ABSTRACT
CALGARY, July 15, 2015 /CNW/ - Cathedral Energy Services Ltd. (TSX: CET) ("Cathedral") announces that it has
officially released three product enhancements to its proprietary FUSION(TM) Measurement-While-Drilling ("MWD")
technology platform. The enhancements include superior electromagnetic transmission capabilities, the ability to
collect downhole drilling diagnostics and further ruggedizing the FUSION MWD platform to operate in increasingly
demanding drilling environments. With these enhancements Cathedral's ElectroMagnetic ("EM") technology can be
relied on by our customers in more formations and drilling environments than competitive technologies. In addition,
the enhanced FUSION technology platform will offer customers superior reliability and performance compared to
other systems.

CALGARY, July 15, 2015 /CNW/ - Cathedral Energy Services Ltd. (TSX: CET) ("Cathedral") announces that it has
officially released three product enhancements to its proprietary FUSION(TM) Measurement-While-Drilling ("MWD")
technology platform. The enhancements include superior electromagnetic transmission capabilities, the ability to
collect downhole drilling diagnostics and further ruggedizing the FUSION MWD platform to operate in increasingly
demanding drilling environments. With these enhancements Cathedral's ElectroMagnetic ("EM") technology can be
relied on by our customers in more formations and drilling environments than competitive technologies. In addition,
the enhanced FUSION technology platform will offer customers superior reliability and performance compared to
other systems.

Cathedral has been developing and manufacturing its own proprietary MWD technology platform since 2002 and in
2007 technology development was brought fully in-house. These technology development efforts have resulted in
Cathedral's EM technology being recognized as best-in-class in the directional drilling industry. The in-house
technology development and manufacturing capability also positions Cathedral to be highly responsive to customer
needs and quickly adapt its technology for specific applications and situations.

The following is a summary of the recent FUSION technology platform enhancements:

FUSION EM-G5.0 - Enhanced EM Transmission

The industry leading capability of the FUSION EM system has been further improved by incorporating higher power
levels and enhanced transmission and detection technologies. In addition, two-way (talk down) communication with
FUSION EM-G5.0 allows power level changes to be made while drilling to optimize battery consumption and extend
tool run times. As a result of these enhancements, FUSION EM-G5.0 now offers a means for our customers to

realize the drilling time benefits of EM-MWD technology in a wider range of formations in key basins across North
America where traditional EM systems have not been successful (e.g. EagleFord, Montney, Bakken, Lower
Mississippian, Permian, Lower Utica).

HAWK(TM) - Downhole Monitoring System

Cathedral's HAWK downhole monitoring system is a recent addition to the FUSION technology platform which
records stick-slip, shock and vibration data and transmits this information in real-time to surface. This information
can then be used to alter drilling parameters to reduce excessive bit wear and mitigate downhole equipment
damage. By using the HAWK system, operators are able to optimize rate of penetration while minimizing
unnecessary trips and other non-productive time.

Vibration Dampening System

Utilizing data logged by the HAWK, Cathedral developed specialized mounting systems for gamma ray and
directional sensors that can be tuned to greatly reduce the vibration levels experienced downhole. The result is
ruggedized sensors that reduce downhole sensor vibration and shock levels significantly. With fewer downhole
sensor failures, our customers will achieve more productive drilling time and the ability to pursue higher rates of
penetration when using aggressive bits and drill string vibration tools.
