COOPER CAMERON ACQUIRES DRESSER FLOW CONTROL BUSINESSES
HOUSTON (December 1, 2005) - Cooper Cameron Corporation has closed on substantially all of the
businesses being acquired from the Flow Control segment of Dresser, Inc. for approximately $224
million in cash. The closing of the Brazilian portion of the business is awaiting Brazilian
regulatory confirmation of transfer of operating permits and tax documentation, and is expected to
be completed in early 2006.
The businesses being acquired serve customers in the worldwide oil and gas production,
pipeline and process markets, and will be combined with the Company's Cooper Cameron Valves
operations.
Cooper Cameron Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Sheldon R. Erikson said, "As
previously noted, we expect this acquisition to favorably impact our profitability in 2006, after
adjusting for one-time integration costs." Erikson said that the integration process will be
ongoing throughout 2006 and into early 2007.
Cooper Cameron Corporation (NYSE: CAM) is a leading international manufacturer of oil and gas
pressure control equipment, including valves, wellheads, controls, chokes, blowout preventers and
assembled systems for oil and gas drilling, production and transmission used in onshore, offshore
and subsea applications, and provides oil and gas separation, metering and flow measurement
equipment. Cooper Cameron is also a leading manufacturer of centrifugal air compressors, integral
and separable gas compressors and turbochargers.

In addition to the historical data contained herein, this document includes forward-looking
statements regarding performance of the acquired operations, the impact of the acquisition on the
future profitability of the Company and the timing of the closing of the Brazilian portion of the
transaction, made in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. The Company's actual results may differ materially from those described in
forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on current expectations of the Company's
performance and are subject to a variety of factors, not under the control of the Company, which
can affect the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial condition. Such factors may
include overall demand for the Company's products; changes in the price of (and demand for) oil and
gas in both domestic and international markets; political and social issues affecting the countries
in which the Company does business; fluctuations in currency markets worldwide; variations in
global economic activity; and changes in the financial markets, the satisfaction of the closing
conditions for the contemplated acquisition, the future performance of the businesses to be
acquired and the costs and timing associated with the integration process, as well as those factors
described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In
particular, current and projected oil and gas prices directly affect customers' spending levels and
their related purchases of the Company's products and services. Changes in oil and gas price
expectations may also lead to changes in the Company's cost structure, staffing or spending levels.
Because the information herein is based solely on data currently available, it is subject to
change as a result of changes in conditions over which the Company has no control or influence, and
should not therefore be viewed as assurance regarding the Company's future performance.
