This agreement marks a new working relationship between the two companies, which Plexus hopes to build further upon in the future. Plexus CEO Ben van Bilderbeek said, 'This contract expands the inventory of exploration wells that can be converted to subsea production, using our unique M2S conversion system. Plexus is developing the capability to become a turnkey supplier of the wellhead technology required to pre-drill and complete surface and subsea production systems. As a main supplier of exploration wellhead technology for jack-up rigs in the North Sea, Plexus is ready to respond to changes in the way the oil and gas industry operates, particularly bearing in mind the recent introduction of the new Corporate Manslaughter Act legislation. Plexus' technology has for a long time been focused on improving safety, whilst reducing complexity, improving seal technology, and saving rig-time. We are prepared to perform when operators seek to meet more stringent operating conditions.' * * ENDS * * For further information please visit www.posgrip.com or contact: Ben van Bilderbeek Plexus Holdings PLC Tel: 020 7589 8555 Graham Stevens Plexus Holdings PLC Tel: 020 7589 8555 Elizabeth Kennedy Brewin Dolphin Tel: 0141 221 7733 Ken Fleming Brewin Dolphin Tel: 0141 221 7733 Felicity Edwards St Brides Media & Finance Ltd Tel: 020 7236 1177 Isabel Crossley St Brides Media & Finance Ltd Tel: 020 7236 1177 Notes Plexus Holdings PLC Plexus, which began trading on AIM in December 2005, is an established oil and gas engineering, and services business based in Aberdeen, with an office in London and a presence in Houston, Texas.
