AGENDA
THE MARKET FOR ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY
TRIMETEOR OIL AND GAS CORPORATION TODAY HISTORY FUTURE
ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY MARKET
OIL DEMAND
• Nearly two-thirds of the world’s energy comes from oil and natural gas.
• Oil and natural gas account for “virtually all transportation fuel in the United States”, and civilized world.
• The world has taken the availability of oil and natural gas for granted, and expects them to be affordable.
FUTURE DEMANDS
THE DILEMMA:
HOW TO PRODUCE ENOUGH OIL TO MEET GROWING DEMANDS?
GLOBAL OIL DEMAND
Oil and gas market ripe for breakthrough of an enhanced oil recovery solution: World oil consumption rate at 88 million barrels
per day, production 87–89 million barrels There must be a 1/3 production increase over the
next 15 years to meet projected demands Market stability requires $85B annual investment
to 2025 Oil is produced faster, less expensive and with
less disturbance to environment from existing wells
EOR can prolong life of oil fields up to 30 years when employed on “proven” reserves
IMPORTANCE OF HEAVY OIL
More than 6 trillion barrels of oil in place have been attributed to the heaviest hydrocarbons
This is more than three times the amount
of combined world reserves of conventional oil and gas
(Dusseault, 2010)
HEAVY OIL: A WORLDWIDE OPPORTUNITY
ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY Predicted Largest Growth of Oil Recovery
Oil analysts predict from 2012 to 2030 EOR Technologies will be the largest growth segment of oil recovery and production
377 Billion bbls @ $80+ a bbl
HEAVY OIL RESERVES AND PRODUCTION
Resources
• U.S. heavy oil resource approaches 150 billion + barrels of original oil in-place (OOIP).
• Resource is concentrated in 248 large reservoirs, holding 100 billion barrels of OOIP, primarily located in California, Alaska and Wyoming. • Numerous other states, such as Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Kansas, Utah, Oklahoma and Texas, contain significant volumes.
UNDERSTANDING EOR
Enhanced Oil Recovery techniques can prolong the life of an oil field by as much as 25 to 30 years.
PRIMARY PRODUCTION the natural pressure of the reservoir
• 10-15% Oil recovery
SECONDARY PRODUCTION uses water flooding and gas re-injection
• 10-30% Oil recovery
TERTIARY OR ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY By injecting steam or other gases and liquids this restores formation pressure and improves oil displacement or fluid flow in the reservoir
• 10-15% Oil Recovery
OIL STILL IN PLACE (OOIP) 40-70%
POST PRIMARY OIL RECOVERY METHODS
HEAVY OIL TECHNOLOGY
There are 5 main technologies currently used for the development of traditional heavy oil, with varying cost and efficiencies and recoverability factors: • Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) • Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CCS) • Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand (CHOPS) • Mining • Vapor Extraction (VAPEX) • Other development stage technologies: In situ combustion and electricity and microwave heating.

Dr. Dennis K. Williams, PE Combined Modes of Heat Transfer in TOG SSSS
The TOG superheated steam supply system (SSSS) employs a combination of external radiant heating sources employing the radiation heat transfer mode utilized in combination with the convection heat transfer mode on the internal surface areas of the primary and secondary vessels resulting in production of superheated steam in excess of 900°F. For comparison purposes, this degree of superheated steam is exceptional in comparison with that of both fossil and nuclear power plants whereby the degree of superheat is on the order of significantly less than 100°F (i.e., not the absolute steam temperature, but the measure of the temperature difference between the outlet steam temperature and the saturation temperature of the steam at a given coincident pressure, commonly expressed in psig).
Furthermore, the TOG superheated steam system has a coincident pressure less than 100 psig while generating the previously defined degree of superheat. For comparison purposes, the relatively low pressures associated with the TOG superheated steam system contrast significantly with that of both fossil and nuclear power plants whereby the coincident pressures are in excess of 900 psig.
In summary, the coincident relatively low internal pressure associated with the extraordinarily high degree of available superheat in the TOG SSSS distinctively differentiates this process from industry standards in the production of superheated "steam-for-use.“
The second major feature of the TOG SSSS is the absolute steam outlet temperature, which is in excess of 1200°F. The TOG SSSS outlet temperature is significantly higher than that available by normal commercial means and industry standards. For comparison purposes, the absolute steam outlet temperatures available through superheated steam systems associated with that of both fossil and nuclear power plants and steam district heating distribution systems are in general less than 650°F. The subject outlet steam temperature in the TOG SSSS additionally and distinctively differentiates this process from industry standards in the production of superheated "steam-for-use."

