Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Plans Administration Committee

Individual Account Retirement Plan for

Bargaining Unit Employees at the Cooper
Cameron Corporation, Buffalo, New York Plant

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the Individual Account Retirement Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees at the Cooper Cameron Corporation, Buffalo, New York Plant (the “Plan”), as of December 31, 2004, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An also audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2004 and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Individual Account Retirement Plan for Bargaining
Unit Employees at the Cooper Cameron Corporation,
Buffalo, New York Plant

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2004

1. Description of the Plan

The Individual Account Retirement Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees at the Cooper Cameron Corporation, Buffalo, New York Plant (the “Plan”), is a profit sharing plan which provides payments to eligible employees of Cooper Cameron Corporation and certain subsidiaries (the “Company”) at termination, retirement, death, or disability. All union employees of the Company belonging to Local Lodge No. 330, District 76 of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, are eligible for participation. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

The Company contributes to each participant’s account monthly based on hours actively worked and specific contribution rates as defined in the plan document. This contribution is also paid on each hour of overtime, vacation, or holiday, but excludes sick time for which the employee may be paid. Company contributions are made to the investment fund options that the employee elects. Vesting in employer contributions is on a graduated scale with 100% vesting at five years.

Amounts which are forfeited due to a participant’s termination of employment prior to vesting in employer contributions made on the participant’s behalf are used to reduce the required Company contribution in subsequent periods. In 2004 forfeited nonvested accounts totaling $3,370 were used to reduce employer contributions. Upon termination of the Plan, all remaining forfeitures are to be allocated to the participant accounts.

The Plan allows for employee contributions based on hours actively worked and elected contribution rates. Electing to contribute is voluntary, and these contributions are immediately 100% vested. Participants may elect to have their contributions allocated in 1% increments to one or more of the investment fund options offered by the Plan Allocations among the investment accounts may be changed at the participant’s discretion on a daily basis.

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of plan termination, participants would become 100% vested in their employer contributions.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)

More detailed information about the Plan, including the funding, vesting, and benefit provisions, is contained in the Summary Plan Description. A copy of this pamphlet is available at the Company’s corporate office.

2. Significant Accounting Principles

Accounting Principles

The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution.

Investments

The Plan’s investments are held in the Cooper Cameron Corporation Master Trust for Defined Contribution Plans (the “Master Trust”). Nationwide Trust Company is the trustee. The Plan participates in only certain investment accounts of the Master Trust. The following is a summary of those investment accounts and the Plan’s beneficial interest in those investment accounts as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

The Master Trust’s security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Interest income is recorded as earned. Dividends are recorded as of the ex-dividend date.

The Master Trust’s investments in securities traded on the exchanges are valued at the last reported sale price on the valuation date. Money market funds are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

Investment contracts within the PRIMCO Stable Value Fund, with varying contract rates and maturity dates, are fully benefit responsive and are therefore stated at contract value. Contract value represents cost plus accrued income. Although it is management’s intention to hold the investment contracts until maturity, certain investment contracts provide for adjustments to contract value for withdrawals made prior to maturity. The INVESCO Group Trust for Employee Benefit Plans is a 103-12 investment entity, in which the assets of multiple qualified plans are invested by the sponsor, INVESCO, and is comprised of bank-issued synthetic contracts.

2. Significant Accounting Principles (continued)

Risks and Uncertainties

The Master Trust provides for various investments which, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is likely that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and participant account balances.

3. Separate Investment Accounts of the Cooper Cameron Corporation Master Trust

The purpose of the Master Trust is the collective investment of the assets of participating employee benefit plans of the Company. Master Trust assets are allocated among participating plans by assigning to each plan those transactions (primarily contributions, participant loan transactions, benefit payments, and certain administrative expenses) which can be specifically identified and by allocating among all plans, in proportion to the fair value of the assets assigned to each plan, the income and expenses resulting from the collective investment of the assets. The Master Trust includes assets of other employee benefit plans in addition to this Plan.

3. Separate Investment Accounts of the Cooper Cameron Corporation Master Trust (continued)

PRIMCO Stable Value Fund (“Stable Value Fund”)

The Stable Value Fund invests in actively managed synthetic bank and insurance company investment contracts (“SICs”) and in guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”). The GICs are promises by lnsurance companies or banks to repay the principal plus accrued income at contract maturity. SICs differ from GICs in that the assets supporting the SICs are owned by the Master Trust. A bank or insurance company issues a wrapper contract that allows participant-directed transactions to be made at contract value. Wrapper contracts are valued as the difference between the fair value of the supporting assets and the contract value. The assets supporting the SICs owned by the Master Trust are comprised primarily of a U.S. Treasury Note and 103-12 investment entities with a total fair value of $58,501,838 and $54,998,649 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The contract values of the SICs at December 31, 2004 and 2003, are $57,203,060 and $52,820,142, respectively.

Interest crediting rates on the GICs in the Stable Value Fund are generally determined at the time of purchase. Interest crediting rates on the SICs are reset periodically based on the yields of the supporting assets. At December 31, 2004, the interest crediting rates for all investment contracts range from 1.70% to 6.99%. At December 31, 2003, the interest crediting rates for all investment contracts range from 1.46% to 9.86%.

For 2004 and 2003, the average annual yield for the investment contracts in the Stable Value Fund was 4.62% and 4.16%, respectively. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, fair value of the investment contracts in the Stable Value Fund was estimated to be approximately 102% and 104% of contract value, respectively. Fair value of the GICs is estimated by discounting the weighted average of the Stable Value Fund’s cash flows at the then-current interest crediting rate for a comparable maturity investment contract. Fair value of the SICs is based on the market value of the assets supporting the SICs.

4. Income Tax Status

The Plan has been designed to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) under Section 401(a) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. A favorable determination letter was received from the Internal Revenue Service on September 3, 2002. Since receiving the determination letter, the Plan has been amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.
