OUTLOOK

In the last 12 months Enseco has moved from operating 5 varied business lines
down to two business lines, concentrated in the North American directional
drilling resource play basins. Significant growth both organically and by
acquisition has allowed the Company to take advantage of the increasing demand
for services required in these North American resource play environments.
Current higher resource play drilling levels in both Canada and the United
States have led to record levels of horizontal drilling activity. Many of
Enseco's North American clients have increased their drilling programs through
2010. As a result, Enseco expects to see continued higher utilization rates
through the upcoming quarters. 


Despite slow September activity due to very wet weather, the Company posted
record activities and profits. With continued strong activity and the ongoing
growth in the Company's two business lines, it is expected that both revenues
and profits will show additional significant growth in the Company's fiscal
third quarter. A clear focus on resource play activity and its rapid recent
growth leaves the Company in a stronger position going forward into the new
fiscal year. The gradual elimination of the use of rental equipment and the high
grading of the types of equipment acquired in the Company's recent acquisitions
have led to continually improving margins on both its directional drilling and
testing businesses. 


Both Enseco's testing division and its directional drilling division experienced
their highest revenue month in the Company's history during October with
expectations that the high utilization rates and increased profit margins will
continue throughout 2010 and into 2011.


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.

forward-looking statements are based upon the opinions, expectations and
estimates of management as at the date the statements are made including the
Company's current budget (which is subject to change), expectations regarding
the Company's ability to continue its operations, the continued support of the

expectations relating to future economic and operating conditions and statements
relating to Enseco's marketing, operational and business plans, the competitive
environment and opinions of third-party analysts respecting anticipated economic
and operating conditions. These forward-looking statements are subject to a
variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual
events or outcomes to differ materially from those anticipated or implied by
such forward-looking statements.

Such factors include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in the market for oil

NON-GAAP MEASURES

This press release refers to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA), cash flow and gross margin which are measures used by the
Company that are not a standard measure under Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"). EBITDA is equal to earnings before income taxes
from continuing operations plus interest on debt, other interest expense,
depreciation and amortization, 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.
Management believes that in addition to net 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 EBITDA, cash flow and gross margin should not be construed as an
alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of
Enseco's performance. Enseco's method of calculating EBITDA, cash flow and gross
margin may differ from other organizations and, accordingly, EBITDA, cash flow
and gross margin may not be comparable to measures used by other organizations.
