How a well is drilled impacts slug flow Terrain based slugging Toe-up • Large gas bubble forms at toe • Gas bubble eventually becomes unstable and releases in violent manner • Large, extended gas flow periods Wellbore Undulations • Liquid traps compound slugging • Liquid traps do not create material pressure drops, rather they exacerbate slugging • As wells get longer, impact more pronounced © HEAL Systems, 2017 | 3
Horizontal Well Trends (Longer Wells) © HEAL Systems, 2017 | 4
Horizontal Well Trends Higher Proppant Intensity More Stages per Frac Source: Rystad, June 2017 © HEAL Systems, 2017 | 5
Horizontal Well Trends • Tighter spacing • No longer drilling for land retention, now pad drilling, multi-zone, infill drilling, parent-child pressure issues, and re-fracking Source: Encana Corporation Permian Update, Slide 9, June 20, 2017, http: //bit. ly/2 u.

Horizontal Well Trends (Overall) • Taken together, longer wells, more intense fracs and downspacing will exacerbate slugging tendencies and frac hit issues Source: Rystad, June 2017 © HEAL Systems, 2017 | 7
HEAL Slickline System: Offset Well Frac Hit Protection • Infill drilling and downspacing causing more frac hits • Expensive problem based on avoidance or remediation • Some operators remove all downhole completions, including artificial lift systems to install isolation packers • Is there a method to set a deep well barrier without a tubing move?

HEAL Slickline System: Offset Well Frac Hit Protection Rod Pump Frac Hit Protection • Well is on production with rod pump and HEAL Slickline System • Slickline HEAL Separator Mandrel in place • Casing is open for separated gas • HEAL System protects pump from gas and solids, as well as maximizes production drawdown Formation Fluids (Oil, Water, Gas) Insert Pump Separated Gas Oil / Water • When an offset well is fractured there is a risk of a frac-hit with the wellbore. Consequences can include severe artificial lift system damage, productivity loss due to wellbore filling with frac sand, and a well control event with excessive pressures at surface • Pull pump and rods from well • Slickline unit pulls HEAL Separator Mandrel and installs a standard X profile Blanking Plug/Prong in Slickline Separator • With a deep barrier in the well, the frac hit risks and consequences are mitigated • Post offset well frac, the procedure is reversed and well is placed back on production Separated Solids HEAL Slickline Separator c/w Separator Mandrel HEAL Slickline Separator c/w Blanking Plug/Prong (horizontal wellbore is isolated from tubing above separator) SRS HEAL Seal © HEAL Systems, 2017 | 16
HEAL Slickline System: NF to Plunger Lift to RP Natural Flow Plunger Lift • HEAL Slickline Separator Flow Through configuration installed (HEAL Slickline Separator is bypassed) • Extends natural flow period as SRS lifts fluids around bend and delays the onset of liquid loading • Casing is closed Formation Fluids (Oil, Water, Gas) Separated Gas Oil / Water Separated Solids HEAL Slickline Separator c/w Flow Through Configuration • Reconfigure to plunger lift configuration (install bumper spring, HEAL Separator Mandrel and standing valve) • Plunger Lift similar to conventional • Bumper spring landed shallower to improve efficiency; enables more cycles per day allows for lower GLR • Casing is closed (unless gas assist required) • SRS discharges to annulus at HEAL Slickline Separator and maintains continuous flow; liquid builds up in annulus, not in production tubing Plunger Bumper Spring HEAL Slickline Separator c/w Separator Mandrel Rod Pump • If required, can transition to rod pump without pulling tubing • Retrieve bumper spring, HEAL Separator Mandrel and standing valve • Re-install HEAL Separator Mandrel • RIH with insert pump and rods into upper nipple profile • Casing is open for separated gas • HEAL System protects pump from gas and solids, as well as maximizes production drawdown.

Summary HEAL Slickline System is an economic frac-hit solution. Mitigating Slug flow from the horizontal adds value • Solids control • Efficiency as separators and pumps like smooth flow • Drawdown reliably maximized HEAL Slickline System offers additional value of reduced CAPEX and OPEX: • Inter-wellbore communication or frac-hit risk mitigation • Extension of natural flow period • Simpler and lower cost transition to artificial lift • Simpler and lower cost transitions between artificial lift systems © HEAL Systems, 2017 | 19
