Item 1.  Financial Statements.

          Pursuant to General Instruction D to Form 10-Q, the Condensed

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
<PAGE>

          Pursuant to General Instruction D to Form 10-Q, Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
contained in the registrant's Second Quarter Report to Shareholders for the
three months ended June 30, 1999, filed as Exhibit 19 hereto, is incorporated
herein by reference.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

          The Company is exposed to certain market risks which are inherent in
the Company's financial instruments and which arise from transactions entered
into in the normal course of business. The Company does not considered these
risks significant, and the Company does not enter into derivative financial
instrument transactions to offset these risks.

  Borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility do not give rise to
significant interest rate risks because these borrowings have a variable
interest rate. The Company has no fixed interest rate debt at June 30, 1999.
Generally, the fair market value of debt with a fixed interest rate will
increase as interest rates fall, and the fair market value will decrease as
interest rates rise. Fixed interest rate borrowings have not been significant
during the three Months ended June 30, 1999.

                           PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2.   Changes in Securities

  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 for a credit facility of $65.0 million, inclusive of a $20.0 million
letter of credit sub-facility. The maximum available under the Credit Agreement
is reduced in equal quarterly amounts over the last four years of the Credit
Agreement.

  The Credit Agreement prohibits any "Restricted Junior Payment" unless (1) at
the time thereof no default exists under the Credit Agreement or will be caused
thereby and (2) the cumulative amount of all Restricted Junior Payments
subsequent to June 27, 1997, would not exceed the sum of $5,000,000 plus 25% of
the Company's consolidated net income arising after June 30, 1997. "Restricted
Junior Payment" is generally defined as (1) any dividend or other distribution
on any class of the Company's capital stock, except a dividend payable solely in
shares of that class; (2) any redemption, purchase or other acquisition for
value of any shares of any class of the capital stock of the Company; (3) any
payment made to retire or obtain the surrender of any outstanding warrants,
options or similar rights to acquire any shares of any class of the capital
stock of the Company; and (4) any payment on the Senior Notes other than
regularly scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon.

          Amendments to the Varco International, Inc. 1990 Stock Option Plan

          WHEREAS,   the Board of Directors of the Corporation deem it desirable
          and in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders that
          the Corporation's 1990 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") be amended in
          certain respects;

          NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that paragraph F of Section 6(b) of
          the Plan be, and the same hereby is, amended to read in its entirety
          as follows:

               F.   Other Severance.  In the event an employee's employment with
          Varco and its subsidiaries is terminated for any reason other than as
          set forth in paragraphs D and E above, any Nonstatutory Option which
          he holds may be exercised, to the extent it was exercisable on the
          date of termination of his employment, within such period after the
          date of termination of his employment (not to exceed ninety (90) days)
          as the Committee shall prescribe in his option agreement. For purposes
          of this Paragraph F, an employee's employment shall be deemed to have
          terminated on the earlier of the date his employment terminates or the
          date he receives written notice that his employment is or will be
          terminated. Such Option shall expire upon the expiration of such
          period unless the employee dies prior thereto, in which event he shall
          be deemed to have died on the date his employment terminated;
          provided, however, in no event shall such Option be exercised more
          than ten years from the date such Option was granted.

     and further

          RESOLVED, that paragraph  F of Section 6(c) of the Plan be, and the
          same hereby is, amended to read in its entirety as follows:

               F. Other Severance.  In the event an employee's employment with
          Varco and its subsidiaries is terminated for any reason other than as
          set forth in paragraphs D and E above, any Incentive Stock Option
          which he holds may be exercised, to the extent it was exercisable on
          the date of termination of his employment, within such period after
          the date of termination of his employment (not to exceed ninety (90)
          days) as the Committee shall prescribe in his option agreement. For
          purposes of this Paragraph F, an employee's employment shall be deemed
          to have terminated on the earlier of the date his employment
          terminates or the date he receives written notice that his employment
          is or will be terminated. Such Option shall expire upon the expiration
          of such period unless the employee dies prior thereto, in which event
          he shall be deemed to have died on the date his employment terminated;
          provided, however, in no event shall such Option be exercised more
          than ten years from the date such Option was granted.

          and further

          RESOLVED, that the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors,
          as the Committee under the Plan, is authorized, in its sole discretion
          and from time to time, to amend any option outstanding under the Plan
          in a manner consistent with the foregoing amendments to the Plan; and

          RESOLVED, that each of the officers of the Corporation be, and he
          hereby is, authorized and directed to perform all acts and to execute
          and deliver all

                 Form of Amendment to Stock Option Agreements

                           VARCO INTERNATIONAL, INC.

