Introduction: Market Description
Wireline Open Hole (OH) E-line Wireline service performed on e-line to acquire formation evaluation data prior to the borehole being protected with steel pipe and cement. Commonly referred to as Open Hole logging. Cased Hole Cased Hole (CH) E-line Wireline service performed on e-line after the borehole is protected by casing and cement. Can include formation, pipe and cement evaluation as well as perforating and other completion related service. Slickline Wireline service performed on slickline. Generally includes mechanical completion or remedial services. Evaluation services can be performed utilizing memory tools to acquire data. OH wireline is almost exclusively new well work CH wireline is both new and old well work “E-line” refers to “electric line” - wireline that has one or more electrical conductors to pass power and data to/from downhole tools Slickline is single strand steel (nominally) wireline, no conductors

Introduction: Market Description
The Global Wireline Market for 2015 is $10.8 billion. This is ~ 1.5X the market size in 2005 of $6.9 billion and represents a CAGR for the period of 4.5%. The four major logging companies, Schlumberger, Halliburton, Baker Hughes and Weatherford, hold a combined $8.6 billion, or ~80% of the global wireline market. This is up slightly over the 77% of the market these companies accounted for in It is a normal feature of a market retreat for the majors to hold or grow market share better than their smaller competitors. Historically, the global wireline market revenue was split 50/50 between open hole logging (formation evaluation) vs. cased hole logging (completion services). Today, the global split is roughly 33% open hole and 66% cased hole. For the US land market the revenue split is much closer to 20% open hole and 80% cased hole and is a result of the increasing intensity of cased hole wireline service required during a multi-stage frac completion commonly performed in the horizontal unconventional well and the reluctance to acquire open hole logs in a horizontal well. The US land wireline market is $2.8 billion in 2015 which is nearly 5x the offshore market of $.6 billion.

Introduction: Oilfield Lifecycle Spending
Phase Activity Wireline Service Exploration seismic, mapping Well Construction site prep, drilling, logging, set casing, cementing OH formation evaluation, CH cement evaluation Completion wireline, frac, rental & fishing CH plug & perforate, Slickline mechanical Production well head install, flow fluids/gas, pumping, testing, monitoring, remedial CH production logging, Slickline mechanical These charts show the amount of money spent annually in each of the four segments. The period is Well Construction Exploration Completion Production $~185 billion (2015) is spent annually to explore, construct, complete & produce oil & gas wells around the world. This does not include the drilling contractor. Open hole wireline services are found primarily within the well construction segment. Cased hole wireline services are found primarily within the well completion segment but are also found in the production phase as many wells require remedial cased hole work through the life of the well Source: Spears & Associates’ research

Global Wireline Logging
estimated CAGR: 8% Each of these companies have segment revenues in excess of $100 million KEY FACTS The CAGR of this sector has been 8%, due mainly to growth in cased hole logging services on land in North America bringing the Global Wireline Market to ~ $15 billion in Like most oilfield service market, wireline suffered a precipitous decline in 2015 of 29% to ~$11 billion. During the period we are forecasting an 8% CAGR – continuing at the same pace as the prior decade. Wireline logging, as a well intervention technique, is growing in popularity both on and offshore, where subsea well intervention is now commonly performed with a wireline and no drill ship. Horizontal wells consume 2.5x the products of a vertical well, positively impacting wireline in the US. The major service companies represent ~80% of the wireline market, just like the completions market. Source: Spears & Associates’ Oilfield Market Report, 2015

Global Wireline Logging
One measure of a market’s growth is the year-to-year change of the intensity with which the product/service is used. The measure we use on this page is market size divided by number of rigs running. The chart below divides the wireline logging global market by the number of actively drilling rigs worldwide. In 2005 about $2.5 million wireline services per active rig were sold each year. In 2015 the number has grown to $4.5 million and continues to rise. The intensity of growth of this market is still strong.

