The value creation strategy for Indago’s use of HCD Multi-Flow[®] is twofold:

1. Build a portfolio of Upstream Projects

Invest in known oil accumulations where the application of HCD technology may lead to commercial extraction, reserves growth and cash flow. Two projects acquired to date:

  • Kentucky

  • Utah

2. Sell HCD Multi-Flow® and Tank Clean Products to Industry

  • Targeting oil producers, pipeline operators, tank cleaners and refiners:

  • Developed marketing team in North America with representatives in Texas, California and Alberta.

  • Established agents & distributors in China, India, the Middle East, Colombia & parts of Europe.

In the last 12 months this sales force has been responsible for meetings with 120 potential customers, arranging 13 field trials for 7 producers and has collected and tested in independent laboratories ~40 crude oil samples from different projects.

Testing Implications on Dosage Rates

==> picture [248 x 25] intentionally omitted <==

  • Tests and trials indicate dosage rates of HCD Multi-Flow® for use in paraffin rich crudes are typically between 250 - 750 ppm.

  • Tests and trials indicate dosage rates of HCD Multi-Flow® for use in heavy, extra heavy and viscous crudes are in the 1,000 – 2,000 ppm range.

  • Dosage rates will always vary considerably depending on individual applications and oil composition.

Multi-Flow Dosage Rates 250 500 750 1000 1500 2000 (ppm) End User Cost/bbl of oil $0.47 $0.94 $1.42 $1.89 $2.83 $3.78 treated (US$)*

==> picture [398 x 186] intentionally omitted <==

Western Kentucky Oil Sands are estimated to have 3.4 billion barrels of original oil-in-place (OOIP).

Indago has leased 1,786 acres over which independent certifiers, Netherland Sewell & Associates, have estimated an OOIP of 42.3 million barrels (mmbbl). Of this OOIP, NSAI estimates that 7.5 mmbbl is 3C, 3.7 mmbbl is 2C and 1.9 mmbbl is 1C.

More than 10 wells previously drilled in INK’s acreage demonstrates oilsaturated reservoir 12-20 metres thick at a depth of 125-215 metres with 10[0] API oil.

==> picture [291 x 219] intentionally omitted <==

The first well was cored & confirmed good porosity, permeability and oil saturation.

Well test then designed to ascertain if HCD MultiFlow® could sufficiently reduce viscosity down hole to allow oil to be produced to surface.

Well was injected with HCD-Multi-Flow® and carrier fluid then swabbed and 82 bbls of oil were successfully produced to surface.

Well then placed on pump for further testing which ceased when water handling issues combined with low oil production were encountered.

After successful proof of concept, plans to design tests to prolong production are underway and possibly to test light oil shows above target encountered during drilling operations.

==> picture [342 x 402] intentionally omitted <==

Utah Oil Sands are well documented and estimated by the Utah Geological Survey (UGS) to contain 14-15 billion barrels of oil.

Indago has leased 3,459 acres over the NW part of Asphalt Ridge in the Uinta Basin over which independent certifiers, Netherland Sewell & Associates, have estimated an OOIP of 141.7 million barrels (mmbbl), and Contingent Resources of 24.8 mmbbl of 3C, 12.4 mmbbl of 2C and 6.2 mmbbl of 1C.

Previous operators have drilled around INK’s acreage indicating an oil saturated reservoir 2753 metres thick at depths from 60-914m.

Published results (UGS) from 6 wells drilled within INK’s acreage, report oil saturation of 65.6% of 10-14[0] API oil in sandstones with porosity of 30.3% & permeability of 524 mD.

  • INK completed a required cultural survey in April of 2019 and has applied for a permit to take bulk samples from the Rimrock Sandstone.

  • Samples will be tested with HCD Multi-Flow® in a series of different processes to determine optimal treatment method to recover maximum oil with minimum HCD Multi-Flow®.

  • Consideration being given to also test the deeper sections of the permit with a conventional well similar to the production test conducted in Kentucky.

