2 Agenda Drilling Challenges Alternative Designs Drilling Hammer Trends Ashmin HammR Drill Design Objectives Development Design & Specifications Field Test Results & Data Path Forward

3 Torque ft-lb Increase ROP Drilling Challenges in Horizontal: 30 FPH FPH Motor runs: 80 hrs hrs Days per well: - BHA for curve & lateral: 20 days 6-7 days multiple - generally /4" (5") 1,500-2,000 5,000-8,000 16, /4" (7") 4,000-7,000 12,000-24,000 45,000

4 Alternative Designs to address Challenges Percussion Drilling Increased ROP by 30% to 50% Less torque requirement thus Less reactive torque Better steerability Less rotational horsepower requirements at the bit High Speed Drilling High speed drilling with an expected bit speed of app. 800 RPM Currently RPM bit speed RPM DP rotary Future 750 RPM bit speed + 40 RPM DP rotary

5 Drilling Hammer Trends The pace of drilling an oil or gas well with conventional mud motors is reaching technical limits. Ashmin has combined the function of a percussion hammer with the rotational action of a drilling motor to further increase drilling efficiency We call it the HammR Drill
