HEAL System: No Moving Parts
1. Seal • forces flow into SRS • creates large solids sump
2. Sized Regulating String (SRS) • variable internal diameter • smooths flow • reduces fluid density to lift
build section of well
3. HEAL Vortex Separator • separates solids • separates gas • avoids generation of foam

Producing BHP Comparison • Ideally want lowest
OPEX artificial lift method at the appropriate phase of the decline curve
• Challenge has also been the cost of transitioning between artificial lift methods
• Plunger lift post natural flow period can delay CAPEX of Rod Pumping

• Transition to gas lifting without pulling tubing
• Gas lift same as conventional; injecting gas down production annulus
• HEAL System SRS increases production drawdown over conventional gas lifting as fluids are efficiently lifted around bend section and slug flow is mitigated

• HEAL Slickline System is installed below gas lift system
• HEAL Slickline Separator Flow Through Prong installed (HEAL Slickline Separator is bypassed and isolated from annulus)
• Extends natural flow period as SRS lifts fluids around bend and delays the onset of liquid loading

• Can low cost transition to rod pump without pulling tubing
• With slickline retrieve Flow Through Prong; install HEAL Separator Prong
• RIH and land insert pump/rods into upper nipple profile
• Production casing is open for separated gas
• HEAL System protects pump from gas and solids, as well as maximizes production drawdown
• Solids are separated and settled in HEAL Sump
OPTIONAL: STANDING VALVE

Case Study: Production Enhancement, Wolfcamp Permian Basin
• The Permian Basin Wolfcamp formation is challenged by depth, high total fluid rates, high watercuts and severe high GOR gas interference
• Installation in 7 Wolfcamp wells resulted in a sustained +40% increase in production
• Successful transition from gas lifting to rod pumping

Reduce OPEX: Enhance Plunger Lift with HEAL System • First commercial install:
• Permian Basin Wolfcamp • HEAL + continuous flow
plunger
• Proceeding as expected: • Consistent plunger arrivals • Production 2x from rod lift • Reduced OPEX

• Slug flow mitigation improves downhole separation efficiency
• Slug flow mitigation solves the root cause of erratic pump fillage with benefit of lowered BHP
• Less stress on rods by avoiding erratic pump fillage
• Stable fluid level allows for effective pump jack balancing
Case Study: Mitigating slugs improves separation Wolfcamp, Permian

HEAL SystemTM Full Cycle Artificial Lift Strategy 1. Control flowback
• Install HEAL System post frac • Reduced proppant flowback and fines generation • Lower risks and costs transitioning to artificial lift
2. Maximize natural flow period (lowest OPEX) • Bend section liquid loading dictates when a well ceases to naturally flow • HEAL System designed to extend the natural flow period
3. Eliminate or minimize intermediate artificial lift phases • Minimize total CAPEX • Enhance the performance of ESP’s
4. Transition to rod pump as quickly as possible to minimize OPEX • Maximize pump efficiency to extend top end of rod pump capacity (reduce or eliminate intermediate artificial lift)
5. Maximize pump reliability and drawdown • Minimize planned and unplanned workovers • Lowest BHP possible to maximize rate and reserves • Pump protection from gas and solids • Offset well frac hit protection
