Exclusive North American rights to patented Verdisys Lateral Drilling Services (VLDS) Technology works in both Oil and Gas Wells Technology works in both newly-drilled wells and low-volume or shut-in wells Technology can economically increase hydrocarbon production Potential $20 billion + market opportunity What We Do


 

Target Market 99% of U.S. natural gas supply produced in N. American Fields Demand growing 2 1/2% per year and supply is depleting Estimated that up to 85% of known reserves in N. America are still in the ground Verdisys Lateral Drilling Services (VLDS) technology can potentially unlock an additional 15-20% Estimated that up to 500,000 low-production or shut-in wells are immediate candidates

Competitive Production Enhancement Options


 

How It Works Ultra-high water pressure drilling process Drills 2" bores up to 700 feet laterally from existing well bores Turns from vertical to horizontal within 12 inches inside existing well shaft Bores are drilled using stainless steel or flexible tubing Tubing is removed after each bore is drilled

Historical Production Increases Historical Production Increases


 

Current Production Increases Currently drilling gas fields in Monroe, LA Have drilled 35 wells in the last 90 days Formerly shut-in wells (zero production) are averaging over 100,000 cu. ft. per day Several examples of 1,000% increases


 

Business Model Base price is $65,000 per well plus 70% participation Includes up to 4 laterals Additional laterals $3750.00 each Typically includes over 50% of the back-end production royalties after drilling $130,000 + per well Includes up to 4 laterals No back-end production royalties $80,000 per well plus 50% participation Verdisys receives 90% of cash flow until $80,000 drilling cost is received 50% thereafter


 

Metrics Number of Drilling Rigs in Service Currently have 6 rigs in service Cost approx. $170k to manufacture from standard oilfield services components Goal is 7 by year-end 2003 and 15 by year-end 2004 Each rig requires a 3-man crew Number of wells drilled per rig Wells can be drilled in 2-3 days Goal is 10 wells per month per rig
