Agenda
• FlexGen® Power Systems Company Overview
• What is a FlexGen® Solid State Generator (SSG)?
• Land Drilling Solutions
• Production Power Solutions
• Q & A
1
• FlexGen Power Systems (FPS) develops, manufactures, and services innovative power products for oil & gas operators in drilling, production power, and offshore applications
• Our core technology and IP combine traditional combustion power generation with a product called a Solid State Generator (SSG), which combines software, high efficiency power conversion, and advanced energy storage
• FlexGen’s SSG products have been fielded globally for 5+ years in the U.S. military and have reduced generator fuel consumption by 52% and maintenance by over 80%. Based on those results, FPS’ technology is now being integrated into every generator in the military inventory
• Our first three super independent customers estimate that our technology will deliver $200 - $450M in addressable annual cost savings in equipment CAPEX, fuel consumption, maintenance, and emissions, plus dramatically improved power quality and reliability, on every drill rig and production well
• FPS recently completed a $25.5mm Series A round including Altira, GE, and Caterpillar to scale its technology in oil & gas and industrial power markets globally
2
Executive Summary
• FlexGen’s SSG can deliver meaningful enterprise-wide addressable annual cost savings immediately to current operations and, as activity levels return to normal:
Additional Benefits: • 15-45% emissions reductions on every rig and genset • Low risk implementation and positive cash flow to the operator on Day 1
• FPS equipment is plug-and-play in the field (no significant change to standard operating procedures and minimal commissioning time)
• FPS leases equipment at cash flow positive day rates from Day 1
Operations SSG Annual
Savings / Unit Annual Enterprise Savings
Current Ops Normalized
Drilling $1.0 – $1.1M 20 rigs => $21 - $25M
85 rigs => $87 - $107M
Production – Genset Power $125 – $390k 200 gensets =>
$25 - $78M 450 gensets => $57 - $175M
Production – High Line Power $36 – $83k 2,000 wells =>
$72 - $165M 5,000 wells => $180 - $416M

Enterprise Cost Savings & Benefits for Operators
• Diesel and gas generator and gas turbine power systems are highly inefficient
• Generation is sized for peak loads, load steps, and motor inrush currents
• Generators and turbines therefore operate at low load factors, typically 10-30% of rated capacity and experience exponentially higher fuel consumption, maintenance, and emissions

Problem: Generator Performance & Inefficiency
• The SSG combines advanced energy storage, high efficiency power electronics, and adaptive system and component level software controls to optimize power system performance, capital, and operating cost
• The SSG charges and discharges automatically and instantaneously to absorb load variability, allowing the generators to ramp smoothly and efficiently regardless of load demand
• SSG is a modular, scalable, and provides voltage and frequency support to the AC or DC bus in generator power systems from 3kW-4MW

• 1.2MW SSG substitutes energy storage for excess genset horsepower, delivering improved power quality, performance, and reliability
• Fewer generators operating at higher average loads = significantly reduced fuel consumption, maintenance, and emissions
• Eliminates rig blackouts • Faster drilling and reduced time to completion • Significantly increases dual fuel gensets’ gas substitution rates
