(TSE:CFT) (AMEX:CFK) announced today that revenue for the year ended December December: see month.  31, 1999, was $242.2 million, down $72 million or 23% from the previous year. The company's sales were influenced by oil well drilling Well drilling is the process of drilling a hole in the ground for the extraction of a natural resource such as ground water, natural gas, or petroleum. Drilling for the exploration of the nature of the material underground (for instance in search of metallic ore) is best described  in western Canada

). Although gas well drilling increased in 1999 it had less impact on revenue as the company's sales per gas well are less than one third of sales per oil well. Aggressive competition which resulted from the reduced market also drove down gross margins which averaged 12.1% compared with 14.3% in the previous year.

The company responded to market conditions by reducing operating expenses Operating expenses

 by $3.7 million to $31.4 million. However, the company continued to invest aggressively in information technology which negatively affected earnings in the short term and increased depreciation charges by 57% to $3.7 million. The result was a reduction in earnings of $7.7 million compared with the year earlier and a net loss of $5.4 million.

Then, toward the end of the year, oil drilling began to pick up and oilsands projects were launched.
