Enhanced Oil Recovery By In-Situ High Energy Elastic Waves

Key Concepts Key Concepts Key Concepts NOT – a single well stimulation Coverage – one tool can cover a radius of up to 1.4 miles EOR – stimulation through fault blocks and layers Safe – no damage to cement bond or increase in fines migration Environmental Impact – ZERO

Key Concepts Key Concepts How It Works

Key Concepts The ASR Seismic Stimulation Tool Reliable – maintenance free Durable – lifespan 1 ½ to 2 years Effective – delivers over 2 million high energy elastic waves Powerful – each wave has the power of over 2 megawatts Deployable – installs in any abandoned well

Key Concepts Key Concepts How the Tool is Installed Shipped in 3 sections (in one crate, 22-ft long) Assembled in 3 hours Run into well in the same fashion as a tubing pump Connected to the pumping unit and started Zero maintenance over typical lifespan of 18 months

Key Concepts Key Concepts The EOR Process – Pore Level

Key Concepts Key Concepts Application Carbonates – Permian Basin and Middle East Sandstones – United States, North Africa, Mexico, and Canada Diatomites – United States Works In – waterfloods and non-waterfloods Criteria – by-passed Oil, API > 13, GOR < 2,000 scf/stb Limitation – requires pumping unit, depth of tubing pump

Endorsements – Mature Conventional Fields “I read an article about ASR in the American Association of Petroleum Geologist publication ”EXPLORER.” The article pointed out that the ASR technology was the first Enhanced Oil Recovery technology in forty two years to be effective and that the State of Texas would grant a 50% Severance Tax reduction for ten years to operators who used the technology and it proved to be effective on their leases. Our company tried it and after a lengthy testing period during which we kept meticulous records the technology either increased production (sandstone) or stemmed the decline curve (carbonate) depending on the area of our leases we tested. Two of our several producing horizons from shallow (carbonate, less than 2000 feet) to our deeper zones (sandstone, to 4300 feet) responded as predicted. ASR's projection proved accurate and they were instrumental in walking the data through the State in order to obtain the Severance Tax relief, which was approved in a timely manner. We would not hesitate to recommend to producers in mature, waterflooded areas such as ours to consider using ASR's technology to enhance their own production.” A.V. Pieroni President and Owner, BTO Production, Wichita Falls, TX

Endorsements – Shale “I do think that once a shale is fractured and you get the easy hydrocarbons out, that there will be hydrocarbons stuck in those fractures. Having seismic waves squeeze fractured rock results in large amounts of fluid movement and the potential for mobilizing the oil stuck (bypassed) in the fracture.   So yes, I think fractured media is a great application for Seismic Stimulation.” Dr. Steven R. Pride Scientist, Earth Sciences Division Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories Adjunct Professor U. C. Berkeley
