Bringing Value to Russian FederationFracturing Business:

The Combination ofRight Equipment and Fluid Chemistry



How Weatherford Brings Value to Fracturing in Russia

• Fit for Purpose Equipment

– Small or Tight Locations (Limited Space)

– Extreme Operating Temperatures

– Meet Russian Federation Road Weight and Size Limits

– Minimize Oil Fields Delays due to Road Conditions

• Optimized Fluid Chemistry

– Able to Mix on the Fly in Winter Conditions

– Low Gel Polymer Concentrations



Compact & Automated Siberian Field Equipment

• All units on location must be monitored and controlled form a

central monitoring Vehicle

• State-of-the-Art pumping equipment built to Siberian

Specifications

• Computer-controlled, programmable blenders

• State of the art Chemical Trucks - fully automated

• All fleets will be Mix on the Fly Capable

• Minimize Water Heating in the winter with Boiler Units

– Fast and Effective.



Extreme Operating Temperatures

• All Equipment Winterized– Winterization Kits on all

Equipment for smooth operation

• Synthetic Oils for all Lubrication

– Allows to extend min. operating temperature by 4º C

• Winterized Support Equipment

– Insulated Frac. Tanks– Heated Chemical Units



Road Weight and Size LimitsDelays due to Road Conditions

• Compact Equipment that:– Meets Road Weight limits– Meets Road size limits– Minimizes foot print on location– Does not sacrifice Efficiency and/or HHP (Hydraulic Horse Power)

• Custom made Equipment– All wheel drive Equipment to handle field road conditions– Body Load Units for:

• Maneuverability in tight locations• Minimization of space on location• Optimization of River Transport in certain fields



Optimized Fluid Chemistry

• Efficiency is the Key for Russian Fracturing Market

• Continuous Mixing

– Reduces time on location by an average of 7 - 10 hrs per 100 Ton Job

– Conventional Slurry Gels pour points are not suitable for Extreme Cold Conditions

• Decrease the Pour Point Temperature of Slurry gels to allow Continuous mixing

– All Liquid Additives maximizes efficiency

• Reduce Polymer Loadings

– Not sacrificing fluid performance

– Maximize Viscosity with reduced polymer to optimize proppant transport



Efficiency is the Key Value for Weatherford’s Fracturing Business in Siberia

• Built for Purpose Equipment

– Compact Fracturing Equipment - Without sacrificing equipment performance

– Winter Operations

• Extend temperature operating limits

• Support Equipment to meet winterized specifications

– Efficient – Quick, mobile and meets Russian Federation road weight and size limitations

• Optimized Fluid Chemistry

– Mix on the fly all the time – Lower Gel Pour Points

– Minimize Gel Loadings – Without sacrificing fluid performance

– Liquid additives for fracturing efficiency
