FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 9, 2000

      LEADING OILFIELD SERVICES FIRMS TO FORM SUPPLIER PORTAL; EXPECTED TO
             SIGNIFICANTLY FACILITATE ENERGY INDUSTRY B2B COMMERCE

         HOUSTON,  Texas - Twelve major  oilfield  services firms have announced
their  intention to work together to form a joint venture  company,  OFS Portal.
OFS Portal would provide  customers a single source of  standardized  electronic
catalog and service agreement information for the upstream products and services
provided by the  participating  suppliers.  The firms are ABB, Baker Hughes,  BJ
Services,   Cooper  Cameron,   ENSCO,   FMC,   Halliburton,   National  Oilwell,
Schlumberger, Smith International,  Transocean Sedco Forex, and Weatherford. The
first step in the plan is to conduct the design study, which is now underway.
         OFS Portal  services  would be available  worldwide  to all  customers,
either individually or through B2B exchanges. Suppliers in all oilfield products
and services segments would have the opportunity to participate in OFS Portal.
         In taking this action,  the  participating  companies are responding to
the  increasing  number of requests from B2B  exchanges and portals,  as well as
many individual  customers,  to provide information and support to their various
online  procurement  efforts.  The twelve founding members of OFS Portal believe
e-commerce has enormous potential for the industry.  The intent of OFS Portal is
to benefit  both  buyers and  sellers by reducing  overall  costs and  improving
efficiency  through a common  approach to  integrating  supplier  offerings into
multiple e-procurement environments.

         As a not-for-profit  independent  service,  OFS Portal would format and
publish   standardized   content,   enable  subscription  by  users,   establish
transaction standards,  and facilitate other aspects of the procurement process.
OFS Portal would not operate as an exchange for executing transactions.
