the incentive plans, the Company may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, other stock-based awards or any combination thereof to Eligible Participants. In connection with the transition of executive management in the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company issued approximately 1,019,000 of non-qualified stock options, approximately 177,000 shares of restricted stock and approximately 30,000 performance share units. Additionally, vesting of certain grants was accelerated to coincide with the terms of the change in executive management.

Stock Options

The Company has issued non-qualified stock options under its stock incentive plans. The options generally vest in equal installments over three years and expire in ten years. Non-vested options are generally forfeited upon termination of employment. The Company’s compensation expense related to stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $1.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively, which is reflected in general and administrative expenses.

7

Restricted Stock

The Company has issued shares of restricted stock under its stock incentive plans. Shares of restricted stock generally vest in equal annual installments over three years. Non-vested shares are generally forfeited upon the termination of employment. Holders of shares of restricted stock are entitled to all rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the restricted stock, including the right to vote the shares and receive any dividends or other distributions. The Company’s compensation expense related to restricted stock for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $2.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively, which is reflected in general and administrative expenses.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company has issued restricted stock units (RSUs) to its non-employee directors under its stock incentive plans. Annually, each non-employee director is issued a number of RSUs having an aggregate dollar value determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. An RSU represents the right to receive from the Company, within 30 days of the date the director ceases to serve on the Board, one share of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s expense related to RSUs for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, which is reflected in general and administrative expenses.

Performance Share Units

The Company has issued performance share units (PSUs) to its employees as part of the Company’s long-term incentive program. There is a three year performance period associated with each PSU grant. The two performance measures applicable to all participants are the Company’s return on invested capital and total stockholder return relative to those of the Company’s pre-defined “peer group.” If the participant has met specified continued service requirements, the PSUs will settle in cash or a combination of cash and up to 50% of equivalent value in the Company’s common stock, at the discretion of the compensation committee. The Company’s compensation expense related to all outstanding PSUs for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $2.4 million and $4.3 million, respectively, which is reflected in general and administrative expenses. The Company has recorded a current liability of approximately $3.5 million and $6.0 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, for outstanding PSUs, which is reflected in accrued expenses. Additionally, the Company has recorded a long-term liability of approximately $6.3 million and $7.0 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, for outstanding PSUs, which is reflected in other long-term liabilities. During the six month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company paid approximately $2.8 million and issued approximately 67,300 shares of its common stock to settle PSUs for the performance period ended December 31, 2010. During the six month period ended June 30, 2010, the Company paid approximately $6.4 million to its employees to settle PSUs for the performance period ending December 31, 2009.

Employee Stock Purchase Plans

The Company has employee stock purchase plans under which an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance. Under these stock purchase plans, eligible employees can purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount. The Company received approximately $1.2 million and $1.1 million and issued approximately 38,000 shares and 57,000 shares under these plans for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For each six month period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded compensation expense of approximately $0.2 million, which is reflected in general and administrative expenses.

8

Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan which allows certain highly compensated employees to defer up to 75% of their base salary, up to 100% of their bonus, and up to 100% of the cash portion of their PSU compensation to the plan. The Company also has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for its non-employee directors which allows each director to defer up to 100% of their cash compensation paid by the Company to the plan. Additionally, participating directors may defer up to 100% of the shares of common stock they are entitled to receive in connection with the payout of RSUs. Under each plan, payments are made to participants based on their annual enrollment elections and plan balance. Participants earn a return on their deferred compensation that is based on hypothetical investments in certain mutual funds. Changes in market value of these hypothetical participant investments are reflected as an adjustment to the deferred compensation liability of the Company with an offset to compensation expense (see note 16).

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

The Company has a supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP). The SERP provides retirement benefits to the Company’s executive officers and certain other designated key employees. The SERP is an unfunded, non-qualified defined contribution retirement plan, and all contributions under the plan are unfunded credits to a notional account maintained for each participant. Under the SERP, the Company will generally make annual contributions to a retirement account based on age and years of service. The Company may also make discretionary contributions to a participant’s account. The Company recorded compensation expense of approximately $0.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. The Company recorded compensation expense of approximately $5.2 million, inclusive of a discretionary contribution to the account of its chief operating officer in the amount of $4.7 million as part of its executive management transition, for the six month period ended June 30, 2010. This compensation expense is recorded in general and administrative expenses in each of the respective periods.

(5) Short-Term Investments

The Company’s short-term investments consist of U.S. treasury bills and notes that are issued by the U.S. government, all of which are accounted for as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value with the unrealized holding gains and losses included in net income. Included in interest expense, net is $0.2 million of income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 related to this trading portfolio. The Company intends to use these funds along with $145.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, that have been segregated and dedicated, for a total of $310.1 million to partially fund the redemption of the $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of all of the outstanding 1.50% senior exchangeable notes due 2026. The 1.50% senior exchangeable notes become subject to redemption on December 15, 2011 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the notes outstanding (see note 8).

(6) Inventory and Other Current Assets

Inventory and other current assets includes approximately $69.6 million and $70.0 million of inventory at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Our inventory balance at June 30, 2011 consisted of approximately $29.1 million of finished goods, $1.0 million of work-in-process, $2.9 million of raw materials and $36.6 million of supplies and consumables. Our inventory balance at December 31, 2010 consisted of approximately $31.4 million of finished goods, $1.4 million of work-in-process, $2.2 million of raw materials and $35.0 million of supplies and consumables. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on an average cost basis for finished goods and work-in-process. Supplies and consumables consist principally of products used in our services provided to customers.

Additionally, inventory and other current assets include approximately $133.5 million and $146.9 million of costs incurred and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The Company follows the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for applicable contracts. Accordingly, income is recognized in the ratio that costs incurred bears to estimated total costs. Adjustments to cost estimates are made periodically, and losses expected to be incurred on contracts in progress are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined.

(7) Equity-Method Investments

Investments in entities that are not controlled by the Company, but where the Company has the ability to exercise influence over the operations, are accounted for using the equity-method. The Company’s share of the income or losses of these entities is reflected as earnings from equity-method investments on its condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In March 2011, the Company contributed all of its equity interests in SPN Resources and DBH to DOH, the majority owner of both SPN Resources and DBH, in exchange for a 10% limited partnership interest in DOH. Following these contributions, DOH owns all the equity interests of SPN Resources and DBH. Prior to these contributions, the Company accounted for its equity interests in SPN Resources and DBH as separate equity-method investments. The Company’s equity interest in DOH is accounted for as an equity-method investment with a balance of approximately $61.5 million at June 30, 2011. The Company recorded income from its equity-method investment in DOH of approximately $4.2 million for the four months ended June 30, 2011 following the contributions. The Company, where possible and at competitive rates, provides its products and services to assist DOH in producing and developing its oil and gas properties. The Company had a receivable from DOH of approximately $10.8 million at June 30, 2011. The Company also recorded revenue from DOH of approximately $15.6 million for the four months ended June 30, 2011 following the contributions. Additionally, the Company has a receivable from DOR of approximately $7.4 million as of June 30, 2011 related to its share of oil and natural gas commodity sales and production handling arrangement fees.

The Company recorded earnings from its equity-method investment in SPN Resources of approximately $0.2 million for the two months ended February 28, 2011 prior to the contributions and approximately $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Additionally, the Company received approximately $7.5 million of cash distributions from its equity-method investment in SPN Resources for the six month period ended June 30, 2010. The Company, where possible and at competitive rates, provides its products and services to assist SPN Resources in producing and developing its oil and gas properties. The Company had a receivable from SPN Resources of approximately $3.2 million at December 31, 2010. The Company also recorded revenue from SPN Resources of approximately $0.3 million for the two months ended February 28, 2011 and approximately $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded earnings from its equity-method investment in DBH of approximately $3.7 million. The Company, where possible and at competitive rates, provides its products and services to assist DBH in producing and developing its oil and gas properties. The Company had a receivable from DBH of approximately $1.4 million at December 31, 2010. The Company also recorded revenue from DBH of approximately $0.9 million for the two months ended February 28, 2011 and approximately $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

(8) Debt

The Company has a $400 million revolving credit facility, with the right, at the Company’s option and subject to certain conditions, to increase the borrowing capacity of the facility to $550 million. Any amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are due on July 20, 2014. At June 30, 2011, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, but had letters of credit outstanding of approximately $6.9 million, which reduce the Company’s borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility. Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus margins that depend on the Company’s leverage ratio. Indebtedness under the revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, including the pledge of the stock of the Company’s principal domestic subsidiaries. The revolving credit facility contains customary events of default and requires that the Company satisfy various financial covenants. It also limits the Company’s ability to pay dividends or make other distributions, make acquisitions, make changes to the Company’s capital structure, create liens or incur additional indebtedness. At June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

10

At June 30, 2011, the Company had outstanding $13.0 million in U.S. Government guaranteed long-term financing under Title XI of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, which is administered by the Maritime Administration, for two 245-foot class liftboats. The debt bears interest at 6.45% per annum and is payable in equal semi-annual installments of $405,000 on June 3^rd and December 3^rd of each year through the maturity date of June 3, 2027. The Company’s obligations are secured by mortgages on the two liftboats. In accordance with the agreement, the Company is required to comply with certain covenants and restrictions, including the maintenance of minimum net worth, working capital and debt-to-equity requirements. At June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

The Company also has outstanding $300 million of 6 7/8% unsecured senior notes due 2014. The indenture governing the 6 7/8% senior notes requires semi-annual interest payments on June 1^st and December 1^st of each year through the maturity date of June 1, 2014. The indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company from incurring additional debt, repurchasing capital stock, paying dividends or making other distributions, incurring liens, selling assets or entering into certain mergers or acquisitions. At June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

In March 2010, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $150 million, whereby the Company is entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments at a fixed rate of 6 7/8% per annum and is obligated to make quarterly interest payments at a variable rate. The variable interest rate, which is adjusted every 90 days, is based on LIBOR plus a fixed margin (see note 17).

