REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
National Oilwell Varco, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of National Oilwell Varco, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the
related consolidated statements of income, cash flows, and stockholders equity and comprehensive income for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2010. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial
statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of National
Oilwell Varco, Inc. at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), National Oilwell
Varco, Inc.s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 23, 2011
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
