About C.A.T. oil AG:

C.A.T. oil AG is one of the leading independent oil and gas field
service contractors in Russia and Kazakhstan and is listed on the
Frankfurt Stock Exchange (SDAX). C.A.T. oil provides a range of high
quality services, which enable oil and gas producers to extend
lifecycle of their fields or bring yet unexploited oil and gas
reserves to production. Since its foundation in 1991 in Celle,
Germany, C.A.T. oil has built up a leading hydraulic fracturing
service, a very effective method of well stimulation by cracking rock
formations with pressurized fluids, in Russia and Kazakhstan.
Following its IPO in 2006, the Company developed a second core
service of sidetrack drilling in 2006-08 and has established a strong
presence in Russia's sidetrack drilling market. Sidetrack drilling is
a term used to describe drilling of a new wellbore from the upper
section of an existing well. In 2011-12, the Company launched the
next phase of its growth and diversification strategy and set up high
class drilling operations as a third core service offering. High
class drilling is the classical technology of drilling vertical,
inclined and horizontal wells for extraction of oil and gas. In
total, the Company has already invested more than EUR 450 million in
growth and diversification since its IPO in 2006. Following the
successful set up of high class drilling in 2011-12, C.A.T. oil
introduced its new segment reporting in 2013 clustering its
activities in "Well Services" (fracturing, cementing and completion
operations) and "Drilling, Sidetracking and IPM (Integrated Project
Management)". C.A.T. oil's customer base includes the leading Russian
and Kazakh oil and gas pro-ducers such as Rosneft, Lukoil, Gazprom
Neft, Tomskneft VNK, Slavneft, Russneft and KazMunaiGaz. The Company
has long-standing relationships with these customers and has been a
reliable service provider since its market entrance in the early
nineties. C.A.T. oil has its headquarters in Vienna. The Company's 9M
2014 weighted average headcount stood at 2,920 people, most of which
are based in Russia and Kazakhstan.