The Company has outstanding $400 million of 1.50% unsecured senior exchangeable notes due 2026. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company retrospectively adopted authoritative guidance related to debt with conversion and other options, which requires the proceeds from the issuance of the 1.50% unsecured senior exchangeable notes to be allocated between a liability (issued at a discount) and an equity component. The resulting debt discount is amortized over the period the exchangeable debt is expected to be outstanding as additional non-cash interest expense. The Company used an effective interest rate of 6.89% and will amortize this debt discount through December 12, 2011. The Company has recorded an unamortized discount of $9.6 million and $19.7 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, related to these senior exchangeable notes. The senior exchangeable notes bear interest at a rate of 1.50% per annum and decrease to 1.25% per annum on December 15, 2011. Interest on the senior exchangeable notes is payable semi-annually on December 15^th and June 15^th of each year through the maturity date of December 15, 2026. The senior exchangeable notes do not contain any restrictive financial covenants.

Under certain circumstances, holders may exchange the notes for shares of the Company’s common stock. The initial exchange rate is 21.9414 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes. This is equal to an initial exchange price of $45.58 per share. The exchange price represents a 35% premium over the closing share price at the date of issuance. The notes may be exchanged under the following circumstances:

• during any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock is greater than or equal to 135% of the applicable exchange price of the notes for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter;

• prior to December 15, 2011, during the five business-day period after any ten consecutive trading-day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price of $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day in the measurement period was less than 95% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the exchange rate on such trading day;

• if the notes have been called for redemption;

• upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions; or

• at any time beginning on September 15, 2026, and ending at the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date of December 15, 2026.

Holders of the senior exchangeable notes may also require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their notes on December 15, 2011, December 15, 2016 and December 15, 2021 subject to certain administrative formalities. Conversely, on or after December 15, 2011 the Company may redeem at any time all or part of the notes. In each case, the purchase price payable will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest with all amounts payable in cash.

11

In connection with the senior exchangeable note transaction, the Company simultaneously entered into agreements with affiliates of the initial purchasers to purchase call options and sell warrants on its common stock. The Company may exercise the call options it purchased at any time to acquire approximately 8.8 million shares of its common stock at a strike price of $45.58 per share. The owners of the warrants may exercise the warrants to purchase from the Company approximately 8.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $59.42 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution and other customary adjustments. The warrants may be settled, at the Company’s option, in cash, in common stock or in a combination of cash and common stock. Lehman Brothers OTC Derivatives, Inc. (LBOTC) is the counterparty to 50% of the Company’s call option and warrant transactions. In October 2008, LBOTC filed for bankruptcy protection. The Company continues to carefully monitor the developments affecting LBOTC. Although the Company may not retain the benefit of the call option due to LBOTC’s bankruptcy, the Company does not expect that there will be a material impact, if any, on the financial statements or results of operations. The call option and warrant transactions described above do not affect the terms of the outstanding exchangeable notes.

In April 2011, the Company issued $500 million of 6 3/8% unsecured senior notes due 2019. Costs associated with the issuance of these notes were approximately $9.6 million and were capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the 6 3/8% senior notes. The indenture governing the 6 3/8% senior notes requires semi-annual interest payments on May 1^st and November 1^st of each year through the maturity date of May 1, 2019. The indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company from incurring additional debt, repurchasing capital stock, paying dividends or making other distributions, incurring liens, selling assets or entering into certain mergers or acquisitions. At June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

The Company has the ability to redeem its $400 million 1.50% unsecured senior exchangeable notes on or after December 15, 2011 for 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of its 6 3/8% unsecured senior notes to redeem all of the outstanding senior exchangeable notes. The remaining net proceeds are available for general corporate purposes. In the interim, the Company used a portion of the proceeds to pay down all of its outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The remaining portions of the proceeds are included in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2011 (see note 5).

As the holders of the Company’s 1.50% senior exchangeable notes have the ability to require the Company to purchase all of the notes on December 15, 2011, the entire amount of these notes would have been deemed to be a current liability at December 31, 2010. However, in accordance with accounting guidance related to classification of short-term debt that is to be refinanced, the Company utilized the amount available to it under its revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2010 of approximately $216.0 million to classify this portion as long-term under the assumption that the revolving credit facility could be used to refinance that portion of the debt. Following completion of the 6 3/8% senior note offering in April 2011, the Company classified the $400 million senior exchangeable notes as current debt at June 30, 2011.

(9) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that could have been outstanding assuming the exercise of stock options and restricted stock units and the potential shares that would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share.

Stock options of approximately 190,000 and 1,810,000 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately 190,000 and 1,310,000 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

In connection with the Company’s outstanding 1.50% unsecured senior exchangeable notes, there could be a dilutive effect on earnings per share if the price of the Company’s stock exceeds the initial exchange price of $45.58 per share for a specified period of time. In the event the Company’s common stock exceeds $45.58 per share for a specified period of time, the first $1.00 the price exceeds $45.58 would cause a dilutive effect of approximately

12

188,400 shares. The impact on the calculation of earnings per share varies depending on when during the quarter the $45.58 per share price is reached.

(11) Decommissioning Liabilities

In connection with the acquisition of the Bullwinkle platform and its related assets, the Company records estimated future decommissioning liabilities in accordance with the authoritative guidance related to asset retirement obligations (decommissioning liabilities), which requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred, with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Subsequent to initial measurement, the decommissioning liability is required to be accreted each period to present value. The Company’s decommissioning liabilities associated with the Bullwinkle platform and its related assets consist of costs related to the plugging of wells, the removal of the related facilities and equipment, and site restoration.

Whenever practical, the Company utilizes its own equipment and labor services to perform well abandonment and decommissioning work. When the Company performs these services, all recorded intercompany revenues and related costs of services are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The recorded decommissioning liability associated with a specific property is fully extinguished when the property is abandoned. The recorded liability is first reduced by all cash expenses incurred to abandon and decommission the property. If the recorded liability exceeds (or is less than) the Company’s total costs, then the difference is reported as income (or loss) within revenue during the period in which the work is performed. The Company reviews the adequacy of its decommissioning liabilities whenever indicators suggest that the estimated cash flows needed to satisfy the liability have changed materially. The timing and amounts of these expenditures are estimates, and changes to these estimates may result in additional (or decreased) liabilities recorded, which in turn would increase (or decrease) the carrying values of the related assets. The Company reviews its estimates for the timing of these expenditures on a quarterly basis.

Long-term decommissioning liabilities, June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively	$	103,880	$	107,686

(12) Notes Receivable

Notes receivable consists of a commitment from the seller of certain assets to pay the Company upon the decommissioning of the Bullwinkle platform. These notes are recorded at present value, and the related discount is amortized to interest income based on the expected timing of the platform’s removal.

(13) Gain on Sale of Businesses

During the six month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company sold seven liftboats for approximately $22.3 million, net of commissions. Five of the liftboats sold were from our 145 to 155-foot class fleet, one was from our 160-foot class fleet and one was from our 200-foot class fleet. As a result of the sale of these liftboats, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $8.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011.

(14) Segment Information

Business Segments

The Company has three reportable segments: subsea and well enhancement, drilling products and services, and marine. The subsea and well enhancement segment provides production-related services used to enhance, extend and maintain oil and gas production, which include integrated subsea services and engineering solutions, mechanical wireline, hydraulic workover and snubbing, well control, coiled tubing, electric line, pumping and stimulation and well bore evaluation services; well plug and abandonment services; stimulation and sand control equipment and services; and other oilfield services used to support drilling and production operations. The subsea and well enhancement segment also includes production handling arrangements, as well as the production and sale of oil and gas. The drilling products and services segment rents and sells stabilizers, drill pipe, tubulars and specialized equipment for use with onshore and offshore oil and gas well drilling, completion, production and workover activities. It also provides on-site accommodations and bolting and machining services. The marine segment operates liftboats for production service activities, as well as oil and gas production facility maintenance, construction operations and platform removals.

