PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus or in documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should read carefully the entire prospectus, including “Risk Factors” and the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus before making an investment decision.

Our Business

We are a diversified global supplier of drilling and production related products and services to the oil and gas industry. Our core focus is oilfield specialty chemicals and logistics, downhole drilling tools and downhole production tools. Our business is organized into three strategic business units or segments: Chemicals and Logistics, Drilling Products and Artificial Lift. Each segment offers various products and services and requires different technology and marketing strategies. All three segments market products domestically and internationally.

Chemicals and Logistics

The chemical business offers a full spectrum of oil field and gas field specialty chemicals used for drilling, cementing, stimulation, and production designed to maximize recovery from both new and mature fields. Our specialty chemicals are key to the success of this business segment. Our specialty chemicals have enhanced performance characteristics and are manufactured to withstand a wide range of downhole pressures, temperatures and other well-specific conditions. We operate two laboratories, a technical services laboratory and a research and development laboratory, which focus on design, development and testing of new chemical formulations and enhancement of existing products, often in cooperation with our customers.

Our CESI branded micro-emulsions are patented (US & foreign) and are therefore unique in the oil and gas market. Micro-emulsions are stable mixtures of oil, water and surface active agents, forming a complex nano-fluid in which the molecules are organized (or assembled) into nanostructures. The combination of solvent, surface active agents and structure provide better well treatment results than the use of solvent and surface active agents alone. CESI’s micro-emulsions are composed of renewable plant derived cleaning ingredients and oils and are biodegradable. Some of the micro-emulsions have received approval for use in the North Sea, meeting some of the most stringent oil field environmental standards in the world. CESI’s micro-emulsions have documented operational and financial benefit in both low permeability sand and shale reservoirs.

Our logistics business designs, project manages and operates automated bulk material handling and loading facilities for oilfield service companies. These bulk facilities handle oilfield products, including sand and other materials for well-fracturing operations, dry cement and additives for oil and gas well cementing, and supplies and materials used in oilfield operations, which we blend to customer specification.

Drilling Products

We are a leading provider of downhole drilling tools used in the oilfield, mining, water-well and industrial drilling sectors. We manufacture, sell, rent and inspect specialized equipment for use in drilling, completion, production and workover activities. Through internal growth and acquisitions, we have increased the size and breadth of our rental tool inventory and geographic scope of operations so that we now conduct tool rental operations throughout the United States and in select international markets. Our rental tools include stabilizers, drill collars, reamers, wipers, jars, shock subs, wireless survey, and measurement while drilling, or MWD, tools and mud-motors, while equipment sold includes mining equipment, centralizers and drill bits. We focus our product marketing efforts primarily in the Southeast, Northeast, Mid-Continent and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States, with international sales currently conducted through third party agents and employees.

Artificial Lift

We provide pumping system components, including electric submersible pumps, or ESPs, gas separators, production valves and services. Our products address the needs of coal bed methane and traditional oil and gas production to efficiently move gas, oil and other fluids from the producing horizon to the surface. Several of our Artificial Lift products employ unique technologies to improve well performance. Our patented Petrovalve product optimizes pumping efficiency in horizontal completions, heavy oil and wells with high liquid to gas ratios. This unique valve can be placed horizontally, results in increased flow per stroke, and eliminates gas locking by replacing the traditional ball and seat valve that requires more maintenance. Furthermore, our patented gas separation technology is particularly applicable for coal bed methane production as it efficiently separates gas and water downhole, ensuring solution gas is not lost in water production. Because gas is separated downhole, it reduces the environmental impact of escaped gas at the surface. The majority of our products for Artificial Lift are manufactured in China, assembled domestically and distributed globally.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock is subject to numerous risks, including those listed below and the other risks described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to such report, as further amended by Amendment No. 2 to such report, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, which are incorporated by reference herein. You should carefully consider these risks, along with the information provided elsewhere in this prospectus and the documents we incorporate by reference in this prospectus before investing in the common stock. You could lose all or part of your investment in the common stock.

