The Pump

  • Near commercializaAon with no immediate compeAAon
  • Lower capital cost and operaAng cost when compared with pump jacks

The Market

  • Nearly 20,000 Oil wells (Bakken, Shaunavon, Cardium, Viking, Niobrara, etc.) where pump jacks

are used to produce oil have been idenAfied as candidates

  • In Canada alone, 90% of all new wells are drilled for oil and 88% of all new wells are drilled

horizontally

  • 750,000 pump jacks already in use in North America

The Opportunity

  • Exposure to a high growth company with pivotal operaAonal catalysts on the horizon
  • Agreement in place with large oil company and first commercial version of the Pump to be

installed late 2015 / early 2016

  • Ongoing discussions with other clients to install addiAonal ElectromagneAc Pumps

Increases in direcAonal drilling, and horizontal wells in parAcular, have created new challenges:

  • Bends in the well create points of contact between the rod string and the producAon tubing;
  • Rod string suffers excessive wear as it cycles up and down 3 million Ames per year, leading to

eventual failure of the rods and occasionally the producAon tubing;

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

CriFcal points

  • f contact in
  • il wells that

result in excessive wear and eventual failure of rod strings.

The Linear Pump:

ü No immediate compeAAon for this technology ü ReciprocaAng pump is a modified industry standard rod-pump ü Powered by permanent magnet motor - magnets lose only 1% of magneAsm over 10 year period ü No external moving parts; everything moves internally in the Pump housing ü 2nd GeneraAon Pump improved with 25% more power & 50% less fric'on than prototypes ü Ideal for light oil, shallow horizontal wells - can be set inside the horizontal secAon in a well

slide-8
SLIDE 8

The Linear Pump effec'vely:

ü Eliminates surface liZing equipment (pump jack) Smaller footprint means reduced construcAon costs, lower environmental impact, and lower impact on farming and ranching. ü Eliminates sucker rods Worn and broken sucker rods can cost clients up to $153,000(2) annually to maintain, including the oil not being produced during failures. ü Eliminates leaking wellheads Wellheads typically leak oil at the ‘stuffing box’ (the seal around the sucker rod). This is a chronic environmental issue with pump jack

  • peraAons.

  • Low cost manufacturing, ahracAve margins, and ability to quickly scale-up
  • Simple installaAon in the field & limited maintenance required for producers
  • Compelling in oil price downturn - lower cost installaAon and maintenance compared

to pump jacks

  • Divergent’s management team has hands-on experience building companies and

APPENDICES

SLIDE 15

1. The Linear Pump uses a modified industry standard reciprocaAng pump currently used with pump jacks, known as a rod pump. The pump is driven by an electromagneAc motor that uses permanent magnets to create thrust to move the shaT of the motor in a reciprocaAng, or linear, moAon. Permanent magnets maintain their strength almost indefinitely, losing approximately 1% of their strength every 10 years. 2. Gross Margins improved to 30% from 23% in the nine months ended in 2015 and 2014 respecAvely. 3. Annual Rod Pump Cost AssumpAons:

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

Current Technology Drawbacks Linear Pump Benefits

Surface liTing equipment (Pump Jack) has a high capital cost and requires a large footprint The submersible pump has a lower capital cost, reduces construcAon costs due to no surface liTing 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 verAcal wells Rods strings wear from the 3,000,000 annual up/ down cycles, which can cost up to $153,000(3) annually to maintain, including the oil not being produced during failures No rod string, no external moving parts. Everything moves internally in the Pump 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 Luxin Foundry and Machine

Electro-Magne'c Submersible Pump (The Pump) Permanent magnet motor technology. ReciprocaAng pump (similar to rod pumps). Ideally suited for deviated and horizontal oil wells. An alternaAve to convenAonal pump jack installaAons. Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) ConvenAonal pump technology. RotaAng pump with mulAple impellers. Pumps moderate to high volumes of fluids. 24 m3/d (150 bbl/d) to 24,600 m3/d (150,000 bbl/d). Electric Submersible Progressing Cavity Pump Also called screw or Moineau pumps. Heavy oil, high sand producAon, gassy wells. Now deployed as a submersible pump system. Eliminates surface motors and costly rod string wear.
