Subtitle: •	Top 5 customers placed sidetrack drilling and hydraulic 
fracturing orders worth EUR 206 million for 2010 •	TNK-BP rolls over 
three-year contract for hydraulic fracturing services •	Participation
in additional tenders throughout the current fiscal year
C.A.T. oil AG (O2C, ISIN:
AT0000A00Y78), one of the leading providers of oil and gasfield 
services in Russia and Kazakhstan,  enters well prepared into Fiscal 
Year 2010: Throughout the fourth quarter the Company successfully 
participated in tenders for oil and gasfield services and received 
new orders worth EUR 206 million (based on a rouble-to-euro exchange 
rate of 43). The sidetrack drilling and hydraulic fracturing 
contracts were awarded by C.A.T. oil´s long-term customers Rosneft, 
TNK-BP, Gazprom, LUKoil and Kazmunaigaz which together represent the 
largest oil and gas producers in Russia and Kazakhstan.
Furthermore, C.A.T. oil´s core operating subsidiary CATOBNEFT was 
able to carry on its well-established business relationship with 
TNK-BP. Following the successful execution of a three-year contract 
for hydraulic fracturing services in 2009, TNK-BP awarded another 
three-year assignment to CATOBNEFT which includes a minimum of 1,500 
hydraulic fracturing jobs. Beginning this year, the hydraulic 
fracturing jobs will be carried out in the Nizhnevartovsk area (West 
Siberia) until the end of  Fiscal Year 2012.
"We are very proud of the results of the latest tender period. Unlike
last year we are operating on the basis of a very solid order backlog
at the beginning of 2010. Our customers are planning with increased 
production levels again and award assignments at an early point in 
time. Already at the end of January our order book has therefore 
exceeded EUR 200 million. The assignments and the three-year contract
by TNK-BP demonstrate, that C.A.T. oil is very well established in 
its core markets and customers count on the knowhow of our crews and 
the quality of our services",  Manfred Kastner CEO of C.A.T. oil 
said.
During the course of the first quarter and beyond C.A.T. oil will 
continue to participate in tenders for additional service job 
contracts. "Based on the latest order book status, we expect our core
businesses, sidetrack drilling and hydraulic fracturing, to grow 
further during 2010. The cost cutting program exe-cuted in 2009 has 
laid the groundwork to deliver high-quality service at a com-petitive
price level while at the same time increasing efficiency. C.A.T. oil 
is therefore well prepared for 2010 and the years beyond and we look 
forward to make best possible use of the latest positive signs in our
core markets", Manfred Kastner said.
C.A.T. oil will publish its results for Fiscal Year 2009 on April 28,
2010.

About C.A.T. oil AG: C.A.T. oil AG is one of the leading providers of
oil and gas field services in Russia and Kazakhstan and is listed at 
the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (SDAX). C.A.T. oil offers a wide 
spectrum of services to increase the lifecycle of an oil field or to 
make aban-doned oil fields accessible. The Company´s growth is driven
by three significant fac-tors: Existing oil fields need to be 
stimulated due to shrinking oil and gas resources in order to 
optimize capacities. Simultaneously, idle wells are reactivated or 
made ac-cessible through new methods in order to deploy wells to 
their maximum. Additionally C.A.T. oil offers seismic services which 
help to identify new oil and gas sources. Since its foundation in 
1991 in Celle, Germany, C.A.T. oil has built up a leading hydraulic 
fracturing services business with a current market share of almost 
30% in Russia and Kazakhstan. Following its IPO in 2006 the company 
has invested more than EUR 200 million in additional services and 
capacities: sidetrack drilling has become the Com-pany´s second core 
business with a market share of approx. 18% in Russia. Apart from the
services mentioned above, C.A.T.oil´s diversified service portfolio 
includes coiled tubing, formation evaluation services, well 
work-over, cementing and seismic services. Due to the recent 
expansion investments C.A.T. oil´s fleets and rigs are 
state-of-the-art and therefore allow for time-efficient and effective
deployment.
C.A.T. oil´s customer base includes the leading Russian and Kazakh 
oil and gas pro-ducers amongst them Gazprom, KazMunaiGaz, LUKOIL, 
Rosneft and TNK-BP. With all of them C.A.T. oil has a long-standing 
relationship and has been a reliable service provider since its 
market entrance in the early nineties.
The Company has its headquarters in Vienna and employed an average of
3,024 people in the first nine months of 2009, most of whom are based
in Russia and Kazakhstan. The Company´s 2009 order book amounted to 
EUR 228 million in September 2009.
