NATCHIQ IMPLEMENTS INNOVATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE PROGRAM WITH ENVIANCE TECHNOLOGY

ANCHORAGE, Alaska and SAN DIEGO, February 19, 2002 - Natchiq, Inc., the Global Energy Services Division of Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, today announced the unveiling of its restructured environmental compliance program made possible with the Enviance ASP, an Internet-based compliance management tool.

"Natchiq prides itself on being at the forefront of environmental responsibility; we always strive to go beyond the call of duty when it comes to environmental compliance. The Enviance ASP has been instrumental in enabling Natchiq to meet the high standards set out in our new compliance program," said Bill Cheek, president and chief executive officer of Natchiq.

The Enviance ASP provides companies with the necessary tools to effectively manage all data and activities associated with state and federal regulatory requirements. The System creates a collaborative work environment allowing environmental health & safety professionals to share, access, and monitor compliance data at any time and from any location with an Internet connection. Compliance reporting templates can be created with the Enviance ASP and custom reports, to satisfy both corporate and legislative reporting requirements, are easily generated.

"With Governor Knowles' proposed increases in environmental audits and oversights, Enviance is making it our business to support the oil & gas industry's efforts to responsibly manage its environmental obligations and stay ahead of regulatory demands. Audits will be less painful and completed at lower cost since the Enviance system simplifies and automatically creates a record of all compliance activities," said Lawrence Goldenhersh, president and chief executive of Enviance.

"Not only have we implemented Enviance's ASP, the most technologically advanced environmental management system available to Industry, but as a result, Natchiq will be able to improve the quality of our environmental, health & safety performance while reducing the cost of compliance," said Cheek.

Enviance, an environmental technology company, developed the ASP compliance management tool to help companies such as Natchiq improve compliance tracking, record-keeping, and data management. The Enviance ASP can be used to demonstrate compliance for regulatory and auditing purposes.

The Natchiq family of companies serve the onshore and offshore global energy industry in design, fabrication, construction, maintenance, operations, and exploration & production technical services. They have operations in Alaska, Texas, Louisiana, Gulf of Mexico, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and Sakhalin Island, Russia. For additional information visit www.natchiq.com or contact info@natchiq.com.
