              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  GENERAL

      The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to such rules and
regulations.  These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with Pride Petroleum Services, Inc.'s (the "Company's")  audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.  Certain
reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform with the
current year presentation.

      The unaudited consolidated financial information included herein reflects
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are
necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair presentation of the
Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the
interim periods presented.  The results of operations for the interim periods
presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for full years.

2.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

      The Company is routinely involved in litigation incidental to its
business, which often involves claims for significant monetary amounts, some of
which would not be covered by insurance.  In the opinion of management, none of
the existing litigation will have any material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

      The Company is self-insured with respect to physical damage or loss to its
domestic vehicles, land rigs, and equipment (except for thirteen of its largest
domestic land rigs).  Thirteen of the Company's largest domestic land rigs and
all of the Company's international land rigs are insured, with deductibles of 
generally $25,000 per occurrence.  The Company's offshore platform rigs and
barge rigs are insured with deductibles of $50,000 and $150,000, respectively. 
Presently, the Company has insurance deductibles of $250,000 per occurrence for
domestic workers' compensation claims, $100,000 per occurrence for domestic
automobile liability claims, and $250,000 for general liability claims.  The
Company further limits its exposure by maintaining an accident and health
insurance policy with respect to its domestic employees with a deductible of
$10,000 per occurrence.  Coverages with respect to foreign operations for
workers' compensation and automobile claims are subject to deductibles of
$40,000 to $100,000 per occurrence.

      The Company accrues for its estimated share of insured claims.  As of June
30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the Company had accrued approximately
$11,044,000 and $11,111,000, respectively for claims liabilities, of which
$6,138,000 and $6,047,000, respectively was included in current liabilities and
$4,906,000 and $5,064,000, respectively, was reflected as other long-term
liabilities in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet.  As of
June 30, 1995, the Company had letters of credit outstanding totaling
$10,714,000.  These letters of credit guarantee principally the funding of the
Company's share of insured claims.

3.  LONG-TERM DEBT

      Long-term debt at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 consists of the
following:

                                                       JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31,

                                                       ========   ========

      The balance of the limited-recourse secured term loans at June 30, 1995
includes $9,172,000 of construction advances and $2,020,000 of accrued interest
which was added to the principal amount of the loans during the first six months
of 1995.  Approximately $73,000 of such accrued interest was capitalized as part
of the cost of the related assets during the first six months of 1995.  Pursuant
to the terms of the loan agreements, interest, which accrues at a rate of 9.61%
per annum, was added to the principal amount of the loans until the first
scheduled payment in July 1995, and will be payable from the proceeds of the
related charter contracts in 109 equal monthly installments of principal and
interest.  In addition, a portion of contract proceeds are to be held in trust
to assure that timely payment of future debt service obligations is made.  At
June 30, 1995, $3,044,000 of such contract proceeds, which amount is included in
cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance
sheet, are being held in trust for the benefit of the lenders, and is not
presently available for use by the Company.

      Borrowings pursuant to the secured term loans were increased by $4,270,000
during the first six months of 1995 to finance certain additions to property and
equipment.

      Notes payable include five notes payable to lending institutions totaling
an aggregate $7,247,000 which are collateralized by selected property and
equipment,  financed insurance premiums in the amount of $633,000, and a note
payable in the amount of $50,000 issued to the sellers of certain assets
acquired by the Company during the first quarter of 1995.

      In March 1995, the Company entered into a note payable to two individuals
in the amount of $5,964,000 as partial consideration for a business acquisition.
The note bears interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum and is repayable in
quarterly installments through March 2000.  The acquisition note is
collateralized by certain of the property and equipment of the acquired
business.

      The Company had domestic bank lines of credit of $23,000,000 as of June
30, 1995, and letters of credit totaling $10,714,000 outstanding against these
facilities.  Additionally, $1,283,000 of borrowings were outstanding thereunder.
Cash and cash equivalents and a portion of accounts receivable have been pledged
as security pursuant to these credit facilities.

4.  NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

      Net earnings per share has been computed based on the weighted average
number of common shares  outstanding during the applicable period.  Common share
equivalents have been included in periods in which their effect is dilutive. 
Common share equivalents include the number of shares issuable upon the exercise
of stock options and warrants, less the number of shares that could have been
repurchased with the exercise proceeds, using the treasury stock method.  Fully
diluted net earnings per share have not been presented as the results are not
materially different.

