Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, all statements we make relating to revenue, earnings, margins, profitability, growth rates, and other financial results for future periods. By their nature, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made; are not statements of historical fact or guarantees of future performance; and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions or changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify. Although the Company believes that the plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, they do involve certain assumptions, risks and uncertainties, and the Company cannot assure you that those expectations will prove to have been correct. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forwardlooking statements as a result of factors described in this presentation and other risks, including the risks identified in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2016 and other risks identified in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2017. Many of these factors are beyond the Company s ability to control or predict.

Offering Argentina s Summary growth opportunity is unique Key Selection Criteria For International Shale Market Opportunities 1. Geology Resource produces economic hydrocarbons 2. Pace of activity Sufficient wells to maintain good equipment utilization 3. Demand for hydrocarbons Production consumed locally or export potential 4. Infrastructure Roads, housing, fuel, pipelines and support services 5. Local knowledge Feet on the ground; local network 6. Business risk Regulations, taxes, security, culture, ethics, etc. Source: EIA and Accenture. 11
Opportunities in Argentina Most major US shale plays consume 2.5-3 million HHP Argentina is importing a significant volume of gas at high prices Supply / Demand equation should favor much stronger prices as activity ramps to full manufacturing mode ESES is well positioned Drilling days per horizontal well 12
What has changed in Argentina following Kirchner? New pro-business, free markets President in Macri Natural Gas prices set at $7.50 declining to $6.00 in 2021 Currency controls removed New trade agreement with US & rejoins IMF New deal between government, labor unions, and energy companies to reduce cost and double investment Every sup 13

Argentina now focused on growing gas production; high prices locked in rigs starting back to work, barriers to entry remain Barriers to Entry: Importation of new stimulation equipment is still challenging Any new equipment into country must be negotiated with at least 3 agencies (Ministry of Industry, Department of Trade, and Customs Office) Matching agreements need to be negotiated with local vendors Government still favors protectionist policies to support local industry Repatriation of dollars has been difficult historically; still scares some competitors 16
