ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
On April 8, 2002, John R. Huff, our Chief Executive Officer, will make a
presentation at the Howard Weil 30th Annual Energy Conference in New Orleans,
LA. The presentation, entitled "HOWARD WEIL ENERGY CONFERENCE -- April 2002,"
will be available on our web site, www.oceaneering.com, by first visiting our
Shareholder Information page and then choosing Presentations.
Please note that certain information contained in the update, as well as certain
written and oral statements made or incorporated by reference from time to time
by us or our representatives in our reports and filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, news releases, conferences, teleconferences, web postings
or otherwise, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to
the "Safe Harbor" provisions of those statutes. Forward-looking statements
include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific
projects and our future backlog, revenues, income and capital spending.
Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as
"estimate," "project," "predict," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "plan,"
"forecast," "budget," "goal" or other words that convey the uncertainty of
future events or outcomes. These forward-looking statements are based on our
current information and expectations that involve a number of risks,
uncertainties, and assumptions. Among the factors that could cause the actual
results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking
statements are:
o worldwide demand for oil and gas;
o general economic and business conditions and industry trends;
o the continued strength of the industry segments in which we are
involved;
o decisions about offshore developments to be made by oil and gas
companies;
o the highly competitive nature of our businesses;
o our future financial performance, including availability, terms and
deployment of capital;
o the continued availability of qualified personnel;
o operating risks normally incident to offshore exploration,
development and production operations;
o changes in, or our ability to comply with, government regulations,
including those relating to the environment;
o rapid technological changes; and
o social, political and economic situations in foreign countries where
we do business.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the
assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual
outcomes could vary materially from those indicated. For additional information
regarding these and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ
materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements, see our
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of our
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.
