1 Eliminate Routine Well Site Checking

2 Backgrounder Advanced Flow Technology – Calgary, Alberta – 7 Years in gas well monitoring – 1 year oil well monitoring – Patented technologies using temperature and acoustics Len Johnson – 30 years’ CEO technology companies – Last company: Advanced Measurements Inc.

3 Goals Validation of potential in US market – We know the Great White North, but.. Beta Test Partner – Fall time frame

4 Well Site Visits Over 700,000 oil wells in North America – Majority low production, manually monitored – 50% of operator time spent checking! Is the well producing as expected? – Pump Working? – Fluid being produced? – At the expected levels Is there a leak at the well head?

5 Well Monitoring Choices: SCADA Controller : $10k-$25kBert: Have Truck Will Travel: $800 per well/month

6 Filling the Gap Field based system – Low Cost ($3,000 range) – Self Powered – Easy to Install: Any well, anywhere – Cellular Network for communication – Class 1 Div 1 – All weather conditions

7 Information Easy to access and understand – Simple – Available from Smart Phone, Computer… Provides answers to basic questions: – Pump working, – well producing at expected levels, – not leaking Manage by exception

8 Manage by Exception Green = all systems go Yellow = maybe a problem Red= go to the well Click on an icon to drill down for well status

9 Is the Pump Working?

10 Is the pump working?

11 Is Fluid Being Produced?

12 Is Fluid being produced? ΔT = VariableΔT = 0 FlowingNot Flowing

13 Normal : Well Producing

14 Reduced Flow

15 Well Down

16 Delta T: Simple but powerful Any flow change – Flow trends easily spotted Sub-surface problems spotted in near real time Big reduction in requirement to trouble shoot – Fluid shots, putting wells on test

17 Is It Leaking?

18 Considerations for Leak Detection Accurate detection of leaks – 0 false negatives – Very limited tolerance for false positives Timely – Within hours

19 Not a Problem

20 Problem?

21 Problem

22 Leak Notification Green well, all good Sliding scale for notification – Notify when somewhat oily? – Notify only when visit is required? – Different levels of notification for field vs. office?

23 Benefits of Reduced Visits Lower Costs – 50% of operator time spent on routine checking – Leak remediation costs reduced Fewer Safety Incidents Higher Production – Problems spotted immediately – Operator time shifted from problem finding to problem solving

24 Summary The pump is working Fluid is being produced – At the expected level There is no leak Do we need to send a guy to the well?

25 The Ask 2-3 parties to advise and assist Some personnel time required in field 5-10 wells each Fall for field beta test