  • INK will consider a partner for the next stage of testing both in Utah and Kentucky.

Testing and Sales Initiatives

Conclusions of Field & Laboratory Testing of Multi-Flow during 2018-2019

==> picture [248 x 25] intentionally omitted <==

HCD Multi-Flow® has proven highly effective in Field and Laboratory testing undertaken during 2018-2019 in the following applications:

1. Pour Point Reduction

•Earlier case studies on the Puteri Platform, Abu Alpha and Syria demonstrated that HCD MultiFlow® could reduce Pour Point of paraffin-rich crudes in the range of 9 to 53[0] C.

•Current field and laboratory testing in Utah and Turkmenistan is consistent with earlier results demonstrating Pour Point reductions in the range of 14 to 33[0] C.

2. Viscosity Reduction

•Applications in viscosity reduction are a new direction for Indago from the earlier focus on pour point reduction in waxy crudes.

•Laboratory testing of heavy and extra heavy crudes and sludge consistently demonstrate viscosity reductions in the range of 40-99% depending on API[0] Gravity.

3. Diluent Reduction

•The application in diluent reduction is a direct consequence of the viscosity reducing characteristics of HCD Multi-Flow® . By reducing extra heavy crude oil viscosity by as much as 95%, HCD Multi-Flow® is doing the work of the diluent, but instead of a one-to-one ratio it works in thousands of parts per million.

•Indago successfully trialled HCD Multi-Flow® as a diluent reducer in California and China during 2018.

California

==> picture [340 x 180] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [277 x 198] intentionally omitted <==

•Multi-Flow testing in extra heavy (5-6[0] API) crudes was successful and led to modest drum sales to a small independent operator. •The substantial viscosity reductions achieved by Multi-Flow has led to two down-hole trials with California’s largest heavy oil producer who currently uses a significant quantity of viscosity reducing agents to enable artificial lift and pipeline transport. Several drums of Multi-Flow are onsite and the trial is waiting only for bottle testing to ensure compatibility of the Multi-Flow with the crude.

Utah

•In Utah, separate trials with 2 of the largest producers in the Uinta Basin were about reducing pour point of the very waxy crudes. Multi-Flow reduced the pour point of one of the major producer’s crude by 15[0] C and also increased the flash point to 126[0] F. INK is currently considering re-engaging with the company after the company was acquired

Texas

•In Texas the trial was about reducing Basic Sediment and Water (BS&W) to raise oil quality and crude oil sale price. While the BS&W was substantially reduced from 4% to 2%, the trial fell short of the 1% target for commercial application.

Kentucky

•Indago successfully drilled & stimulated a test well with MultiFlow. Crude oil viscosity was reduced from 50,000 cP to 490 cP allowing crude to be swabbed to surface. Next steps are to design drilling, completion and recovery techniques to establish commercial flow rates. 27

Canadian Oil Sands

•A major International operator provided old storage samples of “dead” Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) crude oil. Testing aimed at reducing the amount of diluent required to meet Canadian pipeline specifications by adding Multi-Flow. Results were a proof of concept with the addition of Multi-Flow reducing the diluent requirements by ~8%. The Company is now collecting samples of freshly produced SAGD crude to retest “live” samples.

  • •~1.6 million bpd of diluted crude is exported by pipeline

Heavy Conventional Oil

  • The Cactus Lake Field trial was underway at the time of last year’s AGM.

  • 1,000 ppm MF uplifted crude oil gravity by 1.1[0] API & reduced viscosity from 1,001 cSt to 586 cSt (at 20[0] C).

  • Despite being technically successful, progression to drum sales was curtailed by Canadian oil market conditions.

Rainbow field produces ~12,000 bopd of waxy & asphaltenic crude creating deposition problems in the perforations, tubulars and gathering lines.

  • HCD proposed a Multi-Flow squeeze and continuous feed to eliminate the deposition problems.

The trial is scheduled for June 2019 (weather issues delayed an earlier commencement date).

The operator is one of Canada’s largest oil companies producing ~215,000 bopd.
