* Cost efficiency measures took effect throughout the quarter, but still

David Wells, CEO of Aqualis ASA said:
"Whilst the oil and gas market remains weak, we have seen signs of increased
tender activity and there are indications that we have either reached or are
near the bottom of this recession. Contract visibility remains short term
forcing us to take further cost and operational measures to ensure
profitability. These will continue to be phased in throughout H1 2017.
We expect 2017 to remain challenging for the oil and gas industry and we need to
remain alert and adapting quickly to the opportunities that the market presents
to us."
