     PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS. The parties to the Credit Agreement wish to amend 
the Credit Agreement in certain respects as hereinafter set forth. Terms defined
in the Credit Agreement are used in this Amendment as defined in the Credit 
Agreement and, except as otherwise indicated, all references to Sections and 
Articles refer to the corresponding Sections and Articles of the Credit 
Agreement.

     The parties hereto therefore agree as follows:

     SECTION 1. Amendments. Effective as of the Amendment Effective Date (as
                ----------
defined in Section 2 hereof), and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions 
precedent set forth in Section 2 hereof, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended 
as follows:

     a.  Section 1.01 is amended by inserting the following defined terms in the
appropriate alphabetical order:

         "Available Commitment" means, at any time, (a) the lesser of the 
          --------------------
     Availability and the Commitment minus (b) the sum of (i) the aggregate
                                     -----
     principal amount of all Advances then outstanding plus (ii) the Letter of
                                                       ----
     Credit Usage.

         "Unused Commitment" means, at any time, the Commitment minus the sum of
          -----------------                                     -----
(i) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances then outstanding plus (ii) 
                                                                    ----

     b.  Section 1.01 is amended by deleting the defined term "Commitment" and 
restating it as follows:

         "Commitment" means $35,000,000, or such lesser amount to which the
          ----------
     Commitment may be reduced from time to time in accordance with Section
     2.07.

     c.  Section 2.01 is deleted and restated as follows:

         SECTION 2.01. The Advances.  The Lender agrees, on the terms and 
                       ------------
     conditions hereinafter set forth, to make advances (the "Advances") to the
     Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the
     date hereof to but excluding the Loan Maturity Date in an amount not to
     exceed the Available Commitment on such Business Day. Each Advance shall be
     in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000
     in excess thereof, except that a Base Rate Advance may be in an amount
                        ------
     equal to the maximum Advance available hereunder. Within the limits set
     forth in this Section 2.01, the Borrower may borrow, repay pursuant to

     d.  Subsection (a) of Section 2.04 is deleted and restated as follows:

         (a) Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this 
             -----------------
     Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the

<PAGE>
 
     the Issuing Bank shall issue Letters of Credit on any Business Day in an
     aggregate face amount not to exceed the Available Commitment on such
     Business Day. In no event shall the Issuing Bank issue (i) any Documentary
     Letter of Credit having an expiration date more than 365 days after its
     date of issuance or (y) any Standby Letter of Credit having an expiration
     date more than thirty months after its date of issuance. The Issuing Bank
     shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if the Lender shall
     have notified the Issuing Bank and the Borrower that no further Letters of
     Credit are to be issued by the Issuing Bank due to a failure by the
     Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.03,
     and such notice shall not have expired or been withdrawn by the Lender. The
     issuance of any Letter of Credit shall require the satisfaction of each
     condition set forth in Section 3.03.

     e.  Subsection (b) of Section 2.04 is amended by deleting clause (i) 
thereof and restating it as follows:

     (i) the face amount of such Letter of Credit does not exceed the Available

     annum, payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each January,
     April, July and October during the term of the Commitment, commencing
     April 1, 1993 and on the Termination Date.

     g.  Subsections (a) and (b) of Section 2.07 are amended by deleting all
references to "the unused portion of the commitment of the Lender to make
Advances pursuant to Section 2.01 and/or the commitment of the Issuing Bank to
issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.04" and substituting "the Unused
Commitment".

     SECTION 2.  Conditions to Effectiveness.  This Amendment shall be

Varco International, Inc.

