damages for breaches of their fiduciary duties as directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;). By virtue of these provisions and under current Delaware law, a director of the Company will
not be personally liable for monetary damages for a breach of his or her fiduciary duty except for liability for (a)&nbsp;a breach of his or her duty of loyalty to the Company or to its stockholders, (b)&nbsp;acts or omissions not in good faith or
that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c)&nbsp;dividends or stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law and (d)&nbsp;any transaction from which he or she receives an improper personal benefit.
In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that if Delaware law is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of the directors shall be eliminated or limited to the
fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as amended. These provisions pertain only to breaches of duty by directors as directors and not in any other corporate capacity, such as officers, and limit liability only for breaches of fiduciary duties
under Delaware corporate law and not for violations of other laws such as the federal securities laws. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our certificate of incorporation also requires us to indemnify our directors and officers to the
fullest extent permitted by the DGCL against certain expenses and costs, judgments, settlements and fines incurred in the defense of any claim, including any claim brought by or in the right of the Company, to which they were made parties by reason
of being or having been directors and officers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under Section&nbsp;6 of our bylaws, we are required to defend and indemnify each person
who is involved in any threatened or actual action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or by reason of the fact that such person was serving in a similar position with respect to
another entity at our request to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, the director or officer is not entitled to indemnification if (i)&nbsp;the action was initiated by the director or officer and (ii)&nbsp;the action has not been
authorized by our board of directors. The rights conferred by Section&nbsp;6 of our bylaws are contractual rights and include the right to be paid expenses incurred in defending the action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, we have entered into an indemnity agreement with each of our directors pursuant to which we have agreed under certain
circumstances to purchase and maintain directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance. The agreements also provide that we will indemnify the directors against any costs and expenses, judgments, settlements and fines incurred in connection
with any claim involving them by reason of their position as a director that are in excess of the coverage provided by such insurance (provided that the director meets certain standards of conduct). Under the indemnity agreements, we are not
required to purchase and maintain directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance if our board of directors unanimously determines in good faith that there is insufficient benefit to us from the insurance. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The foregoing is only a general summary of (1)&nbsp;certain aspects of Delaware law, (2)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s certificate of incorporation
and bylaws dealing with indemnification of directors and officers, and (3)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s indemnity agreement with each director, and does not purport to be complete. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions
of Sections 102 and&nbsp;145 of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, and the Company&#146;s form indemnity agreement with each director. </P>

suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,

The following documents, which have been filed by Superior Energy Services, Inc. (the "Company" or the "Registrant") with
the Commission, are incorporated herein by reference:
(a) The Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2015, filed pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), on February 25, 2016;
(b) All other reports filed by us pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Annual

(c) The description of the Company's Common Stock included in its Registration Statement on Form 8-A/A filed with
the Commission on May 3, 2001 under the Exchange Act, including any amendment thereto or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents filed by us with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, and 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date
of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates that all securities offered have been sold or that deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall, except to the extent otherwise provided by
Regulation S-K or any other rule promulgated by the Commission, be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statements contained in a document

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors
and Officers.
Our certificate of incorporation contains provisions eliminating the personal liability of our directors for monetary
damages for breaches of their fiduciary duties as directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"). By virtue of these provisions and under current Delaware law, a director of the Company will
not be personally liable for monetary damages for a breach of his or her fiduciary duty except for liability for (a) a breach of his or her duty of loyalty to the Company or to its stockholders, (b) acts or omissions not in good faith or
that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) dividends or stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law and (d) any transaction from which he or she receives an improper personal benefit.
In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that if Delaware law is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of the directors shall be eliminated or limited to the
fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as amended. These provisions pertain only to breaches of duty by directors as directors and not in any other corporate capacity, such as officers, and limit liability only for breaches of fiduciary duties
under Delaware corporate law and not for violations of other laws such as the federal securities laws.
Our certificate of incorporation also requires us to indemnify our directors and officers to the
fullest extent permitted by the DGCL against certain expenses and costs, judgments, settlements and fines incurred in the defense of any claim, including any claim brought by or in the right of the Company, to which they were made parties by reason
of being or having been directors and officers.
Under Section 6 of our bylaws, we are required to defend and indemnify each person
who is involved in any threatened or actual action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or by reason of the fact that such person was serving in a similar position with respect to
another entity at our request to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, the director or officer is not entitled to indemnification if (i) the action was initiated by the director or officer and (ii) the action has not been
authorized by our board of directors. The rights conferred by Section 6 of our bylaws are contractual rights and include the right to be paid expenses incurred in defending the action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition.
In addition, we have entered into an indemnity agreement with each of our directors pursuant to which we have agreed under certain
circumstances to purchase and maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance. The agreements also provide that we will indemnify the directors against any costs and expenses, judgments, settlements and fines incurred in connection
with any claim involving them by reason of their position as a director that are in excess of the coverage provided by such insurance (provided that the director meets certain standards of conduct). Under the indemnity agreements, we are not
required to purchase and maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance if our board of directors unanimously determines in good faith that there is insufficient benefit to us from the insurance.
The foregoing is only a general summary of (1) certain aspects of Delaware law, (2) the Company's certificate of incorporation
and bylaws dealing with indemnification of directors and officers, and (3) the Company's indemnity agreement with each director, and does not purport to be complete. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions
of Sections 102 and 145 of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, and the Company's form indemnity agreement with each director.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration
Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement
or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
Provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering
thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Houston, State of Texas, on May 24, 2016.
