Total Energy Services Inc. Increases 2013 Capital Expenditure Budget

Total Energy Services Inc. ("Total") (TSX:TOT) announces that it has increased
its 2013 capital expenditure budget by $18.5 million to $114.3 million. This
increase is directed towards continued expansion of Total's natural gas
compression rental fleet, with $38.5 million now budgeted for expansion of the
compression rental fleet in 2013.


A significant portion of the increased demand for compression rental equipment
has arisen from recent compression sales orders being converted to long term
rentals. Specifically, $20.4 million of fabrication sales (for compression
packages totaling 20,160 horsepower) that were received prior to September 30,
2013 and included in the September 30, 2013 compression fabrication sales
backlog of $46.2 million have been converted to 48 month rentals. It is expected
that all such rental units will be delivered by the end of the first quarter of
2014.


The addition of 20,160 horsepower of rental compression represents a 56%
increase to the 35,700 horsepower of compression on rent at September 30, 2013.


With approximately $10.0 million of compression sales orders received subsequent
to September 30, 2013, after excluding the $20.4 million of compression sales
converted to rentals, Total's compression sales backlog currently stands at
approximately $35.5 million. 


Total is a growth oriented energy services corporation involved in contract
drilling services, rentals and transportation services and the fabrication,
sale, rental and servicing of natural gas compression equipment. The common
shares of Total are listed and trade on the TSX under the symbol "TOT".