Geographic Segments

The Company attributes revenue to various countries based on the location where services are performed or the destination of the drilling products or equipment sold or leased. Long-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment and are attributed to various countries based on the physical location of the asset at the end of a period. The Company’s information by geographic area is as follows (in thousands):

(15) Guarantee

As part of SPN Resources’ acquisition of its oil and gas properties while a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company guaranteed SPN Resources’ performance of its decommissioning liabilities. These guarantees remain in place. In accordance with authoritative guidance related to guarantees, the Company has assigned an estimated value of $2.6 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 related to decommissioning performance guarantees, which is reflected in other long-term liabilities. The Company believes that the likelihood

16

of being required to perform these guarantees is remote. In the unlikely event that SPN Resources defaults on the decommissioning liabilities, the total maximum potential obligation under these guarantees is estimated to be approximately $109.2 million, net of the contractual right to receive payments from third parties, which is approximately $24.6 million as of June 30, 2011. The total maximum potential obligation will decrease over time as the underlying obligations are fulfilled by SPN Resources.

(16) Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements relating to financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities, including presentation of required disclosures herein. This guidance establishes a fair value framework requiring the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets and liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1 such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets; or model-derived valuations or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

The following tables provide a summary of the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

The Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plans allow officers, certain highly compensated employees and non-employee directors to defer receipt of a portion of their compensation and contribute such amounts to one or more hypothetical investment funds (see note 4). The Company entered into separate trust agreements, subject to general creditors, to segregate assets of each plan and reports the accounts of the trusts in its condensed consolidated financial statements. These investments are reported at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identifiable assets and observable inputs for similar assets and liabilities, which represent Levels 1 and 2, respectively, in the fair value hierarchy. The realized and unrealized holding gains and losses related to non-qualified deferred compensation assets are recorded in interest expense, net. The realized and unrealized holding gains and losses related to non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities are recorded in general and administrative expenses.

In March 2010, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $150 million, whereby the Company is entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments at a fixed rate of 6 7/8% per annum and is obligated to make quarterly interest payments at a floating rate, which is adjusted every 90 days, based on LIBOR plus a fixed margin. The Company entered into the interest rate swap agreement in an effort to achieve a more balanced debt portfolio by targeting an overall desired position of fixed and floating interest rates. The swap agreement, scheduled to terminate on June 1, 2014, is designated as a fair value hedge of a portion of the 6 7/8% unsecured senior notes, as the derivative has been tested to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the underlying note. As this derivative is classified as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative are offset against the changes in the fair value of the underlying note in interest expense, net (see note 17).

The fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents, accounts receivable and current maturities of long-term debt approximates their carrying amounts. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was approximately $1,212.4 million and $902.5 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of these debt instruments is determined by reference to the market value of the instrument as quoted in an over-the-counter market.

(17) Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company manages its debt portfolio by targeting an overall desired position of fixed and floating rates and may employ interest rate swaps from time to time to achieve its goal. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

In March 2010, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $150 million related to its fixed rate debt maturing in 2014. This transaction was designated as a fair value hedge since the swap hedges against the change in fair value of fixed rate debt resulting from changes in interest rates. The Company’s derivative agreement includes a credit risk-related contingent feature whereby the counterparty is allowed to terminate the transaction following the occurrence of a default on certain of the Company’s indebtedness. The Company recorded a derivative asset of $0.9 million and $0.2 million within intangible and other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively (see note 8). The change in fair value of the interest rate swap is included in the adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The location and effect of the derivative instrument on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, presented on a pre-tax basis, is as follows (in thousands):

	Location of	Amount of (gain) loss recognized
	(gain) loss	Three Months Ended			Three Months Ended
	recognized	June 30, 2011			June 30, 2010
Interest rate swap	Interest expense, net	$	(636	)	$	(2,630	)
Hedged item — debt	Interest expense, net		270			2,380
		$	(366	)	$	(250	)
	Location of	Amount of (gain) loss recognized
	(gain) loss	Six Months Ended			Six Months Ended
	recognized	June 30, 2011			June 30, 2010
Interest rate swap	Interest expense, net	$	(120	)	$	(1,515	)
Hedged item — debt	Interest expense, net		(621	)		1,888
		$	(741	)	$	373

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, approximately $0.7 million of interest income and $0.4 million of interest expense, respectively, was related to the ineffectiveness associated with this fair value hedge. Hedge ineffectiveness represents the difference between the changes in fair value of the derivative instruments and the changes in fair value of the fixed rate debt attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate.

(18) Income Taxes

The Company follows authoritative guidance surrounding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and applicable penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company had approximately $24.8 million of unrecorded tax benefits at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, all of which would impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.

In addition to its U.S. federal tax return, the Company files income tax returns in various state and foreign jurisdictions. The number of years that are open under the statute of limitations and subject to audit varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. The Company remains subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years after 2006.

(19) Commitments and Contingencies

Due to the nature of the Company’s business, the Company is involved, from time to time, in routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims regarding our business activities. Legal costs related to these matters are expensed as incurred. In management’s opinion, none of the pending litigation, disputes or claims is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

(20) Subsequent Events

In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company has evaluated and disclosed all material subsequent events that occurred after the balance sheet date, but before financial statements were issued.

(21) Financial Information Related to Guarantor Subsidiaries

In April 2011, SESI, L.L.C. (Issuer), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Superior Energy Services, Inc. (Parent), issued $500 million of unsecured 6 3/8% senior notes due 2019. The Parent, along with substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries, fully and unconditionally guaranteed the senior notes, and such guarantees are joint and several. All of the guarantor subsidiaries are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Issuer. Domestic income taxes are paid by the Parent through a consolidated tax return and are accounted for by the Parent. The following tables present the condensed consolidating balance sheets as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and the condensed consolidating statements of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Executive Summary

During the second quarter of 2011, revenue was $510.8 million, a quarterly record, and income from operations was $86.1 million, net income was $48.1 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.59. Included in the results for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was a pre-tax gain of $5.9 million from the sale of liftboats.

Our financial performance improved significantly as compared with the first quarter of 2011 due to record revenue in the U.S. land market and international market areas coupled with seasonal increases in demand for shallow water Gulf of Mexico intervention services and the modest resumption of drilling in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. Our U.S. land revenue was approximately $198 million, an 11% sequential increase as compared with a 6% increase in the average number of drilling rigs working in the U.S. land market during the period. International revenue increased 33% sequentially to approximately $138 million, and Gulf of Mexico revenue increased sequentially 33% to approximately $175 million.

Subsea and well enhancement segment revenue was $336.0 million, a 28% increase from the first quarter of 2011, and income from operations was $50.9 million, a 363% increase from the first quarter of 2011. Our Gulf of Mexico revenue from this segment increased 32% to approximately $111 million sequentially with some of the largest increases coming from completion services and intervention services such as coiled tubing, wireline and snubbing. We benefitted from seasonal factors, including improved weather, as well as the resumption of deepwater completion activity. International revenue was approximately $94 million, which represents a sequential increase of 52%. We experienced much higher utilization for vessels performing subsea inspection, repair and maintenance work. In addition, we had large increases in pressure control-related projects and snubbing services. U.S. land revenue increased 13% sequentially to approximately $131 million. Our coiled tubing business grew another 10% during the quarter. We also experienced increases in pressure control, wireline and remedial pumping services. Income from

29

operations as a percentage of revenue increased to 15.1% from 4.2% in the first quarter of 2011 due to the sharp revenue increase.

In our drilling products and services segment, revenue was $149.2 million, a 16% increase as compared with the first quarter of 2011, and income from operations was $29.7 million, a 37% increase from the first quarter of 2011. Gulf of Mexico revenue increased 53% to approximately $39 million from the first quarter of 2011 due to an increase in the rentals of drill pipe and stabilization equipment, as the market experienced higher drilling and completion activity in both the shallow and deep water areas. U.S. land revenue increased 7% sequentially to approximately $68 million as a result of increased demand for accommodations and bottom hole assemblies. Revenue from the international market areas increased 7% sequentially to approximately $42 million primarily due to increased rentals of stabilization equipment in Brazil and premium drill pipe and accessories in Colombia. Our income from operations as a percentage of revenue increased to 19.9% from 16.9% in the first quarter of 2011.

