HIGHLIGHTS - SECOND QUARTER 2013
Revenue for the second quarter of 2013 was $38.4 million, a decrease of $12.5
million compared to the second quarter of 2012.
-- Coil Well Service - Essential's coil well service business experienced a
decline in revenue relative to prior year due to abnormally wet
conditions which extended spring break-up preventing equipment from
returning to work. Deep coil tubing utilization was limited to 18% given
the restrictions on moving heavy equipment due to road bans. In the
comparative period of 2012, Essential also had two customer projects
that did not recur in 2013.
-- Service Rigs - Service rig revenue was relatively unchanged compared to
prior year despite the wet conditions and the net addition of three
service rigs to the fleet. Service rig utilization at 28% decreased from
prior year. Demand continued for Essential's service rigs operating on
steam-assisted gravity drainage ("SAGD") wells contributing to
incremental revenue in 2013.
-- Downhole Tools & Rentals - Revenue for downhole tools & rentals remained
relatively flat during the second quarter of 2013 compared to prior
year, performing well in a challenging industry environment in which
drilling rig utilization decreased 18% quarter-over-quarter.
EBITDA for the second quarter of 2013 was a loss of $5.2 million, a decrease of
$5.1 million from 2012. The decrease was mainly attributable to lower
utilization in the coil well service business and the greater impact on margins
of operating costs incurred relative to revenue. Certain expenses associated
with labour, maintaining equipment and service locations, infrastructure and
administration have a fixed cost component, negatively impacting operating
margins during periods of low activity. A portion of these operating costs
normally incurred near the end of the first quarter were pushed into the second
quarter of 2013 due to the extended winter season.
Essential's capital program remains on target. During the second quarter,
Essential commissioned one mobile free standing, all period double service rig
which is SAGD capable. Essential also took delivery of two nitrogen pumpers in
the second quarter.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The seasonal decline in activity associated with spring break-up was more
pronounced in the second quarter of 2013 as activity in the Western Canadian
Sedimentary Basin ("WCSB") was significantly below prior year levels. The second
quarter of 2013 experienced particularly wet conditions due to melting of
elevated snowpacks at the completion of the winter season and heavy rainfall
throughout most of the second quarter. These factors impacted ground moisture,
limiting access to well sites and delaying activity in June, when oilfield
equipment typically returns to work.
Drilling rig utilization, number of wells drilled and well completion count, all
indicators of overall activity in the WCSB, were down quarter-over-quarter
compared to prior year as persistent wet conditions limited access to well
sites. Compared to the second quarter 2012, drilling rig utilization decreased
18%, the number of wells drilled decreased by 13% and well completion count
decreased 20%.

Coil well service revenue decreased during the second quarter of 2013 compared
to the same period in the prior year due to persistent wet conditions in Alberta
throughout most of the second quarter and the melting of heavy snowpacks at the
end of the winter season. Deep coil tubing utilization, below prior year levels,
shows a similar trend to the decline in industry drilling rig utilization and
well completion count quarter-over-quarter. In the comparative period of 2012,
Essential's coil well service revenue and deep coil tubing utilization also
included two customer projects which accounted for more than half of the
quarter-over-quarter revenue reduction. Revenue per hour for coil well service
decreased from prior year due to a change in the mix of services provided.
Service rig operations performed well during the second quarter of 2013 compared
to the prior year despite unfavourable industry conditions which saw a 20%
decrease in industry well completion activity. Production work opportunities
were also adversely impacted by the wet conditions. Although wet conditions and
lower activity negatively impacted many areas of the WCSB, revenue per hour in
the second quarter of 2013 increased from prior year due to the mix of services
provided, including an increase in SAGD revenue.
Well servicing revenue decreased on a year-to-date basis in 2013 compared to
2012 primarily due to the disposal of the drilling rig operations in November
2012.
Operating expenses were lower in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the same
period in the prior year mainly as a result of lower variable operating costs
which fluctuate based on activity. During the second quarter of 2013, Essential
continued to incur fixed operating costs associated with retaining key personnel
and maintaining equipment and service locations. These costs tend to negatively
impact operating margins during periods of low activity. In comparison to the
second quarter of 2012, Essential absorbed higher repairs and maintenance costs
as a result of the extended winter operating season in the first quarter of 2013
which delayed the start of its spring maintenance program until April 2013.
Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were lower compared to
the prior year as a result of lower variable operating costs which fluctuate
based on activity.

