PRESSURE PUMPING MARKET UPDATE

Manufacturers of pressure pumping equipment are operating at full capacity and are experiencing order backlogs up to 1-yr for critical parts
Frac Pump Backlogs

Weir SPM
Backlog currently extends into 2012 Q1, with lead times close to 1 year New Destiny pump line at capacity for 2011 as of late July Growth driven largely by OE orders, which were 180% ahead of plan; now account for 55% of input vs. 36% 1 year ago Early 2012 customer discussions positive; potential for frac pump business to be $500MM+ in H2
Source: PacWest analysis Client Confidential

Gardner Denver
Backlog current extends into 2012 Q1 and backlogs are currently at record highs Have seen 100%+ YoY increase in both pump and fluid end orders

FMC
Backlog extends into 2012 with nearly 40% of 2012 capacity tentatively committed, though expect to see some of 2012 demand released in H2 Fluid Control backlog currently at a record $421MM Currently looking at 9-12 month lead time for pumps and 2-4 weeks for flow iron

Current OE/AM mix stands around 75/25; expect to be 60/40 in 1-2 years
Management is concerned frac unit and component, particularly engines, constraints holding back pressure pumping market growth

Manufacturers are responding with major capital investments to fuel capacity expansions, and other actions to satisfy demand
Frac Pump Capacity Expansion Initiatives

Weir SPM
Capital Investments
In midst of $40MM upgrade to Ft. Worth facility; increase pump capacity 30-35% by Apr 2012 Just announced incremental $75MM investment; increase pump capacity additional 20-25% by EOY 2012 Implemented lean mfg. and reengineered processes Extended H1 capacity 20-25% through outsourcing components, reliance on 3rd party machining
Client Confidential

Gardner Denver
Halfway through $20MM upgrade of Fort Worth and Tulsa pump manufacturing facilities; doubling capacity by Apr 2012 Aggressively increasing aftermarket fluid end capacity; already doubled YoY and plan on another doubling in next year Implemented lean mfg. to increase throughput

FMC
Unclear what portion of a $200MM spend is going towards pump capacity expansion Portion of pump capacity expansions coming online in H2, with full completion targeted for year-end Flowline capacity expansions coming online in H2 Expanding use of machine tools around the world to extend frac pump capacity

New Entrants

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
Pumpers are deploying staff and equipment from nearby plays However, the prevalence of dedicated contracts and take-or-pay relationships is constraining the number of available staff and equipment for redeployment

Majority of US Fleets dedicated


Pressure Pumper BJ Services Cudd Frac Tech Schlumberger Pumpco Superior % Dedicated 50% 60% 70% 60%-70% 74% 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

PRESSURE PUMPING MARKET UPDATE

There are significant differences in the commitment of pressure pumping companies to safety
Employee Training & Management

Training

Staff Deployment
More important is how companies balance the deployment of inexperienced employees vs. experienced employees in a crew Good = Majority experienced employees + minority inexperienced, which provides mentors upon which greenhats can depend Bad = Minority experienced + majority inexperienced a recipe for disaster

All pressure pumpers have training programs to orient greenhats to the oilfield and provide them with the basic knowledge and skills to safely and effectively operate frac equipment Programs vary widely in structure, duration, and effectiveness However, no training programs can substitute for solid field experience

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

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

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