THE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AND
DEPLOYMENT CYCLE The National Petroleum Council had clearly explained the
cycle for the introduction of new technology. Fundamental Research – primarily university’s Applied Research – done Proof of Concept – done Field Testing – done and First Sale – in process Market Penetration – future Typical Time to Market – 15 to 20 years
PROOF OF CONCEPT “Proof of concept is typically the stage at which external funding
becomes more readily available since investors are generally more comfortable taking on market risk than technology risk.”NPC
Trimeteor has spent considerable effort and time improving the
performance of its equipment. Current equipment has been designed to meet high performance standards and be reliable. In addition it must, meet ASME pressure vessel, OSHA and other code requirements.
This current work is also being done with the idea that these
designs will be scalable in the future to meet changing customer demands.
This list of over 30 prototypes is incremental and additive.
MANAGEMENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS “Oil and gas technologies are often destined for hostile, hard-to-reach environments
such as the high temperature and pressure encountered at the bottom of a well. Full-scale tests must be completed before a technology can be proved and the market will accept it. As a result, commercializing technology in the oil and gas market is costly and time intensive; with an average of 16 years from concept to widespread commercial adoption” NPC

PERMITTING REFINING FINDING RIGHT JOINT VENTURE PARTNERS
AND/OR LEASES PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
BUSINESS STRATEGY
TRIMETEOR’S BUSINESS STRATEGY IS SIMPLE – • OWN AND OPERATE - Our priority strategy is to acquire or lease our own small to mid-sized oil assets that are at or near the end of their primary (or secondary life). The assets must have significant proved reserves with a high ratio of probable reserves and must be suitable for steam injection and/or EOR. • ALTERNATIVELY, TRIMETEOR MAY PARTNER with owners of oil assets, to profitably employ our environmentally clean and safe oil recovery process. The assets must have significant proven reserves with a high ratio of probable reserves suitable for the Trimeteor-EOR process.
MATURE OIL FIELDS – NO DRILLING COSTS
• The Company’s focus on marginally producing small to mid-sized legacy oil assets faces minimal competition so far. Legacy fields have good production records and data that support the acquisition process and subsequent development.
SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY
• Current steam extraction can only achieve maximum temperatures of approximately 600 degrees F. Trimeteor’s superheated steam generator can achieve temperatures of 900 to 1500 degrees F. High temperatures also improve extraction of heavy oils in surrounding wells.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
NO EXPLORATION RISK
• The Company’s portfolio will be comprised of mature fields with proven reserves - production growth is not dependent on exploration drilling and the high degree of speculation in making new oil discoveries.
NO INTERNATIONAL OR OFFSHORE RISK
• The Company’s onshore U.S. operations are not subject to geopolitical uncertainties, dependence on foreign sources and other issues related to overseas operations. There is no safer place to own reserves than onshore U.S.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Cont’d.
• NO POLLUTING SURFACTANTS and no residual toxic solvents – no green-house gases generated.
• NO PIPELINES OR INJECTION WELLS needed to deliver the steam – the superheated steam is delivered
down the well bore through our proprietary tubing within the existing production casing.
• NO INSULATED PIPELINES needed to keep produced oil warm. Oil is delivered and remains
at a high temperature.
• MINIMAL SEPARATION TECHNIQUES not needed – the oil contains minimal water(unless field previously
water flooded), solvents or sand.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES Cont’d.
• RESERVE OWNERS / LESSEES / LESSORS
• PRIVATE AND BUSINESS INVESTORS
• GLOBAL ENERGY FIRMS
• OIL REFINERS
• PIPELINE FIRMS
• MINING AND ENGINEERING FIRMS
• OIL SERVICE FIRMS
TARGET MARKETS
WHAT THIS PROCESS IS NOT
THE PROCESS IS NOT A STEAM FLOOD. IT DOES NOT PUSH STEAM TO THE PRODUCTION WELL. Our method wicks it to the wellbore.
IT IS NOT A CYCLICAL STEAM / HUFF PUFF. Our
method allows continuous production. IT DOES NOT INVOLVE CHEMICAL OR GAS INJECTION.
It does involve injection of high temperature, low pressure, superheated steam (99% quality).
NOT HYDRAULIC FRACKING. Our process is low
pressure pure steam.
