SECURE Energy Services Inc. ("SECURE" or the "Corporation") (TSX:SES) today
announced that it has consolidated all of its operating entities and services
under the SECURE Energy Services brand name and provided an update in respect of
second quarter operations.


BRAND NAME CONSOLIDATION

Acquisitions have always been a part of the Corporation's growth strategy, with
the following brands joining the family over the past seven years: Marquis
Alliance, XL Fluid Systems, Imperial Drilling Fluids, Target Rentals, Frontline
Integrated Services, Infinity Oilfield Services, NextGeneration Solutions,
Dynomite Environmental Contracting and Dril-X Fluids. The Corporation has also
acquired assets from Heemskirk Canada, New West Drilling Fluids and Quadrise
Canada.


Consolidated under the SECURE brand name the Corporation now has over 1,300
employees, over $2.5 billion in enterprise value and carries on operations in 4
Canadian provinces and 2 U.S. states. Its operations are grouped under three
divisions: Processing, Recovery, & Disposal ("PRD"), Drilling Services ("DS")
and OnSite Services ("OS"). 


With all of its services under one brand, SECURE is better positioned to support
its clients throughout the entire lifecycle of a well - from drilling and
completions to production, final abandonment and reclamation. "Many of our
clients are increasingly seeing the value of integrated and innovative
services", said Rene Amirault, President and CEO at SECURE. "As their services
partner, SECURE can deliver total cost and operational efficiencies along with
clear accountability for quality, safety, and environmental protection."


Much of the effort required to implement the brand consolidation has been
completed, with full implementation expected by the end of the year. 


SECOND QUARTER OPERATIONAL UPDATE

The first two months of operations for the second quarter of 2014 have delivered
exceptional results with higher than anticipated demand for the Corporation's
services in all three divisions and increased operating days compared to the
same period in 2013. Due to the late onset of spring break-up and the prolonged
winter drilling season, activity levels were above expectations during April and
May that have typically been subject to a significant slowdown in the industry
as a whole. As a result, these first two months of the second quarter of 2014
are above management's expectations thus far.


SECURE also completed and commissioned both the Edson, Alberta and Keene, North
Dakota full service terminals in April of 2014 and continued to execute on
acquisition strategies both in the DS and OS divisions that have been accretive
to overall results.


As a result of the factors above, SECURE anticipates consolidated net earnings
excluding depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, share-based
payments expense, interest, and taxes ("EBITDA") for the first two months of the
second quarter of 2014 to be between $19 million and $24 million. These
exceptional results would be considered significantly above management's
expectations as the impact of spring break-up in any given year is difficult to
predict. In addition, underlying market fundamentals, spending expectations by
producers, and future growth prospects are all trending above Q2 2013 levels,
and as a result management anticipates strong results for the month of June and
for the second quarter in total. This estimate is subject to completion of the
second quarter interim financial report and review by SECURE's auditors. SECURE
will release the second quarter interim report on August 12, 2014. 


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this document constitute "forward-looking
statements" and/or "forward-looking information" within the meaning of
applicable securities laws (collectively referred to as forward-looking
statements). When used in this document, the words "may", "would", "could",
"will", "intend", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect", and
similar expressions, as they relate to SECURE, or its management, are intended
to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current
views of SECURE with respect to future events and operating performance and
speak only as of the date of this document. In particular, this document
contains forward-looking statements pertaining to: anticipated EBITDA for the
first two months of the second quarter ended June 30, 2014; performance
expectations for the month of June and the second quarter ended June 30, 2014,
in total; general market conditions; activity levels in the oil and gas sector
including market fundamentals and drilling levels; demand for the Corporation's
services; expansion strategy; completion of facilities; the impact of new
facilities on the Corporation's financial and operational performance; and
acquisition strategy.


Forward-looking statements concerning expected operating and economic conditions
are based upon estimated results as well as the assumption that increases in
market activity and growth will be consistent with industry activity in Canada,
and the United States, and growth levels in similar phases of previous economic
cycles.


Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, should
not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not
necessarily be accurate indications of whether such results will be achieved.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these statements as a
number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the
results discussed in these forward-looking statements, including but not limited
to those factors referred to and under the heading "Business Risks" and under
the heading "Risk Factors" in the Corporation's Annual Information Form ("AIF")
for the year ended December 31, 2013. Although forward-looking statements
contained in this document are based upon what the Corporation believes are
reasonable assumptions, the Corporation cannot assure investors that actual
results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. The
forward-looking statements in this document are expressly qualified by this
cautionary statement. Unless otherwise required by law, SECURE does not intend,
or assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements.


Non-GAAP Measures

The Corporation uses accounting principles that are generally accepted in Canada
(the issuer's "GAAP"), which includes, International Financial Reporting
Standards ("IFRS"). In addition, this press release refers to the Non-GAAP
financial measure EBITDA. EBITDA is not a recognized measure under IFRS and does
not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. EBITDA as used by the
Corporation may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other
reporting issuers. See the management's discussion and analysis available at
www.sedar.com for a reconciliation of historical EBITDA to the equivalent IFRS
measure. Management believes that in addition to net earnings, EBITDA is a
useful supplemental measure as it provides an indication of the results
generated by the Corporation's principal business activities prior to
consideration of how those activities are financed or how the results are taxed.
EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of
performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
