Item 7.   Financial   Statements,   Pro  Forma  Financial  Information  and
Exhibits.


(b) Pro Forma Financial Information - unaudited

     On  July  15, 1999, a subsidiary of  Superior  Energy  Services,  Inc.
("Superior")  merged   (the   "Merger")   with   Cardinal   Holding   Corp.
("Cardinal").   As a result of the Merger, Cardinal became a subsidiary  of
Superior.   However, the Merger was treated, for accounting purposes, as if
Superior was acquired  by Cardinal in a purchase transaction.  In addition,
on November 1, 1999, Superior  acquired  (the "PMI Acquisition") Production
Management Companies, Inc. ("PMI").

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed  financial information for
the year ended December 31, 1999 has been prepared  by  management assuming
that the Merger and the PMI Acquisition occurred on January  1,  1999.   In
preparing  the information, management has utilized the following financial
statements:

(A)  the historical  financial  statements  of  Superior as of December 31,
     1999, which as a result of the accounting treatment  of the Merger and
     the  PMI Acquisition reflect (a) the results of Cardinal's  operations
     through  the  date  of  the  Merger,  (b)  the results of the combined
     operations of Cardinal and Superior following  the Merger but prior to
     the PMI Acquisition and (c) the results of the combined  operations of
     Cardinal, Superior and PMI following the PMI Acquisition;

(B)  the  financial statements of Superior prior to the  Merger; and

(C)  the financial   statements  of  PMI  prior  to  the  PMI Acquisition.

The pro forma adjustments that have  been  made  to  reflect the assumption
that  the  Merger  and  PMI  Acquisition occurred on January  1,  1999  are
described in the accompanying  notes  and  are  based  upon  estimates  and
certain  assumptions  that  management of the companies believes reasonable
under the circumstances.

     The  unaudited  pro  forma  condensed  financial  information  is  for
comparative purposes only and  does  not  purport  to  be indicative of the
results which would actually have been obtained had the  Merger and the PMI
Acquisition been effected on January 1, 1999, or of the results  which  may
be  obtained  in  the  future.  The unaudited pro forma condensed financial
information,  in  the  opinion  of  management,  reflects  all  adjustments
necessary to present fairly the data for such period.

(A)  The record the elimination of intercompany transactions.

(B)  In the Merger, Superior  exchanged  approximately 30 million shares of
     Superior common stock for 100% of the  outstanding  stock of Cardinal.
     The valuation of Superior's net assets were based upon the approximate
     28.8 million shares of Superior Common Stock outstanding  prior to the
     merger times the trading price of $3.78 at the time of negotiation  of
     the  Merger,  plus  additional  capitalized  costs of approximately $3
     million related to the Cardinal merger costs for professional fees net
     of  $2  million in Superior merger costs. Superior's  historical  book
     basis for  its  property  and  equipment was considered to be its fair
     market value.  This valuation reflects excess purchase price of  $31.6
     million, over the fair value of net assets, which has been recorded as
     goodwill.

     In  the  PMI  Acquisition,  Superior   acquired   PMI   for  aggregate
     consideration  of $3 million in cash and 610,000 shares of  Superior's
     common stock at  the trading price of $5.66 at the time of negotiation
     of the Merger.  The  purchase  price  allocated to net assets was $3.5
     million, and the excess purchase price  of  approximately  $3 million,
     over the fair value of net assets, was recorded as goodwill.

     This  adjustment reflects the increase in amortization as a result  of
     goodwill,  described  above,  amortized  over 30 years and non compete
     agreements of approximately $1 million entered into as a result of the
     Merger amortized over 4 years as follows:

        Additional goodwill amortization from the Merger              $ 565
        Additional goodwill amortization from the PMI Acquisition        80
        Amortization of non-competes                                    121
                                                                      -----
                                                                      $ 766

(C)  To record the net decrease in interest expense  resulting  from  a $55
     million  equity  contribution  to Cardinal, used to pay down debt, net
     with $10 million in additional debt  incurred  for  the acquisition of
     PMI   The reduction in interest expense due to the equity contribution
     uses  Cardinal's  borrowing rate of 8.12% and the offsetting  increase
     due to the debt incurred  for  the acquisition of PMI, uses Superior's
     borrowing rate of 9.12%.

(D)  To adjust the provision for income  taxes to give effect to the Merger
     and  PMI  Acquisition  adjustments,  exclusive   of  the  amortization
     adjustment.
