STAR SHIELD 500 Ultra Low Invasion Additive and Wellbore Stabiliser
Sealing Capacity and Key Benefits STAR SHIELD 500 An Expansion of Impact s FLC 2000 Technology 2
STAR SHIELD 500 Seals up to 500um fractures Fast effective barrier laid down across highly permeable formations or microfractures whether induced or in situ. Preventative approach rather than curative: it s already active in the fluid circulating system at the start of the hole section. Quick effective wellbore isolation minimize whole mud, or spurt, and pressure invasion Seals a broad range of pore throats (matrix) and microfractures Bridge at neck of pore throats or fractures Seal is robust, flexible and will withstand high pressure differential Whole mud additive which is: o Dispersed throughout the active system o Constantly laid down o Self-repairing filter cake o Not being depleted by drilling action 3
STAR SHIELD 500 Key Benefits The only additive that truly provides preventative formation deformation control and available in the industry today. Products are in the circulating system continuously treating the formation Functions in both OBM & WBM Functions in all lithology's including reservoir Seals up to 500um fractures at high differential pressure (over 3,000psi) Low additive loading o Easier to mud engineer o Less complex solids control o Minimal impact on basic mud properties o Product is robust not shear degraded 4
STAR SHIELD 500 Key Benefits Let s design a reservoir fluid that can be compliant in the field not just the lab! Use at 4-8ppb rather than the 30-50ppb required for stress caging No adjustments to the basic mud formulation required Thermally stable to 400 degf Product is robust not shear degraded Does not require specialist solids control equipment (no LCM recovery system) Makes fluids more tolerant field engineering wise o Managing solids loading & psd for Carbonate / graphite mixes? Tolerant to contaminants Makes fluid compliant to wellbore geology heterogeneity. o Covers low permeability represented by API & HTHP filter-paper through to 500um micro-fractures 5
STAR SHIELD 500 Conventional bridging solutions Filtrate & pressure invasion creates two time dependencies Short term pressure dominated [sec/mins] Long term filtrate dominated [hours] Influenced by Δρ, geology & mud chemistry API products provide bridging allowing pressure and fluid invasion into the geological matrix 6
STAR SHIELD 500 - Conventional bridging solutions The same invasion control process is relevant to both wellbore stability and formation damage. 7

STAR SHIELD 500 - Effect of screening on PSD. How much STAR SHIELD 500 is lost when screened over a #40 mesh screen? How will the losses affect consumption rates? Notes: theoretical calculations. In practice, amount of depletion in field conditions is likely to vary due to screen condition, flow rate & mud rheology etc X025 Referred to above is the R&D name of STAR SHIELD 500 10

Summary 21
STAR SHIELD 500 500um fractures Product data indicates it performs very well across a broader fracture size o 6ppb works well across all slot sizes. o Product works well up to 500µm. LC50 at 15ppb is 255Kppm. Plonor classification for Eastern Hemisphere This product would work well with shakers up to 60 mesh but consumption will be aggressive after that. Lab test phase complete; we now require field-trial partners to validate initial testing o Product available on trial commercial terms o Requirement to share all pre job data to identify suitable candidate well(s) o Requirement to share all post job data to build case histories 22