                      AMENDMENT TO STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

     This AMENDMENT TO STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT, dated ___________, is made by and
between VARCO INTERNATIONAL, INC., a California corporation ("Varco") and the
employee executing this Amendment below as Employee (the "Employee").

                             W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the Employee was granted one or more options on or prior to May
13, 1999 (the "Outstanding Options") to purchase shares of Varco's Common Stock
pursuant to Varco's 1990 Stock Option Plan; and

     WHEREAS, the Outstanding Options are evidenced by one or more Stock Option
Agreements (the "Option Agreements") made by Varco for the benefit of the
Employee; and

     WHEREAS, on May 13, 1999, the Board of Directors of Varco approved certain
amendments to the Plan and authorized the Compensation Committee (the
"Committee") of the Board of Directors of Varco, in its sole discretion, to
amend outstanding options consistent with the amendments to the Plan; and

     WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Varco has
approved an amendment to the Outstanding Options and authorized the execution
and delivery of amendments to the Outstanding Options incorporating such
amendment; and

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     1.   Each of the Outstanding Option Agreements is hereby amended as
follows:

          The provisions of each Outstanding Option Agreement providing for the
     termination of the option upon the termination of the Employee's employment
     with Varco and its subsidiaries in cases other than the Employee's death or
     retirement under certain circumstances, wherever located and however
     designated or numbered, are hereby amended to read in their entirety as
     follows:
<PAGE>

          "Subject to the provisions hereof relating to the termination of the
     Option upon the death of the Employee or the retirement of the Employee in
     specified circumstances, on the 90th day following the termination of the
     employment of Employee with Varco and its subsidiaries for any reason
     whatsoever, including, without limitation, any termination caused by
     Employee's quitting, resigning or having been discharged.  For the purposes
     of this paragraph an Employee's employment shall be deemed to have
     terminated at the earlier of the date his/her employment actually
     terminates or the date he/she receives written notice that his/her
     employment is or will be terminated.  If the Employee dies after his
     employment has terminated but before the expiration of such 90-day period,
     he/she shall be deemed to have died on the date his/her employment
     terminated.  As used in this paragraph, the term "Employee", if not
     otherwise defined herein as the holder of the Option, shall mean the
     employee holding the Option.

     2.  This Amendment shall not be effective with respect to an Outstanding
Option unless executed by both Varco and the Employee prior to the termination
of such Outstanding Option in accordance with its terms, without giving effect
to the foregoing amendment.

     3.  The Company and the Employee confirm that, as amended by this
Amendment, each Outstanding Options shall terminate on the 90th day following
the date hereof, or such earlier date as such Outstanding Option shall terminate
in accordance with its terms.

     3.  This Amendment shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with
the laws of the State of California.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment on the day and
year first above written.

                         1999 SECOND QUARTERLY REPORT

                             Varco is the leading


                             supplier of drilling


                            equipment in the world


                            with key products that


                            enhance the safety and


                             productivity of the


                               drilling process.

                    [LOGO]   TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS,
                             CUSTOMERS AND EMPLOYEES

Although the price of oil has recovered sharply and natural gas prices have
strengthened, overall conditions in the oil service industry remain depressed.
Oil prices averaged slightly more than $17.60 per barrel for the second quarter
and have risen above $20 more recently, as compared to an average of
approximately $13.00 in the previous quarter and $14.70 in the second quarter of
last year. Natural gas prices, which did not suffer as severe a decline,
averaged approximately $2.10 per thousand cubic feet during the most recent
quarter versus an average of approximately $1.75 for the first quarter of this
year and $2.20 for the second quarter a year ago.

     However, these more favorable commodity prices have not yet resulted in any
improvement in our business, as oil companies have not responded with increased
exploration and production spending. Worldwide drilling activity has remained at
historic lows, with the rig count averaging 1,225 for the second quarter, down
16 per cent from the previous quarter and 33 per cent from a year ago.

     The effect of these market conditions on Varco is most clearly reflected in
an incoming order rate of $63.2 million (excluding cancellations of $1.1
million) for the most recent quarter, as compared to $193.6 million in the same
quarter a year ago. For the first six months of 1999 orders totaled $135.5
million (excluding cancellations of $17.0 million) versus $493.2 million
(excluding cancellations of $13.0 million) for the first half of last year.
Because we entered the year with a substantial order backlog, Revenues for the
first two quarters have remained above the incoming order rate. We expect that
condition to continue over the rest of the year.

     Revenues for the second quarter were $155.9 million and Net Income was
$11.2 million, $.17 per (diluted) share. For the second quarter of last year,
Revenues totaled $197.2 million and Net Income was $19.7 million, $.30 per
(diluted) share.