5.  ACQUISITIONS

      COMPLETED ACQUISITIONS

      In March 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of X-Pert Enterprises, Inc. ("X-Pert") for aggregate consideration of
approximately $10,000,000, consisting of $3,000,000 cash, a note payable to the
selling shareholders in the amount of $5,964,000, and 200,000 shares of the
Company's common stock.

     The pro forma results of operations presented above do not purport to be
indicative of the results of operations of the Company that might have occurred
nor are they indicative of future results.

      Also in March 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
used in the fluids hauling business of McNeel Company, Inc. for total
consideration of $400,000, consisting of $350,000 cash and a note payable to the
sellers in the amount of $50,000.

      Each of the acquisitions discussed above was recorded using the purchase
method of accounting.  The operating results of each acquisition have been
included in the Company's consolidated results of operations from the date of
acquisition.

TERMINATED ACQUISITIONS

      In March 1995, the Company entered into a letter of intent to acquire
Horizon Directional Systems, Inc. ("Horizon"), a Houston, Texas based horizontal
and directional drilling company.  In April 1995, the Company was notified that
litigation had been filed against Horizon.  The letter of intent to acquire
Horizon has expired and the Company does not currently intend to pursue the
acquisition of Horizon.

      In April 1995, the Company entered into a letter of intent to acquire
substantially all of the assets of Reeled Tubing, Inc. ("Reeled Tubing") of
Harvey, Louisiana.  The Company was not able to develop terms of a mutually
acceptable transaction, thereby resulting in the termination of the acquisition
efforts with respect to Reeled Tubing.

6.  ISSUANCES OF COMMON STOCK

      During the second quarter of 1995, 192,500 shares of the Company's common
stock were issued pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options.  The
Company received proceeds of $444,000 in connection with the exercise of such
employee stock options.

      In April 1995, the Company issued 87,000 shares of common stock pursuant
to the contractual earnout provisions of an acquisition agreement to an
individual who became a director of the Company in connection with such
acquisition.  The value of such shares, estimated to be $435,000 has been

lives of such assets.  In June 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with
the director, pursuant to which it agreed to issue 203,000 additional shares of
common stock in exchange for the director's remaining contingent right to
receive up to 73,000 common shares and the exercise of warrants to acquire an
additional 500,000 shares of common stock on a net value basis.  The value of
the shares to be issued, estimated to be $1,040,000, will also be allocated to
the acquired assets.

      Also in April 1995, the Company issued 35,200 shares of common stock,
having an estimated aggregate value of $220,000, as consideration for the
purchase of support assets.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Pride Petroleum Services, Inc.:

      We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Pride
Petroleum Services, Inc. as of June 30, 1995, the related consolidated statement
of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and
1994, and the related consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.

      We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which
is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

      Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

      We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity,
and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report
dated February 20, 1995, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial
statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
balance sheet as of December 31, 1994 is fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been
derived.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

      The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Pride Petroleum Services,
Inc. (the "Company") as of June 30, 1995 and for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 included elsewhere herein, and with the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

      Increases and decreases in domestic well servicing activity historically
have had a significant correlation with changes in oil and natural gas prices. 
International well servicing activity is also affected by fluctuations in oil
and natural gas prices, but historically to a lesser extent than domestic
activity.  International well servicing contracts are typically for terms of one
year or more, while domestic contracts are typically entered into for one or
multiple wells.  Accordingly, international well servicing activities are not as
sensitive to changes in oil and gas prices as domestic operations.

      Since 1991, the Company has actively sought to diversify beyond domestic
land based operations into international and offshore markets.  In July 1993,
the Company purchased established well servicing and drilling operations in
Argentina and Venezuela and, in February 1994, acquired four additional rigs in
Argentina.  The Company has also deployed 20 rigs from its U.S. fleet to
Argentina and two rigs from its U.S. fleet to Venezuela.  Also, during the first
half of 1993, the Company mobilized three rigs to Western Siberia, where
operations commenced in June 1993.  The Company is continuing to pursue
opportunities to expand internationally, particularly in situations where it can
deploy underutilized assets from its domestic fleet.

      In June 1994, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
Offshore Rigs, L.L.P. ("Offshore Rigs") as the Company continued to diversify
its operations beyond domestic land-based markets and became the largest
operator of offshore platform workover rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.  The rig
fleet acquired from Offshore Rigs consisted of 22 offshore platform rigs,
representing approximately 45% of the offshore platform workover rigs located in
the Gulf of Mexico.

