Extraction Technology – cont’d • Amplified by the resonance the collapsing cavitation bubbles in the extraction chamber produce the following effects – Sand is fractured into finer particles-some as small as 5 microns – Under adiabatic compression, temperatures at point of collapse range 3500o to 4000o Kelvin • Extraction process operates at 20o C temperature and atmospheric pressure. • Only energy source is electricity, no solvents, no external heat added. • Settling occurs under atmospheric conditions as the clay settles with the sand.

Patents Patent No.: U.S. 8,192,61852 - Date granted: June 2012 Patent No.: CA. 267426 - Date granted: November 2013 • Oil Sands Treatment System and Process Patent Application No. U.S. 13,987,031 - Filing date June 2013 Patent Application No. CA. 2826511 - Filing date Sept. 2013 International Application No. PCT/CA2013/000825 - Filing date September 2013 • Treatment process and apparatus for reducing high viscosity in petroleum products, derivatives, and hydrocarbon emulsions Black Wax - Present Case Example Utah Black Wax Utah Basin black wax crude oil is pumped to the surface as a hot liquid at a temperature of about 150oF. It has a very high paraffin content and it hardens up as soon as it cools down and can’t be pipelined Transportation It is kept in heated tanks and shipped by tanker trucks to local refineries while hot. Trucks have a 4-6 hour window to reach refineries before they become a candle on wheels. Problems Significant viscosity reduction has never been obtained and maintained with Utah black wax. Research towards achieving this goal has been under way for the past 60 years in Utah - without success. Black Wax - Present Case Example Technology • Black wax is produced and pumped into the feed tank of the upgrader. Upgraded • In less than 1 minute at standard temperature and pressure, the viscosity of black wax is reduced from 631,000 to 280 centistokes at 20 degrees Celsius. • Note: a viscosity meter built into the upgrading process allows specific viscosities to be achieved. Results • This light viscosity oil remained stable when stored at standard temperature and pressure where black wax is normally a solid. It can now be pipelined. Value Proposition Intellectual Property – Patented Cavitation technology for Extraction of bitumen from oil sands and the Upgrading of bitumen, heavy oil and waxes Management Team – experienced management team with a diverse industry and technology background Customers – Oil Sands Miners and Producers, SAGD Producers, Black Wax Producers Customer Value – Increased Production. Reduced Costs. Higher $Netbacks/bbl Government Initiatives • In 2002, Alberta passed the Climate Change and Emissions Management Act (CCEMA) signalling its commitment to manage greenhouse gas emissions in the province. • In 2003, Alberta passed the Specified Gas Reporting Regulation (SGRR) requiring all facilities emitting over 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) annually to report their emissions • In 2007, Alberta passed the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation (SGER) to legislate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions for large industrial facilities becoming the first jurisdiction in North America to do so. – SGER requires all facilities in Alberta emitting over 100,000 tonnes of CO2e per year to reduce their emissions intensity by 12% below their 2003-2005 baseline emissions intensity. Government Initiatives • In 2009, Alberta introduced Directive 74 requiring Operators to prepare tailings plans and report annually on tailings ponds. Specific enforcement actions if tailings performance targets are not met. • Facilities that fail to meet their emission intensity reduction targets have the option to: – Buy Alberta-based emissions offsets credits from the Alberta Emissions Offset Registry (AEOR); – Purchase Emissions Performance Credits (EPC) from the SGER facilities that have reduced their emissions intensity beyond their reduction target; – Pay $15/tonne of CO2e over reduction targets into the Climate Change and Emissions Management Fund (CCEMF) which supports projects and technologies aimed at reducing GHG emissions in the province. Industry Initiatives Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA) • An alliance of oil sands producers focused on accelerating the pace of improvement in environmental performance in Canada's oil sands through collaborative action and innovation. • Participating companies capture, develop and share the most innovative approaches and best thinking to improve environmental performance in the oil sands, focusing on four Environmental Priority Areas (EPAs) – tailings, water, land and greenhouse gases. • To date, COSIA member companies have shared 560 distinct technologies and innovations that cost over $900 million to develop. Industry Initiatives • The Alberta Research and Innovation Authority is an integral part of Alberta Innovates - a strategically aligned and integrated provincial research and innovation system. • Alberta Innovates work with key innovation support agencies, with publicly funded post-secondary institutions, industry and government to further research and innovation in the province and make Alberta more competitive in the global economy. • Through AI-EES (CCEMC) made significant investments in renewable energy projects which have resulted in more than $1 billion dollars worth of activity Contact Information Kevin Lee Twin Hills Resources Inc.
