Historical Production Increases Historical Production Increases


 

Current Production Increases Currently drilling gas fields in Monroe, LA Have drilled 35 wells in the last 90 days Formerly shut-in wells (zero production) are averaging over 100,000 cu. ft. per day Several examples of 1,000% increases


 

Business Model Base price is $50,000-$65,000 per well Includes up to 4 laterals Over 50% gross profit margins Typically includes over 50% of the back-end production royalties after drilling Alternate pricing at $100,000 + per well Over 70% gross profit margins Includes zero back-end production royalties


 

Metrics Number of Drilling Rigs in Service Currently have 6 rigs in service Cost approx. $200k to manufacture from standard oilfield services components Goal is 7 by year-end 2003 and 15 by year-end 2004 Each rig requires a 3-man crew Number of wells drilled per rig Wells can be drilled in 2-3 days Goal is 10 wells per month per rig

The Company's secondary business,accounting Itchanged its name to Verdisys Inc.in 2001. With for 10% of its sales and earnings,is in providing the acquisition of the rights to a lateral drilling satellite hook-ups to oil and gas well operators process in 2003,the Company changed its market to remotely monitor and control well-head and focus to concentrate on services to the oil and gas pipeline operations. This business complements extraction industry. In July 2003,the Company the drilling business as they both serve the merged with Reconstruction Data Group,Inc.as same industry. a vehicle for taking the Company public. The lateral drilling operation is currently encountering a strong surge in demand due to its costeffectiveness and high oil and gas prices. Using specially designed mobile drilling rigs,the Services and Solutions Company can laterally drill a well in a matter of a few days atone-fourth the costof conventional methods. The combination of low frontend costs Lateral Drilling Services and the proven effectiveness and speed of the process make ithighly attractive to well operators In the U.S.and Canada,Verdisys provides oil and thatare already connected to pipelines and can gas companies with a proprietary lateral drilling The satellite telecommunication business competes obtain a quick high return on investment.

Lateral Drilling Technology and Oilfield Services Solutions for Energy Production Enhancement Oilfield Services Overview Verdisys has acquired the exclusive rights to the North American marketfor a drilling technology thathas had more than a decade of proven success in dramatically increasing the production of oil and gas wells. This technology is protected by three issued patents.These horizontal drilling technologies are centered around the use of fluid-jetdrilling techniques for secondary recovery of the in-place petroleum reserves on existing wells. These technologies allow a series of laterals to be drilled horizontally outinto the pay zone of an existing well. Verdisys Lateral Drilling Services (VLDS) targetthe estimated 2+ million existing Figure A oil and gas wells in North America 5800 feetdeep and shallower. With the use of VLDS oil thatotherwise would have remained beyond the reach of Verdisys will continue to improve the technologies associated with VLDS. conventional technologies can now be recovered efficiently and economically.

In addition to VLDS Verdisys also offers peripheral well stimulation services; collectively known as Verdisys Well Stimulation Services (VWSS).

Oilfield Services Fields thatare ready to be deserted and have about80% of the reserves Verdisys has broughtthe same aggressive economic models to the oilfield still in ground can be maximized to pull another large portion of the in service industry thatithas created in the satellite communications field.To ground reserve. achieve this Verdisys has the exclusive license in North America to patented The figure below demonstrates how lateral drilling can drastically expand intellectual property of a new lateral drilling rig. Lateral or horizontal drilling the production area within a given field. An average well will pull petroleum has been around since the early 1980's and the average costof this service on from an area of up to 120 feetfrom the well bore. However,each VLDS Lateral an existing well is approximately $400,000.Verdisys through its technology can extends up to 300 feetfrom the well bore,thus increasing the area of perform nearly the same procedure with very similar results for an average of production several fold. $65,000 per well.This along with peripheral well stimulation services,such as C02 enhancement,will forge huge revenue returns to Verdisys customers. Traditional well bore configuration pulling from 120 feetequates to a total volume of pay zone of 271,296 cubic feet. Each lateral of 300 feetwill pull Verdisys Lateral Drilling Services (VLDS) from over 360,000 cubic feet. That's 1,440,000 cubic feeton four laterals. With conventional lateral drilling the transition from drilling vertically to horizontal drilling may take 200 feetor more and take days to accomplish. Features of Lateral Drilling include: Verdisys with its patented technology can make this transition in 2 feet o The lateral drilling process is fast. Average time the rig is on instead of the industry normal of 200 feetand do itin a matter of minutes . the well is only two days. This enables Verdisys to be extremely precise in targeting specific pay zones for a significantenhancementto the production of the well. o Cuts a two (2) inch diameter hole horizontally up to 300 feet from the well bore. Many of the nation's old oil and gas fields contain new infield reservoir o Lateral holes can be drilled atseveral levels. compartments and bypassed reservoirs thathave never been economical to produce. VLDS will make iteconomically viable to produce from those Benefits: reservoirs for the firsttime. o Increase production rate and recoverable reserves from marginal wells. VLDS utilizes patented technology in the areas of the design and manufacture o Improves injection rates in water disposal/injection wells. of the Deflecting Shoe and the process of high pressure waterjetdrilling. Figure A on page 10 more precisely illustrates the process. o Allows directional treatmentof wells e.g.acid,steam,CO2,etc. o Allows multi-layer application in thicker reservoir zones. Verdisys lateral drilling (VLDS) works on both new and existing wells.Where VLDS performs best,though,is on depleted wells thatare ready to be capped o Techniques mosteffective on old low productivity wells. because they are no longer economically viable.The strong marketpotential o No need for large,expensive rotary rigs. is thatthis negates the continual need for new explorations and drilling. 11 Lateral Drilling Technologies and Oil Services


 

o No mud pits thatcan damage the environment. o No casing milling equipmentnecessary. o No additional stimulation required. o Average operation duration is two days per well. Thus limiting the time the well is outof production. o No logging expense required. o No need to change well-bore configuration. Recent results: o Gas well,Alabama - Production increased from 50 to over 300 mcfd (thousands of cubic feetper day) sustained production. 500% increase. o Oil well,Utah - Production increased from 2 to 38 bopd (barrels of oil per day) sustained production. 1800% increase. o Oil well,Columbia - Production increased from 39 to 210 bopd sustained production.430% increase. o Gas well,Louisiana - Production increased from 16 to 212 mcfd sustained production.1200% increase. Verdisys Well Stimulation Services (VWSS) As an added enhancementVerdisys provides C02 injection into the well after the lateral drilling process is completed.This provides a 1000 to 1 ratio of expansion in the zone to provide added drive pressure to energy production.This process works extremely well in wells thathave lostdrive pressure butstill have a significant amountof oil and gas in formation. 12 Lateral Drilling Technologies and Oil Services
