Why Use Propane?


Enhances well productivity and provides higher returns for oil and gas producers Positive effect on oil and gas reserve estimates LPG purity eliminates possible reservoir contamination Proven in many oil and gas reservoirs Environmentally friendly and sustainable (no requirement for water, limited flaring) Proven to be safe

Enhanced Well Productivity


Fracture effectiveness is measured in effective fracture length (Surface Area) LPG is a formation compatible fracture fluid and is naturally occurring in the reservoir
No water damage to formation; water or oil cause considerable damage Produces more effective formation fracture length (no fluid blockage of fractures) Typically less than 50% of conventional fracture fluids are recovered from the well Capture initial flush production due to less flaring with fast fracture fluid recovery Faster clean up due to underbalanced nature of LPG fluids Excellent fluid for tight oil reservoirs due to LPG thinning oil in the reservoir LPG is compatible with both oil and gas reservoirs Low surface tension of LPG makes it clean up faster and better than conventional fluids

Frac Length and Production Impact


Initial Production 1,400 mcf/d LPG Frac

Fluid Clean Up to Flare With Conventional Water/Oil Frac 12 days x $6K = $72K Initial Production 750 mcf/d Conventional Frac Well Loading Requiring Well Intervention Coil Tubing 2 x $25K = $50K

LPG Fracture Production and Economic Impact


Incremental Revenue from Zero Flare and Rapid Clean-up: $57K + $72K = $129K

1,400 mcf/d Incremental Rate/Production From 100% Effective Fracture Length Accelerated Recovery Gas Produced in First 12 Days: $57K 20% Increased rate over 3 years results in a NPV10 of $400K

750 mcf/d Incremental Reserves from 100% Effective Fracture Length

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

12

Health and Safety


Equipment and operating procedures meet or exceed industry standards for handling of LPG Pumping of Flammable Fluids: Industry Recommended Practice (IRP) Volume 8-2002 and NFPA 58 Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code

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.
