ITEM 2.03 CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT.

        On July 11, 2005, Oil States International, Inc. ("Oil States")
completed the sale to RBC Capital Markets Corporation (the "Initial Purchaser")
of $50 million aggregate principal amount of its 2 3/8% Contingent Convertible
Senior Notes due 2025 (the "Notes"), the form of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit 4.6, pursuant to an option granted to the Initial Purchaser under a
Purchase Agreement dated June 16, 2005 (the "Purchase Agreement").

        The Notes were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), and were sold to the Initial Purchaser in
reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act. The Initial Purchaser of the Notes then sold the Notes to
qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemption from registration
provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Oil States relied on these
exemptions from registration based on representations made by the Initial
Purchaser in the Purchase Agreement.

        The Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture, dated June 21,
2005, between Oil States and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee,
a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.5. Pursuant to a registration
rights agreement, dated June 21, 2005, with the Initial Purchaser, a copy of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.4, Oil States agreed to file a shelf
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering
resales of the Notes and Oil States' common stock issuable upon conversion of
the Notes.

        The summary of the foregoing transaction is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the text of the related agreements, which are included as exhibits
hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
