GFCI Presentation in Venezuela; Jet Motor Assembly Evaluation and Shipping Update

HOUSTON, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/20/05 -- Grifco International, Inc. (OTC: GFCI), a
provider of oil and gas services equipment to the worldwide oil and gas
industry, has presented the Perf Drill and Silver Hawg to Petroleos de
Venezuela SA while the Jet Motor undergoes rigorous testing at Grifco's
Texas facility.



Jerry Griffith is in Venezuela presenting Grifco's Perf Drill tool and
Silver Hawg to a forty engineer contingent from Petroleos de Venezuela SA
(PDVSA), the National Oil Company of Venezuela. Griffith has extended his
stay in Venezuela in order to outline well procedures at PDVSA's request;
GFCI expects a substantial purchase order by the end of July.





Meanwhile, Grifco has completed the scheduled evaluation and testing phase
for its initial production slate of fifty Jet Motor units. Test result
highlights include:

-- Initial delivery of the Jet Motor components received 07/16/05 with
dimensional inspection to ISO 9001 standards completed on 07/18/05.

-- Upon completion of the dimensional and visual inspection flow, testing
of the components was conducted to establish a baseline for horsepower and
torque output of the assembly.

-- On 07/19/05, tests to establish flow rate and pressures through the
tool were conducted using actual ratings that will be utilized in field
applications of the tool.

-- The results of the flow testing met or exceeded every operational
criteria standard set for flow rates and torque output of the Jet Motor.

-- Upon cessation of the flow test, the subject components were
disassembled and evaluated for abnormal or dimensional wear indications;
none were present.

-- The Jet Motor product evaluation met or exceeded all criteria set
forth by engineering projections.

Hurricane Emily, currently a category 3 storm that has reached land near
the US border with Mexico, has caused a delay in our planned 7/20/05 order
shipments to Mexico and South Texas. Weather permitting, GFCI will ship Jet
Motors to clients starting on Monday 7/25/05.



Once the initial fifty Jet Motor units are operational in the field, Grifco
has plans for a subsequent round of production to meet multiple unit
inquiries and commitments from Grifco International customers. Any
information regarding orders will be released pending legal clearance from
clients.
