CoResource Solutions – Technology Review
Turning oilfield “waste” into our most valuable resource… Water.
2
The Oil Industry’s Water Challenge
Traditional oil industry avoidance of water processing is expensive & risks environmental issues Truck hauling of water to offsite injection wells can be expensive Dealing with permits and drilling costs for a new disposal/injection well can be prohibitive and risks production shut in or over-pressuring on your injection well Surface discharge of fluid often does not meet regulatory specs Industry’s current water treatment processes are operating and/or capital cost intensive AND often incomplete Plates or cartridges reduce flow, and require much more maintenance Flocculants that only remove suspended solids, without a specific ability to target free hydrocarbons are incomplete solutions Desalination without removal of solids and hydrocarbons uses much more energy and consumables is very problematic CoResource has a Constant Flow, Low Cost, Low Maintenance SOLUTION

The CoResource PATENTED Technology Micro-encapsulating Flocculating Dispersion (MFD)
Video URL Start – Oily Water Samples MFD Process Begins – Nanopolymer begins grabbing Hydrocarbons MFD Completed – Hydrocarbons bound up in the nanopolymer, naturally settled either to top or bottom for removal MFD Nanoparticles Provides very large reactive surface area Leads to rapid and efficient chemistry Binds to FREE OIL and suspended solids Additional chemicals bind into a bulk flocculant The Technology Enables Low chemical dosage rates per barrel Low treatment cost per barrel Custom solutions for the unique chemistry of each water sample
4
The CoResource Patented Nanopolymer Scavenger Grabs Suspended Hydrocarbons and Solids in Water
Patented nanopolymer hydrocarbon scavenger, when mixed with oily water rapidly attaches to nearby carbon based molecules producing a pin-flocculant, which is then rapidly settled by creating a larger bulk flocculant. Active sites grab the suspended oil and solids in water The oil and solids are removed with the nanoparticles
5
MFD Captured Hydrocarbons and Solids are Settled and then Removed
After settling, the bulk flocculant containing the nanopolymer and the hydrocarbons are removed from the water along with any other remaining solids. Clean Water Flocculant After adding an activator and conditioner, the MFD Molecules aggregate to form the bulk flocculant, which settles, leaving clean water

The CoResource Continuous Flow Water Process Patented nanopolymer enables efficient and economical oil and solids removal Step 1 - Oily water (separated from produced oil) is pumped into a patent pending mixing unit with a customized chemical program that includes the patented nanopolymer hydrocarbon scavenger. Step 2 - This unique nanopolymer is mixed into the oily water to bind with hydrocarbons and solid contaminants, and does so more efficiently than most other competitors. Step 3 - Additional chemicals are added to create a bulk flocculant that gathers the nanopolymer containing the hydrocarbons and solids pulled from the water. Step 4 - After settling, the bulk flocculant is removed. Step 5 - The remaining water is run through a back-flushable filter to capture any residual flocculant, leaving water suitable for reuse, release, or desalination if required. Step 6 - If desalination is required, then the system will include equipment (such as reverse osmosis or alternative technologies) to perform this step. The result is water with significantly reduced levels of salt that is suitable for reuse or surface release, and a high salinity brine with market value. Step 7 – Usable End Products: The biodegradable bulk flocculant removed from the water can be composted, or used as a component of aggregate in road construction.

Valuable End Products Can create an unheard of ZERO waste oilfield operation
Produced Water after Processing Residual Oil < 1 ppm Solids < 1 NTU Clean Water: Hydrocarbons and solids removed Great for industrial purpose or reuse in drilling, fracking Surface release or Desalination After Desalination: “Reverse Osmosis” or other technology Desalinated Water: Suitable for surface release or reuse – constructed wetlands, irrigation, industrial processes Concentrated Brine: US Clear Brine industry market size was valued at $870 million in according to Global Market Insights. Bulk Flocculant End Use Use in Concrete Aggregate for Well Pads, Well Casings, Roads, and Jersey Barriers sold to public and private entities Composting or “land farming” the flocculant

Intellectual Property Strategy
Patent and Patent Pending Patent: Micro-encapsulating Flocculating Dispersion (MFD) Strategy: to Expand Rights beyond US and Canada Patent Number: – July 6, 2010 Description: Creating and using of nanopolymer to attach to a contaminant Patent Pending: OSR System - Filed July 1, 2015 Possible Future Technologies Proprietary Desalination Process – Lower Energy and Cost Future Applications that may be possible Refineries Bilge Water Emergency Management Systems
12
On-Shore Applications
Clean Produced and Flow Back Water from Ongoing Production Provide clean produced water for reuse in drilling, completions, fracking, and workovers Cleaning Oil Spills Other Industrial Applications, including Refineries
13
Off-Shore Applications
The Oil and Solids Removal system provides a small footprint in order to be mounted on a ship or off- shore rig. Uses Initial Focus: Pipeline Remediation programs Next Step: Expect water management service contracts for drilling and production platforms in the next rounds of bidding. The CoResource system is being considered for emergency processing of oil/hazardous waste spills in the Gulf and Inland waterways.

Environmental Solutions are Smart Business
Surface discharge saves significant costs vs. disposal Surface release of treated water (where applicable) creates a new fresh water resource Environmentally sensitive water processing solutions promote a more positive relationship with landowners and local stakeholders Technology that is inherently regulatory compliant leads to increased production opportunities and lower supervision costs Positive corporate image ZERO WASTE has a significant financial impact on bottom line

Environmental Solutions
CoResource created a wetland in Custer MT. From completion to today, this site has processed almost 1 million bbls for surface release with a positive impact on the environment.
