ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     On October 5, 1995, Weatherford International Incorporated, a
Delaware corporation ("Weatherford"), and Enterra Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("Enterra"), completed the previously-announced merger (the
"Merger") of Enterra with and into Weatherford. Effective as of the
effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), (i) the surviving

share (the "Weatherford Common Stock").

1995 (the "Merger Agreement"), as amended as of August 28, 1995 and as of
October 5, 1995, between Weatherford and Enterra, each of Enterra's
approximately 28 million outstanding shares of common stock, par value
$1.00 per share, was as of the Effective Time converted into the right to
receive 0.845 of a share (which number reflects the Reverse Stock Split) of
Weatherford Common Stock. The Merger is intended to be treated as a "pooling
of interests" for accounting purposes under Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 16. The Merger Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to the Merger
Agreement have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION

                   WEATHERFORD AND ENTERRA COMPLETE MERGER

     Houston, TX (October 5, 1995) - Weatherford International
Incorporated (NYSE WII) and Enterra Corporation (NYSE EN) announced today
completion of the merger of the two companies and a name change to
Weatherford Enterra, Inc. Shareholders of both companies approved the merger
at meetings held today. Weatherford shareholders also approved a one-for-two
reverse stock split, the name change and various other matters at today's
meeting.

     The merger was structured as a tax-free pooling of interests. Pursuant
to the merger, all outstanding shares of Enterra common stock, approximately
28 million, were converted into approximately 24 million shares of
Weatherford Enterra common stock at a ratio of 0.845 of a share of
Weatherford Enterra stock, after giving effect to the reverse stock split.
Following the merger and the reverse stock split, Weatherford Enterra will
have approximately 51 million shares outstanding. The new shares will be
listed on the New York Stock Exchange and will continue to carry the WII
stock symbol.

     The Board of Directors of Weatherford Enterra will consist of Thomas N.
Amonett, Philip Burguieres, William E. Greehey, John W. Johnson and Robert K.
Moses, Jr. (former Weatherford directors) and John A. Hill, William E.
Macaulay, Robert L. Parker, Sr., R. Rudolph Reinfrank and Roger M. Widmann
(former Enterra directors). Burguieres, Chairman, President and CEO of
Weatherford, will serve as Chairman, President and CEO of Weatherford Enterra.

     Pro forma 1994 revenues, net income, and cash flow (defined as net
income plus depreciation) for the combined entities would have been $903
million, $70 million and $158 million, respectively. These pro forma results
assume completion as of January 1, 1994 of various other transactions in 1994
and 1995, including the Weatherford Enterra merger and the pending Energy
Industries acquisition scheduled to close in November, and realization of
certain operational and combination savings benefits resulting from these
transactions. Current market capitalization of Weatherford Enterra is
approximately $1.5 billion.

                                  -more-




     Following the merger, the significantly expanded Company will operate
through six core businesses; rental and fishing services; tubular handling
services; gas compression products and services; cementation products;
pipeline construction products and services; and energy products and services.

     In commencing on the merger, Burguieres noted that the combination of
two of the leading oil field service companies should be a real benefit to
the Company's customers. He commented that "with over 6,000 employees serving
customers from over 200 locations worldwide, the new Company will be better
able to serve its customers through the more efficient delivery of a broader
range of products and services. By benefitting our customers, we benefit our
shareholders and employees as well. This merger is an excellent example of
our continuing effort to enhance shareholder value."

     Weatherford Enterra is a Houston, Texas-based diversified international
energy service and manufacturing company that provides products and services
around the world to the oil and gas exploration, production and transmission
industries.
