Items to be Included in this Report

 
Item 7.01.    Regulation FD Disclosure
 
BJ Services Company intends to issue a price book increase for its U.S. pressure pumping operations. The increase will average 11% above its current price book in the U.S. and will be effective November 1, 2005. The degree of customer acceptance of the price book increase will depend on activity levels and competitive pressures.
This Item 7.01 contains forward-looking statements that anticipate future performance such as the Company's prospects, expected revenues, and expenses and profits. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate, and they are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. These risk factors include, without limitation, general global business and economic conditions, drilling activity and rig count, pricing volatility for oil and gas, reduction in demand for our services and products, risks from operating hazards such as fire, explosion and oil spills, unexpected litigation for which insurance and customer agreements do not provide complete protection, consequences of changes in exchange rates and declines in the U.S. dollar, and risks associated with our international operations, including potential instability and hostilities. This list of risk factors is not intended to be comprehensive. More extensive information concerning risk factors may be found in our periodic public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished pursuant to Regulation FD and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