      During 1994, the Company entered into contracts with Lagoven, S.A.
("Lagoven"), a subsidiary of the Venezuelan national oil company, to construct
and operate two drilling/workover barge rigs.  Upon completion in late 1994,
both barge rigs were mobilized to Lake Maracaibo where, in January 1995, they
began operations pursuant to ten-year contracts with Lagoven.  The Company
estimates that annual revenues of approximately $14,000,000 will be generated
under the contracts.

      In March 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of X-Pert Enterprises, Inc. ("X-Pert").  X-Pert operates 35 well servicing rigs
in New Mexico and also provides lease maintenance services to oilfield
operators.  X-Pert  had annual revenues of approximately $15,000,000.  The
operating results of the acquired business have been included beginning in March
1995.  The Company also acquired an oilfield truck fleet in East Texas during
March 1995 to complement its existing fluids hauling business.

      Deterioration in economic conditions in Venezuela resulted in significant
devaluation of the country's currency during the first half of 1994.  To a large
extent, the Company has been able to insulate its ongoing operations from
currency exchange losses by matching the local currency component of contracts
to the amount of operating costs transacted in local currency.  The Company is
continuing its efforts to maximize the dollar component of its Venezuelan
contracts.  During the first two quarters of 1994, the devaluation of the
Venezuela bolivar resulted in currency translation losses for the Company. 
These losses resulted principally from the translation of the net Venezuelan
monetary assets (that is, essentially accounts receivable in excess of trade
payables) at devaluing exchange rates from month to month.

      In the latter part of June 1994, the Venezuelan government imposed
exchange control policies and established an official fixed exchange rate
relative to the U.S. dollar.  As a result, should the Venezuelan government
maintain the present rate from month to month, no currency translation losses
should result in those periods.  If the official rate is subsequently revised or
a market exchange mechanism is re-implemented so that the bolivar "floats"
relative to the U.S. dollar, the Company could be susceptible to further
currency translation losses with respect to its Venezuelan operations.  The
Company intends to continue to monitor developments in this regard and to take
such measures as may be practical to limit its exposure to currency translation
losses in future periods.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994.

      REVENUES.  Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1995 increased
$28,599,000, or 71%, as compared to the corresponding period in 1994.  Of this
increase, $12,060,000 was attributable to domestic offshore operations, which
the Company acquired in June 1994, and $10,712,000 was a result of expansion of
the Company's international operations, primarily in Venezuela and Argentina. 
Revenues from Venezuelan operations increased primarily as a result of the

                                     Page 14
<PAGE>
commencement of operations of the Company's two drilling/workover barge rigs. 
Revenues from domestic land operations increased $5,827,000, primarily as a
result of the acquisition of X-Pert in March 1995 as well as some improvement in
pricing for the Company's services.

      OPERATING COSTS.  Operating costs for the three months ended June 30, 1995
increased $19,558,000, or 63%, as compared to the corresponding period in 1994. 
Of this increase, $8,354,000 was attributable to the Company's recently acquired
domestic offshore operations, and $6,780,000 was a result of expansion of the
Company's international operations, as discussed above.  Operating costs related
to domestic land operations increased $4,424,000, corresponding to the addition
of Xpert.

      DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization for the
three months ended June 30, 1995 increased $2,078,000, or 101%, as compared to
the corresponding period in 1994, primarily as a result of provisions for
recently acquired domestic offshore and international assets.

      SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  Selling, general and administrative
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1995 increased $1,873,000, or 35%,
as compared to the corresponding period in 1994, primarily as a result of the
inclusion of such costs for acquired domestic offshore, land and international
operations.  As a percentage of revenues, however, total selling, general and
administrative costs declined to 11% for the second quarter of 1995 from 13% for
the second quarter of 1994, as such costs have been spread over a larger revenue
base.

      EARNINGS FROM OPERATIONS.  The Company generated earnings from operations
for the three months ended June 30, 1995 of $7,081,000.  Of this amount,
$3,888,000 was generated by international operations, $1,761,000 was generated
by domestic offshore operations and $1,432,000 was generated by domestic land
operations.  For the corresponding quarter of 1994, international operations
generated earnings from operations of $1,031,000, domestic land operations
generated earnings from operations of $876,000 and domestic offshore operations
generated earnings from operations of $84,000 (including only nine days of
operating results for offshore operations during the 1994 period immediately
following their acquisition).

      OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE).  Other income (expense) for the second quarter of
1995 included no gains or losses related to foreign currency translation and
transactions versus $482,000 of losses for the corresponding 1994 quarter. 
Interest income increased to $267,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995
from $77,000 for the corresponding 1994 period due to an increase in cash
available for investment.  Interest expense for the three months ended June 30,
1995 increased by $1,555,000, as a result of borrowings related to the two
drilling/workover barge rigs, acquisitions and other additions to property and
equipment.  

      INCOME TAX PROVISION.  The Company's consolidated effective income tax
rate for the three months ended June 30, 1995, increased to approximately 37%
from approximately 35% for the corresponding period in 1994, primarily as a
result of changes in the Company's overall earnings mix.

$54,306,000, or 70%, as compared to the corresponding period in 1994.  Of this
increase, $25,118,000 was attributable to domestic offshore operations, which
the Company acquired in June 1994, and $20,432,000 was a result of expansion of
the Company's international operations, primarily in Venezuela and Argentina. 
Revenues from Venezuelan operations increased primarily as a result of the
commencement of operations of the Company's two drilling/workover barge rigs.

increased $36,202,000, or 61%, as compared to the corresponding period in 1994. 
Of this increase, $17,628,000 was attributable to the Company's recently
acquired domestic offshore operations, and $12,344,000 was a result of expansion
of the Company's international operations, as discussed above.  Operating costs
related to domestic land operations increased $6,230,000, corresponding to the
addition of Xpert.

      DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 increased $3,663,000, or 91%, as compared to the

administrative costs declined to 12% for the first six months of 1995 from 14%
for the first six months of 1994, as such costs have been spread over a larger
revenue base.

      EARNINGS FROM OPERATIONS.  The Company generated earnings from operations
for the six months ended June 30, 1995 of $12,802,000. Of this amount,
$6,573,000 was generated by international operations, $3,634,000 was generated

Interest income increased to $392,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995
from $359,000 for the corresponding 1994 period, due to an increase in excess
cash available for investment.  Interest expense for the six months ended June
30, 1995 increased by $2,783,000, as a result of borrowings related to the two
drilling/workover barge rigs, acquisitions and other additions to property and
equipment.

      INCOME TAX PROVISION.  The Company's consolidated effective income tax
rate for the six months ended June 30, 1995, increased to approximately 36% from
approximately 35% for the corresponding period in 1994, primarily as a result of
changes in the Company's overall earnings mix. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The Company had net working capital of $30,337,000 and $26,640,000 at June
30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively.  The Company's current ratio was
1.7 to 1.0 at June 30, 1995 and 1.8 to 1.0 at December 31, 1994.  The Company
expects to meet its operational and normal ongoing capital expenditure
requirements from internally generated cash flows and from existing bank credit
lines.
  
      As of June 30, 1995, the Company had domestic bank lines of credit of
$23,000,000, against which letters of credit totaling $10,714,000 and borrowings
of $1,283,000 were outstanding.  Substantially all of these letters of credit
have been issued in favor of the Company's insurance carriers to guarantee
payment of the Company's share of insured claims.  As of June 30, 1995, the
Company had accrued approximately $11,044,000 of claims liabilities, of which
$6,138,000 was included in current liabilities and $4,906,000  was reflected as
other long-term liabilities in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance
sheet.  The Company has estimated the amount and timing of payment of these
liabilities based on actuarial studies provided by the insurance carriers and
past experience.  Due to the nature of the Company's business and the structure
of its insurance program, the occurrence of a significant event against which
the Company is not fully insured, or of a number of lesser events against which
the Company is insured, but subject to substantial deductibles, could
significantly impact the operating results of the Company for a given period.

