SERVICE SECTOR / Alpine Oil Services Announces Sub-Contract

ALPINE OIL SERVICES - UNDERBALANCED DRILLING SUBCONTRACT IN INDONESIA

Stock Symbol:

Mr. Rod Hauser, President of Alpine Oil Services, today announced that Alpine
Oil Services International (Barbados) has signed a subcontract with B.J.
Services Company (Singapore) Pte. Limited to provide underbalanced drilling
surface flow control equipment in Indonesia.

Equipment was shipped in May, and personnel have been mobilized to be
dependant upon the successful application of this program's underbalanced
technique to eliminate mud loss control problems, and ultimately shortening
the duration of the drilling procedure.

Underbalanced drilling is rapidly gaining acceptance worldwide. This practice
involves decreasing the density of the drilling medium, so that the formation

pressure is slightly greater than the pressure leaving the bit. This creates
an underbalanced environment that stimulates production.

Alpine believes that underbalanced drilling will remain one of the primary
growth areas for the Corporation. The Company continues to manufacture
additional underbalanced drilling packages to meet anticipated demand over
the next two years.
