The Plexus Group is an established oil and gas engineering, and service business based in Aberdeen, with an office in London and a presence in Houston, Texas through PDT. Plexus began trading on AIM in December 2005. The Plexus Group has developed and patented a method of engineering for oil and gas field wellheads and connectors, named POS GRIP™, which involves deforming one tubular member against another to effect gripping and sealing.
POS-GRIP technology was invented by the Plexus Group's founder, Ben van Bilderbeek, an accomplished engineer and successful entrepreneur with over 30 years' industry experience, and a track record of developing and commercialising specialised wellhead and drilling equipment.
The Directors believe that by using POS-GRIP technology in wellhead systems a number of significant advantages over existing 'slip and seal' and 'mandrel hanger' wellhead technologies may be offered which can include, depending on application:
Enhanced safety
Larger metal to metal seal areas
Virtual elimination of movement between the sealing parts
Fewer components
Simplified design and assembly
Enhanced corrosion resistance
Simpler to manufacture
Reduced installation cost
Lower unit cost
Increased reliability
As oil and gas exploration and production shifts to more extreme operational environments in response to increasing demand, the Directors recognise that there is a significant marketing opportunity in unconventional fields. They believe that the POS GRIP wellhead technology is ideally suited to enable some of the more extreme fields to be commercially viable.
Notwithstanding what the Directors perceive as the clear advantages of POS-GRIP technology in niche markets, which can generate high operating margins, the Directors consider that the greatest commercial potential for POS-GRIP technology is in the mainstream production wellhead market. In order to exploit this market, the Company recently introduced a further proprietary POS-GRIP product line known as the HG wellhead (the patent application for which is at the publication stage). The current worldwide market for wellheads and x-mas trees is estimated by the Directors to be in excess of US$2 billion per annum.
POS-GRIP wellhead systems have been used in more than 100 oil and gas wells to date by international customers and end users including, BP, Brunei Shell Petroleum, Maersk, Petro-Canada Trinidad and Tobago, ConocoPhillips, BHP Billiton, Talisman Energy, Tullow Oil, Global Santa Fe, Gaz de France and Wintershall. In February 2004, BP contracted to purchase POS-GRIP gas platform production wellhead systems for the US$4.1 billion Shah Deniz development, one of the major gas fields in the Caspian Sea. Between 2005 and the end of 2008, the Directors estimate that this relationship has and will generate revenues in excess of £6.5 million for the Group.
The Directors believe that its admission to AIM and the resulting raised profile, combined with access to additional working capital facilities, will accelerate the roll out of POS-GRIP technology as a superior alternative to current wellhead technology. It has particular advantages in High Pressure / High Temperature (HP/HT) 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. The Directors believe that over time the Plexus Group can become a member of the ‘first tier' of global wellhead systems suppliers.

Plexus Holdings (LON:POS)
Never a stock to let you down on the contracts front, Plexus has announced a three year renewal of its contract in the Dutch North Sea with Wintershall. A long time favourite services play I remain 100% convinced, even if the shares have been a bit pedestrian since the sharp rally last summer. To be fair that rally came after a period when a prolonged drift had put the rather exotic rating in some question, order has since been restored. The rating is high, mainly down to a significant lack of free float but I don’t expect big Ben to start selling now, he’s never offered me any shares in the past and if you can bear it you should look away from the multiple and lock away this high quality stock.

Whilst on the subject of favourite stocks I am going to have another go at getting you to buy a few of these, helped by another order yesterday, this time a first timer for Maersk in the Danish North Sea. Just like a metronome, the orders come through to Plexus with almost monotonous regularity and build the order book and I’m sure that there is more to come. I always say that this is a service company that you cant judge on traditional valuation metrics otherwise you would never have bought a share but those who have taken the plunge have made out like bandits. Long term readers will know that I am a big chart watcher and you will share my sadness that so far, this new website is unable to put charts into the format, I am determined to make it work one way or another but in the meantime go find a chart, it will show that the price is knocking on the 294p all time high and should it go through that, then the world is, as they say, your lobster…

