The Pump• Near commercialization

• Lower capital cost and operating cost when compared with pump jacks

The Market• Nearly 20,000 Oil wells (Bakken, Shaunavon, Cardium, Viking, Niobrara, etc.) where pump jacks are

used to produce oil have been identified as candidates

• In Canada alone, 90% of all new wells are drilled for oil and 88% of all new wells are drilledhorizontally

• 750,000 pump jacks already in use in North America

The Opportunity• Exposure to a high growth company with pivotal operational catalysts on the horizon

• Agreement in place with large oil company with first commercial version of the Pump installedJanuary, 2016

• Ongoing discussions with other clients to install additional Pumps

Increases in directional drilling, and horizontal wells in particular, have created new challenges:

• Bends in the well create points of contact between the rod string and the production tubing;• Rod string suffers excessive wear as it cycles up and down 3 million times per year, leading to

eventual failure of the rods and occasionally the production tubing;• Limited advancements in pumping technology are creating rising costs to produce oil.

Critical points of contact in oil wells that

result in excessive wear and eventual failure of rod

strings.

The Linear Electromagnetic Submersible Pump (the “Pump”):

No immediate competition for this technology

Reciprocating pump is a modified industry standard rod-pump

Powered by permanent magnet motor - magnets lose only 1% of magnetism over 10 year period

No external moving parts; everything moves internally in the Pump housing

2nd Generation Pump improved with 25% more power & 50% less friction than prototypes

Recent run times indicate 92% efficiency vs. 80% in traditional rod pumps

Ideal for light oil, shallow horizontal wells - can be set inside the horizontal section in a well

The Pump effectively:

Eliminates surface lifting equipment (pump jack)Smaller footprint means reduced construction costs, lower environmental impact, and lower impact on farming and ranching.

Eliminates sucker rodsWorn and broken sucker rods can cost clients up to $153,000(3) annually to maintain, including the oil not being produced during failures.

Eliminates leaking wellheadsWellheads typically leak oil at the ‘stuffing box’ (the seal around the sucker rod). This is a chronic environmental issue with pump jack operations.

Installed in client oil well in Southeast Saskatchewan January, 2016

• 23 days of total run time.

• 92% pump efficiency* at production rates of 20.4 m3/d (128 bbl/d) exceedingexpectations.

*Typical industry rod pumps run at an efficiency rating of 80% and would be expected to deliver 17.8 m3/d(112 bbl/d) under similar conditions.

• Resolution of minor operational interruptions* have armed Divergent withsignificant learnings about optimal Pump parameters.

*A decoupling of the pump shaft from the motor occurred, believed to be caused by settings in the controlsystem’s software – software settings have been adjusted to eliminate a repeat occurrence.

• Additional Pumps ordered using proceeds from the private placement financing

• Next shipment of Pumps expected to arrive by May 18th

• Further installations in additional wells expected in May/June with opportunity toestablish new client agreements

• Secured new commercial terms from the Pump manufacturer for this shipment

• Demonstrates alignment with manufacturer on need to remove barriers to rapidcommercialization of Pump

• Additional term improvements to be established as purchase volumes increase

APPENDICES

1. The Pump uses a modified industry standard reciprocating pump currently used with pump jacks, known as a rod pump. The pumpis driven by an electromagnetic motor that uses permanent magnets to create thrust to move the shaft of the motor in areciprocating, or linear, motion. Permanent magnets maintain their strength almost indefinitely, losing approximately 1% of theirstrength every 10 years.

2. Annual Rod Pump Cost Assumptions:• Rod Strings $20 per meter;• 10% of string replaced after a failure event;• Service Rig $12,000 per day, 2 days per failure event;• 5 days lost production per rod failure;• rod string failure rate of 4 failures annually.• Oil price of $45/bbl and production rate of 50 bbl/day;

Current Technology Drawbacks Linear Electromagnetic Submersible Pump Benefits (the “Pump”)

Surface lifting equipment (Pump Jack) has a high capital cost and requires a large footprint

The Pump has a lower capital cost, reduces construction costs due to no surface lifting equipment

Rod strings in deviated and horizontal wells cause excessive wear due to rubbing against the tubing

No external moving parts means that the Pump can be placed in deviated and horizontal wells as easily as vertical wells

Rods strings wear from the 3,000,000 annual up/down cycles, which can cost up to $153,000(3)

annually to maintain, including the oil not being produced during failures

No rod string, no external moving parts. Everything moves internally in the Pump housing

Mechanical inefficiencies and variable power draw can lead to high electricity costs

Permanent magnet motors run on low Amps with no mechanical gears to reduce efficiency

Leaking wellheads around the rod (from the “stuffing box”) is common Seal not an issue - no moving parts exit the wellhead

* The Pumpjack was invented in 1925 by Walter Trout, an employee of Lufkin Foundry and Machine