     Most of our order backlog consists of equipment to be installed
on offshore rigs still under construction, the majority of which was ordered in
1997 and 1998. In response
<PAGE>

to declining Revenues, we have reduced our cost structure as aggressively as our
commitments to deliver and install this equipment permit. Meanwhile, many of the
newly constructed deep-water rigs are beginning to drill, and most have an
extensive complement of Varco's newer technology equipment. These rigs are
performing well and beginning to demonstrate the benefits of this advanced
equipment. Notably, one Varco equipped rig recently set a world record, drilling
in water depths exceeding 8,000 feet offshore Brazil.

     Although higher commodity prices provide a reason to be optimistic that
market conditions will improve, and many analysts are forecasting a recovery in
the second half of this year, we face a period of extraordinary market
uncertainty. However, we believe there are several reasons why we are well
positioned to respond to this uncertainty. We have an extremely strong balance
sheet, with no debt as of June 30. We have in place plans to continue reducing
costs as appropriate to the Revenue level. We believe that our newer products
provide opportunity, even in a difficult market. By demonstrating their
potential to significantly reduce drilling costs, we believe that many of these
products can be sold as retrofits to existing rigs and generate additional
Revenue.

     Experience has taught us that any attempt to predict the future direction
of our industry is likely to prove wrong. We believe that adherence to a
consistent strategy of developing and introducing products that reduce drilling
costs, while managing our cost structure to current business levels and
maintaining a strong balance sheet, is the best path to long-term success.

     We appreciate your continued support.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

                          General Industry Conditions

During the second quarter of 1999, commodity prices for oil and gas recovered
from their recent lows. The price of oil averaged approximately $17.64 per
barrel for the second quarter, as compared to an average of $13.20 per barrel
for the first quarter of 1999 and $14.40 per barrel for the year 1998. The price
of natural gas for the second quarter of 1999 averaged approximately $2.10 per
thousand cubic feet as compared to $1.78 for the first quarter of 1999 and was
$2.04 per thousand cubic feet for all of 1998. The low commodity prices in 1998
and early 1999 have led to lower cash flows for the oil companies and a
reduction in exploration and production expenditures, resulting in declining
drilling activity. The second quarter prices are continuing with the price of
oil climbing above $20.00 per barrel and recent gas prices above $2.60 per
thousand cubic feet. These higher prices are yet to have any significant impact
on exploration and production expenditures.

     Worldwide drilling activity, as measured by the average number of active
drilling rigs, decreased approximately 33% in the second quarter of 1999 to an
average of approximately 1,225 from an average of approximately 1,837 during the
same period in 1998. As compared to the first quarter of 1999, the second
quarter average declined approximately 16%. North American drilling activity
decreased approximately 40% as compared to last year and 25% as compared to
first quarter of 1999. International drilling activity was not impacted as much
as North America drilling activity. International activity decreased 25% to an
average of approximately 597 rigs as compared to 797 in the second quarter of
1998.

     Offshore drilling activity decreased year-to-year, as reflected by a
decrease in rig utilization (mobile offshore rigs under contract as a percent of
available rigs). For the first quarter of 1999, mobile offshore rig utilization
averaged approximately 72% as compared to 95% in the second quarter of 1998. The
lower utilization was accompanied by decreasing day rates which have a negative
impact on the cash flows of the Company's primary customer, the drilling
contractor.

</TABLE>

During the second quarter of 1999 new order bookings, before cancellations,
declined to $63.2 million from $193.6 million in the second quarter of 1998.
This decline is primarily the result of the absence of orders associated with
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
Systems and Shaffer Divisions. In addition, new orders were negatively impacted
in all Divisions by the decline in overall drilling activity.

     The revenue decreases, from the second quarter of 1998 in all Divisions
except M/D Totco, primarily were due to lower shipments of equipment for
upgrading, conversion and new construction of offshore drilling rigs. The lower
revenues at M/D Totco were due to the decline in overall drilling activity,
particularly in the U.S. and Canada.

     At June 30, 1999, the Company's backlog of unshipped orders was
approximately $178.8 million as compared to $272.1 at March 31, 1999, and $367.4
million at December 31, 1998. The Company expects that substantially all of its
existing June 30, 1999 backlog will be shipped by December 31, 1999. At June 30,
1999, the Company had received $45.0 million in customer cash deposits related
to orders included in backlog. In accordance with industry practice, orders and
commitments generally are cancellable by customers at any time.

