ENSERVCO Announces Appointment of Ian Dickinson as President and Chief Executive Officer, Replacing Retiring Rick Kasch

DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - May 10, 2017) - ENSERVCO Corporation (NYSE MKT: ENSV), a diversified national provider of well-site services to the domestic onshore conventional and unconventional oil and gas industries, today announced the appointment of Ian Dickinson as president, CEO and a member of the Board of Directors. Dickinson succeeds Rick Kasch, who is retiring from his positions as president, CEO and board member.

Dickinson is a well-rounded senior executive who brings a strong track record in the areas of private equity, oilfield service equipment, M&A and finance. He was previously president and CEO of Premier Oilfield Equipment, where he expanded the geographic reach and product offerings of the business via strategic partnerships and strong relationships with oil and gas exploration and production companies throughout the U.S. He is a former partner with Caddis Capital Investments, a private equity firm where he had asset management responsibilities, including acquisitions, asset optimization and divestitures. Prior assignments include CFO and vice president of finance positions with a number of emerging growth companies.

"I'm pleased and honored with my appointment as CEO of ENSERVCO," said Ian Dickinson. "I'm joining the Company at an exciting time in its history. Industry activity is rebounding, our financial performance is improving, our core well enhancement service segment is once again growing, and demand is very strong for our new water transfer service, which is an exciting extension of our service offerings. In my view, the Company's market value does not accurately reflect the intrinsic value of the Company, our growth prospects and the resurgence we're beginning to see in the industry. I intend to take a very active role in managing the business for continued profitable growth. My early priorities will be refinancing our debt, strengthening new and existing business development activities and increasing efficiencies throughout the organization.

"Prior to the industry downturn more than two years ago, ENSERVCO was arguably one of the top performing small oilfield services companies in the industry, achieving consistent growth in revenue and EBITDA and performing at a very high level," Dickinson added. "The downturn has been tough on all companies in our sector, but ENSERVCO has weathered the storm. Today, with the industry on the rebound, we have the advantages of a much larger, relatively young fleet, an expanded and more diversified services portfolio, enhanced geographic reach and solid customer relationships. Accordingly, assuming stable to steadily increasing commodity prices, we believe we're well positioned to achieve our growth objectives and deliver enhanced shareholder value."

Rich Murphy, Chairman of the Board of ENSERVCO, added, "We are very pleased to have attracted someone of the caliber of Ian Dickinson. He has demonstrated strong leadership in all his prior assignments and is well known and well regarded in the oilfield services equipment industry. We believe he's the right person to help ENSERVCO achieve its potential and we look forward to supporting his efforts in every way possible. On behalf of the board of directors, we also want to thank Rick Kasch for his years of service to ENSERVCO and wish him well in his retirement."
