NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH U.S. NEWSWIRES Estrella International Energy Services Ltd. ("Estrella" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:EEN) announces that it has filed its Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the three month period ended March 31, 2013. Copies of these documents can be found on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com. In this press release, except for share amounts, all dollar amounts are in US$ '000 unless otherwise specified. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company was able to deploy the upgraded 1000 HP rig 1002 in Colombia, identify new clients in the country and most notably deploy rigs 1201 and 551 onto multi-year contract with YPF in Argentina (Rig 551 initiated operations in April 2013). Rig 1201 is drilling non-conventional high pressure gas wells in the Neuquen basin, and was able to set a record for drilling into the deep Vaca Muerta formation in only its second well, drilling and cementing the well in less than 23 days. The Company exited the quarter at 51% average utilization. The Company has now 9 of 19 rigs on long term contracts giving a baseline utilization of 47%, and an additional three rigs working on shorter term contracts. While directional activity was down slightly quarter on quarter due to lower activity in Chile, the market position in Argentina improved significantly with successful runs for three new clients in the quarter. The Company continues to be focused on reducing the overall indebtedness of the business. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, CDN$534 of principal on its January 2011 Convertible Debentures was prepaid. Additionally, the Company is continuing its efforts in respect of its cost reduction plans, with reductions in overhead staff and further consolidation of operating activities. In its continuing goal to have an injury free workplace, the Company completed this quarter without any Lost Time Injuries, a substantial achievement. Selected Financial Information for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2013 During the quarter the Company recorded revenues of $16,532 ($14,349 in 2012), this notwithstanding that the Company's rig utilization rate was 51% (52% in 2012).