In our marine segment, revenue increased 8% sequentially to $25.6 million. Income from operations was $5.6 million, a 44% increase over the first quarter of 2011. The second quarter 2011 income from operations includes a $5.9 million gain on the sale of four liftboats, while the first quarter 2011 income from operations includes a $2.7 million gain on the sale of three liftboats. Utilization of our liftboats increased to 70% from 57% in the first quarter of 2011 as a result of seasonal increases in demand. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue was higher due to increased repair and maintenance expenses for three liftboats. In addition, we had greater-than-anticipated downtime and inspection costs for two of our larger liftboats, which has the adverse effect of taking two highly profitable liftboats out of the fleet while incurring incremental expenses.

Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, our revenues were $510.8 million, resulting in net income of $48.1 million, or $0.59 diluted earnings per share. Included in the results for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was a pre-tax gain of $5.9 million from the sale of liftboats. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, revenues were $424.9 million and net income was $24.1 million, or $0.30 diluted earnings per share. Included in the results for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were pre-tax management transition expenses of $16.4 million. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were higher in the subsea and well enhancement segment due to the prior year acquisition of Superior Completion Services coupled with increases in demand for subsea inspection, repair and maintenance services and intervention services such as coiled tubing, wireline and snubbing, specifically in the U.S. land market area. Revenue also increased in the drilling products and services segment primarily due to increased demand for premium drill pipe, stabilization equipment and accommodation units. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, revenue in our marine segment increased as our 265-foot class liftboats, taken out of service for repairs in the fourth quarter of 2009, returned to work in the fourth quarter of 2010.

The following table compares our operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands). Cost of services excludes depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion for each of our business segments.

The following provides a discussion of our results on a segment basis:

Subsea and Well Enhancement Segment

Revenue from our subsea and well enhancement segment was $336.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared with $284.4 million for the same period in 2010. The cost of services percentage decreased slightly to 58% of segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 59% for the same period in 2010. This segment’s revenue increase is attributable to increased activity in both the U.S. land market area and international market areas. Revenue from our U.S. land market area increased approximately 55% as demand

30

increased for most of the product service lines in this segment with some of the largest increases coming from coiled tubing, wireline and well control services. Revenue from our international market areas increased approximately 32% primarily due to increases in well control services and subsea inspection, repair and maintenance activity. Revenue from our Gulf of Mexico market area decreased approximately 14% as much of the work we performed supporting response efforts on the Macondo oil spill concluded in the early part of the fourth quarter 2010. Additionally, our large-scale decommissioning project was completed in the third quarter of 2010, pending certain regulatory approvals. This decrease was partially offset by increased coiled tubing, wireline and hydraulic workover and snubbing services as well as the acquisition of Superior Completion Services, which offers completion tools and stimulation services.

Drilling Products and Services Segment

Revenue from our drilling products and services segment for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $149.2 million, as compared to $121.3 million for the same period in 2010. Cost of rentals and sales as a percentage of revenue increased to 38% of segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 36% for the same period in 2010. Revenue in our U.S. land market area increased approximately 90% for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 over the same period in 2010. The increase in revenue for this geographic market area is primarily related to an increase in rentals of accommodation units, stabilization equipment and specialty tubulars. Revenue generated from our international market areas increased approximately 8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to an increase in demand for premium drill pipe. Revenue from our Gulf of Mexico market area decreased approximately 15% due to a sharp decline in deepwater drilling activities following the Macondo oil spill and the subsequent drilling moratorium, which was lifted during the fourth quarter of 2010.

Marine Segment

Our marine segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $25.6 million, a 34% increase over the same period in 2010. Our cost of services percentage decreased to 80% of segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 95% for the same period in 2010 primarily due to the increase in revenue from our 265-foot class fleet, which typically generates our highest dayrates. These vessels returned to service in the fourth quarter of 2010. Due to the high fixed cost nature of this segment, cost of services does not fluctuate proportionately with revenue. The fleet’s average utilization increased to approximately 70% for the second quarter of 2011 from 62% in the same period in 2010. Additionally, the fleet’s average dayrate increased to approximately $16,900 for the second quarter of 2011 from $12,500 in the same period in 2010.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion

Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion increased to $63.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $54.3 million for the same period in 2010. Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense related to our subsea and well enhancement segment for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased approximately $4.4 million, or 19%, from the same period in 2010. This increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Superior Completion Services, along with 2010 and 2011 capital expenditures. Depreciation and amortization expense also increased within our drilling products and services segment by $4.4 million, or 16%, from the same period in 2010 due to 2010 and 2011 capital expenditures.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased to $95.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $92.5 million for the same period in 2010, which included pre-tax management transition expenses of $16.4 million. The increase is primarily related to our acquisition of Superior Completion Services, increased compensation based on improved performance and additional infrastructure to support our growth strategy.

Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, our revenues were $924.8 million, resulting in net income of $63.6 million, or $0.79 diluted earnings per share. Included in the results for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was a pre-tax gain of $8.6 million from the sale of seven liftboats. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, revenues were $789.4 million and net income was $45.6 million, or $0.57 diluted earnings per share. Included in the results for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were pre-tax management transition expenses of $16.4 million.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were higher in the subsea and well enhancement segment due to the prior year acquisitions coupled with increases in demand for intervention services such as coiled tubing, wireline and snubbing, specifically in the U.S. land market area. Revenue also increased in the drilling products and services segment primarily due to increased demand for stabilization equipment and accommodation units in our U.S. land market area. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, revenue in our marine segment increased as our 265-foot class liftboats, taken out of service for repairs in the fourth quarter of 2009, returned to work in the fourth quarter of 2010.

The following table compares our operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands). Cost of services excludes depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion for each of our business segments.

The following provides a discussion of our results on a segment basis:

Subsea and Well Enhancement Segment

Revenue from our subsea and well enhancement segment was $598.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared with $517.1 million for the same period in 2010. Cost of services remained relatively constant at 61% of segment revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. This segment’s revenue increase is attributable to increased activity in both the U.S. land market area and international market areas. Revenue from our U.S. land market area increased approximately 64% as demand increased for most of the product service lines in this segment, with some of the largest increases coming from coiled tubing, wireline and well control services. Revenue from our international market areas increased approximately 14% primarily due to increases in well control services and inspection, repair and maintenance activity. Revenue from our Gulf of Mexico market area decreased approximately 15% as much of the work we performed supporting response efforts on the Macondo oil spill concluded in the early part of the fourth quarter 2010. Additionally, our large-scale decommissioning project was completed in the third quarter of 2010, pending certain regulatory approvals. This decrease was partially offset by increased coiled tubing, wireline and hydraulic workover and snubbing services as well as our acquisition of Superior Completion Services, which offers completion tools and stimulation services.

Drilling Products and Services Segment

Revenue from our drilling products and services segment for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $277.4 million, as compared to $235.6 million for the same period in 2010. Cost of rentals and sales as a percentage of revenue remained relatively constant at 37% of segment revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. Revenue in our U.S. land market area more than doubled for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 over the same period in 2010. The increase in revenue for the U.S. land market area is primarily related to an increase in rentals of accommodation units and stabilization equipment. Revenue generated from our international market areas increased approximately 4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 due to an increase in demand for premium drill pipe. Revenue from our Gulf of Mexico

32

market area decreased approximately 31% due to a sharp decline in deepwater drilling activities following the Macondo oil spill and the subsequent drilling moratorium, which was lifted during the fourth quarter of 2010.

Marine Segment

Our marine segment revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $49.3 million, a 34% increase over the same period in 2010. Our cost of services as a percentage of revenue decreased to 75% of segment revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 94% for the same period in 2010 primarily due to the increase in revenue from our 265-foot class fleet, which typically generates our highest dayrates. These vessels returned to service in the fourth quarter of 2010. Due to the high fixed cost nature of this segment, cost of services does not fluctuate proportionately with revenue. The fleet’s average utilization increased to approximately 63% for the first half of 2011 from 51% in the same period in 2010. Additionally, the fleet’s average dayrate increased to approximately $16,500 for the first half of 2011 from $13,500 in the same period in 2010.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion

Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion increased to $122.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $105.3 million for the same period in 2010. Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense related to our subsea and well enhancement segment for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased approximately $9.7 million, or 22%, from the same period in 2010. This increase is primarily due to the acquisitions of Superior Completion Services and Hallin, along with 2010 and 2011 capital expenditures. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased within our drilling products and services segment by $6.7 million, or 12%, from the same period in 2010 due to 2010 and 2011 capital expenditures.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased to $182.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $163.3 million for the same period in 2010, which included pre-tax management transition expenses of $16.4 million. The increase is primarily related to our acquisition of Superior Completion Services, increased compensation based on improved performance and additional infrastructure to support our growth strategy.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In the six months ended June 30, 2011, we generated net cash from operating activities of $228.0 million as compared to $257.1 million in the same period of 2010. Our primary liquidity needs are for working capital and to fund capital expenditures, debt service and acquisitions. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We had cash and cash equivalents of $244.1 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $50.7 million at December 31, 2010. The increase in cash is primarily due to the recent offering of our $500 million of 6³/₈% unsecured senior notes. At June 30, 2011, approximately $53.7 million of our cash balance was held outside the United States. Cash balances held in foreign jurisdictions could be repatriated to the United States; however, they would be subject to United States federal income taxes, less applicable foreign tax credits. The Company has not provided United States income tax expense on earnings of its foreign subsidiaries because it expects to reinvest the undistributed earnings indefinitely.

