Plexus Holdings PLC ('Plexus' or 'the Company')
$1m USD Contract Win with Vantage Drilling for First Time Supply
of POS-GRIP Wellhead Equipment to Major Malaysian Oil and Gas
Operator
Plexus Holdings PLC, the AIM quoted oil and gas engineering
services business and owner of the proprietary POS-GRIP(R)
friction-grip method of wellhead engineering, has entered into an
agreement with Vantage Drilling Company, Inc, an offshore drilling
contractor, to provide, for the first time, a major Malaysian
national oil and gas operator with its High Pressure/ High
Temperature ('HP/HT') POS-GRIP wellhead equipment for oil and gas
exploration activities offshore Sarawak, East Malaysia. The
contract will be for one well with a value of approximately US$1
million, with revenues commencing in November 2011.
Plexus has a sales and service base in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia,
which the Company utilises to promote its POS-GRIP equipment and
services in the South East Asian markets. This contract win is the
first working agreement between the three parties and the Company
hopes to build upon this in the future to strengthen its presence
in the region.
Plexus' CEO Ben Van Bilderbeek said, "This contract win further
extends our geographic footprint within the South East Asian
market, a region which has an established oil and gas industry
which is expected to substantially grow due to the number of new
platforms being built over the next five years. Due to the presence
of our own service office in Malaysia, we were able to provide a
responsive and efficient response to the major Malaysian oil and
gas operator requirement through Vantage Drilling, and in turn won
the contract for the supply of our wellhead equipment. In this
vein, we are actively marketing the Company and our wellhead
technology and services in the region and hope to build upon this
contract success."

Notes to Editors:
Plexus Holdings PLC, which began trading on AIM in December
2005, is an oil and gas engineering and services business, which
supplies wellhead and mudline suspension equipment for exploration
and production applications. Based in Aberdeen, with offices in
London, Cairo, Kuala Lumpur and a presence in Houston, Texas, it
has developed and patented a friction-grip method of engineering
for oil and gas field wellheads and connectors, POS-GRIP(R), which
involves deforming one tubular member against another to effect
gripping and sealing.
The Company plans to accelerate the roll out of POS-GRIP
wellhead equipment as a superior alternative to current technology
and for it to become the future industry standard for wellhead
design. In particular, the technology has advantages in High
Pressure/High Temperature (HP/HT) and Extreme HP/HT (X-HP/HT) oil
and gas environments, for which there is growing global demand and
where Plexus is being increasingly recognised as the supplier of
choice. Importantly, the Company is focussed on extending its
proprietary technology into an increasing number of subsea
applications. In line with this, in March 2011 the Company launched
an initiative to develop a new subsea wellhead design, HGSS(TM),
utilising its friction-grip technology in collaboration with key
oil and gas operators and service companies. The HGSS subsea
wellhead design will include a combination of key features never
before seen in a subsea wellhead which include being rated to
15,000 psi, 4,000,000 pounds of 'instant' casing lockdown capacity,
annulus pressure monitoring and access for 'bleed off' capability
to address sustained casing pressure ('SCP') issues which are
recognised by the API as a serious industry problem, and rigid
metal annular seal technology qualified to match the performance of
premium casing. Field trials of HGSS are targeted for deployment Q3
2012.
To date, POS-GRIP wellhead systems have been used or selected to
be used in over 150 oil and gas wells by international companies
including Apache Energy Australia, BHP Billiton, BG International,
Bowleven plc, BP, Brunei Shell Petroleum, Cairn Energy, Centrica,
ConocoPhillips, Dana Petroleum, Dubai Petroleum, GDF SUEZ, Global
Santa Fe, Maersk, Niko Resources, Petro-Canada Trinidad &
Tobago, Red Sea Petroleum Operating Company, Repsol, RWE, Senergy
Limited, Shell Egypt, StatoilHydro, Silverstone Energy, Talisman
Energy, Tullow Oil, and Wintershall.
