("Enteq" or the "Company")

AGM Trading Statement

Enteq, the oilfield services technology and equipment supplier, will make the following statement at its Annual General Meeting which takes place at 12.00 noon today at 2 Gresham Street, London EC2V 7QP:

The increase in the number of oil and gas rigs drilling on land in the USA to a current level of around 950 (approximately 500 in September 2016, but approximately 2,000 in the Autumn of 2014) has created some stability amongst the US based directional drilling companies, who are Enteq's primary customers. Some spare capacity of older Measurement While Drilling (MWD) kits remain in the market however upgrade programmes replacing older equipment are in progress.

Outside of the USA market cash flow for the funding of new drilling programmes, and hence the demand for equipment, remains slow. However, new opportunities exist and the previously announced Saudi Arabian contract remains on plan regarding equipment commissioning and contractual payments.

The Enteq Board is confident that the company is maintaining or increasing market share for Measurement While Drilling equipment.

The Company continues to invest in new product development while exercising tight controls over costs and, as a result, cash balances remains strong as at 18 September 2017 being US$ 15.0 million (US$ 15.2 million as at 30 September 2016).

The Enteq Board continues to believe in the potential for a strong long-term future, and expect the Company's current full year trading to be in line with its expectations.

The Company plans to release its interim results for the six months ending 30 September 2017 on 15 November 2017.