Additionally, we had $164.2 million in short-term investments as of June 30, 2011. These funds are invested in mutual funds and U.S. Treasury bills, notes and repurchase agreements that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. Included in cash and equivalents at June 30, 2011 is approximately $145.9 million that has been segregated and dedicated to partially fund the redemption of all our $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.50% senior exchangeable notes due 2026. As such, we had $310.1 million at June 30, 2011 available for the redemption of our 1.50% senior exchangeable notes, which become redeemable at our election on December 15, 2011 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the notes outstanding.

We spent $216.7 million of cash on capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Approximately $96.6 million was used to expand and maintain our drilling products and services equipment inventory and approximately $118.6 million was used to expand and maintain the asset base of our subsea and well enhancement

segment. Approximately one quarter of the capital expenditures within our subsea and well enhancement segment was related to the construction of our compact semi-submersible vessel, which is expected to be delivered in 2012.

We have a $400 million revolving credit facility, with the right, at our option and subject to certain conditions, to increase the borrowing capacity of the facility to $550 million. Any amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are due on July 20, 2014. At June 30, 2011, we had no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, but we had approximately $6.9 million of letters of credit outstanding, which reduce our borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus margins that depend on our leverage ratio. At July 28, 2011, we had no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, and we had approximately $8.0 million of letters of credit outstanding. Indebtedness under the revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets, including the pledge of the stock of our principal domestic subsidiaries. The revolving credit facility contains customary events of default and requires that we satisfy various financial covenants. It also limits our ability to pay dividends or make other distributions, make acquisitions, create liens or incur additional indebtedness.

At June 30, 2011, we had outstanding $13.0 million in U.S. Government guaranteed long-term financing under Title XI of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, which is administered by the Maritime Administration (MARAD), for two 245-foot class liftboats. This debt bears an interest rate of 6.45% per annum and is payable in equal semi-annual installments of $405,000 on June 3^rd and December 3^rd of each year through the maturity date of June 3, 2027. Our obligations are secured by mortgages on the two liftboats. This MARAD financing also requires that we comply with certain covenants and restrictions, including the maintenance of minimum net worth, working capital and debt-to-equity requirements.

We have outstanding $300 million of 6 7/8% unsecured senior notes due 2014. The indenture governing the 6 7/8% senior notes requires semi-annual interest payments on June 1^st and December 1^st of each year through the maturity date of June 1, 2014. The indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit us from incurring additional debt, repurchasing capital stock, paying dividends or making other distributions, incurring liens, selling assets or entering into certain mergers or acquisitions.

In April 2011, we issued $500 million of 6 3/8% unsecured senior notes due 2019. The indenture governing the 6 3/8% senior notes requires semi-annual interest payments on May 1^st and November 1^st of each year through the maturity date of May 1, 2019. The indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit us from incurring additional debt, repurchasing capital stock, paying dividends or making other distributions, incurring liens, selling assets or entering into certain mergers or acquisitions. We intend to use a portion of the net proceeds of this offering to redeem, on or about December 15, 2011, all of our outstanding $400 million senior exchangeable notes due 2026. The additional $100 million is available for general corporate purposes. Pending application of the remaining proceeds to the redemption of our senior exchangeable notes, we used a portion to pay down all amounts outstanding on our revolving credit facility and invested the remaining proceeds in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government.

As noted above, we currently have outstanding $400 million of our 1.50% unsecured senior exchangeable notes due 2026. The senior exchangeable notes bear interest at a rate of 1.50% per annum and decrease to 1.25% per annum on December 15, 2011. Interest on the senior exchangeable notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on December 15^th and June 15^th of each year through the maturity date of December 15, 2026. The senior exchangeable notes do not contain any restrictive financial covenants. Following completion of the offering of the $500 million notes in April 2011, we classified the $400 million of our senior exchangeable notes as current debt at June 30, 2011.

Under certain circumstances, holders may exchange the notes for shares of our common stock. The initial exchange rate is 21.9414 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes. This exchange rate is equal to an initial exchange price of $45.58 per share. The exchange price represents a 35% premium over the closing share price at the date of issuance. The notes may be exchanged under the following circumstances:

• during any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock is greater than or equal to 135% of the applicable exchange price of the notes for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter;

34

• prior to December 15, 2011, during the five business-day period after any ten consecutive trading-day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price of $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day in the measurement period was less than 95% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the exchange rate on such trading day;

• if the notes have been called for redemption;

• upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions; or

• at any time beginning on September 15, 2026, and ending at the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date of December 15, 2026.

In connection with the issuance of the exchangeable notes, we entered into agreements with affiliates of the initial purchasers to purchase call options and sell warrants on our common stock. We may exercise the call options we purchased at any time to acquire approximately 8.8 million shares of our common stock at a strike price of $45.58 per share. The owners of the warrants may exercise the warrants to purchase from us approximately 8.8 million shares of our common stock at a price of $59.42 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution and other customary adjustments. The warrants may, at our option, be settled in cash, in common stock or in a combination of cash and common stock. These transactions may potentially reduce the dilution of our common stock from the exchange of the notes by increasing the effective exchange price to $59.42 per share. Lehman Brothers OTC Derivatives, Inc. (LBOTC) is the counterparty to 50% of our call option and warrant transactions. In October 2008, LBOTC filed for bankruptcy protection. We continue to carefully monitor the developments affecting LBOTC. Although we may not retain the benefit of the call option due to LBOTC’s bankruptcy, we do not expect that there will be a material impact, if any, on the financial statements or results of operations. The call option and warrant transactions described above do not affect the terms of the outstanding exchangeable notes.

Our current long-term issuer credit rating is BB+ by Standard and Poor’s and Ba2 by Moody’s. Moody’s recently upgraded our credit rating from Ba3 to Ba2 primarily due to the company’s size, diversified service offerings, substantial production related focus and growing global footprint. Our current credit rating may be impacted by the rating agencies’ view of the cyclical nature of our industry sector.

The following table summarizes our projected contractual cash obligations and commercial commitments at June 30, 2011 (amounts in thousands). We do not have any other material obligations or commitments.

We currently believe that we will spend approximately $270 million to $280 million on capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, during the remaining six months of 2011. We believe that our current working capital, cash generated from our operations and availability under our revolving credit facility will provide sufficient funds for our identified capital projects.

In May 2010, we signed a contract for construction of a compact semi-submersible vessel. This vessel is designed for both shallow and deepwater conditions and will be capable of performing subsea construction, inspection, repairs and maintenance work, as well as subsea light well intervention and abandonment work. This vessel is expected to be completed in the second half of 2012.

35

We intend to continue implementing our growth strategy of increasing our scope of services through both internal growth and strategic acquisitions. We expect to continue to make the capital expenditures required to implement our growth strategy in amounts consistent with the amount of cash generated from operating activities, the availability of additional financing and our revolving credit facility. Depending on the size of any future acquisitions, we may require additional equity or debt financing in excess of our current working capital and amounts available under our revolving credit facility.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet financing arrangements other than potential additional consideration that may be payable as a result of the future operating performances of certain acquisitions. At June 30, 2011, the maximum additional consideration payable for these acquisitions was approximately $4.0 million. Since these acquisitions occurred before we adopted the revised authoritative guidance for business combinations, these amounts are not classified as liabilities and are not reflected in our financial statements until the amounts are fixed and determinable. When amounts are determined, they are capitalized as part of the purchase price of the related acquisition. We do not have any other financing arrangements that are not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in our financial statements.

Hedging Activities

In an effort to achieve a more balanced debt portfolio by targeting an overall desired position of fixed and floating rates, we entered into an interest rate swap in March 2010 whereby we are entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments at a fixed rate of 6 7/8% per annum and obligated to make quarterly interest payments at a variable rate. Interest rate swap agreements that are effective at hedging the fair value of fixed-rate debt agreements are designated and accounted for as fair value hedges. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had fixed-rate interest on approximately 88% and 63%, respectively, of our long-term debt. As of June 30, 2011, we had $150 million of long-term debt with a variable interest rate, which is adjusted every 90 days, based on LIBOR plus a fixed margin.