      During 1994, the Company entered into long-term financing arrangements
with two Japanese trading companies in connection with the construction and
operation of two drilling/workover barge rigs.  The aggregate amount of the
collateralized term loans was initially $42,000,000.  As of June 30, 1995,
$2,503,000 of accrued interest has been added to the principal amount of the
loans.  Pursuant to the terms of the loan agreements, interest, which accrues at
a rate of 9.61% per annum, was added to the principal amount of the loans until
the first scheduled payment in July 1995, and will be payable from the proceeds
of the related charter contracts in 109 equal monthly installments of principal
and interest.  In addition, a portion of contract proceeds are to be held in
trust to assure that timely payment of future debt service obligations is made. 
At June 30, 1995, $3,044,000 of such contract proceeds are being held in trust
for the benefit of the lenders, and is not presently available for use by the
Company.  The terms of the financing agreement limit the lenders' recourse
essentially to the barge rigs and contract proceeds and the assets of the
Company's Venezuelan subsidiary.  The Company also provided the lenders a
limited guaranty with respect to certain political risks.  The Company has
obtained political risks insurance policies from the Overseas Private Investment
Corporation ("OPIC"), a U.S. government entity, to protect against political
risks that could result in potential payments under the terms of the Company's
guaranty.  At June 30, 1995, the Company had borrowed $44,503,000 pursuant to
this financing arrangement.

      In connection with the acquisition and planned upgrading and expansion of
its acquired offshore platform rig fleet in 1994, the Company established credit
facilities with a lending institution in the aggregate amount of $14,400,000. 
In February 1995, this credit facility was amended to, among other things,

                                     Page 17
<PAGE>
increase the aggregate borrowing availability to $30,000,000.  As of June 30,
1995, $13,130,000 was outstanding pursuant to this facility.  The Company plans
to continue a program to upgrade its offshore platform rig fleet throughout
1995.  During the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Company spent
approximately $9,000,000 toward offshore assets, including: (i) construction of
a new "flagship" state-of-the-art diesel electric platform rig, (ii) major rig
refurbishments and(iii) auxilliary equipment such as top-drive drilling systems,
larger capacity pumps and generators, and improved living quarters.

      The Company spent approximately $3,800,000 during the six months ended
June 30, 1995 to complete construction of the two new drilling/workover barge
rigs.  Rig refurbishment and international deployment costs for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 were approximately $8,000,000 and $4,100,000
respectively.

      In March 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of X-Pert for consideration of approximately $10,000,000, consisting of
$3,000,000 cash, a note payable to the selling shareholders in the amount of
approximately $6,000,000 and 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock.  X-
Pert  had working capital and other monetary assets in excess of liabilities of
approximately $3,000,000.

      Capital expenditures related to other domestic operations for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 were approximately $1,200,000 and
$2,700,000, respectively.

      The Company expects to continue to review opportunities to pursue its
international and offshore equipment and technology expansion.  From time to
time, the Company has one or more bids outstanding for contracts that could
require significant capital expenditures and mobilization costs.  While the
Company has no other definitive plans to acquire additional equipment, suitable
opportunities may arise in the future.  The timing, size or success of any
acquisition effort and the associated potential capital commitments are
unpredictable.  The Company expects to fund project opportunities and
acquisitions primarily through a combination of working capital, cash flow from
operations and full or limited recourse debt or equity financing.

      In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS No. 121").
SFAS No. 121, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1995, requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
held and used by the entity, be reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable.  The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 121
will have any material effect on its financial position or results of
operations.

                                    AGREEMENT


     This Agreement dated as of June 13, 1995 is between Pride Petroleum
Services, Inc.,  a  Louisiana corporation (the "Company"), and Financial
Overseas Management, S.A.* ("Overseas"), a corporation organized and existing
under the laws of Uruguay, and the sole shareholders of Overseas, Jorge E.
Estrada Mora and Ana Maria Estrada Mora (the  Estradas ).

     WHEREAS, Overseas, the Estradas and the Company are parties to a Common
Stock Purchase  Agreement dated September 10, 1993 (the  Purchase Agreement ),
pursuant to which Overseas has the right to receive, dependent on future
contingencies, up to an additional 73,000 shares of Common Stock, without par
value, of the Company (the "Common Stock"); and

     WHEREAS, Overseas currently holds two warrants issued pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement to purchase a total of 300,000 shares of Common Stock (the
"Warrants"), which Warrants contain provisions providing for the possible
increase in the number of shares of Common Stock subject to purchase thereunder
that (i) have resulted in an additional 108,740 shares of Common Stock being
issuable upon exercise of such Warrants and (ii) dependent on future
contingencies, could result in an additional 91,260 shares of Common Stock being
issuable upon exercise of such Warrants; and

     WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to effect the transactions described
below;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     Section 1.   ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK AND DETERMINATION OF NUMBER OF SHARES
SUBJECT TO WARRANTS.  The parties hereby agree that all 73,000 Additional Shares
(as defined in the Purchase Agreement) remaining unissued as of the date hereof
shall be deemed to be earned and shall be issued to Overseas as of the date
hereof.  In addition, all the Adjustment Shares (as defined in each of the
Warrants) shall be deemed to be earned as of the date hereof.  In order to
effect such change with respect to the Warrants, Section 3 of each of the
Warrants is hereby amended to read as follows:

     The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of 
     this Warrant shall, effective as of June 13, 1995, be increased so that a
     total of 250,000 shares of Common Stock shall be purchasable hereunder.