16
Annual Market Change The total oilfield equipment & service market grows & falls sharply, surging >30% some years, growing 5% some years… The period was characterized by rapid growth of nearly 20% each year followed by sudden collapse in Lean manufacturing of wells since 2012 has slowed the growth rate to ~ 8%. Followed by the market collapse in 2015.
17
Global Well Completion Market
Wireline is a sub-segment within the well completion market. The well completion market has been one of the highest growth segments of the global oilfield due largely to increasing demand for hydraulic fracturing, cased hole wireline services and expanding coiled tubing roles.

US Wireline Market Overview
21
Wireline Cost Index Costs for wireline work on land in the US have the same cycle as total D&C costs, but are less exaggerated. As the cost index illustrates, the collapse in wireline pricing in 2008 and 2009 was less extreme than total well costs. However, the rebound in prices through 2011 was about the same as the overall market. The collapse in oil prices late in 2014 placed a materially downward bias on wireline pricing through 2015. Spears undertakes a quarterly survey of independent well engineering and wellsite supervision firms to collect “spot market” drilling and completion services price information for a specific set of commonly drilled wells in the US. The information in the “well profile” survey is collected in the form of detailed drilling and completion services cost estimates based on current unit prices and usage rates in each location at the end of the quarter.

Bottom Hole Temperatures
The complexity of wireline technology is highly correlated to bottom hole temperature. High temperatures require downhole tools and wireline designed for the task. Risk of failure rises as the design requirements increase. Wireline jobs are carefully planned in the hotter environments to limit time spent in the wellbore.

Eagle Ford / South Texas
The Eagle Ford is a play that spans at least 25 counties in Texas Rail Road Commission districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and parts of 5. By comparison, the largest oil & gas play on land in the last 75 years was the East Texas gas field which covered one entire county and parts of 4 others. Maps provided by the state of Texas (seen below) show the locations of these RRC districts and the extent of the specific Eagle Ford play. This report focuses on the Eagle Ford, but the region includes a variety of other well types. RRC district 4, for example, has some of the deepest and hottest vertical gas well drilling in the country. RRC district 1 has the original Austin Chalk horizontal play that proved to the industry that horizontal drilling was a valuable tool. Source: Spears & Associates, Inc. / Oilfield Logix Series
29
South Texas: Description
The dominance of horizontal wells coupled with multi-stage “plug & perf” completions in the Eagle Ford create significant demand for cased hole wireline services. New well construction fell sharply in 2015 due to global oil prices falling from $95 to $55, dipping to $45 early in This decline in oil prices will cut drilling in South Texas by 40%. Horizontal drilling in pursuit of the Eagle Ford’s oil is the predominant technique in South Texas, but there is still a small vertical well drilling industry. Vertical drilling has an enormous depth range with most of these pursuing natural gas. The greatest percentage decline in drilling has been felt in the vertical well category.

South Texas Cased hole logging is the primary wireline work found in South Texas. Certainly in the Eagle Ford. But for the occasional open hole log taken in a moderately exploratory hole, most wireline work is limited to cement bond longs, plug & perf work and setting packers. As shown in the neighboring chart, the region’s wireline market is ~$0.33 billion in This is down from $0.8 billion in 2014 as frac activity fell and prices dropped. We don’t expect a significant recovery in 2016. South Texas is served by a number of cased hole wireline logging companies, including: Allied Horizontal Wireline Archer ArkLaTex Baker Hughes C&J/Cased Hole Solutions Halliburton Schlumberger Weatherford Spears & Associates, Inc. / Oilfield Logix Series
32
South Texas: Frac Stages / Well
Shallow South Texas wells have <10 stages in each frac (typically just 1-2). Horizontal wells range from stages, with the typical horizontal well frac pumping stages, but there is a strong trend to more stages each year. Frac Stages per well are a direct driver of cased hole wireline work as plug-n-perf is the predominant completion technique utilized in the Eagle Ford. Each frac stage will have an accompanying wireline run to set a plug and perforate to enable the next frac stage.
33
South Texas: Lateral Length
Spears & Associates: Hydraulic Fracturing Market South Texas: Lateral Length Year Average Completed Length of HW 2012 5,015’ 2013 5,407’ 2014 5,829’ 2015 6,000’ South Texas horizontal wells have laterals that range from 3,000’ to 10,000’. The most common lateral length is ~5,500’. Each year operators are drilling laterals 5-10% longer than the prior year. Lateral length of the well bore is a good indicator of how many frac/wireline stages will be utilized per well. Longer lateral lengths also increase the complexity and inherent risks associated with a wireline completion.

