Ceiba Energy Services Provides Update on its Strategic Kaybob Facility and Second Quarter Volumes

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Aug. 3, 2016) - Ceiba Energy Services Inc. ("Ceiba" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CEB), a growing environmental fluids processing and disposal company, is pleased to provide an operational update on its new facility construction and a preliminary update on received volumes for the Company's second quarter.

The Company has initiated civil work for the Kaybob facility that will expand its western Alberta presence and attract new waste fluid volumes in areas less affected by the current downturn in commodity prices. The Kaybob facility will be the second deep well injection facility planned for commissioning in 2016 with the ability to handle higher margin Class 1B waste water streams. Strategically located in the Fox Creek area of Alberta, the facility is in close proximity to customers actively producing from and drilling in liquids-rich Montney and Duvernay formations.

In the second quarter of 2016, Ceiba received 100,000 m3 of fluid, a 39% volume increase compared to the first quarter of 2016, excluding Kinsella terminalling volumes. Volumes received in Q2 2016 increased 28% compared to the same quarter in 2015, excluding Kinsella, primarily as a result of the construction of three new facilities. The Athabasca facility, which opened as scheduled in the first quarter of the year, contributed to over 20% of the Company's disposal volumes in Q2.
