Directionally drilled and horizontal wells have created new challenges:

  • Bends in the well create points of contact between the rod string and the production tubing;
  • Rod string suffers excessive wear as it cycles up and down millions of times per year, leading to

eventual failure of the rods and occasionally the production tubing;

  • Limited advancements in pumping technology are creating rising costs to produce oil.

Critical points

  • f contact in
  • il wells that

result in excessive wear and eventual failure of rod strings.

The Problem

slide-10
SLIDE 10

10

  • Disruptive technology - an alternative to

conventional pump jack installations

  • High efficiency electromagnetic motor
  • Modified industry standard rod pump
  • Oil wells to 3100m depth
  • Rates to 200 bbl/d
  • Suitable for vertical, deviated, and

horizontal wells

  • Reduced Operating Costs by as much as

$153,000 annually(2)

  • Increases Production Rates when able to

set the Linear Pump lower in the well vs. conventional pumps

The Solution

  • Smaller footprint on surface
  • Eliminates leaking wellheads
  • Reduces carbon footprint
slide-11
SLIDE 11
  • Original pumps were provided by an overseas manufacturer.
  • One pump failed when wellbore solids filled the pump, causing it to seize.
  • One pump failed due to being fabricated with a lower strength steel than

required.  Current pumps are fabricated in Canada.  No further pump issues.

11

Demonstrated Progress and Results

 No issues have been associated with the current generation motor.

  • Using industry standard submersible pump cable.
  • Electrical shorts were occurring at random depths.
  • No definitive cause; suspected tubing movement causing the damage.

 Integrated an industry standard tubing anchor in March 2017.  Tubing movement has been eliminated.  No further cable issues.

Rod Pump Drawbacks Linear Pump Benefits

Surface lifting equipment (Pump Jack*) has a high capital cost and requires a large footprint The Linear Pump has a lower capital cost, reduces construction costs due to no surface lifting equipment Rod strings in deviated and horizontal wells cause excessive wear due to rubbing against the tubing No external moving parts means that the Linear Pump can be placed in deviated and horizontal wells as easily as vertical wells Rods strings wear from the 3,000,000 annual up/down cycles, which can cost up to $153,000(2) annually to maintain, including the oil not being produced during failures No rod string, no external moving parts. Everything moves internally in the pump’s housing Mechanical inefficiencies and variable power draw can lead to high electricity costs Permanent magnet motors run on low Amps with no mechanical gears to reduce efficiency Leaking wellheads around the rod (from the “stuffing box”) is common Seal not an issue - no moving parts exit the wellhead

* The Pumpjack was invented in 1925 by Walter Trout, an employee of Lufkin Foundry and Machine

Balance Sheet and Capitalization

slide-22
SLIDE 22

1. The Pump uses a modified industry standard reciprocating pump currently used with pump jacks, known as a rod pump. The pump is driven by an electromagnetic motor that uses permanent magnets to create thrust to move the shaft of the motor in a reciprocating, or linear, motion. Permanent magnets maintain their strength almost indefinitely, losing approximately 1% of their strength every 10 years. 2. Annual Rod Pump Cost Assumptions:

  • Rod Strings $20 per meter;
  • 10% of string replaced after a failure event;
  • Service Rig $12,000 per day, 2 days per failure event;
  • 5 days lost production per rod failure;
  • rod string failure rate of 4 failures annually.
  • Oil price of $45/bbl and production rate of 50 bbl/day;

3. Carbon Footprint reduction is achieved by the reduction in the amount of steel to fabricate a Linear Pump vs the steel used to fabricate a pump jack and rod string. Producing one ton of steel emits 1.8 tons CO2 and producing one ton of copper emits 3 tons

  • f CO2 (World Steel Organization and European Copper Institute). Actual CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions may vary between

steel composites and manufacturers. Actual steel composition and specific weights will vary between equipment manufacturers.
