High Arctic Announces an Update on Activities in Papua New Guinea

CALGARY, Canada – July 21, 2021 – High Arctic Energy Services Inc. (TSX: HWO) (“High Arctic” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce that we have agreed to terms with a major multi-national customer in Papua New Guinea (“PNG”) to provide services in 2021 for the abandonment of a complex legacy exploration well, and the extension of its long-standing drilling services contracts. PNG Well Abandonment The well abandonment project is for a subsidiary of a major multi-national energy company. It requires deployment of the Company’s heli-portable Rig 115 as well as two 100 bed heli-portable camps accompanied by a suite of support equipment, personnel and services. Conclusion of the agreement is subject to obtaining Bank of Papua New Guinea and other customary approvals. In the near term, the Company plans to deploy the first camp and make ready Rig 115, a second camp and support equipment all of which is coming out of cold stack. Field operations are expected to commence during the fourth quarter of this year, following mobilization to the remote well site. Mike Maguire, Chief Executive Officer commented: “We are excited to be bringing people back to work in PNG and building on the investment we have made in our local workforce and in the preservation of our assets. This first post-COVID deployment follows extensive planning and preparation with our customer and positions High Arctic well to execute future drilling activity in the area.” Exercise of an Option to extend PNG Contracts Additionally, our longest-standing PNG customer has issued notice to High Arctic exercising an option to extend existing contracts to August 2022. CEO Mike Maguire stated “We are delighted with this re-affirmation of the value of our services to our key customer in PNG. The relationship is one of a symbiotic nature where both companies have enhanced the other over more than a decade.” Recent Developments in PNG The two sets of contracts follow a series of recent positive developments in PNG’s natural resources sector. In a statement last week, PNG Prime Minister James Marape indicated that terms have been agreed for the Pasca-A gas condensate development and, that the state negotiating team will be commencing talks with PNG-LNG partners later this month on terms for the P’nyang gas field development. CEO Mike Maguire: “For High Arctic, these developments reinforce our optimism for PNG as momentum for meaningful drilling activity continues to build in the country.” About High Arctic High Arctic’s principal focus is to provide drilling and specialized well completion services, equipment rentals and other services to the oil and gas industry. High Arctic is a market leader providing drilling and specialized well completion services and supplies rig matting, camps and drilling support equipment on a rental basis in Papua New Guinea. The western Canadian operation provides well servicing, well abandonment, snubbing and nitrogen services and equipment on a rental basis to a large number of exploration and production companies.

High Arctic Announces 2021 First Quarter Financial and Operating Results

High Arctic Announces 2021 First Quarter Financial and Operating Results  CALGARY, Canada – May 13, 2021 – High Arctic Energy Services Inc. (TSX: HWO) (the “Corporation” or “High Arctic”) released its’ first quarter results today. Mike Maguire, Chief Executive Officer commented: “We navigated the difficult past twelve months with a keen focus on safe and effective operations and maintaining our reputation for superior quality service. High Arctic is emerging from the global crisis with a strong balance sheet and is positioned well to ride the improved market conditions in 2021.  With oil and gas prices having sustained a return to pre-pandemic levels, our customer base is considering opportunities to expand their business activities. Sequential quarterly increases in utilization of our services in Canada has been achieved and I believe we are well placed for high growth in a significantly stronger Canadian market.   In PNG a Covid-19 spike put a stop to almost all activities during the quarter, resulting in a short-term drain on our earnings as we continued to maintain operational readiness.  We expect to benefit from this readiness later in 2021 as government and industry covid-19 prevention strategies take hold, travel restrictions are lessoned and business activities increase. In addition, the Papua LNG partners recently announced remobilization to complete project pre-feed which is a key step on the pathway to a final investment decision.  I believe that our commitment to PNG will, in time, provide significant upside for our shareholders.” HIGHLIGHTS The following highlights the Corporation’s results for Q1-2021: First quarter revenue of $17.8 million, EBITDA of $1.2 million, compared to $39.6 million and $5.5 million respectively in Q1-2020 and a slight improvement over Q4-2020 with $16.6 million and $0.7 million respectively. Total Energies SA recently announced its intention to remobilize teams and resources needed to proceed with development of the Papua LNG project. Balance sheet and liquidity remains strong with cash of $21.0 million, no long-term debt and liquidity that includes an undrawn $45.0 million revolving loan facility. Patent pending on a new low emission electric service rig design. The Corporation’s strategic priorities for 2021 include: Safety excellence and focus on quality service delivery through consistent global standards; Cost control focused on operating cash flow, while balancing strategic priorities to fuel growth; The pursuit of opportunities that secure the Corporation’s future as a lower emissions energy services provider; Growth and divestiture opportunities that enhance shareholder value, align with our core service offerings, and are located in well understood markets; and Disciplined working capital management and capital stewardship to improve returns for shareholders that potentially include dividends and common share buybacks. For more than a year High Arctic has been internally progressing work on a practical process to convert existing Concord well servicing rigs to a reliable, efficient and inexpensive electric drive.  We are pleased to announce that patent is pending on the design and we plan to identify industry partners to further test the technology at a pilot site in 2021.  We see tremendous opportunity for the deployment of this technology in Western Canada, particularly in thermal well applications where existing supply of electrical power of adequate capacity is already available.  Crucially at this stage of development the upgraded service rig maintains its ability to self-propel down the highway.  The upgrade is estimated to reduce the Co2 emissions of a well service rig over the well-bore by more than 35% compared to current diesel-powered rigs. ——————– The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements (“Financial Statements”) and management discussion & analysis (“MD&A”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 will be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, and on High Arctic’s website at www.haes.ca.

The prompt action we took in March 2020 to restructure our management and markedly reduce expenditures has ensured that we are financially positioned to take advantage of this increased demand. The PNG parliament enacted into legislation the key elements of the Papua LNG Gas Agreement and signed a Fiscal Stability Agreement with the project partners that cleared the path forward for the Papua LNG project in the near future.