From time to time, we enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. The forward foreign exchange contracts we enter into generally have maturities ranging from one to eighteen months. We do not enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for trading purposes. As of June 30, 2011, we had no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange, interest rates, equity prices, and oil and gas prices as discussed below.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Because we operate in a number of countries throughout the world, we conduct a portion of our business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The functional currency for our international operations, other than certain operations in the United Kingdom and Europe, is the U.S. dollar, but a portion of the revenues from our international operations is paid in foreign currencies. The effects of foreign currency fluctuations are partly mitigated because local expenses of such international operations are also generally denominated in the same currency. We continually monitor the currency exchange risks associated with all contracts not denominated in the U.S. dollar. Any gains or losses associated with such fluctuations have not been material.

We do not hold derivatives for trading purposes or use derivatives with complex features. Assets and liabilities of our subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated at end of period exchange rates, while income and expense are translated at average rates for the period. Translation gains and losses are reported as the foreign currency translation component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity.

When we believe prudent, we enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. The forward foreign exchange contracts we enter into generally have maturities ranging from one to eighteen months. We do not enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for trading purposes. As of June 30, 2011, we had no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

36

Interest Rate Risk

At June 30, 2011, our debt (exclusive of discounts), was comprised of the following (in thousands):

	Fixed		Variable
	Rate Debt		Rate Debt
Revolving credit facility due 2014	$	—	$	—
6.875% Senior notes due 2014 *		150,000		150,000
6.375% Senior notes due 2019		500,000		—
1.50% Senior exchangeable notes due 2026		400,000		—
U.S. Government guaranteed long-term financing due 2027		12,951		—
Total Debt	$	1,062,951	$	150,000

^(*) In March 2010, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $150 million, whereby we are entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments at a fixed rate of 6 7/8% per annum and are obligated to make quarterly interest payments at a variable rate. The variable interest rate, which is adjusted every 90 days, is based on LIBOR plus a fixed margin.

Based on the amount of this debt outstanding at June 30, 2011, a 10% increase in the variable interest rate would have increased our interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 by approximately $0.4 million, while a 10% decrease would have decreased our interest expense by approximately $0.4 million.

Equity Price Risk

We have $400 million of 1.50% unsecured senior exchangeable notes due 2026. The notes are, subject to the occurrence of specified conditions, exchangeable for our common stock initially at an exchange price of $45.58 per share, which would result in an aggregate of approximately 8.8 million shares of common stock being issued upon exchange. As previously stated, we intend to use a portion of the net proceeds from our recent issuance of $500 million of 6 3/8% unsecured senior notes to redeem, on or about December 15, 2011, all of the outstanding $400 million senior exchangeable notes.

Each $1,000 of principal amount of the notes is initially exchangeable into 21.9414 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events. Holders of the notes may exchange their notes prior to maturity only if: (1) the price of our common stock reaches 135% of the applicable exchange rate during certain periods of time specified in the notes; (2) specified corporate transactions occur; (3) the notes have been called for redemption; or (4) the trading price of the notes falls below a certain threshold. In addition, in the event of a fundamental change in our corporate ownership or structure, the holders may require us to repurchase all or any portion of the notes for 100% of the principal amount.

We also have agreements with affiliates of the initial purchasers of the exchangeable notes to purchase call options and sell warrants of our common stock. We may exercise the call options at any time to acquire approximately 8.8 million shares of our common stock at a strike price of $45.58 per share. The owners of the warrants may exercise their warrants to purchase from us approximately 8.8 million shares of our common stock at a price of $59.42 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution and other customary adjustments. The warrants may be settled, at our option, in cash, in shares or in a combination of cash and shares. Lehman Brothers OTC Derivatives, Inc. (LBOTC) is the counterparty to 50% of our call option and warrant transactions. We continue to carefully monitor the developments affecting LBOTC. Although we may not be able to retain the benefit of the call option due to LBOTC’s bankruptcy, we do not expect that there will be a material impact, if any, on the financial statements or results of operations. The call option and warrant transactions described above do not affect the terms of the outstanding exchangeable notes.

37

Commodity Price Risk

Our revenues, profitability and future rate of growth significantly depend upon the market prices of oil and natural gas. Lower prices may also reduce the amount of oil and gas that can economically be produced.

For additional discussion of the notes, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Part I, Item 2 above.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a.

Evaluation of disclosure control and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation, that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective for ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

b.

Changes in internal control. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2011, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Under this program, we can repurchase shares through open market transactions at prices deemed appropriate by management. There was no common stock repurchased and retired under this program during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Income Taxes [Abstract]

Income Taxes

(18) Income Taxes

The Company follows authoritative guidance surrounding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and applicable penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company had approximately $24.8 million of unrecorded tax benefits at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, all of which would impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.

In addition to its U.S. federal tax return, the Company files income tax returns in various state and foreign jurisdictions. The number of years that are open under the statute of limitations and subject to audit varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. The Company remains subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years after 2006.

Long-Term Contracts

(3) Long-Term Contracts

In 2010, Wild Well acquired 100% ownership of Shell Offshore, Inc.’s Gulf of Mexico Bullwinkle platform and its related assets, and assumed the related decommissioning obligations. In connection with the subsequent conveyance to DOR of an undivided 49% interest in these assets and the related well plugging and abandonment obligation, DOR will pay Wild Well to extinguish its portion of the well plugging and abandonment obligation, limited to the fair value of the obligation at the time of acquisition. As part of the asset purchase agreement with Shell Offshore, Inc., Wild Well was required to obtain a $50.0 million performance bond, as well as fund $50.0 million into an escrow account.

DOR funded its portion of this amount as part of its payment obligation for the well plugging and abandonment. Included in intangible and other long-term assets, net is escrowed cash of $50.1 million and $33.0 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Included in other long-term liabilities is deferred revenue of $24.6 million and $16.2 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively (see note 2).

The Company has a contract to perform well abandonment and decommissioning work associated with oil and gas properties owned and operated by SPN Resources, LLC (SPN Resources). This contract consists of numerous, separate billable jobs estimated to be performed through 2022. In March 2011, the Company contributed its equity interest in SPN Resources and DBH, LLC (DBH) in exchange for a 10% limited partnership interest in DOH (see note 7) and modified the terms of this contract.

In December 2007, Wild Well entered into contractual arrangements pursuant to which it decommissioned seven downed oil and gas platforms and related well facilities located offshore in the Gulf of Mexico for a fixed sum of $750 million, which is payable in installments upon the completion of specified portions of work. The contract contains certain covenants primarily related to Wild Well’s performance of the work. As of June 30, 2011, all work was complete, pending certain regulatory approvals. The revenue related to the contract for decommissioning these downed platforms and well facilities was recorded on the percentage-of-completion method utilizing costs incurred as a percentage of total estimated costs. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were $129.7 million and $144.5 million of costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings related to this contract included in other current assets.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per Share [Abstract]

Earnings per Share

(9) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that could have been outstanding assuming the exercise of stock options and restricted stock units and the potential shares that would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share.

Stock options of approximately 190,000 and 1,810,000 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately 190,000 and 1,310,000 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

In connection with the Company’s outstanding 1.50% unsecured senior exchangeable notes, there could be a dilutive effect on earnings per share if the price of the Company’s stock exceeds the initial exchange price of $45.58 per share for a specified period of time. In the event the Company’s common stock exceeds $45.58 per share for a specified period of time, the first $1.00 the price exceeds $45.58 would cause a dilutive effect of approximately 188,400 shares. The impact on the calculation of earnings per share varies depending on when during the quarter the $45.58 per share price is reached.

Debt [Abstract]

Debt

(8) Debt

The Company has a $400 million revolving credit facility, with the right, at the Company’s option and subject to certain conditions, to increase the borrowing capacity of the facility to $550 million. Any amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are due on July 20, 2014. At June 30, 2011, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, but had letters of credit outstanding of approximately $6.9 million, which reduce the Company’s borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility. Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus margins that depend on the Company’s leverage ratio. Indebtedness under the revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, including the pledge of the stock of the Company’s principal domestic subsidiaries. The revolving credit facility contains customary events of default and requires that the Company satisfy various financial covenants. It also limits the Company’s ability to pay dividends or make other distributions, make acquisitions, make changes to the Company’s capital structure, create liens or incur additional indebtedness. At June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

At June 30, 2011, the Company had outstanding $13.0 million in U.S. Government guaranteed long-term financing under Title XI of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, which is administered by the Maritime Administration, for two 245-foot class liftboats. The debt bears interest at 6.45% per annum and is payable in equal semi-annual installments of $405,000 on June 3^rd and December 3^rd of each year through the maturity date of June 3, 2027. The Company’s obligations are secured by mortgages on the two liftboats. In accordance with the agreement, the Company is required to comply with certain covenants and restrictions, including the maintenance of minimum net worth, working capital and debt-to-equity requirements. At June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

The Company also has outstanding $300 million of 6 7/8% unsecured senior notes due 2014. The indenture governing the 6 7/8% senior notes requires semi-annual interest payments on June 1^st and December 1^st of each year through the maturity date of June 1, 2014. The indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company from incurring additional debt, repurchasing capital stock, paying dividends or making other distributions, incurring liens, selling assets or entering into certain mergers or acquisitions. At June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

In March 2010, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $150 million, whereby the Company is entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments at a fixed rate of 6 7/8% per annum and is obligated to make quarterly interest payments at a variable rate. The variable interest rate, which is adjusted every 90 days, is based on LIBOR plus a fixed margin (see note 17).

