POWER OF ATTORNEY

Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby constitutes and appoints each of
William B. Masters and Kelly C. Simoneaux, as the undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

        (1)        prepare, execute in the undersigned's name and on the undersigned's behalf, and submit to the
                U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Form ID, including amendments thereto,
                and any other documents necessary or appropriate to obtain codes and passwords enabling the
                undersigned to make electronic filings with the SEC of reports required by Section 16(a) of
                the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any rule or regulation of the SEC;

       (2)        execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's capacity as an officer and/or
                director of Superior Energy Services, Inc. ("Superior"), Forms 3, 4 and 5 in accordance with
                Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder;

        (3)        do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned which may be necessary or
                desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4 or 5 and timely file such form with the
                United States Securities Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or similar authority; and

        (4)        take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the foregoing which, in the opinion
                of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally required by,
                the undersigned, it being understood that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf
                of the undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such
                terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such attorney-in-fact's discretion.

                The undersigned hereby grants to such attorneys-in-fact full power and authority to do and perform any and
        every act and thing whatsoever requisite, necessary or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights
        and powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or could do if
        personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that
        such attorneys-in-fact, or any such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause
        to be done by virtue of this power of attorney and the rights and powers herein granted. The undersigned
        acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at the request of the
        undersigned, are not assuming, nor is Superior assuming, any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply
        with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

                This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the undersigned is no longer required to
        file Forms 3, 4 and 5 with respect to the undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by
        Superior, unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the foregoing
        attorney-in-fact.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be executed as of this
9th day of December 2011.
