Subject: Provision of Engineering & Technical Recruitment Services

Please find attached information on the above mentioned Frontier International Engineering & Technical

Recruitment services.

As you will see from the attached document, our Company focus is entirely on Engineering & Technical

Recruitment within the oil & gas industry. In particular our clients are operators and oil & gas service

companies. Frontier is a specialist provider and specialises in the area of recruiting for engineering roles

within the oil & gas industry. We provide permanent staff personnel, contract personnel and managed

project teams.

We have a strong record, stretching back many years, in filling engineering positions on behalf of our clients.

You will also see, from the attached document, that Frontier has a strong engineering presence, in-house

providing clear insight and understanding of the requirements of the roles which we seek to fill.

We are focused on recruiting for the professional, technical and managerial sectors of the international oil

and gas market, covering all disciplines related to Exploration, Drilling, Well Completion, Field Development,

LNG, EPC, Design, Construction, Commissioning, Production, Well Servicing, Decommissioning and

Abandonment.

We have recently opened an office in Abu Dhabi, managed by Mr. Arjun Bhakhri, to provide a more

convenient point of contact for our clients the Middle East. Frontier has provided services to Middle East

and India clients on an ad-hoc basis for over 10 years but since establishing the Abu Dhabi office our service

has benefited from being represented in the same time zone and we have added a significant number of

new clients as a result.

Our India / Middle East Clients currently include ZADCO, ADGAS & ADCO (UAE), Black and Veatch(KSA),

Anabeeb(KSA) Samsung (India & Middle East), Olayan Descon (Saudi Arabia), Larsen & Toubro (India &

Sharjah), Al Haditha (Oman), Al Falak (for Saudi Aramco), Safwan Petroleum Technologies Company (Abu

Dhabi), Sunrise Petroleum (Sharjah), Greatship Global (India) and National Petroleum Construction

Company (NPCC UAE)








The Directors of the Company come from practicing petroleum engineering backgrounds. In-house

technical training and support delivered by the Directors has resulted in enhanced knowledge of

engineering and technical disciplines within the Frontier recruitment team. This technical knowledge within

the team has obvious benefits when Frontier recruiters are speaking to clients and consultants or matching

engineering & technical candidates to client vacancies.

In addition to recruiting for individual engineering positions, Frontier is able to accept volume recruitment

assignments to recruit multiple personnel on a campaign basis. Examples of this are a recent successful

recruitment campaign for Cairn India to recruit 30 contract Petroleum Engineering personnel and a

campaign, in partnership with Shell Europe, to recruit 40 staff Well Engineers.

We are also able to process client sourced or referred candidates for evaluation and to carry out skills

assessment, and other forms of candidate evaluation.

Our Recruitment services are provided strictly on a contingency basis with fees only becoming due on the

date the candidate starts work.

If you have any questions regarding the contents of this brief, please do not hesitate to contact myself,

[email protected], Arjun Bhakhri [email protected] or call on

one of our contact numbers provided at the end of this document. We look forward to the opportunity to

discuss how Frontier might support your Company’s recruitment efforts in future.

Best Regards

Paul Radcliffe – Managing Director

Background Frontier is an international oil & gas resource company, established in 1999 to provide project well engineering

services to the industry. Since 2003, in response to client demand, Frontier has specialised in engineering & technical

recruitment across all oil & gas disciplines for major operators, independent oil companies and oil & gas service

companies. Our head office is in Aberdeen, Scotland and we have Regional Offices covering India / Middle East, East

Africa and the Caribbean.

The Directors of the Company come from practicing petroleum engineering backgrounds. In-house technical training

and support delivered by the Directors has resulted in enhanced knowledge of engineering and technical disciplines

within the Frontier recruitment team. This technical knowledge within the team has obvious benefits when Frontier

recruiters are speaking to clients and consultants or matching engineering & technical candidates to client vacancies.

The net result is candidates very well matched to vacancies and fewer but more appropriate CVs submitted per

vacancy.

Core Business Our core business is engineering & technical recruitment focused on the professional sectors of the oil & gas market

covering all disciplines related to Exploration, Drilling, Well Completion, Field Development, LNG, EPC, Design,

Construction, Commissioning, Production, Well Servicing, Decommissioning and Abandonment. We recruit for permanent staff, professional contract personnel, specialist consultants and fully managed project

teams.

Frontier is a preferred supplier to many of the world´s leading oil & gas related companies and we have a global reach

covering all of the major oil producing regions.

What Differentiates Frontier From Its Competitors? As previously mentioned, the senior managers at Frontier are qualified engineers with between 20 and 30 years

operational experience working with major operators. We have a detailed understanding of our client vacancies from

personal experience and are able to discuss engineering and technical roles confidently with clients and candidates

“in their own language” in order to get the best possible match between vacancies and candidate experience.

The Frontier managers and recruitment consultants have built up significant personal networks of engineering &

technical professionals who can be called on as candidates and for candidate referrals.

The Company provides ongoing in-house technical training for Frontier recruitment personnel which allows them to

also better match candidates to vacancies and to speak to clients and candidates “in their own language”.

We have a significant global reach via our European, India/Middle East, Caribbean and African Regional bases,

through the use of technology and via strategic international partnerships. This means we are able to recruit local

and expat staff and contractors in any location where the oil & gas industry operates.

As a result of the combination of factors listed on the previous page, Frontier are able to provide a specialised and

personalised recruitment service (resulting in better candidate search and match) with the ability to service our oil

industry clients anywhere in the world where they need us to. This is a unique situation in the recruitment business.








