Canadian Oilfield Solutions Corp.: Operations Update

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Dec. 5, 2013) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Canadian Oilfield Solutions Corp. (the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:OTS) is pleased to provide an update on its Operations as follows:

Project management and financing (Mexico Construction)

The Corporation continues to execute on its construction finance business in Mexico with the successful completion of multiple construction projects. One of the projects was of considerable scope, requiring in excess of USD 2.2 million working capital, and was completed in early Q3 both under budget and ahead of schedule. Our third project of significant scope is under way with an estimated completion of mid Q1 2014. In addition to current operations, the Corporation is pursuing several new projects with start dates ranging throughout Q4 2013 and into Q1 2014, and are expected to run concurrently with varying timelines of 60 to 150 days to completion. The projects include the construction of new access roads and drilling sites, and require capital budgets ranging from USD $1 million to $10 million each. All new projects are contingent on the Corporation's ability to provide the required working capital.

Pipe sales and installation (Mexico)

The Corporation has established new sales of flexible steel pipe products in Southern Mexico with a key client who has chosen to work exclusively with steel-based flexible pipe products. The new client brings considerable credibility to the product's performance, and management expects the client will provide a consistent volume of pipe work in the future. Under the arrangement, the Corporation is currently providing funding for two flexible pipe installations, one 4" and another 6" in diameter, with combined lengths of 4.8 km. The Corporation will share in the profits from the products and services. The installations are estimated to be completed in mid-December 2013, and additional pipe projects are anticipated throughout 2014. Flexible pipe projects in the Northern region have experienced delays due to Pemex funding restraints, but these budget restraints are not expected to continue through 2014. Several projects in the Northern region are currently under review by Pemex and if approved are expected to have budgets released in Q1 2014.

The Bitzalcobo pipe project in the Southern region, which began in Q3 2011 as a test project to investigate the installation capabilities of flexible steel pipe over challenging terrain, is on its final phase and expected to be completed in Q4 2013. The terrain included swamps, riverbeds, and mountain tunnels and has exceeded the expectations of Pemex. The success of the project validates the wide range of terrain that can be crossed using FlexSteel™ products and is expected to generate future opportunities for the Corporation.

Pump sales and services

The Corporation's submersible pump business continues its growth and diversification, and has recently been awarded preferred vendor status from a major client operating in the Powder River Basin in Wyoming. Management anticipates the additional work will provide substantial growth to the operations in Wyoming. The Corporation has added Electric Submersible Progressing Cavity Pumps to its product offering. This pump design has increased the number of well types that can be serviced.

The Corporation also continues to grow its distribution network of electric submersible motors, and has received its first order from a large client in the Canadian copper mining industry. The Corporation's distribution network now includes energy, mining, agriculture and municipal/industrial water industries.

Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canadian Oilfield Solutions Corp. provides an array of specialized products and services that are used in the energy, mining, and industrial & agricultural water industries.
