Notes to Editors:
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,
Red Sea Petroleum Operating Company, Repsol, RWE, Shell Egypt, 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 (High Pressure/High Temperature) and X-HP-HT (Extreme High
Pressure/High Temperature) 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.
