HOUSTON, (July 20, 2004) — Boots & Coots International Well Control, Inc. (Amex: WEL), a global prevention, emergency response and restoration company for the oil and gas industry, plans to release earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 on Tuesday, August 3.

“We have streamlined our internal processes so that we can report financial results to our shareholders more quickly,” stated Jerry Winchester, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As a result, we will be announcing second quarter results closer to 30 days after the quarter ends as opposed to contemporaneously with the 45-day filing deadline.

“The second quarter was a strong quarter for our response segment, with response work in Iraq, Nigeria and Germany, as well as activity domestically,” continued Winchester. “Much of this work resulted from acts of sabotage within Iraq, and we continue to be willing and ready to assist in Iraq and globally in responding to terrorist acts affecting oil and gas infrastructures. Our prevention revenues remained flat during the quarter but we continue to believe that activity will increase in this segment over the latter half of the year. We are committed to expanding existing SafeGuard services and developing new SafeGuard locations, as well as aggressively pursuing other business development opportunities that offer to increase our predictable revenue base.”
