Estrella International Energy Services Ltd. ("Estrella" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:EEN) announces that on May 30, 2014 it filed its Interim Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Management's Discussion and

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company placed additional rigs to

operated on multi-year contracts. The Company finished the first quarter of 2014
with 47% average rig utilization. The Company currently has 24 of 45 rigs on

Similar to the year ended December 31, 2013, during the first quarter of 2014,
the Company showed significant progress in the Argentine market with its
directional drilling alliance with Scientific Drilling International, recording
its highest ever quarterly revenue of $1,837. The Company expects to increase
this investment in the Argentine market in 2014 by bringing new sets of
directional drilling tools that will allow the Company to expand its market
position.