The Company has outstanding $400 million of 1.50% unsecured senior exchangeable notes due 2026. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company retrospectively adopted authoritative guidance related to debt with conversion and other options, which requires the proceeds from the issuance of the 1.50% unsecured senior exchangeable notes to be allocated between a liability (issued at a discount) and an equity component. The resulting debt discount is amortized over the period the exchangeable debt is expected to be outstanding as additional non-cash interest expense. The Company used an effective interest rate of 6.89% and will amortize this debt discount through December 12, 2011. The Company has recorded an unamortized discount of $9.6 million and $19.7 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, related to these senior exchangeable notes. The senior exchangeable notes bear interest at a rate of 1.50% per annum and decrease to 1.25% per annum on December 15, 2011. Interest on the senior exchangeable notes is payable semi-annually on December 15^th and June 15^th of each year through the maturity date of December 15, 2026. The senior exchangeable notes do not contain any restrictive financial covenants.

Under certain circumstances, holders may exchange the notes for shares of the Company’s common stock. The initial exchange rate is 21.9414 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes. This is equal to an initial exchange price of $45.58 per share. The exchange price represents a 35% premium over the closing share price at the date of issuance. The notes may be exchanged under the following circumstances:

• during any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock is greater than or equal to 135% of the applicable exchange price of the notes for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter;

• prior to December 15, 2011, during the five business-day period after any ten consecutive trading-day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price of $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day in the measurement period was less than 95% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the exchange rate on such trading day;

• if the notes have been called for redemption;

• upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions; or

• at any time beginning on September 15, 2026, and ending at the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date of December 15, 2026.

Holders of the senior exchangeable notes may also require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their notes on December 15, 2011, December 15, 2016 and December 15, 2021 subject to certain administrative formalities. Conversely, on or after December 15, 2011 the Company may redeem at any time all or part of the notes. In each case, the purchase price payable will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest with all amounts payable in cash.

In connection with the senior exchangeable note transaction, the Company simultaneously entered into agreements with affiliates of the initial purchasers to purchase call options and sell warrants on its common stock. The Company may exercise the call options it purchased at any time to acquire approximately 8.8 million shares of its common stock at a strike price of $45.58 per share. The owners of the warrants may exercise the warrants to purchase from the Company approximately 8.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $59.42 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution and other customary adjustments. The warrants may be settled, at the Company’s option, in cash, in common stock or in a combination of cash and common stock. Lehman Brothers OTC Derivatives, Inc. (LBOTC) is the counterparty to 50% of the Company’s call option and warrant transactions. In October 2008, LBOTC filed for bankruptcy protection. The Company continues to carefully monitor the developments affecting LBOTC. Although the Company may not retain the benefit of the call option due to LBOTC’s bankruptcy, the Company does not expect that there will be a material impact, if any, on the financial statements or results of operations. The call option and warrant transactions described above do not affect the terms of the outstanding exchangeable notes.

In April 2011, the Company issued $500 million of 6 3/8% unsecured senior notes due 2019. Costs associated with the issuance of these notes were approximately $9.6 million and were capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the 6 3/8% senior notes. The indenture governing the 6 3/8% senior notes requires semi-annual interest payments on May 1^st and November 1^st of each year through the maturity date of May 1, 2019. The indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company from incurring additional debt, repurchasing capital stock, paying dividends or making other distributions, incurring liens, selling assets or entering into certain mergers or acquisitions. At June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

The Company has the ability to redeem its $400 million 1.50% unsecured senior exchangeable notes on or after December 15, 2011 for 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of its 6 3/8% unsecured senior notes to redeem all of the outstanding senior exchangeable notes. The remaining net proceeds are available for general corporate purposes. In the interim, the Company used a portion of the proceeds to pay down all of its outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The remaining portions of the proceeds are included in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2011 (see note 5).

As the holders of the Company’s 1.50% senior exchangeable notes have the ability to require the Company to purchase all of the notes on December 15, 2011, the entire amount of these notes would have been deemed to be a current liability at December 31, 2010. However, in accordance with accounting guidance related to classification of short-term debt that is to be refinanced, the Company utilized the amount available to it under its revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2010 of approximately $216.0 million to classify this portion as long-term under the assumption that the revolving credit facility could be used to refinance that portion of the debt. Following completion of the 6 3/8% senior note offering in April 2011, the Company classified the $400 million senior exchangeable notes as current debt at June 30, 2011.

Stock-Based Compensation and Retirement Plans [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation and Retirement Plans

(4) Stock-Based Compensation and Retirement Plans

The Company maintains various stock incentive plans that provide long-term incentives to the Company’s key employees, including officers, directors, consultants and advisors (Eligible Participants). Under the incentive plans, the Company may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, other stock-based awards or any combination thereof to Eligible Participants. In connection with the transition of executive management in the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company issued approximately 1,019,000 of non-qualified stock options, approximately 177,000 shares of restricted stock and approximately 30,000 performance share units. Additionally, vesting of certain grants was accelerated to coincide with the terms of the change in executive management.

Stock Options

The Company has issued non-qualified stock options under its stock incentive plans. The options generally vest in equal installments over three years and expire in ten years. Non-vested options are generally forfeited upon termination of employment. The Company’s compensation expense related to stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $1.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively, which is reflected in general and administrative expenses.

Restricted Stock

The Company has issued shares of restricted stock under its stock incentive plans. Shares of restricted stock generally vest in equal annual installments over three years. Non-vested shares are generally forfeited upon the termination of employment. Holders of shares of restricted stock are entitled to all rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the restricted stock, including the right to vote the shares and receive any dividends or other distributions. The Company’s compensation expense related to restricted stock for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $2.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively, which is reflected in general and administrative expenses.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company has issued restricted stock units (RSUs) to its non-employee directors under its stock incentive plans. Annually, each non-employee director is issued a number of RSUs having an aggregate dollar value determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. An RSU represents the right to receive from the Company, within 30 days of the date the director ceases to serve on the Board, one share of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s expense related to RSUs for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, which is reflected in general and administrative expenses.

Performance Share Units

The Company has issued performance share units (PSUs) to its employees as part of the Company’s long-term incentive program. There is a three year performance period associated with each PSU grant. The two performance measures applicable to all participants are the Company’s return on invested capital and total stockholder return relative to those of the Company’s pre-defined “peer group.” If the participant has met specified continued service requirements, the PSUs will settle in cash or a combination of cash and up to 50% of equivalent value in the Company’s common stock, at the discretion of the compensation committee. The Company’s compensation expense related to all outstanding PSUs for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $2.4 million and $4.3 million, respectively, which is reflected in general and administrative expenses. The Company has recorded a current liability of approximately $3.5 million and $6.0 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, for outstanding PSUs, which is reflected in accrued expenses. Additionally, the Company has recorded a long-term liability of approximately $6.3 million and $7.0 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, for outstanding PSUs, which is reflected in other long-term liabilities. During the six month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company paid approximately $2.8 million and issued approximately 67,300 shares of its common stock to settle PSUs for the performance period ended December 31, 2010. During the six month period ended June 30, 2010, the Company paid approximately $6.4 million to its employees to settle PSUs for the performance period ending December 31, 2009.

Employee Stock Purchase Plans

The Company has employee stock purchase plans under which an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance. Under these stock purchase plans, eligible employees can purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount. The Company received approximately $1.2 million and $1.1 million and issued approximately 38,000 shares and 57,000 shares under these plans for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For each six month period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded compensation expense of approximately $0.2 million, which is reflected in general and administrative expenses.

Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan which allows certain highly compensated employees to defer up to 75% of their base salary, up to 100% of their bonus, and up to 100% of the cash portion of their PSU compensation to the plan. The Company also has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for its non-employee directors which allows each director to defer up to 100% of their cash compensation paid by the Company to the plan. Additionally, participating directors may defer up to 100% of the shares of common stock they are entitled to receive in connection with the payout of RSUs. Under each plan, payments are made to participants based on their annual enrollment elections and plan balance. Participants earn a return on their deferred compensation that is based on hypothetical investments in certain mutual funds. Changes in market value of these hypothetical participant investments are reflected as an adjustment to the deferred compensation liability of the Company with an offset to compensation expense (see note 16).

