1 Advanced Production Technologies For improved oil and gas recovery

2 Disruptive Industry Vision Pragma delivers advanced production technologies for the upstream oil and gas industry. We collaborate with operators around the world to improve recovery and reduce costs. We are committed to leveraging advantage through new technology which is highly differentiated, low risk and significantly enhances the performance of wells. We seek out and deliver pioneering solutions to some of the industry s biggest challenges. We are not afraid of tackling the big questions to help shape our future. We know that advancement means change, innovation and doing things differently and we are confident that our problem solving skills and fresh approach will deliver on these ambitions. Our valuable portfolio of intellectual property will place us at the forefront of oil and gas innovation for years to come. Innovating new production enhancing technology, pushing the boundaries of engineering capability and collaborating to add value for the industry are our driving principles. Cost Reduction Advanced Technology

3 Extreme Expansion Technology Pragma s extreme expansion technology is designed for a variety of thru-tubing downhole applications and can be deployed by wireline, coiled tubing or drill pipe. Advanced 3D inconel printing Industry leading expansion ratios Significantly reduced cost for demanding zonal isolation Our packers, patches and straddles can be used for isolating reservoir zones to prevent water, gas or sand ingress in the lower completion. The packer range can also be used for zonal treating operations such as scale squeezes, perforation washes or flow testing on coiled tubing. Our plug range has been developed for water/gas shut off, temporary and permanent abandonment applications or used to support cement plug or cement retainer installation. Current products include the extreme expansion Bridge Plug (XXBP) and the Thru-Tubing Expandable Patch (TEP). The latter technology is currently being developed in collaboration with a Middle East national oil company. Retrofittable Technologies We are looking at ways in which retrofittable technologies can be designed for mature oil and gas wells to enhance production. Current technologies include: Safety valve systems for restoring production Low risk production enhancement for mature wells A Velocity String Safety System (VS 3 ) which is a complete safety valve, tubing spool and hanger system designed for harsh reservoir environments which will assist the deployment of velocity strings to dewater and optimise severely depleted gas wells in both conventional and inverse gas lift applications. The VS 3 includes a number of unique features to ensure long term reliability, requires no additional control lines, allows bidirectional flow on both sides of the velocity string and combined surface control of tubing and annular flow. A Next Generation Remedial Safety Valve designed to address subsurface safety valve malfunctions. It will restore a verifiable barrier allowing for recommencement of well production. Only modern design and manufacturing techniques have made this retrofittable technology possible. The next generation Pragma solution offers operators an unparalleled opportunity to cost effectively increase production from shut in wells and deliver a fast response to safety valve failures.

4 Enabling Technologies Looking at how we can support oil and gas production into the future as we enter increasingly challenging environments, we have created a range of technologies for specialist applications. Our Downhole Steam Injection Valve (DSIV) and Extreme Temperature Safety Valve (ETSV) are variations of a single valve developed in collaboration with a pioneering independent North Sea operator and the OGTC. They will enable steam flood recovery in previously inaccessible offshore heavy oil reservoirs and are designed to withstand extremely harsh environments, including continuous steam injection and temperatures up to 343 C/650 F. Highest temperature rated safety valve in the world Unlocking stranded reserves Maximising recovery factors State of the art design The valves have been designed for surface control with premium corrosion resistant materials and full metal to metal seals for reliable function over the life of the well. This will enable steam flood operations to take place in the UKCS for the very first time and potentially unlock millions of barrels of stranded heavy oil. Our compact Electric Submersible Pump Safety Valve (ESPSV) has been designed to enable the installation of low cost, retrofittable cable deployed ESPs in locations requiring a well barrier. With a thru-tubing permanently installed ESP cable running through the completion, the existing safety valve is rendered inoperable. To solve this problem, Pragma s unique subsurface safety valve can be deployed together with the ESP due to its extremely compact and robust design with minimal moving parts and requiring no control lines to surface. By deploying the ESPSV together with the cable deployed ESP system, this minimises the number of required runs but can also be run separately if required. Enabling retrofittable cable deployed ESP systems Restoring production from mature wells Lowering installation cost The ESPSV is the only purposely designed safety valve for cable deployed ESPs, keeping installation costs to a minimum.

5 Production Enhancement Pragma has developed downhole technology to enhance production profiles in conventional and steam assisted recovery applications. The Pragma machine learning enabled Production Optimisation Valve is a revolutionary new concept for enhancing flow profiles under all possible scenarios and is the world s first truly smart flow control valve. The project, partly funded by the OGTC, will develop a compact device that allows for continuous monitoring of the fluid entering and exiting it. This allows for real-time, reactive and automatic choking of flow in response to properties such as viscosity, density, temperature, pressure, resistivity or capacitance. Pragma believes that this is the most applicable and achievable first use for artificially intelligent devices in a downhole environment in the near future. Pragma s solution will bring a step change to the industry for production management that will maximise recovery in new and depleted fields. Pioneering machine learning in downhole applications Production profile enhancement under all scenarios Artificial intelligence The Pragma Steam Assisted Recovery Inflow Control Valve is the only dedicated flow control device for use in steam flood and steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) applications. Its simple and robust design, with only a single moving part, is the only valve capable of completely shutting off steam breakthrough and maintaining a low steam/oil ratio throughout the well life. The valve contains components proven in other industries for use in harsh environments, with thousands of usage cycles and no degradation in performance. The steam assisted recovery inflow control valve will allow unprecedented simplification of reservoir models for well planning and optimisation with its straightforward functionality. Pragma believes this technology has the capability of making a significant impact on the economics of steam assisted recovery operations.
