CARBO CERAMICS INC. ANNOUNCES DELAY IN RUSSIA PLANT COMPLETION

Irving, Texas (December 1, 2006) — CARBO Ceramics Inc. (NYSE: CRR) announced today that the planned completion of its manufacturing facility in Kopeysk, Russia will be delayed beyond its originally anticipated date of year-end 2006. The delay is due primarily to a disagreement with a local contractor, and the company is moving forward with an alternative plan for completion of the work. The company anticipates completion of the plant during the first quarter of 2007 and start-up of the plant during the first half of 2007. The company added that the start-up of the plant remains subject to receipt of certain governmental permits, the timing of which is not within the company’s control.

The company’s President and CEO, Gary Kolstad, stated, “While we are disappointed by this delay, we are committed to the Russian market for the long term, and this does not alter our plans. We are actively marketing our products and services in Russia and believe we can contribute to increased production and recovery rates in oil and gas reservoirs in this important region. The start-up of this facility will be complicated by logistical and permitting issues, but we are moving towards this target as quickly as possible and will keep our shareholders and customers updated on progress. In the interim, we will be able to supply the Russian market with quality ceramic proppant from our other global manufacturing facilities.”

The company expects the delay to increase the total capital cost of the facility approximately seven to eight percent above its planned cost of $42 million. Until the plant is operational, the company expects to satisfy demand in Russia from the company’s other global manufacturing locations. Any impact on revenue or net income will depend on the actual start-up date of the facility and the final terms of sales agreements with customers in Russia, and cannot be quantified at this time.
