underserviced market - PNG

Corporate StrategyHigh Arctic Energy Services looks to be the market leader in chosen specialty niche markets – defined by either location or service offerings

Canada• Leading provider of snubbing services

in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB)

• Leading provider of low rate nitrogen services in the WCSB

• Strategically positioned to capitalize on servicing longer horizontal high pressure wells – both gas & oil

• Looking to expand service offerings and/or service locations

Papua New Guinea• Leading oil field service provider in

the country• Services include;

– Drilling services & camp management– Mat, camp and equipment rentals

• Strategically positioned to capitalize on the rapidly expanding capital investments being made in the country

• Is the preferred service vendor to Oil Search Ltd. – with opportunities to leverage services into new markets

Canadian Operations

• Snubbing units – 15 stand alone units and 5 rig assist units• 3 underbalanced workover rigs – UB 250k• 1 high rate and 11 low rate nitrogen pumpers• 5 nitrogen transporters

Canadian Service Offerings1. Snubbing

– See slides 8 and 9

2. Underbalanced Workover Rig (UB 250k)– Many multi-fracked horizontal well bores in excess of 5,000 meters cannot be completed

with coil tubing due to frictioning out. The UB 250k can be utilized to mill out bridge plugs in excess of 6,000 meters requiring a single trip

– Many SAGD wells require some sort of pushing or pulling of the production string – Potential new market for existing technology

3. Nitrogen – Nitrogen is a non-hydrocarbon inert gas commonly used on the same wellbores as snubbing– Common uses for nitrogen in the drilling process include:

• coiled tubing cleanouts, frac cleanouts, wellbore pressure testing, vessel purging, hydrocarbon blanketing

What is Snubbing?• Snubbing is the use of hydraulic force to push pipe against the snub force created by the well

pressure. The push force is required until the total tubing weight is greater than snub force excreted on the tubing

• The pushing capacity of the snubbing unit is also useful on long horizontal legs where the gravitational weight of the pipe decreases as the horizontal length increases. This is due to increased friction of metal on metal

• Unlike coiled tubing – snubbing uses jointed tubing. The stronger jointed tubing allows the snubbing unit to rotate the tubing/drill string, decreasing friction in wellbores and ultimately reaching depths that coil cannot attain

• Snubbing permits live operations without killing the well, saving on unnecessary services, mud fluids, well stimulations and avoid formation damage bringing the well on stream much quicker

• Required on multi stage frac completions and high pressure oil and liquids rich gas wells which are fracked and completed under pressure

• Snubbing units are multipurpose – completion strings, fishing, milling, sidetracking, composite bridge plug drill outs, plug and abandonment and tool movement

Where is Snubbing Required?

Producing Wells• Allows work over operations on live wells without the use of damaging kill fluids• Recompletion of aged wells. Snubbing is the most common method to install smaller

diameter tubing strings under pressure to increase the flowing velocity in depleted wellbores

New Drills• Directional drilling and multi stage fracking creates demand for snubbing services in North

America because wells are completed in underbalanced conditions• High pressure liquids rich wells (Montney, Horn River, Duvernay, etc) and many high pressure

oil wells (Duvernay, Bakken, Cardium) may also require snubbing• Sensitive well formations – working in an underbalanced state. No formation damaging fluids

required

Abandonments• Whenever pressure may be present, cost effective mobilization and rig ups
