It will also act as an after sales support base for all NOV ASEP Elmar equipment sold into Brazil, including winches and pressure control equipment. Following an audit of its quality management system, the new Brazil site was awarded ISO 9001:2008 certification for sales. This prestigious accreditation is recognized worldwide and proves NOV ASEP Elmar s commitment to providing a first-class service to all its customers. Within the industry, certified quality management systems have come to the forefront and it is essential to have this recognition. David Brebner, Vice President of NOV ASEP Elmar, said: The opening of our base in Brazil marks further progress in our strategy to grow the business in this market, and Macaé is an excellent point from which we can access the entire Latin America region. We have a long-established relationship with the majority of the multinational service companies and we are delighted that our equipment is being used on important Petrobras projects. The Brazil region offers huge potential for NOV ASEP Elmar due to the ambitious plans set out by the country. The Brazilian energy market is investing massively in the sector to make the maximum use of its resources and to meet growing demand. In keeping with this, Petrobras announced plans for doubling of oil production by 2020, with pre-salt fields participation in the total production increasing from 2% in 2011 to 18% in 2015 and 41% in 2020.

Texas Oil Tools and CTES move to new facility We are excited about our new location, a 180,000 square foot facility which includes an expanded machine shop, office, assembly, testing, and our research and development lab. The move is still within the Conroe Park North business park which we have been in since 2007. We will be sharing our facility with CTES and we look forward to working closer and sharing ideas together. The latest expansion of TOT will allow us to increase our machining capacity by 35%. We have installed several new machines into the facility that will allow us to increase our production on large bore coiled tubing BOP s. The coiled tubing market has grown tremendously in the last 5 years and we are fortunate enough to be a part of the growth. Additions to the new facility include a training room and hands on workshop for both CTES and TOT to allow us to conduct classes on coiled tubing and pressure control equipment. The hands on workshop will provide a means to train on BOP and pressure control service and maintenance. The new facility will increase our training capacity and help our customers learn more about our equipment. The research and development lab has expanded to include a large area for assembly and a bigger test pit. The additional square footage gives us an isolated area to work on our subsea products. The increased pit size 30 long will handle larger equipment and provide a safer area for gas testing. The testing area will enhance our product verification and qualification testing capabilities. We have several new products and ideas we will be running through our lab. The new facility has dedicated areas for service and recertification, a market that has increased in the last couple of years. Several customers have expressed renewed interest in recertification of BOP s and pressure control equipment. Production capacity in our testing department has increased 33% which will allow us to increase our throughput through assembly and test. Our new facility has many great features and we look forward to your next visit at our facility. Page 5
Hydra Rig introduces the MiniCoil Compact Well Intervention Unit The Compact MiniCoil is a coiled tubing unit divided into modular, small footprint, low weight offshore-style skids. The Mini-coil has been specifically designed to coiled tubing intervention on locations both offshore and onshore that have limited crane capacity and/or limited deck space. The compact, modular design allow the operator work on wells previously unsuitable for conventional coiled tubing units. Each module is specifically designed to minimise weight and footprint size while still maintaining full coiled tubing operability Each module is approved to DNV 2.7-1 and suitable for use in Zone 2 hazardous areas. Control cabin stacks on skid for reduced footprint off hose reel Split powerpack design for reduced lift weight Powered hose reel module Hydra Rig currently offers two versions dependent on required tubing capacity The smaller version has a maximum lift weight of just 3000 Kg each and the larger version has a maximum lift weight of 5000 Kg. Each package consists of: 1. Power Module 5. Tubing reel Module 2. Hydraulic Module 6. Injector Module 3. Control Module 7. Ancillary equipment Module 4. Well control transport basket 8. DID reel base, DID drum and cradle HR 420C for 1/4 to 1 pipe 20,000 lbs rated pull The power, hydraulic and control modules will drive and control a number of well-intervention conventional and capillary coiled tubing injectors. The Control Module contains the main controls. It features direct hydraulic controls compatible with most CT injectors, well control and tubing reels. NOV Electronic instrumentation is provided for weight and depth. Injector transport skid Compact DID tubing reel with removable drum The compact DID tubing reel base and drop in drum are designed to handle most capillary and small OD coiled tubing in the following sizes 3/8, ½, 5/8, ¾ and 1 tubing diameters. The HR420C injector has a rated pull capacity of 20,000 lbs and can operate with tubing sizes from ¼ through to 1 by the use of suitably sized gripper style chains. In addition to the mini-coil, we will soon be introducing support equipment to compliment the mini-coil. A 25K, 10,000 psi nitrogen unit and a 10,000 psi well service fluid pump. Both packages will use the same basic arrangement with the added advantage of compatibility of the engine packages to offer back-up offshore. Page 6