Permian Basin The Permian Basin consists of Texas Rail Road Commission Districts 7C, 8 and 8A, along with southeast New Mexico. The Permian Basin has two distinct models of development. The first is in the Midland sub-basin, where vertical drilling still reigns. But while operators have hydraulically fractured vertical wells here since the 1950s, technological advancements are allowing them to drill deeper and tap more formations. Today, companies are using hydraulic fracturing to exploit a series of formations spanning a 4,500-foot vertical zone. Producing reservoirs include the Yates, San Andres, Clear Fork, Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Yeso, Bone Spring, Avalon, Canyon, Morrow, Devonian, and Ellenberger, with depths from a few hundred feet to five miles below the surface. The second development model is in the Delaware sub-basin that stretches from southeastern New Mexico into far West Texas. Production in this area relies on a combination of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling. Delaware drilling is largely focused on the Avalon Shale and the tri-layered Bone Spring sands — although the Wolfcamp formation is also present. The Wolfcamp formation is deeper in the Delaware basin and tends to be gassier. Given the longer reach of horizontal wells as well as the higher number of fracturing stages used to complete them, well costs are a much higher $5 million to $7 million. The Permian remains a fast growing drilling province this year as operators switch from drilling individual vertical wells to horizontal wells off of multiple well pads. This conversion has had a fundamental impact on demand for equipment and services. As a result, investment is pouring into the region to satisfy this remarkable demand.

35
Permian Basin: Description
Spears & Associates: Hydraulic Fracturing Market Permian Basin: Description Since the Permian Basin is characterized by layers of oil-bearing rock stacked one on top of the other for thousands of feet, operators have to make the following choice: Do I drill vertically and tap all the stacked reservoirs, or do I select a single reservoir and tap it with a horizontal well? In the recent past, most operators chose to drill vertically, but half the wells drilled today in the basin are horizontal. Spears has chosen a conservative longer term outlook for Permian Basin oil-directed drilling. If oil prices do not rise significantly, and if the cost of drilling increases, some incentive to drill will be removed. We believe that lingering low oil prices will constrain E&P spending through 2016. The Permian Basin has the largest ratio of vertical to horizontal wells of any US region creating opportunities for open hole logging. Many of these wells require salt based mud systems which require Laterolog type resistivity tools. Spears & Associates, Inc. / Field Logix Series

Permian: Wireline Market Shares
Formation evaluation in Permian is done on the wireline mostly, with a bit of LWD off the drill string. Open hole logging is done in the region, but it is almost exclusively in vertical wells. As the chart to the right indicates, the three majors: Baker Hughes, Halliburton, and Schlumberger have the primary market shares, along with a larger independent, Capitan. Weatherford rounds out the top 75%, followed by more larger independents. Allied Horizontal Wireline, which is commercializing GE’s digital open hole logging technology, has 5% of the market, a 3% increase from last year. A significant portion of wireline work is done in the cased hole. This is reflected in the market shares of the independents, most of whom work exclusively in cased hole environments. Spears & Associates, Inc. / Oilfield Logix Series

Permian Basin Cased hole wireline dominates the wireline work found in the Permian. Most new well wireline work is limited to cement bond longs, plug & perf work and setting packers. With the numerous old wells found in the Permian, remedial wireline work is also common. As shown in the neighboring chart, the region’s wireline market is ~$.7 billion in This is up from just $0.4 billion in The large increases in 2013 and 2014 are due to increased number of horizontal completions The Permian is served by numerous cased hole wireline logging companies.