3Yr Contract with Leading Oil Services Company AGR

28 February 2014
Plexus Holdings PLC ('Plexus' or 'the Company')
New 3Yr Contract with Leading Oil Services Company AGR for POS-GRIP Wellhead Technology with an Initial Order in West Africa
Plexus Holdings PLC, the AIM quoted oil and gas engineering services business and owner of the proprietary POS-GRIP® friction-grip method of wellhead engineering, known for its safety, time and cost saving capabilities, announces it has agreed a new three year contact ('the Contract') with leading drilling and engineering company AGR Well Management Limited ('AGR'). Under the Contract, Plexus will supply both its standard pressure and High Temperature/ High Pressure ('HPHT') POS-GRIP® wellhead technology and mudline services to AGR for oil and gas exploration activities which it carries out on behalf of its customer base of blue chip oil and gas companies.
Plexus is further pleased to announce that it has already received a first order under the new Contract worth an estimated £400,000 to supply its 10,000psi POS-GRIP equipment for an exploration well in Guinea Bissau, West Africa which AGR will drill on behalf of private Swedish operator Svenska Petroleum Exploration AB ('Svenska'). This will be the first time that a POS-GRIP High Temperature ('HT') annular seal, which is generally used in HPHT systems, is utilised in a standard pressure system, and the selection of Plexus' POS-GRIP technology demonstrates how operators are increasingly electing to use best in class equipment in standard operating environments. Revenues from this well order are expected to commence calendar Q1 2014.
Plexus CEO Ben van Bilderbeek said, "We are delighted to be working with AGR again. As AGR undertakes drilling activity for blue chip oil and gas operators, a number of which have to date not used Plexus' wellhead equipment, we view this Contract as an excellent opportunity to introduce the significant performance, safety and cost benefits of our best in class POS-GRIP wellhead equipment to a wider customer base. The Svenska well order, the first under the Contract with AGR provides a readymade example. Not only is Svenska a new end user of Plexus' equipment, this well also provides a foothold in a new country for us, Guinea Bissau, and in the process further strengthens our position in West Africa, where we have previously worked in Cameroon.
"We are therefore hopeful that the new Contract with AGR will lead to other opportunities, namely the potential requirement for additional equipment and the introduction to other operators in the region. Our focus remains on building Plexus' reputation within the oil and gas industry as a supplier of best in class equipment, in terms of operational performance and safety. In this respect we continue to gain traction both with new customers and in new territories."

The value of the order is estimated at approximately £900,000 with revenues expected to commence in April 2014.
Under the terms of the PO, which is expected to have a duration of 100 days, Plexus will supply its 18-3/4" adjustable surface wellhead and mudline systems for use on the Pegasus West appraisal well. Plexus' wellhead equipment was selected for Pegasus West as it provides a metal to metal annular seal which was a key requirement of Centrica. Plexus has a long standing relationship with Centrica having provided the operator with equipment for use on its first well drilled offshore Norway.
Plexus CEO Ben Van Bilderbeek said, "Today's latest order from Centrica brings the total number of orders we have announced with leading blue chip operators, including GDF Suez, Maersk and Wintershall, so far in 2014 to five. We view this excellent start to the current calendar year as further evidence that our best in class wellhead equipment in terms of performance, safety and reliability is increasingly gaining traction among leading operators. With POS-GRIP technology delivering significant time and operational cost savings to operators, and with new initiatives such as the establishment of a sales and service hub in Singapore to support our expansion into Asian markets, we believe we will continue to win business from both new and existing customers, as we look to build market share and generate shareholder value."

£0.9m Well Order Signed With Centrica Energy Norway
Plexus Holdings PLC, the AIM quoted oil and gas engineering services business and owner of the proprietary POS-GRIP® friction-grip method of wellhead engineering, known for its safety, time and cost saving capabilities, announces that it has secured a new well order to supply its POS-GRIP surface exploration wellhead equipment and services under an existing contract with leading oil and gas company Centrica Energy Norway ('Centrica'). The value of the order is estimated at approximately £900,000 with revenues expected to commence in April 2014.
Plexus is supplying its POS-GRIP 18-3/4" Surface Wellhead System for a low pressure (5,000 psi) exploration well and mudline suspension system. The new well order, for oil exploration activities offshore Norway, is the Company's third project with Centrica under its existing contract as announced on 7 October 2013. This contract was recently extended to 28 February 2015, and today's well order is the first under the extension.
Plexus CEO Ben Van Bilderbeek said, "We are delighted to have secured another new wellhead order in the Norwegian North Sea with Centrica with whom we have a solid working relationship. The latest win further highlights the support that our POS-GRIP technology has with leading oil and gas majors for its safety, time and cost saving capabilities as the wider industry increasingly demands best in class equipment for all drilling activities.
"As we continue to maintain a dominant market presence in the North Sea with contracts in place such as ours with Centrica, recent recommendations made in Sir Ian Wood's 'UKCS Maximising Recovery Review' in February of this year in relation to the UKCS come as welcome news. The report emphasised the importance of making more of the UK's HP/HT resource potential by deploying the best and most cost effective technology and leveraging the capabilities of the UK's own oil and gas supply chain. It was even more welcome to see incentives such as the proposed HP/HT allowance included in the recent UK Budget which means that Plexus will be well placed to take advantage of any increase in activity in the UKCS as a result of these Government initiatives.
"In addition, we are also committed to extending our global footprint. With new initiatives underway such as establishing a sales and service hub in Singapore to support our expansion into Asian markets, we believe we are well placed to deliver on our objectives and continue to win business for the rental of our POS-GRIP wellhead technology from both existing and new customers in the North Sea and further afield."

