Abell, Sr. Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of TETRA, will make a presentation at the Howard Weil 38th Annual Energy Conference which will include the material attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1. A copy of the press release announcing that Mr. Brightman and Mr. Abell will be presenting at the conference is attached as Exhibit 99.2.

The presentation materials will also be posted in the Investor Relations section of TETRA’s website, http://www.tetratec.com, on March 24, 2010.

The Company has included in the presentation materials projections of revenues and earnings per share that are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP.” The Company has supplemented the guidance that it provides in accordance with GAAP included in the presentation materials with a disclosure concerning anticipated free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure. The method the Company uses to produce this non-GAAP financial measure may differ from the methods used by other companies. Free cash flow is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and the Company’s reference to this non-GAAP financial measure should be considered in addition to the financial information and guidance that is prepared under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for the financial information and guidance that are presented as consistent with GAAP. The Company’s management uses the supplemental non-GAAP financial information internally to understand, manage and evaluate the Company’s business, to make operating decisions and for planning and forecasting purposes. Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP financial measure of the non-GAAP financial measure is posted in the Investor Relations section of TETRA’s website, http://www.tetratec.com.

The information furnished in Item 7.01, Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
