Surface Solutions is the leader in monitoring nearby wells for pressure communication due to frac'ing nearby.

1. “I highly recommend SSI for surface data tests on oil & gas wells: AWS,
PID, Fall-off, or Mini-frac'. Mike is responsive, attentive, personable, and
highly focused on safety and quality.”
- David Leech Welltest Specialist, BTech,
PL(Eng)

2. Risks without Monitoring
• Unintended Wellbore Communication Costs:
• Potential injuries to employees
• Millions of dollars in environmental clean-up
• Unwanted publicity
• Multiple potential lawsuits
• Lost production
• Lost jobs
• Lost corporate and industry credibility

3. Opportunity
Work with Surface Solutions, the industry’s best off-
set frac monitoring company.
• Increased worker safety
• Increased environmental stewardship
• Increased revenue retention due to better crisis
mitigation
• Increased production knowledge based on data
analysis
• Dramatically reduced risk to stockholders

4. SSI at-a-glance
• Over 5,000 hours of direct frac project experience
• First company to bring surface data acquisition to a
portable web platform
• Over 100 offset wells monitored while frac
operations on adjacent wells
• Over 6 years experience developing offset frac
monitoring best practices
• Privately owned Alberta company founded in 1999

5. Clients

10. Service comparison – Micro-
seismic
• Vs Micro-seismic
• Cost (>10x to monitor micro-seismic)
• Amount of equipment needed to monitor many
sites
• Mobilization time
• Margin for error greater with micro-seismic when
dealing with potential pressure release issues

11. Service Comparison - Manual
• Vs Manual readings with person at wellhead
• Data logging needed to prove accuracy
• Human error
• Cost of truck, man, for great length of time while
fracking
• Inherent danger of having person on adjacent
wellhead in case off pressure release

12. Service Comparison - scada
• Vs SCADA
• Have to dedicate field equipment to few wells
• Suspended wellheads don’t have equipment on
them
• Neighboring producers will have to dedicate
Scada systems for their wells
• Sampling frequency isn’t always fast enough

13. Project Process
• Over 40 hours invested per frac job designing offset
monitoring points, pressure ranges, recording
frequency, transmission frequency, 1x vs. Satellite
requirements
• SSI captures every second of data on offset wells
• Consult with Reservoir Engineers on data analysis
to increase production for future projects
• Alert client regarding any wellbore communication