Permian Basin: Total Measured Deptrh
Vertical well depths in the Permian range from shallow (1,500’) to deep (>17,000’). The chart below shows the depth distribution of several hundred wells drilled in the last few years. Included on the same graph is a distribution of horizontal well depths. The measured depth of horizontal wells has increased recently from ~15,000’ to 22,000’. Although more horizontal wells are being drilled, vertical wells are still a main tool used in the basin. Spears & Associates, Inc. / Oilfield Logix Series

Permian: Lateral Length
Lateral lengths of horizontal wells have been getting longer each year. In 2012 the average length was ~3,900’ and in 2013 the length reached ~4,200’, with a big leap to 5,100’ in 2014. The chart below plots the distribution of horizontal lateral lengths of a couple hundred horizontal wells drilled in the last two years.

Permian Basin: Frac Stages / Well
Shallow Permian Basin wells have 1-2 stages in each frac (typically just 1). Horizontal wells range from 3-13 stages, with the typical horizontal well frac pumping 8-10 stages, but there is a strong trend emerging for stages per well. Frac Stages per well are a direct driver of cased hole wireline work as plug-n-perf is the predominant completion technique utilized in the Eagle Ford. Each frac stage will have an accompanying wireline run to set a plug and perforate to enable the next frac stage. Spears & Associates, Inc. / Oilfield Logix Series
42
East Texas/Haynesville: Description
The East Texas/North Louisiana region includes a wide range of drilling projects, including the Haynesville, which is a deep, hot, high pressure horizontal shale development, and the shallower, old Travis Peak/Cotton Valley reservoirs of East Texas. We also find several shallow reservoirs that have been developed for decades. In Texas, this region includes Rail Road Districts 5 and 6, with a bit of bleed-over into District 3. In Louisiana, the region is primarily found within a 50 mile radius of Shreveport.
43
East Texas/Haynesville
Spears & Associates: Hydraulic Fracturing Market East Texas/Haynesville New well construction in this region is higher than it has been in previous years, hitting almost 3,500 new wells in The market should start to see a significant drop in the coming years as drilling in the US slows down. Horizontal drilling in pursuit of the region’s gas is slowly becoming the more dominant drilling method. ~2,000 horizontal wells were drilled in 2014 and although overall activity will fall off, the majority of wells will still be horizontal/directional.
44
E. Texas: Cased Hole Wireline
Cased hole logging is the primary wireline work found in the region. But for the occasional open hole log taken in a vertical hole, most wireline work is limited to cement bond longs, plug & perf work and setting packers. As shown in the neighboring chart, the region’s wireline market was ~$0.4 billion in This is expected to drop in the next few years. J-W Wireline, now owned by FTI, the frac service company, has the leading cased hole market share. Spears & Associates, Inc. / Oilfield Logix Series
45
E. Texas: Formation Evaluation
Formation evaluation in East Texas/North Louisiana is done off of the drill string, using an openhole wireline log and using mud logging/surface data logging. Schlumberger is the leading formation evaluation service company, followed by Baker Hughes and Halliburton. Several other service companies have been identified.

MidContinent: Description
The Mid Continent spans a region including Western Oklahoma, the Texas Panhandle, and Kansas. And while gas well drilling is depressed in North Texas, we are including that play as well. The area is the site of much production from both deep and shallow conventional reservoirs as well as some emerging unconventional plays: Granite Wash: Tight oil formation located in western Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle. It produces oil, gas, and liquids-rich gas. Key operators in the area include Chesapeake, Apache, Devon, and Cimarex. Mississippi Lime: Tight oil formation centered along the Oklahoma-Kansas border. Barnett Shale: Famous North Texas region that kicked off the unconventional natural gas horizontal development craze. Fayetteville Shale: The successor to the Barnett Shale boom, located across the center portion of Arkansas. Other basins include the Arkoma and Anadarko Basins of Oklahoma, plus several others. MidContinent
49
MidContinent: Description
About 18% of the new wells constructed in the US this year will be in the MidContinent region. With drilling in the natural gas shales depressed due to low natural gas prices and will oil-directed drilling down significantly, this region’s drilling has fallen to about 4,500 new wells per year until rising commodity prices bring oil and gas drilling back to life. Vertical drilling should remain stable at 3,000 new wells per year while horizontal drilling is struggling at less than half its 2014 level.

