THIS PRESS RELEASE IS NOT TO BE DISTRIBUTED TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR
DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION
MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAW.


Phoenix Oilfield Hauling Inc., ("Phoenix" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PHN), a
leading provider of hauling services and equipment rentals to the energy
industry, today announced that it has closed approximately $48 million in
financings with PNC, Werklund Capital Corporation ("WCC") and members of the
Company's senior management team.


"In partnership with PNC and Werklund Capital we have been able to substantially
strengthen our balance sheet and reduce our cost of capital," said Bharat
Mahajan, Vice President, Finance and CFO of Phoenix. "With this stronger
foundation in place, we have greater flexibility to deploy capital as
opportunities and overriding market conditions dictate and can now focus on
executing our ambitious growth plans for 2012 and beyond."


The Company intends to use the financing to repay certain existing bank
borrowings, restructure its balance sheet, and to grow its existing operations
in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and the eastern and southern U.S.
while also establishing new operations in the southern U.S. The announced
financing is also at rates significantly lower than its previous operating
facility and as such will decrease the Company's interest and financing costs
going forward.


The Company's financing with PNC Bank Canada Branch the name under which PNC
Bank, N.A., a member of the PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., does business in
Canada("PNC") is a senior credit facility secured by a general security
agreement with a first charge on all the Company's assets. This facility
includes a current operating facility of $35 million and an accordion feature
for $5 million which may be accessed should the Company's operations demand
("PNC Facility"). The PNC Facility bears interest at prime plus 1.25% per annum
plus an unused facility fee of 0.25% per annum. The PNC Facility is due on
January 1, 2015. There are no principal payments required on this facility until
the due date.


Phoenix also closed its previously announced equity and convertible debenture
financing with WCC for gross proceeds of $7.7 million (the "WCC Transaction").
The Company issued 1,241,667 common shares to WCC at a price of $2.40 per share
with resulting proceeds of approximately $3.0 million in the capital of the
Company (the "Common Shares"). Further, the Company entered into a convertible
debenture with WCC for $4.7 million (the "Convertible Debenture"). The
Convertible Debenture is due on December 13, 2014, bears interest at 4% per
annum, payable quarterly, and is convertible into 1,850,980 Common Shares of the
Company at a price of $2.55 per share. There are no principal payments required
on the Convertible Debenture until the due date. WCC, in its sole discretion,
has the right to convert, sell or syndicate all or a portion of the Convertible
Debenture. In the event of full conversion of the Convertible Debenture, the
holder thereof will have the right to appoint one nominee to the board of
directors of the Corporation (the "Board"). The Convertible Debenture will be
secured by way of a general security interest against all present and
subsequently acquired property of the Company and will be subordinate to the
interests of the Company's senior lenders. The Common Shares and Convertible
Debenture issued pursuant to the WCC Transaction will be subject to a statutory
four month hold. WCC will receive a work fee of $115,500 in connection with this
transaction.


WCC is a related party of Phoenix because David Werklund, the principal of WCC,
is a director and interim President and Chief Executive Officer of Phoenix. WCC
is also a major shareholder of Phoenix. Accordingly, Phoenix formed a special
committee of the Board (the "Special Committee"), comprised of independent
directors for the purpose of reviewing the WCC Transaction. The Special
Committee retained Raymond James Ltd. ("RJ") as its financial advisor for the
WCC Transaction. RJ has provided an opinion to the Special Committee confirming
that the WCC Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the
shareholders (other than WCC) of Phoenix. Based upon the recommendation of the
Special Committee, the Board of Directors unanimously determined that the WCC
Transaction was in the best interests of the Company.


"We continue to see strong growth opportunities for Phoenix covering well
established operating areas in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, as well
as emerging resource plays in the United States," said Mr. David Werklund,
Executive Chairman of WCC. "Phoenix's evolving business and growing portfolio of
opportunities offers solid potential returns and as a result we are
substantially increasing our investment in the Company." 


The Company also closed a portion of its previously announced private placement
with members of its senior management team raising an additional $240,000
through the issuance of 100,000 Common Shares at a price of $2.40 per share. The
Common Shares issued pursuant to the management private placement will be
subject to a statutory four month hold period. The Company may close up to an
additional 150,000 Common Shares at a price of $2.40 per share for additional
gross proceeds of up to $360,000 in a private placement with management as
permitted by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").