New Customer SCEPCO POS-GRIP Rental Contract Win
Plexus Holdings PLC, the AIM quoted oil and gas engineering services business and owner of the proprietary POS-GRIP® friction-grip method of wellhead engineering, known for its safety, time and cost saving capabilities, announces it has received a Letter of Award for its first contract with Shell China Exploration and Production Company Limited (SCEPCO), a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell plc ('Shell'). The contract, which is subject to finalisation of terms, is for the supply of 15,000psi high pressure high temperature ('HP/HT') POS-GRIP wellhead technology with mudline casing support and associated services, initially for one well exploring for gas offshore Hainan Island, China. Revenues from this contract are expected to commence during the next financial year.
This is Plexus' first contract with SCEPCO which was secured through Plexus' Singapore subsidiary, and also the first to be awarded in the region which marks a significant step for the Company as it continues to expand its global reach. In the past Plexus has secured contracts with other subsidiaries of Shell, and therefore the addition of SCEPCO to its client base, particularly in Asia, is welcomed.
Plexus' CEO Ben Van Bilderbeek said, "This is a breakthrough contract for Plexus Singapore, one which will see us supply our proven wellhead equipment for the first time to an established international operator in this important new country. Though we haven't previously worked with SCEPCO, we have secured and fulfilled contracts with other Shell subsidiaries in other parts of the world. This contract is particularly exciting to us as it supports our strategic decision to establish and support an Asian sales and service hub following the recent establishment of Plexus subsidiaries in Malaysia and Singapore. This initiative is in line with our strategy to expand beyond the North Sea where we have a dominant market share supplying HP/HT equipment, as we continue to pursue our goal of establishing Plexus as a leading global supplier to the oil and gas industry."

Secured Second Well Contract with Maersk Oil for £1.4M
Plexus Holdings PLC, the AIM quoted oil and gas engineering services business and owner of the proprietary POS-GRIP® friction-grip method of wellhead engineering, known for its safety, time and cost saving capabilities, announces that further to the Company's first time contract win with Maersk Oil Danish Business Unit totalling £1.1million announced on 12 February 2014, the option granted under the contract has now been converted to a firm order to supply Maersk Oil Danish Business Unit its POS-GRIP wellhead system and mudline services for an additional well. The value of the additional order is estimated at approximately £1.4 million with revenues expected to commence in October 2014.
Under the terms of the option, Plexus will supply its 18-3/4" POS-GRIP 15,000psi surface wellhead and mudline systems for use on a standard pressure well for exploration activities in the central Danish North Sea.
Plexus' CEO Ben Van Bilderbeek said, "We are delighted to have secured this second well order with Maersk Oil's Danish Business Unit which I believe further highlights the commercial strength of our POS-GRIP wellhead best in class technology for both standard and more challenging high pressure/high temperature exploration activities.
"As we continue to strengthen our foothold in the North Sea market with contract wins such as these, we are also highly committed to expanding both our geographic and application reach. This is evidenced by a number of high profile contracts this year which has seen us win new business in China, utilising our new Singapore and Malaysian hubs, Northern Africa and West Africa. In addition, our expansion into subsea is progressing well. Our pioneering joint industry project aimed at developing a new and safer subsea wellhead to address key technical issues and requirements highlighted by the Gulf of Mexico incident in 2010, recently gained its eighth major oil and gas company member. The final design stage is nearing completion and manufacturing of test fixtures is underway with full system testing expected to be completed in Q3 2014. From here the JIP will move to building the prototype and then a first time installation. We look forward to updating shareholders on our progress as we build Plexus into the wellhead provider of choice and necessity across exploration, production and subsea applications."

Under the terms of the contract, which is expected to have a duration of 60 days, Plexus will supply its 20" x 12-3/8" adjustable surface wellhead and mudline systems for use on the Grove Deep 49/10a-GD. Plexus has a long standing relationship with Centrica having provided the operator with equipment for use on a number of exploration and appraisal wells in the North Sea including the recent Grove Infill and Pegasus West wells.
Plexus CEO Ben Van Bilderbeek said, "It has always been our belief that once an operator places an initial order for our best in class wellhead equipment, the superior qualities of our POS-GRIP® technology in terms of performance, reliability and safety would lead to follow-up work, as today's contract with Centrica shows. Over the years we have now supplied Centrica with our wellhead equipment for a range of wells operating in conditions ranging from standard pressure to high pressure/ high temperature environments.
"At a time when operators are exploring for hydrocarbons in increasingly difficult conditions, while having to meet higher regulatory safety parameters on the one hand, and the need to control costs on the other, we strongly believe Plexus' equipment resonates with the times as we can deliver on both these objectives. We are therefore highly confident that the momentum behind our core wellhead rental business will be maintained, as more and more operators experience for themselves the unique operational and cost benefits Plexus' wellhead equipment offers."