52
MidContinent: Lateral Length
Completed length of horizontal wells has been getting longer each year. In 2013 the average length was ~4,200’ and in 2015 the length reached ~5,700’. New wells drilled have laterals growing by several hundred feet per year. In 2010 and 2011, operators drilled a large number of laterals shorter than 3,000’ as they experimented with the Mississippi Lime and other new plays. With the maturing of these plays, very few shorter laterals are being drilled. A few very long laterals are appearing – almost 10,000’. This is still too few to be considered a trend.

Bakken/Williston: Description
The Rockies includes the following states: North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. The area is large, the drilling diverse, the activity erratic, but there is no question that it contains one of the most important plays ever to be discovered in the US: The Williston Basin’s Bakken. Bakken: The deep, highly prolific, young play that spans North Dakota, Montana and extends north into two Canadian provinces. This report addresses the US portion. A horizontal play with pad drilling and 10,000’ laterals.
54
Bakken/Williston: Description
About 6% of the new wells constructed in the US this year will be in the Williston Basin, which includes the Bakken. This oil-rich play has captured the attention of oil companies, service companies and investors of all types Total drilling in 2015 will reach ~1,200, of which almost all are Horizontal/Directional. Given low oil and gas prices, the outlook for drilling in 2016 calls for another 10-15% decline, followed by a recovery in 2017. Spears & Associates, Inc. / Oilfield Logix Series
55
Bakken/Williston: Description
Almost $10 billion will be spent in the Bakken during the course of % of the $10 billion will be spent constructing wells, 43% completing wells, and 21% producing wells. Like most US basins, well completion is the largest of the three segments. The top three spend categories are hydraulic fracturing, water management and contract drilling.

Bakken Cased hole wireline dominates the wireline work found in the Bakken. The Bakken is one region in the US that some plug-perf completion work on the horizontal wells has been lost to sliding sleeve type completions. However, it appears that this trend has slowed and may be reverting back to wireline completions. As shown in the neighboring chart, the region’s wireline market is ~$.3 billion in This is down from ~$0.45 billion in We expect an additional decline of ~12% in 2016.

Other Rockies: Description
The Rockies includes the following states: North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. However, this section of the report addresses: Niobrara: A reservoir within the Denver-Julesberg Basin in Eastern Colorado, Eastern Wyoming and a bit of Nebraska. Operators are still trying to determine the optimal way to develop this reservoir with horizontal wells. Western Wyoming: A gas play that still has some large operators drilling wells. Piceance & Uinta: The Western Rockies with vertical drilling through highly tilted rock layers, creating a complicated drilling situation.
60
Other Rockies: Description
Total Rocky Mountain drilling in 2015 will fall to 1,800, of which ~1,100 are horizontal/directional and ~700 are vertical. Drilling has seen a decline since 2012, but the ratio of horizontal to vertical wells is slowly increasing. This report covers drilling in the Niobrara within the Denver-Julesberg Basin, several gas and gas liquids developments in Wyoming, gas plays in Western Colorado and Utah, and a smattering of drilling here and there. Some of the “other” drilling is shallow, vertical coalbed methane work in Wyoming. Spears & Associates, Inc. / Oilfield Logix Series
61
Other Rockies: Description
~$6.7 billion will be spent in the Rockies during the course of % will be spent constructing wells, 35% completing wells, and 28% producing wells. Unlike most US basins, construction is the largest of the three segments. The top three spend categories are water management, hydraulic fracturing and contract drilling.

62
Spears & Associates, Inc. / Oilfield Logix Series
Other Rockies Open hole wireline continues to share a larger part of the activity in the Rockies due to vertical well activity outside the Bakken. One can see the trend to less OH and more CH work in the region as we look into 2014 and beyond as horizontal wells become a larger portion of the market. As shown in the neighboring chart, the region’s wireline market is ~$.4billion in This is about the same as in 2011 but shows a shift away from OH.