How Does Frontier Attract the Best Talent? Frontier’s policy for recruitment of high quality personnel consists of a number of interconnected strategies including

the following:

The hands-on operator and service company experience of Frontier senior management has resulted, not only in a depth of understanding of the roles to be filled, but also in far reaching personal (and co-operative) networks of engineering and technical contacts which are utilised to reach deeper into the candidate market for referrals that would not be available through the normal recruitment channels. When a vacancy is received from a client this is immediately posted to the Frontier website (www.frontierinternational.co) job vacancy pages via the Frontier recruitment database system. The website and database are directly connected so that vacancy information updated in the database is also updated in real time on the website. Similarly, information from candidates applying for positions via the website is captured in the database in real time. When the vacancy is posted to the website it is simultaneously posted to several other selected specialist job boards that Frontier subscribe to. In this way the vacancy is advertised across as wide a platform as possible, often within minutes of being received from the client. Many candidates monitor the Frontier website on a regular basis and some candidates, for specific vacancies, are generated in this way. Additionally many potential candidates register for future vacancies via the website even though they may not be applying for a current vacancy. Candidates submitting CVs in this way are screened and, if considered suitable for future vacancies, are added to the database. Frontier have a registration system which allows potential candidates to opt for job alerts which are sent automatically via e-mail directly to the candidate when a job vacancy matching the candidate’s pre-selected criteria is posted to the website. Contractors are encouraged to register for job alerts and many register for job alerts even though they may not be actively be looking for work at the time but will still confirm an interest when they receive a job alert that looks potentially interesting to them. Frontier also maintain a candidate “hotlist” shared amongst all the recruiters of candidates who are known to be already looking for their next project or coming close to the end of a project so that they can be contacted immediately a vacancy arises that they are considered to be suitable for. The Company maintains a database of over 42,000 industry professionals covering all the oil industry engineering & technical disciplines. The professional personnel in the database are screened for suitability before being entered into the database and the database is fully searchable enabling a short list of potential candidates to be drawn up very quickly. The database is also used to draw up lists of personnel to be contacted for referrals for vacancies even though they may not be suitable for the vacancy themselves or may not be interested themselves. This enables candidates to be identified who may not be actively looking for work but may, nevertheless, be interested in specific vacancies. Additionally Frontier subscribe to a number of specialist international databases that are also searched for candidates and referrals in the same way that the Frontier database is used. Frontier maintains corporate LinkedIn licences for it’s recruiters and researchers which provide access to all subscribers to the LinkedIn network (rather than only to 1st, 2nd and 3rd level contacts as is the case with personal LinkedIn account) these are utilised extensively to identify candidates or request referrals to candidate who

may not be actively looking for work.

Referrals of one kind or another from industry professionals provide Frontier with the best source of passive

candidates (those not actively looking for work) and these are regularly generated from the strategies already









mentioned above. In addition, Frontier have recently implemented a strategy of organising events and competitions

designed to generate further referrals.

Some or all of the above mentioned strategies are applied to each new vacancy as appropriate with the emphasis on

getting to candidates who are unlikely to be actively looking at advertised vacancies as well as those who are.

Frontier HSEQ Frontier operates a robust HSEQ management system in accordance with ISO9001 2008 and is accredited by FPal,

Achilles and ISNetworld. Frontier is also a “Verified” FPal/Achilles supplier. Quality management is aimed at capturing

best practice and at continuous improvement in recruitment policies and procedures. The system is audited by our

major oil & gas clients and Plexus are welcome to audit the system or receive a full electronic copy for review.

A copy of the Frontier HSEQ Policy is provided in the Appendices to this document.

Frontier Company Values Frontier aims to be the most successful provider in its field with respect to complete customer satisfaction for both

Clients and Candidates.

We give the highest priority to health, safety and environment when making business decisions and believe that a

strong HSEQ culture contributes significantly to our long-term business success.

Frontier commits to promoting diversity in all areas of employment and to providing an inclusive working

environment where everyone feels valued and respected, irrespective of their race, gender, marital/civil partnership

status, age, disability, religion or belief, colour, national origin or sexual orientation.

Our ethical policy sets ground rules based on honesty, promise-keeping, fairness, respect, compassion and integrity.

We believe that success should be rewarded.

Is Frontier Able to Deal with Local Tax, Payroll and Support Issues Internationally? Frontier’s strategy has been to set up an organisation capable of providing global payroll, compliance and concierge

solutions (including onboarding, tax compliance, visas, work permits, etc.) to support our global recruitment business.

The objective is for Frontier to be able to provide these local services to our oil & gas customers globally wherever

they might be required.

Is Frontier Able to Assist its Clients with their Benchmarking Activity? Frontier continuously monitors minimum and maximum pay rates, UK and international, for all of the engineering

and technical disciplines within the company’s scope of supply. This data is routinely shared with a number of major

clients including BP, Shell and Talisman. Taking the example of one major Operator as a case study, Frontier provides

data to the contract holder on a quarterly basis for a range of disciplines selected by the Operator. This data is then

plotted against similar data provided by other recruitment agencies on the Operators preferred supplier list and

against data from the Operator’s own working contractors. This information is used by the Operator to adjust pay








rates on an annual basis (or more often if market rates are moving quickly and they feel this is necessary). We are

pleased to share benchmarking data with clients with whom we do business.

Additional Services Frontier is able to provide services as outlined below and we would be pleased to submit proposals on a case by case

basis. This would include operations management in the fields of well completion, well intervention and advanced
