2. ABOUT PETROLINK • Independent neutral vendor with no affiliation to any service company. • Reduced cost solution via an integrated turnkey solution that does not rely on a combination of several service companies’ solutions or in-house solutions. • Improvedsecurity. • Better work flow capabilities that allow QC, editing and sharing of information both within the operator’s own organization and externally with third parties. • More efficient data management at point of acquisition • Partners and government agencies retrieve only the data that they want from a central repository. • Data is made available through a network of synchronizing servers on both corporate intranets and the Internet. • Conversion of graphical images to Adobe Acrobat PDF files. • Combination of real-time and static data with specialized engineering to optimize drilling operations. • Real-time data integration with specialized drilling software to evaluate, for example, pore pressure and losses from LWD data. • 24/7 monitoring and quality-control of the real-time data stream Petrolink is a well established information and communications technology service company specializing in the oil and gas exploration and production sector. Petrolink has provided IT and communications solutions to oil and gas operators whether super majors, or smaller independent operators for more than 15 years. Petrolink has adapted and evolved its solutions and services to suit the needs of its customers in this technology driven service sector. Petrolink has a highly skilled and experienced team of people recruited from the oil and gas, software development and information and communications technology industries to provide tailored solutions to the needs of our growing client. Petrolink has become the market leader in the secure transmission and distribution of geotechnical and associated data throughout the world. Petrolink has strategically placed its personnel and offices across the globe to provide the best possible level of support to our clients All data types (such as reports, logs, spreadsheets and more) may be uploaded by anyone with the correct access rights using a web browser from anywhere in the world to a server that is easily accessible even from a remote location (production platform, drilling rig, seismic vessel or overseas office). Within a few minutes the data is replicated (or synchronized) to all the Petrolink servers whether on the Internet or on a corporate intranet. This enables all authorized parties with the correct access rights to access the information securely and quickly. DATA + PEOPLE + PROCESS The Right Data to the Right People at the Rigth Time

5. ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE DRILLING GEOMECHANICS IT ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE COMPLETIONS GEOLOGY REAL-TIME MONITORING REAL-TIME MONITORING Monitoring drilling activities (drilling, tripping, circulating,…) in real-time, and generation of alerts in case of unusual or unexpected situations to prevent operative problems. DRILLING Following-up wells, and generation of technical recommendations and proposals to optimize the drilling process. COMPLETIONS Following-up cementing, stimulations and completion activities, and generation of technical proposals to optimize the completion process. GEOLOGY Optimizing the drilling process by adjusting lithology columns based on log and seismic data. GEOMECHANICS Optimizing the drilling process by adjusting the geomechanical models, based on log and seismic data from actual and correlation wells. IT Ensuring availability of real-time, correlation and historic data; maintaining IT services and the WITSML store.

6. TRAFFIC LIGHTS PROCEDURE CRITICAL • Total losses. • Kick. • Stuck pipe. • Side-track. IN ALERT • Drilling parameters out of range. • Frictions, resistance and torque. • Partial losses. • Unplanned trajectory. • Fluid conditions out of range. • Proximity of casing pipe seat. • Changes in rate of penetration. • Failure of directional tools. • Failure of drilling apparel. • Activity suspension due to community conflicts. • Activity suspension due to weather conditions. International Standard NORMAL OPERATION • Wells according to schedule • Optimal operative conditions • Lithology column as planned DRILLING EFFICIENCY

7. ENGINEERING PRODUCTS ALERTS Preventing operative problems from the identification an unexpected or unusual tendency on the real-time surface and logging parameters. RECOMMENDATIONS Optimizing drilling conditions from the analysis of real-time and near real-time data. RECOMMENDATIONS ALERTS PRODUCTS PROPOSALS PLANNING PLANNING Improving well design by adjusting the drilling, completion and/or workover planning, based on real-time, near real-time and historic data. PROPOSALS Reducing recurrent operative problems by proposing operative alternatives based on real-time, near real-time and historic data.