Northeast: Description
The Northeast US has several plays both new and old. The two primary states are Ohio and Pennsylvania, plus a bit of West Virginia. This report covers primarily Ohio and Pennsylvania and all drilling in the region. The biggest influencers of drilling and spending, however, are the Utica and the Marcellus, which have driven strong demand growth for horizontal drilling and multiple stage frac jobs. In this region, only the large operators tend to drill horizontal wells. Spears & Associates, Inc. / Oilfield Logix Series
65
Spears & Associates, Inc. / Oilfield Logix Series
Northeast Cased hole wireline dominates the Northeast since plug & perf techniques are preferred on multiple stage frac jobs…and very little formation evaluation is required during the drilling phase. As shown in the neighboring chart, the region’s wireline market is ~$.3 billion in This is down 43% from 2014. A few notable companies operating in the area include: Allied Horizontal Wireline C&J/Cased Hole Solutions JW Wireline (FTS) Superior Renegade Halliburton Schlumberger Weatherford Spears & Associates, Inc. / Oilfield Logix Series
66
Northeast: Frac Stages / Well
Frac stages is one of the metrics regularly quoted by analysts working in this industry. Except for those companies providing plug & perf technologies, this is not a very meaningful statistic. In the Northeast, as many as 40 frac stages have been pumped in a single well. As the table to the right shows, number of stages pumped have been increasing since 2012.

Northeast: Lateral Length
Lateral length of horizontal wells has been getting longer each year, but length in 2013 and 2014 is showing a big jump as more 8-10,000’ laterals are appearing. The chart below plots the distribution of completed lengths of about 100 horizontal wells drilled in the last several years. The longest lateral in each year is 9,000-10,000’, but the average or most frequently drilled lateral is still ~5,000’.

Western: Description California’s oilfields have been actively drilled and produced for decades. The heart of the industry surrounds Bakersfield, with clusters of activity near Los Angeles and the Elk Hills region. Further north in the state lies an active geothermal play. This report does not address that market.

Western The western US continues to be one of the smaller market regions. Most of the activity here will be concentrated in the old Long Beach and Bakersfield area oil fields. As shown in the neighboring chart, the region’s wireline market is ~$.3 billion in This is up 50% from 2011. A few notable companies operating in the area include: Tiger Wireline (C&J Wireline) Halliburton Schlumberger Weatherford Spears & Associates, Inc. / Oilfield Logix Series
70
Western: Lateral Length
Lateral length of horizontal wells has been getting longer each year, but California has the nation’s shortest horizontal wellbores (average length). Average completed length was 1,200’ in 2014, up significantly from 2011, but most wells tend to be less than 1,000’ long. Year Average Completed Length of HW 2012 1,000’ 2013 1,100’ 2014 1,200’ Updated* Spears & Associates, Inc. / Oilfield Logix Series
71
Western: Frac Stages / Well
With relatively short horizontal laterals and with wellbore configurations that tend to be vertical, the number of frac stages per well tends to be lower than most other regions. The graph below shows that most wells have 1-4 frac stages. Longer laterals should promote more growth in this area, but with such a large decline in drilling activity, it could take several years for this growth to occur.

