Divergent Energy Services Corp.: Release of Interim Results and Operations Update

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Aug. 28, 2014) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Divergent Energy Services Corp. (TSX VENTURE:DVG) (the "Corporation") has released its financial results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and provides the following Operations and Corporate update.

OPERATIONS UPDATE

ARTIFICIAL LIFT

The Corporation is pleased to announce that five Linear Electric Submersible Motors are assembled, tested, prepared for shipment and are being scheduled for immediate delivery to Canada. The Corporation's Vice President of Product Development travelled to the manufacturer's factory in China to witness the final assembly, testing, and packaging. In addition, we have hired a senior Artificial Lift expert as the Corporation's Business Development Manager and to lead the implementation and growth of this new product line. The motors are intended to resolve the ongoing issues of rod and tubing wear in conventional oil wells utilizing conventional rod pump technology by eliminating the rod string and pump jack.

Our conventional submersible pump sales continued to experience solid growth, posting improved year-over-year revenues due to increased market share in Wyoming. Management expects continued organic growth from this division as it continues to demonstrate a high quality of service and products.

The submersible electric motor distribution network added modest revenue growth in the quarter, largely due to corporate focus on finalizing the Linear Motors which unfortunately diverted attention from conventional sales. Management will continue to focus on expanding its sales into Canada and through existing relationships within the United States.

CONSTRUCTION

The large projects in the Terra region that had been suspended have been reinstated by Pemex and work is expected to commence immediately following an inspection of the area. The inspection is intended to confirm the status of the area and confirm any adverse effects from weather and any other noticeable changes to the sites. The market continues to suggest that there is a solid inventory of projects in which to engage.

PIPE SALES & INSTALLATION

The Mexican national oil company Pemex has issued tenders for flexible pipe work in Northern Mexico. To date, none of the tenders submitted by the Corporation have been fully analyzed by Pemex and the award dates are yet uncertain. Management will provide updates on the tenders as the awards become known.

CORPORATE

The Corporation's previously announced USD $17.5 million revolving line of credit continues to make progress towards a closing date. The two party's legal counsels continue to work towards satisfying the needs of both parties including the subordination of the existing debentures.

The Corporation's new website is near completion and expected to launch very soon. The launch was delayed by the limited resources within the organization to dedicate to the complete re-write of content. Management anticipates that visitors to the new site will be impressed with the ease of navigation and access to information. The website will continue to expand and grow with the Corporation and as new product manuals and brochures are developed.

The Corporation's complete set of June 30, 2014 financial statements and corresponding management's discussion and analysis have been filed on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.
