TRINIDAD DRILLING ANNOUNCES CHANGES TO MANAGEMENT ROLES

Trinidad Drilling Ltd. has made changes to management roles. Adrian Lachance will assume the expanded role of chief operating officer and Randy Hawkings will assume the new role of executive vice-president, U.S. operations.

"Adrian and Randy bring extensive experience in the oil and gas industry to their new positions," said Brent Conway, Trinidad's president and chief executive officer. "Their continued contributions to managing our operations and assisting in the future direction of the company will be invaluable as we guide Trinidad for success in the current improving conditions and through future industry cycles."

Mr. Lachance has been with Trinidad for 14 years, most recently as chief operating officer, U.S. and international. During his career with Trinidad, Mr. Lachance has held various senior positions within the company, including responsibility for the company's U.S. and international operations, rig design and manufacturing, and corporate business development. Mr. Lachance was a key driver behind the company's successful expansion in to the U.S. in 2005, and continues to be an integral part of the innovative and unique rig designs that have built Trinidad's reputation as a high-performance driller. Prior to joining Trinidad, Mr. Lachance was the owner of a private drilling company, Bear Drilling, which was acquired by Trinidad in 2003.

Mr. Hawkings joined Trinidad in 2015 as executive vice-president, Canadian operations and Mexico, following the acquisition of CanElson Drilling, where he held the position of president and CEO. In his new role, Mr. Hawkings will be responsible for running the company's U.S. operations. In addition, he will set up and manage Trinidad's performance drilling and technology integration initiatives. Mr. Hawkings holds a bachelor of applied science degree in mechanical engineering from the University of British Columbia and holds a professional engineer designation with the Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicist of Alberta.

Trinidad's divisions currently operate in the drilling sector of the oil and natural gas industry, with operations in Canada, the United States and internationally. In addition, through joint venture arrangements, Trinidad operates drilling rigs in Saudi Arabia and Mexico, and is currently assessing operations in other international markets.
