Notes 1 through 5 please refer to the Notes to the Financial Highlights set
forth at the end of this release.


Total Energy's results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 reflect
increased drilling activity in Western Canada and continued growth in the
Company's Compression and Process Services division.


Total Energy's Contract Drilling Services division achieved 70% utilization
during the first quarter of 2014, recording 1,015 operating days (spud to
release), compared to 908 operating days, or 63% utilization, during the first
quarter of 2013 with a fleet of 16 rigs during both periods. Revenue per
operating day increased 4% for the first quarter of 2014 relative to the prior
year comparable period due primarily to higher average pricing. The Rentals and
Transportation Services division achieved a utilization rate on major rental
equipment of 51% during the first quarter of 2014 as compared to a 50%
utilization rate during the first quarter of 2013. This division exited the
first quarter of 2014 with 9,900 pieces of rental equipment and 109 heavy trucks
as compared to 9,900 rental pieces and 106 heavy trucks at March 31, 2013. The
Compression and Process Services division generated revenues of $54.7 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $45.1 million for the same
period in 2013, an increase of 21%. This division exited the first quarter of
2014 with a $49.0 million backlog of fabrication sales orders as compared to
$49.2 million at March 31, 2013. During the first quarter of 2014 approximately
10,500 horsepower of rental compression was sold upon the exercise of purchase
options. As at March 31, 2014 there was 51,400 horsepower of compression
equipment on rent as compared to 30,000 horsepower on rent at March 31, 2013.
The gas compression rental fleet operated at an average utilization rate of 91%
for the first quarter of 2014 as compared to 86% during the first quarter of
2013.


Cashflow was $34.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as
compared to $12.4 million for the comparable period in 2013. This significant
increase in cashflow was due primarily to the fact that $15.3 million of income
taxes paid in the first quarter of 2013 related to 2012 taxable income.


During the first quarter, Total Energy declared a quarterly dividend of $0.06
per share to shareholders of record on March 27, 2014. This dividend was paid on
April 30, 2014. 35,400 common shares were purchased under the Company's normal
course issuer bid during the first three months of 2014 at an average price of
$20.12 per share (including commissions).


Outlook

Relatively strong drilling activity in Western Canada during the first quarter
was underpinned by continued strength of oil prices and substantially higher
natural gas prices. Current expectations are that drilling activity levels will
remain strong following spring break-up when road conditions improve and permit
the transportation of heavy equipment. While completion activity started out
somewhat sluggish in 2014, such activity picked up significantly in mid-February
and continued through into April. Current indications are that summer completion
activity will be higher than 2013, which is expected to positively impact the
Company's Rentals and Transportation Services division which has suffered over
the past several quarters due to unfavorable market conditions arising from
lower well completion and service rig activity. The Company's Compression and
Process Services division continues to see strong demand for its products and
services. 


Total Energy's financial condition remains solid with a long-term debt
(including convertible debentures) to long-term debt plus equity ratio of 0.16
to 1.0, $92.6 million of positive working capital and no net debt as at March
31, 2014. Total Energy's $35 million operating facility is currently fully
available and undrawn. 


Total Energy's 2014 capital expenditure budget is currently $54.0 million,
including $22.8 million of carry forward from 2013, of which $21.1 million has
been expended to March 31, 2014. Included in capital expenditures are $1.2
million of capital leases related to light duty vehicles. Total Energy has
increased its 2014 capital budget by $14.0 million to $68.0 million. Included in
this increase is $9.5 million for the addition of approximately 185 pieces of
rental equipment and $4.5 million for the construction of infrastructure to
support the continued growth of the Compression and Process Services division's
field services business in central and northwestern Alberta. Total Energy
continues to evaluate numerous investment opportunities and the Company's
balance sheet strength provides significant capacity and flexibility to pursue
further growth opportunities that meet the Company's investment expectations.

Notes to Financial Highlights



1.  Operating earnings means results from operating activities and is equal
    to net income before income taxes minus gain on sale of property, plant
    and equipment plus finance costs minus finance income. EBITDA means
    earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and is
    equal to net income before income taxes plus finance costs plus
    depreciation less finance income. Cashflow means cash provided by
    operations before changes in non-cash working capital items. Operating
    earnings, EBITDA and cashflow are not recognized measures under IFRS.
    Management believes that in addition to net income, operating earnings,
    EBITDA and cashflow are useful supplemental measures as they provide an
    indication of the results generated by the Company's primary business
    activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed,
    amortized or how the results are taxed in various jurisdictions as well
    as the cash generated by the Company's primary business activities
    without consideration of the timing of the monetization of non-cash
    working capital items. Readers should be cautioned, however, that
    operating earnings, EBITDA and cashflow should not be construed as an
    alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS as an
    indicator of Total Energy's performance. Total Energy's method of
    calculating operating earnings, EBITDA and cashflow may differ from
    other organizations and, accordingly, operating earnings, EBITDA and
    cashflow may not be comparable to measures used by other organizations. 

2.  Per share data (diluted) and the number of common shares outstanding on
    a diluted basis includes the impact of the approximate 3.1 million
    common shares issuable upon the entire conversion of the $69 million
    principal amount of convertible debentures issued by the Company in
    February 2011. 

3.  Working capital equals current assets minus current liabilities. 

4.  Net Debt equals long-term debt plus obligations under finance leases
    plus convertible debentures plus current liabilities minus current
    assets. 

5.  Cashflow for the three months ended March 31, 2013 is net of $15.3
    million of income taxes paid during the period that relates to 2012
    taxable income as a result of the Company not having been required to
    make income tax installment payments during 2012.
