SHARE BUYBACK ANNOUCEMENTS / COMPLETIONS

In the fourth quarter of 2018, several oilfield service (OFS) providers announced a normal-course issuer bid(NCIB). This implies directors and management believe that purchasing and cancelling their own shares willprovide a better rate of return than acquiring other companies or investing heavily in new equipment.

Trican Well Service Ltd. (Trican) announced on October 1, 2018 the successful completion of its 2017-2018NCIB announced on September 28, 2017. Pursuant to the NCIB, Trican purchased and canceled the maximumallowable number of common shares of Trican under the bid, totaling 34,274,375 common shares (10 percentof the public float for the common shares) for total consideration of $119 million at a weighted average priceper share of $3.47 (before broker commissions).

Pason Systems (Pason) intends to put an NCIB in place beginning December 18, 2018 and expiring December 17, 2019. Under the program, 6.6 million shares, or 10 percent of the public float (approximately 8 percent shares outstanding) are available for repurchase to a maximum of an estimated 32,000 shares a day. A full exercise of the NCIB would result in the deployment of $107 million, based on Pason’s share price at the time of announcement.

MNP INSIGHTSALBERTA PRODUCTION CURTAILMENT

On December 2, 2018, the Provincial Government of Alberta announced a mandatory production curtailmentto reduce Alberta’s oil production by 8.7 percent, starting January 1, 2019.

The announcement came in response to the growing differential between the Western Canadian Select (WCS)pricing Alberta producers receive compared to West Texas Intermediate (WTI) pricing received by U.S.producers.

At the time of announcement, Alberta was producing 190,000 barrels a day more than could be shipped usingexisting pipeline and rail capacity.

OVERVIEW

• The Alberta Energy Regulator will administer the reduction using the existing Responsible EnergyDevelopment Act.

• The initial curtailment of 325,000 barrels per day (8.7 percent) is expected to drop over the course of 2019.The government will review the amount every month and adjust as needed. The level of curtailment foreach company will be based off its highest 6 months of production over the past 12 months.

• The curtailment is applied at the operator level.• Curtailment includes an exemption for the first 10,000 barrels of oil produced.• Applies to oil sands and conventional production.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Additional oil takeaway capacity is expected tobe available in late 2019, in part throughAlberta’s major investment in crude-by-railtransport.

• There is uncertainty on how curtailment willaffect smaller producers with non-operatedinterests.

• There is also uncertainty on how curtailment affects contractual agreements such as “take or pay” pipeline, delivery, or processing commitments.

• There is concern around the impact Enbridge’sLine 3 pipeline will have on curtailment when itcomes on line in the second half of 2019.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEWEXPERT THOUGHTS

Brad Wanchulak, CEO, Hydrera Water Services CanadaWhat was the most positive change in the last 12 months for your business?In the last year we have expanded both our executive and senior management teams. We havegrown from three executives and two senior managers to six executive managers and seven seniormanagers. This expansion marked the first time we truly invested in human capital versus operatingassets, this investment has allowed us to grow with substance and more certainty ofimplementational success.

What challenges are you seeing?The uncertainty in the Canadian operational realm has been difficult, impacting producers’ ability todrill, which, in turn, impacts our business. In addition, the low oil and gas prices of 2016 which weredifficult to bear and are now magnified in our current economic climate with new pricing lows andnegative production activity due to curtailments. The impact of returning to those low prices yetagain has created a double dip. This certainly presents a challenge for many companies who barelysurvived 2016.

What is your outlook for the next 12 months?In the next 12 months we see an opportunity to grow through expanded service offerings. We feelthat there will need to be some consolidation in the water management space and that many lateentrants could be forced to downsize operations to ensure survival. Margins are continually beingreduced by service providers who still operate for larger E&P companies and we feel that there willbe a slingshot effect when the Canadian oil and gas industry opens for business again. The result willbe fewer suppliers, which will naturally result in higher costs to producers and higher margins forservice companies.

Eirik Woodhouse, Co-Owner/EVP, Northlink Supply Ltd.What was the most positive change in the last 12 months for your business?We officially opened for business in July of 2018. In a very short time, we have seen many milestonescome and go, as our business continues to grow. We have many to thank for our success; includingour loyal customers and dedicated staff whom have earned trusting relationships with our vendorsand our customers. We could not be prouder of our accomplishments in this last year.

What challenges are you seeing?The halted construction of the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion. The Federal Court’s decision hashad a seriously negative impact on direct and in-directly related Alberta and British Colombia workersand businesses, it directly affects the primary industry we service. Fortunately, adapting to marketvolatility through adaptive thinking is what strong Alberta businesses do. We admit we feared theworst upon this disappointing announcement given we had just opened our doors, however wefunneled our energy not on fear and uncertainty, instead on what we could do to help our customersbe stronger in this market and tackle the increasing complexity of regulatory expectations and supplychain management.

What is your outlook for the next 12 months?With current oil prices seeming to have recently found a new bottom, we anticipate a sustainablepricing uptrend which in turn will create further opportunities for our customers and ourselves.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEWEXPERT THOUGHTS

Joel Jones, Partner, Borden Ladner Gervais LLPWhat was the most positive change in the last 12 months for your business?2018 saw increased M&A activity within the oilfield services sector, particularly due to attractivemarket valuations for buyers, consolidation pressure and the continued drive for diversificationthrough the acquisition of service companies with a U.S. presence.

What challenges are you seeing?One of the most significant issues facing Canadian industry participants continues to be the restrictedaccess to capital. Oilfield service providers continue to garner limited interest from North Americaninvestors. This, compounded with producers being increasingly cautious with their capital expendituresand their own ongoing issues with accessing capital markets, has heavily contributed to the challengingenvironment faced by oilfield service providers.

What is your outlook for the next twelve months?The trend of increased M&A activity, especially as it relates to small and mid-sized service companies,is anticipated to continue in 2019. As reduced work volumes and eroded margins force certaincompanies to consider strategic alternatives, others may forecast opportunity arising from factors suchas the mandatory curtailment of crude oil production plan announced by the Government of Albertaon December 2, 2018 and the upcoming provincial election in Alberta. As such influences continue todrive sellers and buyers together, the anticipated result is an increased number of completedtransactions in the oilfield services sector.
