     This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 11, 2010 (the “Initial Schedule TO”) and Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on August 23, 2010 by Nabors Industries Ltd., a Bermuda exempt company (“Nabors”), and Diamond Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Nabors (“Offeror”). This Amendment relates to the offer by Offeror to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Superior Well Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Superior”), for $22.12 per Share, net to the seller in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated August 11, 2010 (as amended to date, the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements to the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal, collectively constitute the “Offer”).
     Documentation relating to the Offer has been mailed to Superior stockholders and may be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov , and may also be obtained at no charge by directing a request by mail to the information agent for the Offer, Georgeson Inc. at 199 Water Street, 26th Floor, New York, New York 10038 or by calling toll free at (866) 647-8869 or collect at (212) 440-9800 for banks and brokers.
Items 1 through 11.
     Pursuant to General Instruction F to Schedule TO, the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, including all schedules and annexes to the Offer to Purchase, is hereby expressly incorporated in this Amendment by reference in response to Items 1 through 11 of this Amendment and is supplemented by the information specifically provided for in this Amendment. The Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 6, 2010, by and among Superior, Nabors and Offeror (the “Merger Agreement”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (d)(l) to this Amendment, and the Tender and Voting Agreement, dated as August 6, 2010, by and among Nabors and certain stockholders of Superior that are signatories thereto, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (d)(2) to this Amendment, are each incorporated in this Amendment by reference.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(1)   The following paragraph shall be added on page 23 as the last paragraph under the heading “Background of the Offer; Past Contacts or Negotiations with Superior” of the Offer to Purchase.
 
    “On August 25, 2010, Stephen Bushansky, a purported stockholder of Superior Well Services, Inc., filed a complaint on behalf of himself and as a putative class action on behalf of Superior’s stockholders, against Superior, each of Superior’s officers and directors, Offeror and Nabors in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania under the caption Bushansky v. Superior Well Services, Inc., et al. (Civil Action No. 2:10-CV-01121-CB). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the disclosures contained in the Schedule 14D-9 filed by Superior with the SEC are false and misleading and contain misrepresentations and omissions of material fact in violation of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act, and that defendants breached their fiduciary duties and violated Sections 14(e) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act by entering into the Merger Agreement and filing the Schedule 14D-9, and that Nabors and Offeror aided and abetted those breaches. The complaint does not state how many shares are purportedly held by the plaintiff, Stephen Bushansky. The complaint seeks, among other things, a judgment determining that the action brought by the complaint is properly maintainable as a class action, a declaration that the defendants have breached fiduciary duties and violated Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act, an injunction preventing the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, an award of compensatory damages to the plaintiff and other members of the class, and award of the plaintiff’s costs, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees. Nabors views the complaint as lacking merit, and intends to defend the case vigorously.”

(2)   The first full paragraph that appears on page 34 of the Offer to Purchase under the heading “Conditions of the Offer” is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
 
    “The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Offeror and may be asserted or waived by Offeror in whole or in part on or before the Expiration Date, subject in each case to the terms and requirements of the Merger Agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. The failure by Offeror at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right, and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted on or before the Expiration Date. If Offeror waives a material condition to the Offer, Offeror will extend the Offer and disseminate additional tender offer materials to the extent required by applicable law and the applicable regulations of the SEC. The minimum period during which a tender offer must remain open following material changes in the terms of the Offer, other than a change in price or a change in percentage of securities sought, depends upon the facts and circumstances, including the materiality of the changes. In the SEC’s view, an offer should remain open for a minimum of five business days from the date the material change is first published, sent or given to stockholders, and, if material changes are made with respect to information that approaches the significance of price and the percentage of securities sought, a minimum of 10 business days may be required to allow for adequate dissemination and investor response. With respect to a change in price, a minimum 10-business-day period from the date of the change is generally required to allow for adequate dissemination to stockholders. Accordingly, if, prior to the Expiration Date, Offeror decreases the number of Shares being sought (which would require the consent of Superior), or increases or decreases (which decrease would require the consent of Superior) the consideration offered pursuant to the Offer, and if the Offer is scheduled to expire at any time earlier than the period ending on the 10th business day from the date that notice of the increase or decrease is first published, sent or given to Superior stockholders, Offeror will extend the Offer at least until the expiration of that period of 10 business days.”