1997 Second Quarter Report
<PAGE>
 
To Our Shareholders


As market conditions continued to improve, second quarter Revenues, Net Income 
and order bookings each were the highest in the Company's history. This market 
improvement reflects an extension and acceleration of several trends.
     The key driving force is increasing exploration and production spending by 
oil and gas companies. Salomon Brothers' mid-year update of their Survey and 
Analysis of 1997 Worldwide Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Expenditures 
indicates that these companies are now planning to increase spending 17.9 
per cent this year, above both the 15.2 per cent growth rate for 1996 and the 
initial projection of 14.7 per cent for 1997. This spending translates into 
increased demand for drilling rigs; which, in turn, yields higher day rates and 
rig utilization, resulting in improved cash flow for our key customers--the 
drilling contractors.
     Of particular significance to Varco is the growth in the offshore drilling 
market, since the dollar value of the drilling equipment typical of an offshore 
rig is significantly greater than that of a land rig. Utilization of the 
offshore rig fleet is currently reported to be approximately 95 per cent. 
However, excluding rigs undergoing upgrade or otherwise not available, the 
mobile offshore rig fleet is essentially fully utilized.
     Our customers' response to these conditions is impacting Varco's business 
in three important Ways:
   . first, the increased drilling activity is resulting in greater demand for
     spare and replacement parts and equipment; 
   . second, existing rigs are being upgraded to meet today's drilling
     requirements;
   . third, rigs which had previously been removed from the fleet are being 
     reconverted to drilling use, and new rigs are being constructed.
As a result, we are experiencing improving financial results.   
     Second quarter Revenues of $129.6 million were up 43 per cent from $90.4 
million in the comparable quarter of 1996; and Net Income of $10.8 million, $.33
per share, was 90 per cent above the $5.7 million, $.18 per share, earned in the
year-ago period. Order bookings for the most recent three months totaled $172.7
million, more than double the $85.2 million recorded in the comparable period of
last year.
     The second quarter Revenue level was 28 per cent above that of the
preceding quarter as we began to ramp up our manufacturing capacity and output.
During the first half of the year we invested approximately $8 million in
increasing manufacturing capacity and expect to continue building capacity
over the next few quarters. The strength of our recent order rate dictates that
we make these investments to satisfy the requirements of our customers.
     We believe that our industry is moving from a recovery phase to a state of
healthy growth and expansion. If so, the size and capability of the offshore rig
fleet is not sufficient to meet the current and future needs of the world's oil
and gas companies. As that fleet is expanded, upgraded and replaced, the kinds
of equipment designed and supplied by Varco are a critical component. We have
made a substantial investment of time, energy, and human and financial resources
in positioning ourselves to flourish in such an environment. We are committed to
doing so, and to providing commensurate rewards for our shareholders.
     We appreciate your continued support.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL INDUSTRY CONDITIONS
- ------------------------------------
     
     Worldwide drilling activity, as measured by the average number of active 
drilling rigs, increased approximately 18% in the second quarter of 1997 to an 
average of approximately 2,004 from an average of approximately 1,704 during the
same period in 1996.  North American drilling activity increased approximately 
31% to an average of approximately 1,192 rigs and international drilling 
activity increased to an average of approximately 812 rigs as compared to 794 in
the second quarter 1996.

     Offshore drilling activity continued its year-over-year strength, as
reflected by an increase in rig utilization (mobile offshore rigs under contract
as a percent of available rigs). For the second quarter of 1997, mobile offshore
rig utilization averaged 95% as compared to 89% in the second quarter of 1996.  
The higher utilization was accompanied by increasing day rates and longer 
contract periods, particularly among the "premium" offshore rigs.

     The increase in drilling activity, particularly the increase in offshore 
rig utilization, has led to higher day rates and improved profits and cash flow 
for the Company's major customers, the offshore drilling contractors.

     Order bookings increased $87.5 million, or 103%, in the second quarter of 
1997 and $125.6 million, or 67%, in the first six months of 1997 as compared to 
the same periods of 1996.  These increases are primarily due to orders 
associated with the upgrading and construction of offshore drilling rigs, 
particularly floating rigs that are capable of drilling in water depths 
exceeding 3,000 feet.  Each such rig creates significant potential for the high 
dollar value products provided by the Shaffer and Drilling Systems Divisions as 
well as the products of the Company's other Divisions.  In addition, the 
incoming order rate was favorably impacted by the overall 18% increase in 
worldwide drilling activity discussed above.

     The Company's increased revenue levels in the 1997 periods as compared to 
1996 are generally due to improved industry conditions as discussed above.  
Particularly significant has been the impact on Shaffer of the upgrading, 
conversion and new construction of floating offshore rigs.  Shaffer's product 
line includes a significant amount of equipment of the types essential to these 
activities.  Shaffer Division revenues accounted for 55% of second quarter 
increase from the comparable year-ago period, and 70% of the increase for the 
six-month period.

     At June 30, 1997 the Company's backlog of unshipped orders was 
approximately $269.4 million as compared to $186.9 million at December 31, 1996.
Orders for new rigs and major upgrades generally include the Company's longer 
lead-time products, nine to twelve months.  This has contributed to the 
Company's backlog increasing significantly during the last six months to its 
highest level in the Company's history.  The Company expects that a majority of 
the backlog will ship by December 31, 1997 resulting in revenues for the 
remaining quarters of 1997 being at a higher rate than the second quarter.  In 
accordance with industry practice, orders and commitments generally are 
cancelable by customers at any time.