     Gross margin (net sales and rental income less costs of sales and rental
income), as a percentage of net sales and rental income for the second quarter
of 1999 was 29.3%. This compares to a gross margin of 34.2% for the same period
in 1998. The decline was caused by high initial costs and retrofit costs on
newer products at Shaffer, M/D Totco and Rigtech; by the increase in the
proportion of Shaffer revenues to other Divisions' revenues (Shaffer products
carry lower gross margins than other Divisions' products), and by higher
manufacturing costs and increased manufacturing inefficiencies. Approximately
2.3% of the 4.7% decline was due to high initial costs and retrofit costs on
newer products; 1.3% was due to the higher proportion of Shaffer revenue, and
1.1% was due to manufacturing costs.

     The Company believes that new product development is a significant factor
for the future of the Company. During the first six months of 1999 the Company
spent $15.0 million or 4.9% of revenues on new
<PAGE>

product development. This compares to $15.9 million or 4.6% of revenues during
the same period in 1998.

     Primarily as a result of a reduction in employment related expenses,
selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 24.3% in the second
quarter of 1999 as compared to the second quarter of 1998. As a percent of
revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 13.9% from
14.5% in the second quarter of 1998. Overall Company employment at June 30,
1999, was 2,211 (including 49 temporary employees) which compares to 3,340
(including 472 temporary employees) a year ago.

     The effective tax rate for the first half of 1999 was 34.0% as compared to
34.2% for the first half of 1998.

     As the June 30, 1999 backlog is delivered, the Company expects that its
revenue level will decline to a level more reflective of its incoming order
rate. As this decline occurs, the Company has in place plans to further reduce
its cost structure and capital expenditures as appropriate for the anticipated
level of future revenue.

                        Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At June 30, 1999, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $25.6
million as compared to $29.1 million at December 31, 1998. This reduction was
due in part to the final payment of the Company's 8.95% Senior Notes. At June
30, 1999, the Company's working capital was $192.1 million as compared to $176.3
million at December 31, 1998, and its current ratio was 2.5 to 1.0 as compared
to 1.8 to 1.0 at December 31, 1998. These changes are primarily due to the
reduction in current liabilities.

     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 for a credit facility of $65.0 million, inclusive of a $20.0 million
letter of credit sub-facility. The maximum available under the Credit Agreement
is reduced in equal quarterly amounts over the last four years of the Credit
Agreement. At June 30, 1999, there were no advances and $4.5 million in letters
of credit outstanding under this facility.

     The Credit Agreement restricts 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, the amount available for
the payment of dividends on, and repurchases of, Common Stock is limited to $5.0
million plus 25% of the Company's consolidated net income arising after June 30,
1997, computed on a cumulative basis.

     The Company's capital expenditures during the first half of 1999 were $9.3
 million as compared to $17.4 million for the first half of 1998. The Company's
 current plans for capital expenditures in the next twelve months are
 approximately $5.0 to $10.0 million. The Company anticipates that its June 30,
 1999 cash and cash equivalents and its existing credit facility will be
 sufficient to meet its capital expenditures and operating cash needs.

                             Year 2000 Compliance

The following supplements the Year 2000 disclosure included in the Company's
Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1998, and
reference should be made to such disclosure included therein.

     Products.  The Company has completed testing of its currently supported
products, as opposed to discontinued and obsolete products, and believes they
are Year 2000 compliant. The Company has mailed to its customers a list of
compliant products and has advised customers which products needed to be
upgraded or replaced for Year 2000 compliance.

     Internal Business Systems.  The Company has completed its assessment phase
and believes that it has identified substantially all of the major systems,
software applications and related equipment used in connection with its internal
operations that must be modified or upgraded in order to minimize the
possibility of a material disruption to its business. The Company estimates that
its business systems will be Year 2000 compliant by the end of the third quarter
of 1999.

     Third-Party Suppliers and Customers.  The Company has requested
confirmation from its suppliers and customers of their Year 2000 compliance.
Replies from most of the suppliers and customers have been received and the
replies received to date indicate that Year 2000 compliance will be achieved.

     Facility Systems.  The Company does not anticipate that facility systems
will have any material impact on the Company's operations.

     The Company does not separately track internal cost incurred on the Year
2000 Issue. The Company has estimated that approximately 15% to 20% of its IT
personnel's time is spent on the Year 2000 Issue. The Company has estimated that
less than $1.5 million will be paid to third parties for software, hardware and
consultation. As of June 30, 1999 most of these costs have been incurred.

                        Cautionary Statement Pursuant
                     to the Private Securities Litigation
                              Reform Act of 1995

In accordance with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company notes that the statements in this
Quarterly Report, which are forward-looking and which provide other than