Wireline: Supply Chain
75
Wireline Supply Chain There are five major components to the Wireline Supply Chain Wireline Cable A consumable downhole product used by wireline companies to deploy and retrieve tools in a wellbore. The cable is constructed such that two layers of helically wound steel (typically) wires surround one or more insulated conductors (nominally copper). The conductor carries the electrical power and communication signals to and from the downhole tools while the outer steel layers provide protection to the conductor(s) and the mechanical strength necessary to deploy the tools in and out of the wellbore. Wireline Units (Trucks and Skids) Downhole Wireline Tools CH OH Wireline Data Acquisition Systems Perforating Supplies Related/Support Products & Services Pressure Control Equipment and Rental
76
Wireline as a Consumable
The wireline is an essential part of the wireline operation. Open Hole units typically have one cable installed on the winch while a cased hole unit may have one or two cables. Each wireline unit in operation must have at least one serviceable cable installed and in a condition acceptable to running in and out of the wellbore. The action of running the cable in and out of the well produces wear and tear on the cable. Historically, a CH cable may last 12 – 18 months dependent on conditions, care and frequency of use. Open hole cables, under normal conditions, with proper care and maintenance may last 18 – 30 months. Currently, CH cables used in pump-down operations have a shortened life of 6 – 10 months due to much higher utilization rates, service intensity and the wear and tear imposed by the pump-down process. More extreme well environments also contribute to shorter life The end of the wireline connected to the downhole tools experiences the most wear and is subsequently cut off and discarded on a frequent basis. Thus, a wireline gets progressively shorter during its life and is eventually retired from use when it is too short for regional conditions or other damage and wear factors render the cable unusable. Cables can be repaired and or spliced to “rescue” a cable damaged during use. Local conditions and practices determine the extent to which repairs are acceptable.
77
Wireline Cable Typical Configuration
Insulation Material used largely defines maximum temperature rating from 300 to 600 ℉ Conductor (nominally copper) Single conductor for CH cable 7 conductors for OH cable Outer Armor Outer Armor Inner Armor Wireline cable is manufactured to create one piece cables in typical lengths from 20,000’ to 30,000’ Diameters range from .185” to .425” for CH work (single conductor) and .325” to .522” for OH (multi conductor) cables Breaking strength varies from 1,000 lbs to > 30,000 lbs and is largely determined by the cables’ outside diameter. Inner Armor Insulation Conductor Cable Cross Section View
78
Wireline as a Consumable
Factors determining the life-span of a wireline: Wellbore conditions – Corrosive fluids can damage and weaken the steel armor. Special cable metallurgy can combat this increased wear. Conveyance type – Wireline cable was designed to be under tension during operation. Pump-down or other conveyance methods which place the cable under compression place additional wear and tear on the cable Maintenance – Cables that receive periodic maintenance are proven to have longer life spans Installation – Proper installation of new cables onto the drum is essential to providing expected cable life spans Wireline Pricing: A standard CH cable averages ~ $1.00 per linear foot of cable A standard OH cable averages ~$2.00 per foot A standard Mechanical Cable averages ~ $.50 per foot Corrosive resistant cables can cost > $10.00 per foot

80
Wireline Distribution
Wirelines in North America are sold through distributor networks. The distributors are typically small, privately held regional companies. Distributors maintain on hand stock of various wirelines to be readily available. Distributors normally sell the wireline and receive a commission from the cable manufacturer. Distributors provide necessary aftermarket services: Installation of new wirelines Repair services Maintenance services Cleaning Cable Lubrication Cable Tightening and Tensioning

Perforating
84
Perforating Market Spears expects the switches segment to have a higher growth rate as the industry continues to adopt RF (radio frequency) safe, digitally addressable switches to further enhance safety, reliability and efficiency of perforating systems. The perforating market, addressable from the US*, grows and shrinks along with the wireline market. Extra growth has been added by the increased cased hole service intensity required by the horizontal unconventional reservoirs. The 2014 $260 million perforating charge market represents approximately 37 million charges. If we include charges produced and utilized in China & Russia there are approximately 64 million charges sold in 2014. Spears estimated that two-thirds of the global demand could be found in North America. This is due to the type of drilling and completion work found in the US and Canada. Other parts of the world will use fewer perforating shots due to generally higher quality reservoirs being developed. *Does not include the perforating charges and systems supplied from China and Russia. China and Russia together supply an estimated 27 million perforating charges annually in 2014.
85
Perforating Market Titan and Owens supply the market with > 40% of the charges required. Both have extensive warehouses throughout the US and supply the majors as well as independent wireline companies.

