Wellbore Quality

MOTIVE Drilling Technologies Motive is the industry leader in the use of cognitive computing software to guide the directional drilling process. The Motive Bit Guidance System™ is a directional drilling automation platform. It is a completely new method for steering the drillbit in horizontal and extended reach wells. Drills with a higher degree of factory-like consistency by using task automation and providing turn by turn instructions Drills better wells more efficiently by using all available data in real-time; providing performance feedback and real-time improvements Improves hydrocarbon production potential through better accuracy and less tortuous wellbores Provides post-well analysis of computations for continuous performance improvement Reduces lifting costs by delivering straighter wellbores

Wellbore Quality Standardization and Repeatability Which lumber would you use to build your house? Fixing tortuosity is expensive and time consuming . (A) Industry should strive to manufacture horizontal wellbores like the (A) wood pile, the highest quality and accurately placed. Why does it accept (B) today? (B) You can fix a wall with time and effort but you cannot straighten a well once drilled and the costs show up in completions and production for the life of the well.

Wellbore Quality = Higher E&P Returns Source: Society of Petroleum Engineers “Tortuosity values for horizontal, curve and vertical sections are calculated from about 2400 publicly available directional surveys for a basin in the US. The study uses data from hundreds of these wells to reveal correlations of tortuosity with drilling and completion NPT and correlations with production values in one out of three reservoir layers analyzed in this work.” Conclusion: Tortuosity adds cost to the drilling process and does permanent damage to the ROI of a given well.

Planned Trajectory Actual Result Traditional Directional Drilling Challenges Status Quo: Well Design Difficult to Achieve Poor drilling accuracy Missed targets/pay zones Inconsistent Drilling Practices Increased tortuosity, poor hole quality, low rate of penetration and completion issues Downhole Tool Failures Human Made Drilling Decisions Directional driller errors Elevated Lifting Costs Lower returns

Science Based Decision Making Planned Trajectory MOTIVE Result Motive Results (Performance Focused): Improved Accuracy – Well Drilled to Plan Hitting target and more time in pay zone Consistent Drilling Practices Decreased tortuosity, better hole quality, less drilling time and smoother completion Fewer Tool Failures Eliminates Human Error Converting Art to Science Decreased Lifting Costs Improved returns

Bit Guidance System Key Components Target Zone Convergence Planner Millions of potential options are considered by Bit Guidance System to find the optimal, most economic convergence back to the well plan Convergence considers costs associated with: Drilling speed Risk associated with tortuosity Lost production potential Value Driven Decision Making

MOTIVE Bit Guidance System Motive has commercially drilled over 12 million feet on over 800 wells across all of the major U.S. shale plays and Canada Motive has been issued 19 U.S. Patents Today Motive operates on both H&P FlexRigs and competitor rigs The Bit Guidance System converts directional drilling Art to Science

Path Towards Automation Source: Company Using the autonomous car analogy, H&P with its new AutoSlide functionality is entering level 4 out of the 5 levels, where there is still a driver but he is not required to touch the steering wheel except in rare occasions. Motive AutoSlideSM

AutoSlide The Next Evolutionary Step in Drilling Automation Standardizes highest quality well paths by providing automated and optimized slide execution with no human dependency Searches for optimal parameters in real-time to increase ROP and accuracy Adapts to different downhole formations and tools dynamically Uses machine learning and automation to interface with FlexRig control systems to perform slide drilling automatically via computer control (vs. traditional human control) Follows instructions provided by Motive’s Bit Guidance System Coupling the acquisitions of Motive and MagVAR with H&P’s FlexRig digital platform and R&D effort leads to a transformative drilling process for our Customers. Our new AutoSlide technology is yet another step forward in our Value Driven Automation strategy.

Motive Bit Guidance tells the automation system where, when and how far to slide and controls the FlexRig through the slide. FlexRig Operating System with AutoSlide Source: Company video

H&P FlexRig AutoSlide Currently outperforming very experienced directional drillers Less overall time to drill the curve Improved tool face precision While the Motive Bit Guidance System can be used on all rigs, AutoSlide is only available with FlexRigs today AutoSlide has been running on H&P FlexRigs in the Midland Basin over the past year; beta testing complete One button sliding functionality: User will simply press a button and the automation system will take over and control the top drive Parameters simultaneously controlled; WOB, DIFF, ROP, Spindle AutoSlide now commercial; replaces directional drillers that costs E&Ps ~$2,000/day and provides more consistency and better quality wellbores WOB = Weight on Bit DIFF = Differential pressure which is the pressure drop that can be equated to work being done to turn the drill bit ROP = Rate of Penetration Spindle = Rotating shaft on the top drive that rotates the drill string

Wellbore Accuracy

Magnetic Variation Services MagVAR is a leading software provider of measurement while drilling (“MWD”) geomagnetic referencing and survey quality management MagVAR’s services: Correct for MWD measurement errors Align drilling objectives to prevent well interference with asset objectives of placing wells in optimal position Reduces the uncertainty of well positioning Pay zone illustration courtesy of Pioneer Natural Resources Unconventional Drilling – Why Surveying Accuracy Matters

Wellbore Placement Optimal Spacing Drives Life of Well Production The path can be as important as the destination The industry is leaving hydrocarbons behind! Reported Actual MagVAR has developed a complete well placement solution that enables highly accurate wellbore placement

Wellbore Accuracy = Higher E&P Returns Conclusion: E&P industry needs accurate wellbore placement to ensure optimal spacing and enhanced returns. Optimal Spacing Drives Life of Well Production “For wells spaced 375 feet apart, the interference could cause a 28% loss in production over the well’s life, compared with wells spaced 600 feet apart. For wells spaced 275 feet it could be as much as 40%, according to the study. In some cases, water and chemicals used to frack a child well could flood the parent through connected fractures, significantly impacting oil production in the older well.” Source: Wall Street Journal March 3, 2019

Optimized Wellbore Placement Reservoir: Directly impacts well performance by increasing stimulate reservoir volume; optimal drainage, more frac wings Completions: improving hydraulic communication Geology: better mapping improves prospectivity Regulatory: greater confidence wells are within boundaries Drilling: reduced collision risk for future in-fill drilling Improved performance (enhanced returns): Reserve adds Recovery factor Production Lower F&D/boe Pay zone illustration courtesy of Pioneer Natural Resources With MagVAR Optimal Spacing Without MagVAR Survey Error Leads to Inaccuracy Frac Collisions Stranded Hydrocarbon Why is Wellbore Placement Critical?
