CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Oct. 2, 2013) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE U.S.

Ceiba Energy Services Inc. ("Ceiba Energy" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CEB) a provider of specialized services to the energy sector, is pleased to announce the following:

  • Record volumes at the Silver Valley facility delivering growth of 266% over Q3 2012, 45% growth over Q1 2013 and 33% growth over Q2 2013;
  • Construction of the Chamberlain facility is on schedule to open in the fourth quarter;
  • Official launch of new website, www.ceibaenergy.com and corporate presentation.

Operational Updates

Silver Valley:

The facility received approximately 33,000 cubic metres of produced water and emulsion volumes for the third quarter. This volume represents an approximate increase of 266% over Q3 2012, a 33% increase over the second quarter of 2013 and a 46% increase over the first quarter of 2013, the quarter that typically delivers the highest volumes for the industry. This increase is attributed to the continued optimization of the facility, and an expanding customer base in the area as a result of focused marketing efforts.

Additionally the Company expects to receive approval for the expansion of the Silver Valley facility to allow for additional capacity and improvements in offloading capabilities. Management expects that the continued strong demand in the area for the Company's services and this expansion will allow Ceiba Energy to capture additional volumes that currently exist in the market. The Company plans to proceed with the expansion after break-up in 2014 with a target to double receipts and processing capacity at the facility over the next year.

Chamberlain:

After the successful completion of the workover well in early July, the Company immediately commenced construction on the Chamberlain facility in Strathcona, Edmonton. This work has proceeded on time and on budget and is approximately 85% complete. Management currently forecasts the facility to be operating by early November 2013. For pictures and additional information on the progress at Chamberlain, please visit our website at www.ceibaenergy.com.

The facility, originally scheduled to operate with a 12 hour shift, will open with extended hours due to the high level of advance interest from new and current clients in the area. Chamberlain is a Custom Treating Facility and is licensed to receive emulsion for treating and produced water for disposal.

The opening of the Chamberlain facility will provide the Company with three operational facilities contributing revenue and operating margin to the Company in the fourth quarter.

"We are extremely pleased with delivering record volumes for three quarters in a row at the Silver Valley facility and moving forward with the expansion," said Ian Simister, President, "Further, the opening of the Chamberlain facility in the fourth quarter will be a major milestone in executing the growth plan for the Company."

Future Plans and Outlook

With the Chamberlain facility nearly completed, the Company is now focusing on its capital and growth plans for 2014 and will provide more detail as the budgets are completed. However, the Company expects that these plans will include expanding services at the Silver Valley facility in 2014 as well as developing two new targeted wastewater disposal facilities. The Company continues to evaluate and seek additional acquisition and expansion opportunities.

The Company is pleased to announce the relaunch of its corporate website, www.ceibaenergy.com. The Company's new corporate presentation is available on the website.