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

The Company has a supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP). The SERP provides retirement benefits to the Company’s executive officers and certain other designated key employees. The SERP is an unfunded, non-qualified defined contribution retirement plan, and all contributions under the plan are unfunded credits to a notional account maintained for each participant. Under the SERP, the Company will generally make annual contributions to a retirement account based on age and years of service. The Company may also make discretionary contributions to a participant’s account. The Company recorded compensation expense of approximately $0.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. The Company recorded compensation expense of approximately $5.2 million, inclusive of a discretionary contribution to the account of its chief operating officer in the amount of $4.7 million as part of its executive management transition, for the six month period ended June 30, 2010. This compensation expense is recorded in general and administrative expenses in each of the respective periods.

Short-Term Investments

(5) Short-Term Investments

The Company’s short-term investments consist of U.S. treasury bills and notes that are issued by the U.S. government, all of which are accounted for as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value with the unrealized holding gains and losses included in net income.

Inventory and other current assets includes approximately $69.6 million and $70.0 million of inventory at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Our inventory balance at June 30, 2011 consisted of approximately $29.1 million of finished goods, $1.0 million of work-in-process, $2.9 million of raw materials and $36.6 million of supplies and consumables. Our inventory balance at December 31, 2010 consisted of approximately $31.4 million of finished goods, $1.4 million of work-in-process, $2.2 million of raw materials and $35.0 million of supplies and consumables. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on an average cost basis for finished goods and work-in-process. Supplies and consumables consist principally of products used in our services provided to customers.

Additionally, inventory and other current assets include approximately $133.5 million and $146.9 million of costs incurred and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The Company follows the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for applicable contracts. Accordingly, income is recognized in the ratio that costs incurred bears to estimated total costs. Adjustments to cost estimates are made periodically, and losses expected to be incurred on contracts in progress are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined.

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

(16) Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements relating to financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities, including presentation of required disclosures herein. This guidance establishes a fair value framework requiring the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets and liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1 such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets; or model-derived valuations or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

The following tables provide a summary of the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

The Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plans allow officers, certain highly compensated employees and non-employee directors to defer receipt of a portion of their compensation and contribute such amounts to one or more hypothetical investment funds (see note 4). The Company entered into separate trust agreements, subject to general creditors, to segregate assets of each plan and reports the accounts of the trusts in its condensed consolidated financial statements. These investments are reported at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identifiable assets and observable inputs for similar assets and liabilities, which represent Levels 1 and 2, respectively, in the fair value hierarchy. The realized and unrealized holding gains and losses related to non-qualified deferred compensation assets are recorded in interest expense, net. The realized and unrealized holding gains and losses related to non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities are recorded in general and administrative expenses.

In March 2010, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $150 million, whereby the Company is entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments at a fixed rate of 6 7/8% per annum and is obligated to make quarterly interest payments at a floating rate, which is adjusted every 90 days, based on LIBOR plus a fixed margin. The Company entered into the interest rate swap agreement in an effort to achieve a more balanced debt portfolio by targeting an overall desired position of fixed and floating interest rates. The swap agreement, scheduled to terminate on June 1, 2014, is designated as a fair value hedge of a portion of the 6 7/8% unsecured senior notes, as the derivative has been tested to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the underlying note. As this derivative is classified as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative are offset against the changes in the fair value of the underlying note in interest expense, net (see note 17).

The fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents, accounts receivable and current maturities of long-term debt approximates their carrying amounts. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was approximately $1,212.4 million and $902.5 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of these debt instruments is determined by reference to the market value of the instrument as quoted in an over-the-counter market.

Derivative Financial Instruments [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

(17) Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company manages its debt portfolio by targeting an overall desired position of fixed and floating rates and may employ interest rate swaps from time to time to achieve its goal. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

In March 2010, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $150 million related to its fixed rate debt maturing in 2014. This transaction was designated as a fair value hedge since the swap hedges against the change in fair value of fixed rate debt resulting from changes in interest rates. The Company’s derivative agreement includes a credit risk-related contingent feature whereby the counterparty is allowed to terminate the transaction following the occurrence of a default on certain of the Company’s indebtedness. The Company recorded a derivative asset of $0.9 million and $0.2 million within intangible and other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively (see note 8). The change in fair value of the interest rate swap is included in the adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The location and effect of the derivative instrument on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, presented on a pre-tax basis, is as follows (in thousands):

Acquisitions

(2) Acquisitions

In August 2010, the Company acquired certain assets (operating as Superior Completion Services) from subsidiaries of Baker Hughes Incorporated (Baker Hughes) for approximately $54.3 million. The assets purchased were used in Baker Hughes’ Gulf of Mexico stimulation and sand control business.

In January 2010, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interest of Hallin Marine Subsea International Plc (Hallin) for approximately $162.3 million. Additionally, the Company repaid approximately $55.5 million of Hallin’s debt. Hallin is an international provider of integrated subsea services and engineering solutions, focused on installing, maintaining and extending the life of subsea wells. Hallin operates in international offshore oil and gas markets with offices and facilities located in Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, Scotland and the United States.

In January 2010, Wild Well Control, Inc. (Wild Well), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired 100% ownership of Shell Offshore, Inc.’s Gulf of Mexico Bullwinkle platform and its related assets, including 29 wells, and assumed the decommissioning obligation for such assets. Immediately after Wild Well acquired these assets, it conveyed an undivided 49% interest in these assets and the related well plugging and abandonment obligations to Dynamic Offshore Resources, LLC (DOR), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dynamic Offshore Holding, LP (DOH), which operates these assets. Additionally, DOR will pay Wild Well to extinguish its 49% portion of the well plugging and abandonment obligation (see note 3).

The Company has no off-balance sheet financing arrangements other than potential additional consideration that may be payable as a result of the future operating performance of certain acquired businesses. At June 30, 2011, the maximum additional consideration payable was approximately $4.0 million and will be determined and payable through 2012. Since these acquisitions occurred before the Company adopted the revised authoritative guidance for business combinations, these amounts are not classified as liabilities and are not reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements until the amounts are fixed and determinable. When these amounts are determined, they will be capitalized as part of the purchase price of the related acquisition.

Decommissioning Liabilities [Abstract]

Decommissioning Liabilities

(11) Decommissioning Liabilities

In connection with the acquisition of the Bullwinkle platform and its related assets, the Company records estimated future decommissioning liabilities in accordance with the authoritative guidance related to asset retirement obligations (decommissioning liabilities), which requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred, with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Subsequent to initial measurement, the decommissioning liability is required to be accreted each period to present value. The Company’s decommissioning liabilities associated with the Bullwinkle platform and its related assets consist of costs related to the plugging of wells, the removal of the related facilities and equipment, and site restoration.

Whenever practical, the Company utilizes its own equipment and labor services to perform well abandonment and decommissioning work. When the Company performs these services, all recorded intercompany revenues and related costs of services are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The recorded decommissioning liability associated with a specific property is fully extinguished when the property is abandoned. The recorded liability is first reduced by all cash expenses incurred to abandon and decommission the property. If the recorded liability exceeds (or is less than) the Company’s total costs, then the difference is reported as income (or loss) within revenue during the period in which the work is performed. The Company reviews the adequacy of its decommissioning liabilities whenever indicators suggest that the estimated cash flows needed to satisfy the liability have changed materially. The timing and amounts of these expenditures are estimates, and changes to these estimates may result in additional (or decreased) liabilities recorded, which in turn would increase (or decrease) the carrying values of the related assets. The Company reviews its estimates for the timing of these expenditures on a quarterly basis.

The following table summarizes the activity for the Company’s decommissioning liabilities for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

Guarantee [Abstract]

Guarantee

(15) Guarantee

As part of SPN Resources’ acquisition of its oil and gas properties while a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company guaranteed SPN Resources’ performance of its decommissioning liabilities. These guarantees remain in place. In accordance with authoritative guidance related to guarantees, the Company has assigned an estimated value of $2.6 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 related to decommissioning performance guarantees, which is reflected in other long-term liabilities. The Company believes that the likelihood of being required to perform these guarantees is remote. In the unlikely event that SPN Resources defaults on the decommissioning liabilities, the total maximum potential obligation under these guarantees is estimated to be approximately $109.2 million, net of the contractual right to receive payments from third parties, which is approximately $24.6 million as of June 30, 2011. The total maximum potential obligation will decrease over time as the underlying obligations are fulfilled by SPN Resources.
