Superior Energy Services, Inc. Signs Definitive Merger Agreement
to Acquire Warrior Energy Services Corporation

Accretive deal creates leading North American production enhancement company
Company to host conference call at 10 a.m. Eastern Time today

Harvey, La. — September 25, 2006 — Superior Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: SPN) announced today that it has signed a definitive merger agreement to acquire Warrior Energy Services Corporation (NASDAQ: WARR) for approximately $175 million in cash and 5.3 million shares of common stock. The transaction is subject to regulatory review and customary closing conditions, and is expected to close late in the fourth quarter of 2006. Superior estimates the acquisition of Warrior to be accretive to 2007 earnings per share. In connection with this transaction, Superior has secured a commitment for $200 million in long-term debt.

     Terence Hall, Superior’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “This accretive acquisition represents an important step in our continuing strategy of significantly diversifying our services footprint beyond the Gulf of Mexico. It will appreciably strengthen our foothold in the domestic onshore market, bringing with it a seasoned management team with extensive onshore oilfield services experience and over 570 skilled employees. Once closed, we will be the leading North American production enhancement company with an expansive platform to introduce existing and new, highly technical well intervention services and solutions in virtually all domestic producing basins. Additionally, we intend to use our cash flow to help Warrior fund its capital expenditure program, highlighted by orders for 32 coiled tubing spreads over the next 24 months.”
