4 Why develop an intelligent, electronic gas lift product? Well and field optimisation difficulties Labour intensive operations Frequent well interventions necessary Single point gas injection with fixed port size Injection pressure operated Occasional lost wells due wire line failure Little or no attention given to development ‘Side Pocket’ techniques lack flexible control and operation Electronic Gas Lift IDEC, 2013, May 2013
5
5 New generation Electronic Gas Lift Product Intelligent and flexible operation Remove reliance on Injection Pressure Operation Multiple orifice injection flow control Real time gas injection changes Pressure/Temperature readings at injection point Continuous production without intervention Field wide optimisation and control Not just “incremental change” to existing techniques Electronic Gas Lift - APOLLO IDEC, 2013, May 2013

9 A move away from “side pocket” valve techniques Production Tubing Installation No wire line intervention Six independent gas injection points (3.5” config) Injection orifices customisable: 0.06” to 0.22” Surface control for down hole unit Power only when switching injection conditions Two pressure sensors APOLLO - Intelligent Electronic Gas Lift IDEC, 2013, May 2013
10
10 Generic Technology and Intellectual Property Permanent magnets hold armature against a spring Armature held in one of two stable positions No power required to hold armature in stable state Short electric pulse applied to break magnetic hold Stored energy catapults armature to opposite state Kinetic energy recaptured and stored in spring Binary Actuating Technology APOLLO - Intelligent Electronic Gas Lift IDEC, 2013, May 2013

16 Summary Camcon Oil Limited IDEC, 2013, May 2013 APOLLO is a digital, intelligent, electronically controlled, real time gas injection product that is installed within the production tubing. This eliminates the need for side pocket mandrels, wire-line retrievals or any well intervention technique to make changes to the gas injection rates required to maintain efficient production. This enables the delivery of significant operational benefits and enhancements to the oil operators, introducing management and operational control far beyond the current capabilities of existing solutions.
