PRESSURE PUMPING MARKET UPDATE Staffing experienced crews is a critical challenge faced by pressure pumping service providers The Quality vs. Quantity Dilemma ■ Completion increases = HHP increases = Frac crew increases = Need for trained staff!! ■ North American pressure pumping industry is expanding rapidly (~20% YoY increase 2010-2011) and needs to add new hires to meet expansion targets ■ Major increases in completions require major increases in frac crews, for example: - Typical 25K HHP frac fleet in the Bakken requires 2-3 crews of 30 staff = 60 – 90 experienced employees - PacWest forecasts an increase in frac fleets in the Bakken from 38 fleets (May 2011) to 52 fleets (year-end 2011) = 840-1,260 experienced employees ■ Fact: Critical driver of oilfield safety = experienced staff ■ Problem: There are no more experienced field workers left; pumpers are forced to manage deployment of large numbers of inexperienced employees Client Confidential © PacWest 2011 | All rights reserved | 24

PRESSURE PUMPING MARKET UPDATE Pressure pumpers are deploying equipment and staff from other regions when possible, but there are limitations to this approach Frac Fleet Redeployment Few Existing Deployment Options Majority of US Fleets dedicated  Pumpers are deploying staff and Pressure Pumper % Dedicated equipment from nearby plays BJ Services 50%  However, the prevalence of dedicated Cudd 60% contracts and ‘take-or-pay’ Frac Tech 70% relationships is constraining the Schlumberger 60%-70% number of available staff and Pumpco 74% equipment for redeployment Superior 80%-90% Roughly 60-65% of fleets dedicated ■ For example: Calfrac has redeployed frac fleets from its Colorado base to the Bakken but it still does not have a sufficient facilities for major maintenance so it drives frac trucks back to Colorado every 1-2 months to service equipment Client Confidential © PacWest 2011 | All rights reserved | 25

PRESSURE PUMPING MARKET UPDATE Most pressure pumpers depend heavily on non-local employees to meet staffing needs Pressure Pumping “flex crews” ■ Flex crews = non-local employees working at a local base on a temporary basis ■ Flex crews typically spend 2-3 weeks working 17 hours or more per day and then have 1-2 weeks off before returning to the local base ■ All service companies have reported using flex crews to some degree - Larger companies (e.g. Halliburton) often meet half of their staffing needs with flex crews in some areas - Smaller new entrants are sometimes forced to depend entirely on flex crews ■ Companies trying to hire locally, but there are few suitable potential hires in many hot areas (e.g. Eagle Ford, Bakken) ■ Pumpers have admitted that they will never be able to eliminate flex crews entirely in more remote areas Client Confidential © PacWest 2011 | All rights reserved | 26

PRESSURE PUMPING MARKET UPDATE There are significant differences in the commitment of pressure pumping companies to safety Employee Training & Management … Training Staff Deployment  All pressure pumpers have training  More important is how companies programs to orient ‘greenhats’ to the balance the deployment of oilfield and provide them with the inexperienced employees vs. basic knowledge and skills to safely experienced employees in a crew and effectively operate frac  Good = Majority experienced equipment employees + minority inexperienced,  Programs vary widely in structure, which provides mentors upon which duration, and effectiveness greenhats can depend  However, no training programs can  Bad = Minority experienced + majority substitute for solid field experience inexperienced… a recipe for disaster ■ For example: A former Sanjel employee in the Bakken reports often being deployed in crews where the majority of staff had less than two months of oilfield experience - Outcome: Multiple cases of splitting iron and debilitating injuries Client Confidential © PacWest 2011 | All rights reserved | 27

PRESSURE PUMPING MARKET UPDATE … but supply chain constraints are holding back the deployment of new equipment and the ability to consistently supply pumping services Bakken Supply Chain Constraints Logistics ■ Railway (primarily BNSF) import capacity into the Bakken is limited for all products, particularly proppant due to the large volumes required (1 railcar has capacity of 200K lbs of proppant; average 3 million lbs frac job requires 15 railcars) Proppant ■ Global proppant consumption has reached unprecedented levels and most domestic producers are essentially sold out of product ■ Greatest constraint is in 20/40 raw sand Guar ■ Demand has reached record highs and the guar supply chain is not highly responsive due to its length (90% of raw guar seed grown in rural India) Equipment ■ Manufacturers of pumping equipment reporting order backlogs of up to 1 year Labor ■ Local labor force in the Bakken is limited and unemployment is extremely low Client Confidential © PacWest 2011 | All rights reserved | 33

PRESSURE PUMPING MARKET UPDATE The Bakken supply/demand imbalance is not expected to improve drastically anytime soon so operators must contract accordingly Implications for Contracting Strategy in the Bakken ■ It is important to be proactive to develop long-term solutions rather than short-term fixes, while considering other infrastructure challenges ■ Operators should include terms in contract to incentivize for safety improvements, performance improvement ■ Avoid safety incidents by forcing service companies to provide their best crews, when possible ■ Consider using greenhat clauses or crew continuity incentives, similar to drilling contracts Client Confidential © PacWest 2011 | All rights reserved | 36
