                        SECTION I - REGISTRANT'S BUSINESS
                                 AND OPERATIONS


ITEM 1.01.        ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

      On September 22, 2006, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated as of September 22, 2006 (the "Merger Agreement"), with Superior Energy
Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and SPN Acquisition Sub,
Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger
Sub"), pursuant to which we will be merged with and into Merger Sub and our
separate corporate existence will cease (the "Merger"). Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each of our outstanding shares
of common stock, par value $0.0005 per share ("Common Stock") (other than Common
Stock owned by us or any stockholders who are entitled to and who properly
exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be cancelled and converted
into the right to receive (i) 0.452 shares of the common stock, par value $0.001
per share, of Parent (the "Parent Common Stock") and (ii) $14.50 in cash
(together, the "Consideration"). At the effective time of the Merger, all of our
outstanding restricted stock units will become fully vested and the unrestricted
shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting will be exchanged for the
Consideration. At the effective time of the Merger, each of our outstanding
stock options will be fully vested and will be cancelled for a consideration
payable in cash and Parent Common Stock based on a formula set forth in the
Merger Agreement, less the exercise price per share of such options.

      Our Board of Directors unanimously approved the Merger and the Merger
Agreement at a special meeting on September 22, 2006.

      The Merger is conditioned, among other things, on:

            o  the approval of the Merger Agreement by the holders of at least a
               majority of our outstanding shares of Common Stock;

            o  the termination or expiration of any applicable waiting periods
               under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976,
               as amended;

            o  the absence of any legal prohibition on completion of the Merger;

            o  the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 related
               to the Merger to be filed by Parent with the o Securities and
               Exchange Commission (the "SEC");

            o  the authorization for listing of the shares of Parent Common
               Stock to be issued in the Merger on the New York Stock Exchange;

            o  the receipt by Parent and us of tax opinions to the effect that
               the Merger will be treated for o federal income tax purposes as a
               reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the
               Internal Revenue Code;

            o  the performance of the parties' obligations required to be
               performed at or prior to the closing of the Merger;

                                       2
<PAGE>

            o  the accuracy as of the closing of the Merger of the
               representations and warranties of Parent and us set forth in the
               Merger Agreement;

            o  the absence of a material adverse change, as defined in the
               Merger Agreement, with respect to us or Parent; and

            o  the exercise by less than 10% of the total outstanding shares of
               our Common Stock at the effective time of the Merger of appraisal
               rights under Delaware law being .

The Merger is expected to close late in the fourth quarter of 2006. Parent and
we have each agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be
taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and assist and cooperate
with each other in doing, all things necessary, proper and advisable to
consummate and make effective the Merger.

      The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights and, upon the
termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, we may be
required to pay Parent a termination fee equal to $11.5 million. The Merger
Agreement also includes other representations, warranties and covenants that are
customary for transactions of this type.

      A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this Current Report on Form
8-K as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated by reference as though fully set forth
herein. The foregoing summary description of the Merger Agreement and the
transactions contemplated therein is not intended to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Merger Agreement.

         The Merger Agreement has been included in this Report to provide
investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not
intended to provide any other factual information about us or Parent. The
representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were
made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specified dates, were
solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, and may be
subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including
complete waiver or qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the
parties in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement. The
representations and warranties may have been made for the purposes of allocating
contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of
establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of
materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those
applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the
Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and
covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state
of facts or condition of the parties or any of their respective subsidiaries or
affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the
representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger
Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in our
public disclosures.

      We and Parent will file a proxy statement/prospectus, and both companies
will file other relevant documents, concerning the proposed Merger transaction
with the SEC. Investors are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus when it
becomes available and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC because
they will contain important information. Investors will be able to obtain the
documents free of charge at the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. In
addition, investors may obtain documents filed with the SEC by us free of charge
by contacting Mr. Rob McNally, Executive Vice President of our company, at (832)
775-0016 or by visiting our website at www.warriorenergyservices.com.

      Our company, Parent and our respective directors and executive officers
may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from our
stockholders in connection with the Merger. Information about our directors and
executive officers and their ownership of our Common Stock is set forth in our
prospectus dated April 18, 2006, which we filed with the SEC and may be obtained
as described above. Information about the directors and executive officers of
Parent and their ownership of Parent Common Stock is set forth in the proxy
statement for Parent's 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Investors may obtain
additional information regarding the names, affiliations and interests of such
participants by reading the proxy statement/prospectus for the Merger when it
becomes available.

the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees that the contemplated
merger will occur and actual results or developments may differ materially from

closing in the Merger Agreement, as well as other risk factors described from
time to time in Warrior Energy's filings with the SEC. Warrior Energy assumes no
obligation to update publicly such forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise except as required by law.
Warrior Energy cautions readers that various risk factors could cause Warrior
Energy's operating results and financial condition to differ materially from
those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by Warrior Energy and
could adversely affect Warrior Energy's ability to pursue the contemplated
merger and its business strategy and plans. Readers should refer to Warrior
Energy's Annual Report on Form 10-K and the risk factors disclosed therein.

