Pressure Pumping Focus<br />
Revenue by Service Line – 2011<br />
• <strong>Fracturing</strong> has been and will<br />
continue to be our focus<br />
• <strong>Fracturing</strong> is the key technology to<br />
facilitate unconventional<br />
development<br />
Coiled Tubing 6%<br />
Cementing 2%<br />
• <strong>Fracturing</strong> has evolved from being<br />
10-15% of the well cost to between<br />
30-50% of the well cost in many<br />
unconventional wells<br />
<strong>Fracturing</strong> 92%<br />
• Coiled tubing and cementing have<br />
been entry points into other<br />
international markets<br />
