1 Under-balanced well bore cleanout and production evaluation technology.

2 Presentation Overview Why This Technology is Required How It Works Applications Benefits Case Histories & Successes

3 Under-pressured reservoirs Horizontal and extended reach well designs Velocities in liners allow for solids settling Hz section is not 100% utilized Liquid loading of shallow to medium depth well bores Cleanout damage is becoming more of a problem each and every day Why is This Technology Required

4 Why This Technology is Required Alternative processes such as fluid circulation, swabbing, gas cleanouts and bailing or pump to surface technology have limitations and can no longer be generally applied. –Adds pressure to formation (over-balanced) –Does not work in Hz –Costly to deploy –Slow process --- › expensive

5 How it Works This systems utilizes two unique technologies to revolutionize the well bore cleanout operations. Our JetPak™ system utilizes FlatPak™ coiled tubing technology as well as specifically engineered jet pump to remove solids and liquids from well bores. The primary function of this technology is to create a low pressure environment in the well bore to pump the fluid and/or solids to surface.

11 JetPak ™ Cleanout Comparison

12 Benefits Production Testing - This is an excellent system to evaluate wells that are sub-pressured in nature and do not flow. The subject well may be a candidate for Artificial Lift or an abandonment candidate. None the less, the JetPak™ will remove the fluid so accurate well data can be collected.

16 JetPak versus JetVak? JetPak system alternates between Jetting and vakking (shiftable while down hole) JetVak system facilitates simultaneous jetting and vakking operations, a “clean as you go approach. The FlatPak coiled tubing string is bonded and contains dual 1¼” or1½” carbon steel coils. The length of the string ranges from 900 to 3100 meters, and is deployed by Technicoil’s rig 2006 based out of Red Deer, supported by Quantum.

34 With high viscosity oils we are mixing a water based polymer called JetFlux into our power fluid. The high pressure jets blast the heavy oil, the result is a uniform non-viscous water like return fluid. The chemical has a sand suspension component to it add a safety margin into the operation. The mixing rate is 75 l/m3 of water. CHOPS

37 Alberta Research Counsel study on “tight Oil” Moving Solids?

38 Questions Surrounding Horizontal Well designs How long should the lateral section be in a given formation? Is drainage making it to the toe of the lateral? Stimulation type, Ball frac vs. mono bore and liner diameter choice Optimize fracture size and type What is the PBHP and inflow characteristics at specific intervals or stages? How does this correlate with frac type / volume and stip log. Fluid and solids viscosity and velocity in the lateral Drainage Area

39 Conclusions In the mid 1990s, the SPE did a world wide study on the production from Hz wells of all types. They found that, on average, 30% of the lateral sections did not produce. Our findings reaffirms the out come of this study. During our tests the majority of the Hz wells we have entered have offered the best production from the mid point to the toe of the lateral section. Alternately the liner has proof of non production since new, drilling fluid, drilling enzymes or the liner entirely full of sand. We are running BH recorders on each and every cleanout. This is another diagnosis tool we can use to identify issues or potential upside. To make a horizontal well economically successful, it has to yield at minimum 4 times what an offset vertical produces. Thus, we are still in our infancy when it comes to completion and production of Hz wells. This information may help E&P companies design wells that will optimize recovery of the given formation. Geology- Longer may not always be better.

40 Hz well information? How do we gather it? High water cut gas inflow High oil cut $$

41 Commonly Asked Questions 400+ successful operations with, no safety incidents or stuck pipe or plugged coil. Velocity on the return conduit of the FlatPak is 2m/sec. well above hz sand settling velocity. Maximum amount of sand out of one well, 8.0m3 or 20,000 Kilograms Minimum tubing size the system can run through is 114mm Velocity string not required Clients, Husky, Shell, Devon, Statoil, Cenovus, Nexen, PennWest, Paramount, ARC Res., Provident, CNRL, Westfire, Harvest, Enerplus, Progress Energy, Fairborne, Anderson, Suncor/Petro-Canada, Baytex Energy, Pengrowth, LonePine Res.