                                 AND OPERATIONS

ITEM 1.01.        ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

      On September 22, 2006, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated as of September 22, 2006 (the "Merger Agreement"), with Superior Energy
Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and SPN Acquisition Sub,
Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger
Sub"), pursuant to which we will be merged with and into Merger Sub and our
separate corporate existence will cease (the "Merger"). Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each of our outstanding shares
of common stock, par value $0.0005 per share ("Common Stock") (other than Common
Stock owned by us or any stockholders who are entitled to and who properly
exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be cancelled and converted
into the right to receive (i) 0.452 shares of the common stock, par value $0.001
per share, of Parent (the "Parent Common Stock") and (ii) $14.50 in cash
(together, the "Consideration"). At the effective time of the Merger, all of our
outstanding restricted stock units will become fully vested and the unrestricted
shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting will be exchanged for the
Consideration. At the effective time of the Merger, each of our outstanding
stock options will be fully vested and will be cancelled for a consideration
payable in cash and Parent Common Stock based on a formula set forth in the
Merger Agreement, less the exercise price per share of such options.

      Our Board of Directors unanimously approved the Merger and the Merger
Agreement at a special meeting on September 22, 2006.

      The Merger is conditioned, among other things, on:

            o  the approval of the Merger Agreement by the holders of at least a
               majority of our outstanding shares of Common Stock;

            o  the termination or expiration of any applicable waiting periods
               under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976,
               as amended;

            o  the absence of any legal prohibition on completion of the Merger;

            o  the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 related
               to the Merger to be filed by Parent with the o Securities and
               Exchange Commission (the "SEC");

            o  the authorization for listing of the shares of Parent Common
               Stock to be issued in the Merger on the New York Stock Exchange;

            o  the receipt by Parent and us of tax opinions to the effect that
               the Merger will be treated for o federal income tax purposes as a
               reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the
               Internal Revenue Code;

            o  the performance of the parties' obligations required to be
               performed at or prior to the closing of the Merger;

                                       2
o  the accuracy as of the closing of the Merger of the
               representations and warranties of Parent and us set forth in the
               Merger Agreement;

            o  the absence of a material adverse change, as defined in the
               Merger Agreement, with respect to us or Parent; and

            o  the exercise by less than 10% of the total outstanding shares of
               our Common Stock at the effective time of the Merger of appraisal
               rights under Delaware law being .

The Merger is expected to close late in the fourth quarter of 2006. Parent and
we have each agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be
taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and assist and cooperate
with each other in doing, all things necessary, proper and advisable to
consummate and make effective the Merger.

      The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights and, upon the
termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, we may be
required to pay Parent a termination fee equal to $11.5 million. The Merger
Agreement also includes other representations, warranties and covenants that are
customary for transactions of this type.

      A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this Current Report on Form
8-K as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated by reference as though fully set forth

transactions contemplated therein is not intended to be complete and is

covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state
of facts or condition of the parties or any of their respective subsidiaries or
affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the
representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger
Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in our
public disclosures.

      We and Parent will file a proxy statement/prospectus, and both companies
will file other relevant documents, concerning the proposed Merger transaction
with the SEC. Investors are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus when it
becomes available and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC because
they will contain important information. Investors will be able to obtain the

may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from our
stockholders in connection with the Merger. Information about our directors and
executive officers and their ownership of our Common Stock is set forth in our
prospectus dated April 18, 2006, which we filed with the SEC and may be obtained

Report are "forward-looking statements" as defined under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, that involve risks and uncertainties. Warrior Energy
intends that the forward-looking statements herein be covered by the safe-harbor
provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and this statement is included for the purpose of
complying with these safe-harbor provisions. Although Warrior Energy believes
the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees that the contemplated
merger will occur and actual results or developments may differ materially from
those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include a delay in
or the failure to obtain required approvals and failure to satisfy conditions to
closing in the Merger Agreement, as well as other risk factors described from
time to time in Warrior Energy's filings with the SEC. Warrior Energy assumes no
obligation to update publicly such forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise except as required by law.
Warrior Energy cautions readers that various risk factors could cause Warrior
Energy's operating results and financial condition to differ materially from
those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by Warrior Energy and
could adversely affect Warrior Energy's ability to pursue the contemplated
merger and its business strategy and plans. Readers should refer to Warrior
Energy's Annual Report on Form 10-K and the risk factors disclosed therein.