Data Acquisition Systems
There is only one story to tell regarding the data acquisition systems available and that is of Scientific Data Systems. SDS developed a PC based cased hole logging system in 1993 and it has evolved into the de facto standard in logging systems available to the independent wireline company around the world. The Warrior Well Logging System (as marketed by SDS) has both open hole and cased hole capabilities and is compatible with virtually all types of downhole tools available from the various tool suppliers. Schlumberger, Baker, Halliburton and Weatherford utilize proprietary systems but Warrior systems will be found within all these majors. The data system acts as the “brains” of a logging unit and consists of both hardware and software. In the Warrior System, most of the value resides in the software. 2015 – 3rd Party Data Acquisition System Estimated Market Size - $9 million

Pressure Control Equipment
90
Pressure Control Equipment
Pressure Control Equipment is utilized during a wireline operation. The equipment allows the wireline to move in and out of the well while maintaining a pressure seal at the well head. Quite often, cased hole wireline operations are performed with pressure present at the well head so that well productivity is not damaged or otherwise compromised. The carton to the right and more detailed drawing on the far right show typical well head wireline PCE gear.

High Pressure Wireline Equipment Rental
Wireline service providers historically have provided much of the low pressure (< 5,000 psi at well-head) pressure control equipment (PCE) required during a wireline job. Most land and offshore wireline companies choose to own and utilize this “low Pressure” PCE as a matter of convenience and economics. A set of 5k PCE gear can be purchased for $75k and will generally achieve payback in a matter of months. Third party suppliers, are relied upon to provide the specialized equipment and personnel required on a high pressure (15k psi at well head). The mid-pressure (10k psi at well head) is a mixed market with some wireline companies providing the equipment and others relying on third party providers. A typical wireline pressure control kit includes: wireline BOP, Pack-Off, Grease Injector Pump and Hoses, Grease Head and Flow Tubes, Lubricator, Tool Trap and/or Head Catcher. Kits are supplied to match pressure requirements but typical working pressures are 5,000 psi, 10,000 psi or 15,000 psi. Why do wireline providers choose third party PCE for high pressure jobs? High pressure gear is considerably more expensive. A set of 15k gear can cost in excess of $250k. Lower utilization rates of this class of equipment precludes ownership and maintenance. High pressure gear requires constant maintenance and certification. This required activity detracts from the wireline company’s focus of service performance at the wellsite. Safety on a high pressure job is at a premium. The risks increase substantially where high pressure exists at the wellhead. It is difficult for a wireline company with low utilization rates of high pressure PCE to provide a person whose full time task is PCE service operator. Provision of a PCE service operator with 100% focus and training on the high pressure task is the only appropriate response to this requirement. Recognizing the above, it is not unusual for the well operator to require third party provision of high pressure PCE gear and service.

US Drivers: Rig Efficiency
The exciting story in US drilling, and particularly on land, is rig efficiency. As seen in the adjacent chart, vertical well rig efficiency has increased 31% for a CAGR of 7% from 2011 to Although the efficiency has improved, both the vertical rig count and vertical wells drilled are declining. Horizontal well rig efficiency has increased 33% over the same period. This is ~7% CAGR in efficiency for the period The increased Horizontal well rig efficiency is a direct driver of increased cased hole wireline services in all regions. It also appears that growth in horizontal rig efficiency has slowed or stopped in the near term. Source: Spears & Associates’ DPO September 2015

Offshore New Wells in the US
While the U.S. land continues to drive much of the drilling activity, offshore activity climbed from it’s low point in 2010 of approximately 500 new wells in 2014 before falling again in 2015. Source: Spears & Associates’ DPO September 2015
106
Horizontal & Vertical New Wells in the US
Since 2009, drilling in the US has fundamentally changed. Prior to 2009, oil and gas producers drilled vertical wells and only drilled horizontal wells offshore and in a handful of natural gas shale plays. The slow down of 2009 gave producers free time to evaluate their drilling opportunities and most concluded that their future would consist of drilling horizontal wells in all types of oil-bearing rock. Vertical drilling has been in decline and horizontal drilling has grown. Although vertical wells will always be in the portfolio of drilling techniques, horizontal is now broadly adopted and embraced by all types of exploration and production companies in North America. This shift in drilling has led to a decline in open hole logging, onshore in the US. Many vertical wells obtain open hole logs while virtually all horizontal wells in the unconventional basins do not. Source: Spears & Associates’ DPO September 2015