     Section 2.   NET EXERCISE PROVISIONS.  Section 2 of each Warrant shall be
amended by adding a new Section 2.D thereof to read as follows:

* or its designee










                                        -1-
<PAGE>
          D.  NET EXERCISE.  In lieu of paying the aggregate purchase price in
     cash pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 2.A hereof, the Holder may elect a
     "net exercise" and exchange this Warrant for such number of shares of
     Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares with respect to
     which this Warrant is being exercised by a fraction, the numerator of which
     shall be the difference between  the then-current market price per share of
     Common Stock and the purchase price provided for in this Warrant, and the
     denominator of which shall be the then-current market price per share of
     Common Stock.

     Section 3.   NET EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.  Overseas hereby exercises, pursuant
to the net exercise provisions of each Warrant added by Section 2 above, each of
the Warrants, and the Company and Overseas agree that the number of shares
issuable upon such exercise is 130,000.  As a result of such exercise, Overseas
hereby is submitting both Warrants to the Company and the Company is issuing
upon such exercise a total of 130,000 shares of Common Stock.

     Section 4.   REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  The shares of Common Stock issued to
Overseas pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, together with the **
shares of Common Stock currently held by Overseas and issued pursuant to the
terms of the Purchase Agreement, shall be entitled to benefit of registration
rights on the same terms as the registration rights contained in the
Registration Rights Agreement dated March 22, 1995 between the Company and
Raymond H. Eaves and Billy D. Cooper.                        ** 207,000

     Section 5.   GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in  accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Texas.

     Section 6.   BENEFITS OF THIS AGREEMENT.  Nothing in this Agreement shall
be construed to give to any person or corporation other than the parties hereto
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement.  This
Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto. 
This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto as to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous agreements among the parties,
whether written, oral or otherwise, with respect to such matters.

     Section 7.   COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall
constitute one and the same instrument.  The descriptive headings in this
Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not limit or otherwise
affect the meaning hereof.

      Section 8.   AMENDMENT.  Except as expressly provided herein, neither this
Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated
other than by a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement
of any such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is sought; provided,
however, that any provisions hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or
terminated upon the written consent of the Company and Overseas.

                               ------------------



     This Agreement is an addendum to that certain Agreement dated June 13, 1995
between Pride Petroleum Services, Inc., a Louisiana corporation (the "Company"),
and Financial Overseas Management, S.A. ("Overseas"), a corporation organized in
and existing under the laws of Uruguay, and the sole shareholders of Overseas,
Jorge E. Estrada Mora and Ana Maria Estrada Mora (the "Estradas").  Such
Agreement shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Agreement".

     All terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as in
the Agreement.

     WHEREAS, the Company, pursuant to the Agreement, has agreed to certain
amendments  to the Purchase Agreement based upon a high degree of expectation
that all the performance contingencies in the Purchase Agreement will be
achieved;

     WHEREAS, Overseas has agreed to accept a total of 203,000 of Common Stock
("Securities") from the Company in consideration for such amendments to the
Purchase Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, the Company is not willing to execute the Agreement without this
Addendum; and

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and
valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which  are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree that notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the Agreement, in the event such performance contingencies are not
realized as set out in the Purchase Agreement and pursuant to the Warrants
(prior to the amendments set out in the Agreement), Overseas shall return to the
Company that applicable pro rata share of the Securities that are determined
would not have been earned under the Purchase Agreement and pursuant to the
Warrants (in accordance with the methodology utilized in the Agreement) because
of Pride Petrotech S.A.M.P.I.C.'s failure to satisfy the performance
contingencies based upon the cumulative results of Pride Petrotech S.A.M.P.I.C.
for the three year period ending December 31, 1996.  Overseas shall deliver the
pro rata number of Company Common Stock no later than 30 days following the
Company's notice to Overseas of such shortfall.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Addendum to the
Agreement as of June 22, 1995.