From a revenue perspective, the downhole tools & rentals segment performed well
during the second quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year
despite wet conditions which resulted in an 18% decrease in drilling rig
utilization quarter-over-quarter. Revenue for the higher margin conventional
tubular rentals business decreased quarter-over-quarter due to the decline in
industry drilling rig activity.
Downhole tools & rentals revenue increased on a year-to-date basis in 2013
compared to 2012 as a result of first quarter Tryton Multi Stage Fracturing
System ("Tryton MSFS") activity which was much stronger during the busy winter
drilling season.
Operating expenses increased on a quarter-over-quarter basis due in part to
start-up costs related to the expansion of the downhole tools operations into
the United States without any corresponding increase in revenue as the business
is in the pre-operating phase.

General and administrative expenses are comprised of wages, professional fees,
office space and other administrative costs incurred at the corporate and
operation levels. General and administrative expenses in the second quarter of
2013 were comparable to 2012, although as a percentage of revenue, expenses
increased due to lower activity in the second quarter of 2013. Year-over-year
general and administrative expenses were higher due to increased staffing,
professional fees and infrastructure costs.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Essential ceased operating activities in Colombia in early July 2013, with the
conclusion of its final contractual obligations. During the second quarter of
2013, Essential re-assessed the estimated net realizable value of oilfield
service equipment in Colombia, and a further $2.4 million loss on revaluation
was taken. This loss reflects the deterioration in the Colombian oilfield
services market. As of August 7, 2013, Essential has received $1.1 million in
cash proceeds from the sales of Colombian assets to date.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, Essential's equipment
expenditures of $11.9 million and $18.7 million, respectively, were primarily
progress payments for the 2013 capital builds and maintenance capital
expenditures.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, Essential commissioned the following
assets to its fleet:
-- Two mobile free standing, all period double service rigs which are SAGD
capable, one in each of the first and second quarters, respectively,
and;
-- Two nitrogen pumpers in the second quarter.
Essential classifies its equipment expenditures as growth capital(1) and
maintenance capital(1):

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total equipment expenditures $ 11,880 $ 12,376 $ 18,704 $ 22,566
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Essential's 2013 capital spending budget of $45 million is comprised of $32
million of growth (1) capital and $13 million of maintenance (1) capital.
Capital spending remains on track for 2013.
As previously disclosed, Essential has commitments to build three deep
Generation III coil tubing rigs with a fabrication company that has been having
significant issues meeting delivery deadlines. When Essential announced its 2013
capital budget, one of those deep coil tubing rigs was included in the delivery
expectations for 2013 and two were not. The first rig is currently in the final
stages of commissioning and is expected to be ready for work in September 2013.
Unfortunately, the fabricator is still unable to provide firm delivery timing
for the other two rigs. Deposits on these remaining two rigs are approximately
$3.6 million. Essential continues to work with the fabricator to determine the
outcome of these two rigs.
The following table shows the expected in-service dates of the major equipment
being built over the remainder of 2013:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
OUTLOOK
After a very slow second quarter, Canadian oilfield services demand has returned
to levels normal for this time of year and similar to last year. With horizontal
well development continuing to lead drilling activity, Essential expects to
benefit from demand for its growing fleet of deep coil tubing rigs and its
downhole tool business. There continues to be longer-term optimism with
investment focused on the Montney, Horn River and the Duvernay natural gas
basins to develop the reserves to provide gas to the proposed liquefied natural
gas ("LNG") export facilities in British Columbia. Such development would
increase the demand for Essential's oilfield services to complete these wells.
The expansion of Essential's deep masted coil tubing fleet is on track with one
deep masted coil tubing rig expected in service in the third quarter and three
in the fourth quarter. These state-of-the-art deep rigs are well-suited for work
in the Montney, Horn River and the Duvernay basins, which again are the primary
gas basins to provide feedstock for the anticipated LNG export facilities.
Essential is in the process of organically expanding its downhole tool
operations into the United States. Pre-operating activities remain on track and
operations are expected to commence in the third quarter.
Essential has a very strong balance sheet with $29.1 million of debt outstanding
on August 7, 2013 and debt to EBITDA of 0.4x. Early in 2012, Essential
implemented a quarterly dividend of $0.025 per quarter. Reflecting the Company's
financial strength and positive view of the future, the dividend has been
increased by 20% to $0.03 per quarter, effective with the third quarter
dividend, payable in October.
The second quarter Management's Discussion and Analysis and Financial Statements
are available on Essential's website at www.essentialenergy.ca and on SEDAR at

