Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

1. Introduction

Oil States International, Inc. (the "Company" or "Oil States"), through its subsidiaries, manufactures and contracts to manufacture products that contain gold, tantalum, tin and tungsten ("3TG"). As these materials are necessary to Oil States' products, the Company is dedicated to tracing the origin of these metals to ensure compliance with the requirements set forth in the final rule regarding the use of conflict minerals.

2. Conflict Minerals Disclosures

Oil States has concluded in good faith that during the reporting period for 2023:

a) Oil States manufactured and contracted to manufacture products for which "conflict minerals" (as defined in Section 1502(e)(4) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) are necessary to the functionality or production.

b) As such, Oil States performed a good faith "reasonable country of origin inquiry" ("RCOI") to determine whether any conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC") or an adjoining country ("Covered Country") as those terms are defined by Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Rule 13p-1").

In accord with Rule 13p-1 and the directions from the Securities and Exchange Commission, Oil States has filed this Specialized Disclosure Form ("Form SD"). This report is posted to a publicly available Internet site at http://www.ir.oilstatesintl.com/sec.cfm .

To perform the RCOI, Oil States' suppliers were engaged to collect information regarding the presence and sourcing of 3TG used in the products supplied to Oil States.

Suppliers were asked to provide information regarding the sourcing of their materials with the ultimate goal of identifying the 3TG smelters or refiners and associated mine countries of origin. To facilitate reporting at the product-level, the products Oil States sourced from a given supplier were communicated to that supplier via a Conflict Minerals Reporting Template ("CMRT"). Suppliers were able to submit multiple CMRTs as needed to address all indicated products. In many cases, however, the supplier response defaulted to a company level CMRT.

Supplier responses were evaluated for plausibility, consistency, and gaps both in terms of which products were stated to contain or not contain necessary 3TG, as well as the origin of those materials.

3. RCOI Results

A total of 250 suppliers were identified as in-scope for conflict mineral regulatory purposes and contacted as part of the RCOI process.

Based on this inquiry process, Oil States was not able to determine where any conflict minerals that it may have received from these suppliers may have originated.
