GBP600,000 Gaz de France Egypt
Contract Win
Plexus Holdings PLC, the AIM listed oil and gas engineering services business
which supplies wellhead and mudline suspension equipment for exploration and
production applications, has been awarded, against a competitive tender among
international suppliers, a GBP600,000 contract with GDF SUEZ Egypt, a leading
oil and gas company, to supply its proprietary POS-GRIP wellhead systems for
exploration activities in the Egyptian region of the Mediterranean Sea. The
contract, which may be extended, is subject to completion of relevant terms,
with revenues anticipated to commence in October 2009.
GDF SUEZ Egypt will use Plexus' POS-GRIP 15,000 psi High Pressure wellhead and
standard 10,000 psi POS-GRIP wellhead systems with mudline casing support and
services at two oil and gas exploration wells in the Mediterranean Sea. This
contract marks a strengthening of the working relationship between the two
companies; in October 2007 Plexus signed its first agreement with Gaz de France
Britain Ltd to supply wellhead systems which were used for exploration
activities in the North Sea. Furthermore, this is the Company's third customer
in Egypt, as it builds its position as a wellhead supplier of choice within the
North African region.
Plexus CEO Ben van Bilderbeek said, "I am naturally delighted with the inroads
we are making in becoming a known supplier of specialist wellheads in the North
African region. This is yet another contract win for Plexus in Egypt and follows
closely on the heels of the recent GBP1.6 million contract extension with BP
Egypt. It demonstrates that our drive into the North African markets is making
strong progress and we are confident that similar contracts will follow in the
future."

Notes
Plexus Holdings PLC
Plexus, which began trading on AIM in December 2005, is an established oil and
gas engineering and services business which supplies wellhead and mudline
suspension equipment for exploration and production applications based in
Aberdeen, with an office in London, Cairo, Kuala Lumpur and a presence in
Houston, Texas. It has developed and patented a method of engineering for oil
and gas field wellheads and connectors, POS-GRIP, which involves deforming one
tubular member against another to effect gripping and sealing.
POS-GRIP wellhead systems have to date been used or selected to be used in over
140 oil and gas wells by international companies including BHP Billiton, BG
International, BP, Brunei Shell Petroleum, Centrica, ConocoPhillips, Dubai
Petroleum, GDF SUEZ, Global Santa Fe, Maersk, Petro-Canada Trinidad & Tobago,
RWE, Repsol, StatoilHydro, Silverstone Energy, Talisman Energy, Tullow Oil, and
Wintershall.
The Company plans to accelerate the roll out of POS-GRIP technology as a
superior alternative to current wellhead technology. It has particular
advantages in HP/HT and X-HP-HT oil and gas environments for which there is
increasing demand throughout the world. The Company's long-term goal is to
develop POS-GRIP technology as the future industry standard for wellhead design.
This objective includes the distribution of POS-GRIP technology through
licensees to maximise market penetration.
