This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.
Oil States International is an oilfield services company that designs, manufactures, and sells critical capital equipment and systems for offshore drilling rigs, floating production platforms, and subsea pipelines. Its products and services are integral to the exploration, drilling, and production phases of oil and natural gas extraction, placing its operations squarely within the upstream segment of the fossil fuel value chain.
The company has a documented history of regulatory violations, including a 2008 wage and hour violation that resulted in an $81,223 penalty from the U.S. Department of Labor. While its business is not integrated across the full fossil fuel chain like a major oil major, its specialized equipment and technology are deployed globally to enable and sustain upstream oil and gas operations.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
This information is provided for educational and transparency purposes only and should not be relied upon as investment advice. Data is drawn from independent watchdogs, NGOs, government registries, and Ethical Capital's ongoing research — see Research Sources for the full list.
