2. Why Choose ZECO? Experienced company serving the Rocky
Mountain Area with Quality Equipment and Superior Service Since
1991; Highly trained dependable service technicians; Green Hat
Hands On Training Program. Green Hats are trained for 28 days
straight to allow them to experience the entire well process form
spud to TD. All new hires spend no less than a week at either our
Vernal or North Dakota shop, learning our equipment, Safety Program
and Field Procedures. A Green Hat accompanies two certified
technicians on location at no additional charge to the Operator;
High performance equipment that is both durable and reliable;
Additional services offered include trucking, disposal and drying
agent to eliminate additional invoices and time spent by the
operator in regard to these services. We in turn work for the
operator to get the best trucking and disposal cost we can to help
lower over all costs. Once the cuttings come off the rig, they are
ZECOs responsibility and the operator does not have to think about
them again; Competitive pricing; and Our On-Site Technicians as
well as our Service Technicians work a two week on/two week off
schedule that is staggered in such a way that only one technician
leaves for days off per week in order to ensure that there is
always someone on the rig who is up to date and has an
understanding of what is happening on location rather than having
two fresh technicians arriving as the other two leave.

5. Work History Since January of 2012, ZECO has successfully
operated solids control systems on over 170 complete wells across
Western North Dakota, Eastern Montana, Colorado, Wyoming and Utah
for Operators including Whiting Petroleum, American Eagle
Resources, XTO Energy, Liberty Resources, Kodiak Oil & Gas and
Enduro Operating. ZECO has operated full solids control packages on
over 40 surface sections for Operators including Triangle, Slawson,
Enerplus and Fidelity. While on Frontier 14 for Whiting Petroleum
and upon completion of both surfaces during a 2 well batch drilling
job, no vac load trucks were needed. At ZECO we take pride in our
work and as a result, our team is not only known for our high
quality service but also our equipment. ZECOs top notch dewatering
units along with our highly trained technicians have proven that
our clients are able to haul off clean water for reuse on
additional jobs.
6. Past Work Performance Customer Performance Evaluations:
Efficient with using fly ash. No spills. They take care of their
camps and make their equipment and work area look good. They are
willing to help with whatever you ask. Cant say enough about them.

They do what it takes to make the operation work. The best people
and equipment. ~ XTO Energy (click here to see full Performance
Evaluation) Nabors B08 batch drilled three surfaces, once our hands
finished dewatering after they completed the third surface the
company man had the water hauled up the road to another XTO rig for
additional surface drilling. ZECO hands make the difference. ~

14. - VERTICAL CUTTINGS DRYERS - ZECOs Vertical Cuttings Dryers
(VCDs) are one of the industrys finest performing and most
dependable cutting dryers. Our VCDs can reduce liquid content to
less than 5% with lower maintenance costs than our competition and
provides substantial reduction to the oil-in-cuttings ratio to help
meet state and federal regulations for waste disposal. This is
achieved while managing 40 to 60 tons per hour of high ROP drill
cuttings. VCDs offer a waste management solution to effectively
clean and dispose of drilling solids and maximize drilling fluid
returns specific to our customer's needs. Oil-based and synthetic-
based drilling fluid are expensive and recycling for reuse will
lower overhead costs.
15. - VERTICAL CUTTINGS DRYERS - ZECOs rugged, continuous
vertical cuttings dryers are fed via screw conveyor, vacuum system,
or rotary-lobe solids pump from the flow-line shakers. Our fluid
clutch provides a smooth and easy start before drill cuttings are
fed into the hopper and distributed along the inner wall of the
screen with the aid of the rotor. The liquid phase, or filtrate,
passes through the screen openings while the vertical scraper with
sintered tungsten carbide tiles scrape the accumulating cake solids
towards the bottom of the VCD for disposal. The filtrate gravity
flows into a containment tank and pumped to a high speed decanter
centrifuge. Dried cuttings are then safely discharged,
significantly improving liquid phase recovery, cheaper than the
cost of replacement fluid and minimal waste to be transported and
disposed of.
18. - DRYING SHAKERS - Features: Increased Flow Capacity;
Longer Screen Life; Drier Discharge; Rugged and Simple; and Low
Maintenance.
19. - MUD CLEANERS - The ZECO Mud Cleaner uses a unique two-
stage mechanical process to remove fine drill solids. By a
combination of cycloning and screening, the entire circulating
volume is stripped of sand without significant loss of valuable
weighting materials, chemicals or fluids. The ZECO round Mud
Cleaners can be double screened to efficiently return LCM to the
active system. Features: 400 GPM Capacity; High Efficiency; High
Reliability; and Low Maintenance.

25. - VACUUM DEGASSER - ZECO Vacuum Degasser ZECO degassers
provide effective degassing with high throughput by means of a
unique centrifugal- vacuum design. ZECO degassers are capable of
handling high viscosity 20 pound mud with a 50% gas cut. They can
draw up to 800 GPM and discharge as much as 400 GPM. The ZECO
degassing system is totally self contained on one skid. Both
suction and discharge pumps are powered by a single electric motor.
HOW IT WORKS The mud is drawn into the degasser by a vacuum pump at
a constant vacuum level and spins in the centrifugal degassing
tubes at forces up to 25 g's. Mud flowing through the degassing
tube inlets disperses in thin layers around the tube walls to
maximize exposure of the mud surface to vacuum. As the mud spins
through the tubes, the lighter, entrained gas bubbles "rise" to the
surface of the mud where they burst. The heavier mud is sprayed,
with considerable impact, into a turbulence hood, breaking out
remaining gases. Gas is discharged through a blower to atmosphere
or to a flare line. Degassed mud is returned to the mud system
through a specially designed centrifugal discharge pump.
26. - ATMOSPHERIC DEGASSER - Field proven performance. For 30
years the impact, plus turbulence principle of degassing has been
proven successful. It employs a simple concept of degassing gas cut
mud in a clean, safe and efficient manner. The degasser consists of
a submerged centrifugal pump and an elevated spray tank. Spiral
ducting of the pump inlet causes the mud to form a whirlpool above
the center of the impeller. Any gas that leaves the mud in the
impeller moves to the whirlpool and escapes upward through the pump
frame. The gas cut mud in the impeller flows up through the riser
pipe to the spray tank. A disc valve above the end of the riser
pipe forms circular orifice which the mud flows through, forming a
high velocity sheet. The mud sheet strikes the inside wall of the
tank with enough turbulence and mixing to drive the small gas
bubbles out of the mud.
