Why Use Propane? Enhances well productivity and provides higher returns for oil and gas producers (this makes it a “Disruptive Technology” to traditional methods employed to date) Very effective in depleted wells (reduces viscosity, energetic) Propane purity eliminates possible reservoir contamination. No microbes or bacteria as with water. No contaminants from transport medium. Environmentally friendly and sustainable (no requirement for water, limited flaring) Proven to be safe Effective in all formations 6

Enhanced Well Productivity Fracture effectiveness is measured in effective fracture length (Surface Area) LPG is a formation compatible fracture fluid and is naturally occurring in the reservoir No water damage to formation; water or oil cause considerable damage Produces more effective formation fracture length (no fluid blockage of fractures) Typical y less than 50% of conventional fracture fluids are recovered from the wel Capture initial flush production due to less flaring with fast fracture fluid recovery Faster clean up due to underbalanced nature of LPG fluids Excel ent fluid for tight oil reservoirs due to LPG thinning oil in the reservoir LPG is compatible with both oil and gas reservoirs Low surface tension of LPG makes it clean up faster and better than conventional fluids 8

Environmental LPG fracturing is a sustainable process for oil & gas operators by using products they produce to produce more hydrocarbons LPG fracturing eliminates the use of millions of gallons of potable water per well Eliminates the disposal of millions of gallons of non-potable fracturing water Eliminates the need for biocides (insecticides) that are required in fracturing LPG reduces the need to flare production to clean up the traditional fracturing fluids, eliminating thousands of tons of CO2 emissions; this, in turn, generates carbon credits that have a substantial dollar value 12
How Common is LPG/Propane? U.S. Propane Market is 9.5 Billion Gallons/Year Propane Heated Households 13

Viscosity Comparison Features of Reduced Viscosity:• An order of magnitude reduction in viscosity results in an order of magnitude reduction in the pressure required to move the same volume of fluid through a porous media. Benefits of Reduced Viscosity:• Greatly improves post fracture treatment fluid recovery that wil maximize the effective fracture length and result in accelerated production and incremental reserves. 28
Surface Tension Comparison Features of Reduced Surface Tension:• Surface Tension of the treatment fluid is directly proportional to Capil ary Threshold Pressure or differential pressure required to mobilize fracturing fluid during cleanup. Benefits of Reduced Surface Tension:• Greatly improves post fracture treatment fluid recovery that wil maximize the effective fracture length and results in accelerated production and incremental reserves. 29