(1)Non-IFRS Measures
Throughout this press release, certain terms that are not specifically defined
in IFRS are used to analyze Essential's operations. In addition to the primary
measures of net earnings and net earnings per share in accordance with IFRS,
Essential believes that certain measures not recognized under IFRS assist both
Essential and the reader in assessing performance and understanding Essential's
results. Each of these measures provides the reader with additional insight into
Essential's ability to fund principal debt repayments and capital programs. As a
result, the method of calculation may not be comparable with other companies.
These measures should not be considered alternatives to net earnings and net
earnings per share as calculated in accordance with IFRS.
EBITDA (Earnings before finance costs, income taxes, depreciation, amortization,
transaction costs, non- controlling interest earnings, losses or gains on
disposal of equipment, results of discontinued operations and share-based
compensation) - This measure is considered an indicator of Essential's ability
to generate funds flow in order to fund required working capital, service debt
and fund capital programs.
EBITDA % - This measure is considered an indicator of Essential's ability to
generate funds flow as calculated by EBITDA divided by revenue.
Funds flow or funds flow from operations - This measure is an indicator of
Essential's ability to generate funds flow in order to fund working capital,
principal debt repayments and capital programs. Funds flow or funds flow from
operations is defined as cash flow from operations before changes in non-cash
operating working capital. This measure is useful in assessing Essential's
operational cash flow as it provides cash generated in the period excluding the
timing of non-cash operating working capital. This reflects the ability of the
operations of Essential to meet the above noted funding requirements.
Working capital - Working capital is calculated as current assets less current
liabilities.
Growth capital - Growth capital is capital spending which is intended to result
in incremental increases in revenue. Growth capital is considered to be a key
measure as it represents the total expenditures on equipment expected to add
incremental revenues and funds flow to Essential.
Maintenance capital - Equipment additions that are incurred in order to
refurbish or replace previously acquired equipment less proceeds on the disposal
of retired equipment. Such additions do not provide incremental increases in
revenue. Maintenance capital is a key component in understanding the
sustainability of Essential's business as cash resources retained within
Essential must be sufficient to meet maintenance capital needs to replenish the
assets for future cash generation.
Net equipment expenditures - This measure is equipment expenditures less
proceeds on the disposal of equipment. Essential uses net equipment expenditures
to assess net cash flows related to the financing of Essential's oilfield
services equipment.

projects or capital expenditures and changes in legislation, including but not
limited to tax laws, royalties, incentive programs and environmental
regulations; stock market volatility and the inability to access sufficient
capital from external and internal sources; the ability of the Company's
subsidiaries to enforce legal rights in foreign jurisdictions; general economic,
market or business conditions; global economic events; changes to Essential's
financial position and cash flow; the availability of qualified personnel,
management or other key inputs; currency exchange fluctuations; changes in
political and security stability; risks and other unforeseen conditions
associated with the sale of the Colombian business; risks and uncertainty
related to distribution and pipeline constraints; and other unforeseen
conditions which could impact the use of services supplied by the Company.

statements. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not
exhaustive.

Company's financial results are included in reports on file with applicable
securities regulatory authorities and may be accessed through the SEDAR website
