GASFRAC Overview
GASFRAC is a fracturing stimulation company which has commercialized new technology using Liquefied Propane Gas (LPG) as the fracturing fluid LPG was approved as a fracturing fluid by the Energy Utility Board (EUB) in 2007 and GASFRAC began equipment design & construction; at this time Patent Filings were initiated
GASFRACs technology is a proprietary fracturing process with 10 patents pending and currently 7 applications in process
GASFRAC has proven that LPG fracturing delivers enhanced well productivity across many reservoirs
GASFRACs technology has resulted in increased reserves for oil and gas companies
GASFRAC has completed over 390 fracturing treatments and has consistently proven the technical and economic benefits of LPG fracturing technology
GASFRACs proprietary technology will allow it to continue to grow market share and generate premium margins and returns

Environmental
LPG fracturing is a sustainable process for oil & gas operators by using products they produce to produce more hydrocarbons LPG fracturing eliminates the use of millions of gallons of potable water per well LPG reduces the need to flare production to clean up the traditional fracturing fluids, eliminating thousands of tons of CO2 emissions; this, in turn, generates carbon credits that have a substantial dollar value Eliminates the disposal of millions of gallons of non-potable fracturing water
Eliminates the need for biocides (insecticides) that are required in fracturing

Continuously updating Independent Hazard and Operability performed by SIGMA Risk Management Inc. and Hood Engineering
Studies
The recommendations are incorporated into the equipment design and operating procedures to mitigate/eliminate potential risks We have conducted fracture treatments in the following jurisdictions: Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Quebec, New Brunswick and Pennsylvania GASFRAC has the same insurance rating as conventional water frac companies

Features of Reduced Viscosity: An order of magnitude reduction in viscosity results in an order of magnitude reduction in the pressure required to move the same volume of fluid through a porous media. Benefits of Reduced Viscosity: Greatly improves post fracture treatment fluid recovery that will maximize the effective fracture length and result in accelerated production and incremental reserves.
