EXPLANATORY NOTE
     The sole purpose of this Amendment No. 2 to Superior Energy Services, Inc.’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (No. 333-136686) is to modify the previously filed Exhibit 5.1.


 

PART II: INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS
Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
     Our certificate of incorporation contains provisions eliminating the personal liability of our directors and stockholders 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, 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, officers, employees and agents 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, officers, employees and agents.
     Under Section 9 of our bylaws, we are required to defend and indemnify each person who is involved in any threatened or actual claim, action or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer or serving in a similar position with respect to another entity at our request if (a) the director or officer is successful in defending the claim on its merits or otherwise or (b) the director or officer meets the standard of conduct described in Section 9 of our bylaws. However, the director or officer is not entitled to indemnification if (i) the claim is brought by the director or officer against us or (ii) the claim is brought by the director or officer as a derivative action by us or in our right, and the action has not been authorized by our board of directors. The rights conferred by Section 9 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 or officers, as applicable, and certain key executive officers, 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 or officer, as applicable, that are in excess of the coverage provided by such insurance (provided that the director or officer 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.

Item 22. Undertakings.
     Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes:
     1. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
     2. To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
     3. To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in this registration statement when it became effective.
     4. (a) 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 of 1933, as amended;

II-2


 

  (ii)   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 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 the 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 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
  (iii)   To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
     (b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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.
     (c) 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.
     5. For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), 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.

  Re:   Registration Statement on Form S-4
      $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
      6 7/8% Senior Notes due June 1, 2014
Gentlemen:
     We have acted as your counsel in connection with the preparation of the registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by Superior Energy Services, Inc. (“Parent”), SESI, L.L.C. (the “Company”) and the other registrants named therein (together with Superior, the “Guarantors”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on the date hereof with respect to the Company’s offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) up to $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s registered 6 7/8% Senior Notes due June 1, 2014 (the “Exchange Notes”) for a like principal amount of the Company’s unregistered 6 7/8% Senior Notes due June 1, 2014 (the “Outstanding Notes”). The Guarantors will guarantee (the “Guarantees”) the Exchange Notes on a senior unsecured basis. The Exchange Notes will be offered under the Indenture dated as of May 22, 2006 by and among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Indenture”).
     In so acting, we have examined originals, or photostatic or certified copies of the Indenture, the form of the Exchange Notes and such records of the Company and Guarantors, certificates of Parent acting in its capacity as the sole member of the Company, of the Guarantors and of public officials, and such other documents as we have deemed relevant. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents.
     Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that:
     1. When the Exchange Notes issuable upon consummation of the Exchange Offer have been (a) duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the trustee therefor in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and (b) duly issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer against the receipt of Outstanding Notes surrendered in exchange therefor, the Exchange Notes will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as rights to indemnification thereunder may be limited by public policy and except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws and court decisions relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
     2. When the Exchange Notes issuable upon consummation of the Exchange Offer have been (a) duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the trustee therefor in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and (b) duly issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer against the receipt of Outstanding Notes surrendered in exchange therefor, the Guarantees issuable by each Guarantor upon consummation of the Exchange Offer will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with their terms, except as rights to indemnification thereunder may be limited by public policy and except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws and court decisions relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 


 

     The opinions expressed above are limited in all respects to the present laws of the State of Louisiana, the State of Texas, the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and present federal laws. We express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.
     We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to us in the prospectus included therein under the caption “Legal Matters.” In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the general rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
          We hereby consent to the inclusion of DeGolyer and MacNaughton reserves estimates in Superior Energy Services, Inc.’s (the Company) Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the Registration Statement) to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in October 2006. Our estimates of the oil, condensate, and natural gas reserves of certain properties owned by the SPN Resources LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, are contained in our reports entitled “Appraisal Report as of December 31, 2005 on Certain Properties owned by SPN Resources, LLC” and “Appraisal Report as of December 31, 2004 on Certain Properties owned by SPN Resources” (our Reports). Reserves estimates from our Reports are included in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.” We further consent to references to DeGolyer and MacNaughton in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,” in the section “Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Reserves” where estimates of revenue, future production costs, and future development and abandonment costs set forth in our Reports have been combined with estimates of future income tax prepared by the Company. We are necessarily unable to verify the accuracy of the future net cash flows after income taxes and present worth values contained in the Registration Statement because our estimates have been combined with those of the Company. We further consent to the specific references to DeGolyer and MacNaughton as the independent petroleum engineering firm in the “Experts” section of the Registration Statement.
     
 
  Very truly yours,

     Re:   Registration Statement on Form S-4
$300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
6 7/8% Senior Notes due June 1, 2014
Gentlemen:
     We have acted as your counsel in connection with the preparation of the registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by Superior Energy Services, Inc. (“Parent”), SESI, L.L.C. (the “Company”) and the other registrants named therein (together with Superior, the “Guarantors”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on the date hereof with respect to the Company’s offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) up to $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s registered 6 7/8% Senior Notes due June 1, 2014 (the “Exchange Notes”) for a like principal amount of the Company’s unregistered 6 7/8% Senior Notes due June 1, 2014 (the “Outstanding Notes”). The Guarantors will guarantee (the “Guarantees”) the Exchange Notes on a senior unsecured basis. The Exchange Notes will be offered under the Indenture dated as of May 22, 2006 by and among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Indenture”).
     In so acting, we have examined originals, or photostatic or certified copies of the Indenture, the form of the Exchange Notes and such records of the Company and Guarantors, certificates of Parent acting in its capacity as the sole member of the Company, of the Guarantors and of public officials, and such other documents as we have deemed relevant. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents.
     Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that:
     1. When the Exchange Notes issuable upon consummation of the Exchange Offer have been (a) duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the trustee therefor in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and (b) duly issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer against the receipt of Outstanding Notes surrendered in exchange therefor, and if a court of appropriate jurisdiction were to hold that the Exchange Notes were governed by and to be construed under the laws of the State of Louisiana notwithstanding the choice in the Exchange Notes and the Indenture of New York as the governing law, the Exchange Notes will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as rights to indemnification thereunder may be limited by public policy and except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws and court decisions relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
     2. When the Exchange Notes issuable upon consummation of the Exchange Offer have been (a) duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the trustee therefor in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and (b) duly issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer against the receipt of Outstanding Notes surrendered in exchange therefor, and if a court of appropriate jurisdiction were to hold that the Guarantees were governed by and to be construed under the laws of the State of Louisiana notwithstanding the choice in the Guarantees and the Indenture of New York as the governing law, the Guarantees issuable by each Guarantor upon consummation of the Exchange Offer will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with their terms, except as rights to indemnification thereunder may be limited by public policy and except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws and court decisions relating to or

 


 

affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
     The opinions expressed above are limited in all respects to the present laws of the State of Louisiana, the State of Texas, the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and present federal laws. We express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.
     We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to us in the prospectus included therein under the caption “Legal Matters.” In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the general rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
         
  Very truly yours,
