EXPLANATORY NOTE
Pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Reg. No. 333-44272)
(the "Registration Statement"), Weatherford International, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), registered (i) $910,000,000 Zero Coupon Convertible
Senior Debentures due 2020 (the "Debentures") and (ii) 9,097,270 shares of the
Company's common stock, $1.00 par value (the "Common Stock"), which were
initially issuable upon conversion of the Debentures plus such additional
indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon
conversion of the Debentures as a result of adjustments to the conversion price
(the "Shares"), in connection with the offer for resale of the Debentures and
the Shares by certain security holders of the Company (the "Offering"). The
Registration Statement was declared effective by the Commission on September 14,
2000.
The Company has determined that $121,000,000 of the Debentures and all
of the Shares that were registered in connection with the Offering remain unsold
and can be removed from registration. Therefore, pursuant to the undertaking
made by the Company required by Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company
files this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement for the
purpose of removing from registration $121,000,000 of the Debentures and all of
the Shares, which were not, and are not expected to be, sold in the Offering.
