This Form 8-K/A amends our Form 8-K filed on December 8, 2010.

In connection with Larry E. Reimert’s previously disclosed stepping down as Co-Chief Executive Officer of Dril-Quip, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company and Mr. Reimert, Co-Chairman of the Board and Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company, have agreed that Mr. Reimert’s employment as Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company will terminate effective December 31, 2010 under circumstances entitling him to severance under his employment agreement with the Company. The termination of employment will allow Mr. Reimert to concentrate on his previously disclosed cancer related health issues. As previously disclosed, Mr. Reimert will retain his duties as Co-Chairman of the Board and will act as Technical and Strategic Advisor for the Company on a part-time basis. The terms of Mr. Reimert’s consulting arrangement have not yet been determined and will be disclosed in an amendment to the Form 8-K filed on December 8, 2010 when they are available.

J. Mike Walker, Co-Chairman of the Board and Co-Chief Executive Officer, will assume Mr. Reimert’s executive responsibilities, and Dril-Quip’s various departmental Vice Presidents will assume Mr. Reimert’s other day-to-day responsibilities.