     Gross margins (net sales and rental income less costs of sales and rental 
income) as a percentage of net sales and rental income were slightly improved 
year-over-year.  For the first half of 1997 gross margins were 34.4%, compared 
to 34.2% for the same period in 1996 and they were 34.5% and 33.4% in the second
quarters of 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Gross margins were favorably impacted 
by improved margins at the Drilling Systems and Oil Tools Divisions due to cost 
improvements.  During the first half of 1996 Drilling Systems experienced low 
margins on TDS-9 units which were improved in 1997.  Oil Tools improved margins 
are mostly due to lower manufacturing cost.  Taken alone, each of the foregoing 
would have improved margins by approximately 1%.  These improved margins were 
offset by the impact of Shaffer's higher proportion of revenues.  Shaffer's 
products carry lower gross margins (due principally to price competition) than 
the combined gross margins of the other Divisions.

     The Company believes that new product development is a significant factor 
for the future of the Company.  During the first six months of 1997 the Company 
spent $9.0 million or 3.9% of revenues on new product development.  This 
compares to $7.4 million or 4.6% of revenues during the same period in 1996.
<PAGE>
 
     The increases in selling, general and administrative expenses in 1997 as 
compared to 1996 are primarily a result of activity related to the increased 
revenues. As a percent of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses
were down year-to-year. For the first half of 1997 this percent was 17.4% and it
was 17.0% for the second quarter of 1997. As a percent of revenues, selling,
general and administrative expenses were 20.6% and 19.0% for the first half and
second quarter of 1996, respectively.

     Overall Company employment at June 30, 1997 was 2,373 (including 309 
temporary employees) which compares to 1,803 (including 235 temporary employees)
a year ago. This increase is primarily due to an increase in manufacturing 
employees. 

     The effective tax rate for the first half of 1997 was 35.4% as compared to
34.3% for the first half of 1996. The higher tax rate is due to a higher 
effective foreign tax rate in the first half of 1997 as compared to 1996.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The cash and cash equivalents of $6.8 million are not significantly changed
from the December 31, 1996 balance of $5.8 million.

     In July 1992 the Company sold $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of 
its 8.95% Senior Notes Due June 30, 1999 (the "Senior Notes") to a group of ten 
institutional investors pursuant to a Note Agreement dated as of July 1, 1992
(the "Note Agreement"). The $20.0 million principal balance of the Senior Notes
is payable in two equal installments on June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1999.

     On June 27, 1997 the Company entered into a seven-year unsecured revolving 
credit agreement with three banks (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement
provides a credit facility of $65.0 million, inclusive of a $20.0 letter of 
credit subfacility. The maximum available under the Credit Agreement is reduced 
in equal quarterly amounts over the last four years of the Credit Agreement. 
Proceeds from the initial advances were used to payoff a previous credit 
agreement with Citicorp USA, Inc. and Citibank, N.A and to make the June 30, 
1997 principal and interest payment on the Senior Notes. At June 30, 1997 there 
were $19.0 million in advances outstanding and $9.7 million in letters of credit
outstanding under this facility.

     Both the Note Agreement and the Credit Agreement restrict the payment of 
dividends (other than dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock) on, 
and repurchases of, Common Stock. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, which
is generally the more restrictive of these, the amount available for the payment
of dividends on, and repurchases of, Common Stock is limited to $5 million plus
25% of the Company's consolidated net income arising after June 30, 1997,
computed on a cumulative basis.

     At June 30, 1997 the Company's working capital was $138.1 million as 
compared to $120.2 million at December 31, 1996 and its current ratio was 2.2 to
1.0 as compared to 2.4 to 1.0 at December 31, 1996. The preceding changes are
primarily due to increases in inventory and receivables during the first half of
1997. Long-term debt as a percent of total capitalization was 12% at June 30,
1997 as compared to 10% at December 31, 1996. The increase in this percentage is
primarily due to capital expenditures made in the first half of 1997.

     The Company's capital expenditures during the first half of 1997 were $11.5
million as compared to $4.9 million for the first half of 1996. The Company's 
current plans for capital expenditures in 1997 is an additional $15.0 million. 
The Company believes its revolving credit facility and its cash and cash 
equivalents will be sufficient to meet its capital expenditures and operating 
cash needs for the next twelve months.
