OUTLOOK

Enseco's third quarter results continue to reflect the implementation of the
Company's strategy of focusing on key resource plays in North America by growing
its directional drilling and production testing businesses for which demand in
the resource plays continues to increase.


The outlook for Enseco's operation continues to be very favorable. The
significant increase in horizontal multi-stage fracturing operations in North
American resource plays continue to create a growing market for the
Corporation's services. Resource play drilling in both Canada and the United
States have led to record levels of horizontal drilling activity. Currently,
over 75% of Enseco's total revenue is related to oil/liquids operations.
Activity in the North Dakota and Saskatchewan Bakken, Cardium, Montney and
additional oil/liquid reservoirs in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin is
expected to continue to be strong through 2011.


Drilling operations continue to push technical and operational boundaries,
Enseco is developing a MWD electronics laboratory, in their existing Leduc
facility, that will allow MWD tools to be assembled, serviced, repaired and
calibrated in house. This strategy will lower repair costs and the time that
equipment is down for repair and will have a significant positive impact on
directional drilling margins going forward. This laboratory is expected to be
operational in April, 2011.


Enseco's production testing divisions posted record quarterly revenues and
EBITDA, and will continue to expand as demand for testing services increases.


We are pleased with the results of our efforts to refocus the Company and look
forward to reporting increasingly stronger financial results in the upcoming
quarters.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

Operating loss are losses before loss on disposal of equipment, income taxes,
and discontinued operations. EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization and is equal to earnings before income taxes from
continuing operations plus interest on debt, other interest expense,
depreciation and amortization, restructuring charges and loss on sale of
equipment. Cash flow means cash flows provided by continuing operations before
changes in non-cash working capital items. Gross margin is calculated as
revenues less operating expenses. Operating losses, EBITDA, cash flow, and gross
margin are not recognized measures under Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"). Management believes that in addition to net losses,
operating losses, EBITDA, cash flow, and gross margin are useful supplemental
measures as they provide an indication of the results generated by the Company's
primary business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are
financed, amortized or how the results are taxed in various jurisdictions as
well as the cash generated by the Company's primary business activities. Readers
should be cautioned, however, that operating losses, EBITDA, cash flow and gross
margin should not be construed as an alternative to net losses determined in
accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Enseco's performance. Enseco's method of
calculating operating losses, EBITDA, cash flow and gross margin may differ from
other organizations and, accordingly, operating losses, EBITDA, cash flow and
gross margin may not be comparable to measures used by other organizations.
