Ceiba Energy Services Inc. Announces Closing of Acquisition of Cam-Star Resources (1990 Ltd.)

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE U.S. 

Ceiba Energy Services Inc. ("Ceiba" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CEB) is
pleased to announce it has completed its previously announced acquisition of all
of the issued and outstanding shares of Cam-Star Resources (1990) Ltd.
("Cam-Star") on February 1, 2014, for a purchase price of $2.5 million cash (the
"Acquisition"), subject to normal post-closing adjustments. The Acquisition was
funded with the net proceeds of the Company's recent $2.6 million equity unit
financing. 


Summary of the Acquisition 

Cam-Star is a privately owned operator of water disposal facilities in Central
Alberta. It has three licensed Class II operating disposal wells and associated
equipment and one licensed, suspended disposal well. The operating disposal
wells have a total surface storage capacity of approximately 1700 m3 and a daily
injection capacity of 1000 m3 (6,200 bbls). Two of the operating disposal wells
are located near Camrose, Alberta, 70 km south east of Edmonton and 80 km west
of Ceiba's Kinsella terminal and have been operating for over ten years. The
third operating disposal well is near Ponoka, Alberta approximately 100km south
of Edmonton and has been in operation for one year. 


Strategic Rationale 



--  The Acquisition is expected to provide Adjusted EBITDA of approximately
    $450,000 for 2014. Management believes that there is significant
    potential to increase future revenues through focused marketing efforts
    and operational enhancements. 
--  There are over 20,000 producing wells within 100 km radius of Cam-Star's
    operating disposal wells. 
--  With the completion of the Acquisition, Ceiba has established a network
    of six operating sites from Grande Prairie southeast to Kinsella and
    south to Ponoka.



"We are pleased to have closed this Acquisition," said Ian Simister, President.
"This is another significant step forward in Ceiba's strategic plan to provide
our customers with disposal options where they need it most, as we continue to
build our business both with organic projects like Chamberlain and acquisitions
like Cam-Star."


The Acquisition remains subject to final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.

Future Plans and Outlook

In addition to completion of the Acquisition, the Company remains focused on its
capital and growth plans for 2014. Ceiba expects that these plans will include
expanding services at the Silver Valley facility as well as initiating
wastewater disposal services at its Athabasca site. The Company continues to
evaluate and seek additional acquisition and expansion opportunities.