Additional Risks Associated With an Investment in Our Common Stock

Substantial sales of our common stock could adversely affect our stock price.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock after the date of this prospectus, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock by introducing a large number of sellers to the market. Such sales could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

On August 11, 2009, in connection with the private placement of preferred stock, exercisable warrants to purchase common stock and contingent warrants to purchase common stock, we entered into purchase agreements with certain accredited investors, who collectively hold or have the right to acquire a total of 16,732,716 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the purchase agreements, we have filed and are obligated to maintain a “shelf” registration statement relating to the resale of certain of the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock and exercise of the warrants issued to the accredited investors in the private placement.

By causing a large number of shares to be sold in the public market, these holders could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. We cannot predict whether future sales of our common stock, or the availability of our common stock for sale, will adversely affect the market price for our common stock or our ability to raise capital by offering equity securities.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

On August 12, 2009, we completed a private placement of preferred stock, exercisable warrants to purchase common stock and contingent warrants to purchase common stock. The preferred stock is convertible into shares of our common stock and the warrants entitle the holders thereof to purchase shares of our common stock. The issuance of the preferred stock and the warrants was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, which did not involve a public offering. In connection with the private placement, we entered into purchase agreements with certain accredited investors. Under the purchase agreements, we have agreed to indemnify each selling stockholder and their respective directors, officers, members, partners, employees, agents and representatives, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Additionally, pursuant to the purchase agreements, we agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement relating to the registration of the offer and sale by the accredited investors of the 7,296,204 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the contingent warrants issued to the accredited investors in the private placement. We have filed the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part in order to comply with our obligation under the purchase agreements to the accredited investors.

The following table sets forth information regarding the selling stockholders and the number of shares of common stock each selling stockholder is offering. The information included in the table as to the selling stockholders has been furnished to us by or on behalf of the selling stockholders for inclusion in this prospectus. The selling stockholders identified below may have sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of some or all of their securities since the date as of which the information in the following table is presented in transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and of which we are not aware. The term “selling stockholder” includes donees, pledgees, transferees, or other successors-in-interest selling securities received from the named selling stockholders as a gift, pledge, stockholder distribution or other non-sale related transfer after the date of this prospectus. Under the rules of the SEC, beneficial ownership includes shares over which the indicated beneficial owner exercises voting or investment power. The information regarding shares beneficially owned after the offering assumes the sale of all shares offered by the selling stockholders. The percentage ownership data is based on 30,348,851 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of June 8, 2010.

Except as otherwise provided below, none of the selling stockholders is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer. We have been advised by the selling stockholders that they purchased the securities being registered in the ordinary course of business, and not for resale, and that they had, at the time of purchase, no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute such securities.

Jerry D. Dumas, Sr., one of the selling stockholders, is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. To our knowledge, none of the other selling stockholders has, or has had within the past three years, any position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates, other than their ownership of securities described below.

negotiated transactions;

 

   

transactions otherwise than on the NYSE or exchanges;

 

   

underwritten offerings;

 

   

distributions to equity security holders, partners or other stockholders of the selling stockholders;

 

   

through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise; or

 

   

through a combination of these methods of sale.

The selling stockholders may sell the shares of our common stock at:

 

   

fixed prices which may be changed;

 

   

market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

 

   

prices related to prevailing market prices;

 

   

negotiated prices; or

 

   

any other method permitted by law.

The term “selling stockholder” includes donees, pledgees, transferees, or other successors-in-interest selling securities received from the named selling stockholders as a gift, pledge, stockholder distribution or other non-sale related transfer after the date of this prospectus.

OTA LLC, as a registered broker-dealer, is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act for the purposes of this offering, and any commissions paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed, to OTA LLC will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

In connection with sales of the common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock to close out short positions, or loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell those shares. If the selling stockholders effects such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, those underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal. Any such discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, brokers-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved.

The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them. If the selling stockholders default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus or an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer or agent participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed, to any such broker-dealer or agent may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealer or agent, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.
