Enseco Energy Services Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ENS) ("Enseco") is pleased to announce
that it has entered into a contract to exchange its Cased Hole Wireline Assets
for the Canadian Production Testing Assets of a Multinational Oilfield Service
Company effective March 1, 2009.


Mr. David Hawkins President and CEO of Enseco states:

"This is a significant transaction for Enseco. This asset exchange will allow
Enseco to achieve significant economies of scale and operating mass in its
Production Testing business going forward. It also allows Enseco to make a
significant move into new areas of the Production Testing business such as
In-line testing and High Pressure Critical Sour testing that Enseco has had
limited exposure to due to our current equipment base. These new areas of the
Production Testing business are less competitive due to higher barriers to entry
than the General P-tank business that Enseco currently competes in. The new
Production Testing Assets will be rolled into Enseco's existing infrastructure
with minimal overhead cost increases allowing for greater economies of scale.


This transaction removes a business line from Enseco that did not have economies
of scale and operating mass, and strategically streamlines Enseco's business
lines. The impact from the recent change in the Alberta Royalty structure
combined with the reduction in commodity prices, has significantly reduced the
capital spending in Alberta by our customers. This business line also had the
highest fixed cost structure of all of Enseco's business lines which did not
allow costs to fall in line with the reductions in revenues experienced by this
business unit.  This has been reflected in the operating results of this
division. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008 the Cased Hole
Wireline business experienced net losses of $854 thousand and $2.5 million
respectively. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008 the Cased
Hole Wireline business had negative cash flow from operations of $520 thousand
and $1.4 million respectively."


Following this transaction Enseco will be one of the premiere and largest
Production Testing Services providers in Canada, this will enable Enseco to
compete in the foothills market on par with the traditional foothills suppliers.
In addition to Enseco's existing equipment, we will now be able to provide
complete full sour service packages (14Mpa separators/2000psi), product content
(Inline) testing package (14Mpa separator/2000psi). Additional support equipment
includes; hot oil circulating systems, 55 metre (180ft) flare stacks, flanged
flow lines (7Mpa/10,000psi), fluid storage, and line heaters 879kw (3mmbtu/hr)
to 147kw (1/2mmbtu/hr). At peak capacity Enseco production testing will be able
to provide experienced field and support personnel to serve over fifty locations
in the western Canadian basin.
