Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 17, 2006, the Initial Purchasers (as defined herein) purchased an additional $50,000,000 of the 0.25% Senior Exchangeable Notes Due 2011 (the "Additional Notes") of Core Laboratories LP ("Core LP"), pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated November 6, 2006, among Core Laboratories N.V. ("Core NV"), Core LP and Lehman Brothers Inc. and Banc of America Securities LLC, as representatives of the initial purchasers named therein (the "Initial Purchasers"). The Additional Notes increase the aggregate issuance by Core LP of 0.25% Senior Exchangeable Notes Due 2011 to $300,000,000. The Additional Notes are exchangeable under certain conditions for Core NV's common shares as previously disclosed. The net proceeds from the offering of the Additional Notes, after deducting the Initial Purchasers' discount and the estimated offering expenses payable by Core NV, are expected to be approximately $49.0 million.

In connection with the issuance of the Additional Notes, Core LP amended the exchangeable note hedge transactions entered into with Lehman Brothers OTC Derivatives Inc. (the "Dealer") at the initial closing with respect to Core NV's common shares to cover the additional net Core NV's common shares that could be deliverable to exchanging noteholders in the event of an exchange of the Additional Notes. Core LP paid the Dealer an additional amount of approximately $14.4 million in connection with the amendment to the note hedge transactions. A copy of the amendment to the Note Hedge Confirmation is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, is incorporated herein by reference, and is hereby filed; the description of the amendment to the Note Hedge Confirmation in this report is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the amendment.

Core NV also entered into an amendment of its separate warrant transactions entered into with the Dealer at the initial closing under the Purchase Agreement to increase the number of warrants sold to acquire Core NV's common shares. Core NV received from the Dealer an additional amount of approximately $8.4 million in connection with the amendment to the warrant transactions. A copy of the amendment to the Warrant Confirmation is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2, is incorporated herein by reference, and is hereby filed; the description of the amendment to the Warrant Confirmation in this report is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the amendment.
