Canadian Oilfield Solutions Corp.: Release of Year-End Results and Operations Update

Marketwired Canada
NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Canadian Oilfield Solutions Corp. (the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:OTS) has
released its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2013 and provides
the following Operations and Corporate update.
OPERATIONS UPDATE
ARTIFICIAL LIFT
The Corporation signed an exclusive distribution agreement in late 2013 for the
Linear Electric Submersible Motor being developed by Han's Motor Company in
China. Subsequently, we have secured interest from a Canadian partner to perform
a five well pilot test, and have engaged a service company for discussions on
deployment of the technology by the end of summer 2014.
In 2013, our submersible pump sales continued to experience solid growth,
posting improved year-over-year revenues due to successful market share growth
in Wyoming. Management expects continued organic growth from this division as it
continues to demonstrate high quality of service and products.
Our submersible electric motor sales added modest revenue growth in 2013, and we
expect significantly higher sales volumes as we enter our second year providing
sales into the mining (dewatering), agriculture, and municipal water industries.
The Corporation has key relationships with major manufacturers of ESP motors,
and distributes its own brand of motors in addition to internationally known
brands. Motor sales are typically made to domestic and international submersible
pump companies that service the water industries.
The diversification into the water industries is expected to help offset the
traditionally weak second quarter sales experienced in much of the oil and gas
sector. In 2014 management will focus on expanding its sales into Canada through
existing relationships within the pump supply sector.
CONSTRUCTION
We experienced delays in southern Mexico as our client worked through regulatory
and environmental approvals for its projects, and construction only began
picking up late in the second quarter of 2013. Since that time, we have provided
continuous services that have resulted in us exiting 2013 with two projects
running concurrently - which achieves one of our major goals of having multiple
operations. Although the results over 2013 were not as anticipated, the market
suggests that there is an increasing inventory of projects in which to engage
and local management is encouraged heading into 2014.
PIPE SALES & INSTALLATION
Budget reallocations by the Mexican national oil company Pemex caused pipe
projects to be cancelled throughout 2013. We do not expect these delays to
continue. Pemex has begun discussing upcoming projects and there are indications
of a return of budgets for both new pipelines and for line remediation. The
pipeline infrastructure within Mexico has experienced tremendous corrosion
issues and the FlexSteel(TM) flexible pipe products that we sell into Mexico are
ideal for remediating the problems. Management will provide updates on the pipe
market in Mexico as they become available.
CORPORATE
The Corporation announced a significant debt financing of $5 million in December
2013, which was fully subscribed including the overallotment as of March 3,
2014. In addition, the senior management team was strengthened in May 2013 with
the addition of a new Chief Financial Officer, Scott Hamilton, who is a
Chartered Accountant.

under applicable securities legislation. All statements, other than those of
historical fact, which address activities, events, outcomes, results or

Forward-looking information is based on current expectations, estimates,
projections and assumptions, which the Corporation believes are reasonable but
which may prove to be incorrect and therefore such forward-looking information
should not be unduly relied upon. The forward-looking information in this
document is based upon on various assumptions, including assumptions that the
Corporation's contracts will be completed in accordance with their terms and
according to schedule and that the projects will not be unduly delayed due to
weather or underground conditions at the project sites as well as assumptions
regarding industry activity: the general stability of the economic and political
environment; the effect of market conditions on demand for the Corporation's
products and services; the ability to obtain qualified staff, equipment and
services in a timely and cost efficient manner; the ability to operate its
business in a safe, efficient and effective manner; the performance and
characteristics of various business segments; the effect of current plans; the
timing and costs of capital expenditures; future oil and natural gas prices;
currency, exchange and interest rates; the regulatory framework regarding
royalties, taxes and environmental matters in the jurisdictions in which the
Corporation operates; and the ability of the Corporation to successfully market
its products and services.
Further, there is a multitude of risks that may cause the Corporation's actual
results to differ materially from those contemplated (whether expressly or by
implication) in the forward-looking information in this document. These risks
include, without limitation, risks of counterparties breaching contracts;
construction risks; economic risks; the risk that revenues may not be received
in the timeframe that is projected in this document; uncertainty regarding
underground conditions; financing risks; solvency risks; tax risks; legislative
and regulatory developments; customers' completion of expected work programs;
fluctuating prices for crude oil and natural gas; changes in drilling activity;
general global economic, political and business conditions; weather conditions;
regulatory changes; the successful exploitation and integration of technology;
customer acceptance of technology; success in obtaining issued patents; the
potential development of competing technologies by market competitors;
availability of products, qualified personnel, manufacturing capacity and raw
materials, and the Corporation's successful performance under contracts. Readers
are cautioned that the above list of factors is not exhaustive. Other factors
which could cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Corporation
to differ materially from those contemplated (whether expressly or by
implication) in the forward-looking statements or other forward-looking
information are disclosed in the Corporation's publicly filed disclosure
documents.
The Corporation is not obligated to update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
except as required by applicable laws. Because of these risks, uncertainties and
assumptions, prospective investors should not place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements. The foregoing statements expressly qualify any
forward-looking information stated in this document.
