4 REASONS CALFRAC IS A LEADING


ENERGY SERVICES INVESTMENT

Calfrac is an integral part


of the oil and natural
gas sectors growing
focus on unconventional
development, which is
more capital-intensive
on a per-well basis.
The Company was
early to recognize
and position itself for
this transformation,
with the right people,
equipment, locations and
technologies. Calfrac is
competitive in any well
completions scenario,
no matter how large,
complex or logistically
challenging.

Calfrac is keenly
focused on maximizing
returns on invested
capital, to the benet
of its shareholders. The
Companys management
team is directly
incentivized to maximize
earnings from its asset
base. Calfrac practices
disciplined nancial
management, with a
keen eye on cost control,
and invests only when
returns warrant the
incremental capital.

Our strong balance


sheet. This includes almost
$400 million in opening
2012 working capital,
virtually untapped
$250 million of credit
facilities and US$450
million of 7.5 percent
senior unsecured notes due
in 2020. Calfracs strong
nancial position and
liquidity provide exibility
for the Company to
pursue the highest-return
opportunities. Calfracs
2011 capital expenditures
were primarily funded from
cash ow and the same is
expected for 2012.

Calfracs international
platform in Russia and
Latin America creates
revenue stability
through geographical
diversication today,
plus exposure to longterm upside potential
as international markets
mature and begin the
shift to unconventional
well completions.

4 REASONS CALFRAC IS A PREMIER


ENERGY SERVICES PROVIDER

Technology is the
foundation. Todays
unconventional well
completions are not a
commodity. Success
depends on thorough
science, sound judgment
and continuously
improving products
and processes. It is no
coincidence that Calfrac
is a leading completions
provider in key
unconventional plays.

Strong safety systems,


thorough training and
diligent environmental
management. This is
the way Calfrac believes
in operating, and it
is also the way more
and more stakeholders
require service providers
to operate. We invest
continually to keep
improving in these
areas, just as we do
in our equipment and
technologies.

Were positioned in the


right places with the right
people and the right
equipment, offering the
right solutions. Weve
made the investments
required to meet our
customers expectations,
and the commitments
needed to gain critical
mass and a competitive
operating presence
in key plays across
North America and
internationally.

We understand
what todays well
completions are all
about: generating
conductivity for
commercial hydrocarbons
through ever-more
challenging reservoirs,
yielding productive wells
with improving capital
efciency. All the while
reducing environmental
footprints.

LETTER TO
SHAREHOLDERS
Doug Ramsay
Chief Executive Ofcer

OUR 3,400 EMPLOYEES,


COMBINED WITH
CUSTOMERS AND
INVESTORS, ARE THE
REASONS FOR OUR
SUCCESS
The latest phase of Calfracs growth has been
astounding. The Companys annual revenue broke
through $1 billion and grew at a record rate of
64 percent year-over-year to over $1.5 billion for
2011. Strengthening margins in our Canadian and
U.S. markets drove year-over-year doubling of EBITDA
to $398.7 million. Reecting this growing nancial
strength, we most recently increased Calfracs
semi-annual dividend from $0.10 per share to
$0.50 per share. This provides additional returns to
our shareholders and broadens our investor base.
Calfracs superb team of just over 3,400 people ably
executed our plans and achieved all our goals for 2011.
Day after day, they demonstrated that they are truly
ready for anything. Responding to market demand,
we expanded the fracturing eet, exiting the year with
over 700,000 hydraulic horsepower, while adding two
new cementing units. We expanded our U.S. business
in the Marcellus shale gas play and in the Bakken and
Niobrara shale oil plays. Our Canadian business greatly
outperformed, with expanding activity in multiple
unconventional oil and liquids-rich gas plays delivering
49 percent of Calfracs annual revenue and 63 percent
of operating income.
We continued our leadership in technologies, as
Calfrac innovations like SlickPro and CleanTech
uid systems gained widespread customer acceptance
across North America. We met our customers desire
for increased 24-hour operations, with approximately
40 percent of our North American fracturing spreads
working around-the-clock. The increased equipment

CALFRAC WELL SERVICES LTD.

utilization creates both revenue and earnings leverage.


Meanwhile, we secured more revenue through longterm contracts, reducing overall business risk.
Internationally, we performed our 1,000th fracturing
job in Mexico, where business conditions improved
over 2010. Results in Russia met our expectations in
a difcult operating environment, and we achieved
consistent margins year-over-year. We entered the
Colombia market, performing our rst cementing job
in September. In Argentina, where we currently provide
cementing and coiled tubing services, we intend to
enter the fracturing market sometime in 2012.

Strategic Drivers
Being an international pressure pumping service
provider involves many moving parts, but one can
evaluate Calfracs performance by looking at three
main strategic drivers: diversication, technological
innovation and the unconventional resource revolution.
Calfrac is diversied by geography across and within
regions by commodity and by play type. Last year,
we continued to diversify our U.S. business in all three
ways. We grew our oil well completions work and
broadened activities from established unconventional
plays to emerging growth plays. Our strategy is to
carefully select a market and then work towards a
critical mass of multiple fracturing spreads rather than
having a marginal presence in numerous markets. This
is key to operating an efcient business that generates
good margins.

Our Canadian business has done a virtual 180-degree


turn from several years ago. Revenue growth of
49 percent year-over-year and delivery of a record
4,165 fracturing jobs in 2011 exceeded expectations.
This once again showed the wisdom of diversication, as
we levered our established presence to keep pace with
demand growth particularly in liquids-focused work.
Market activity was intense across North America
due to producers growing focus on horizontal wells
incorporating sophisticated completions. These are
no longer experimental technologies and in many
areas we have moved into factory-style operations. In
others the testing of new play types and renement
of technology applications continue. Many of the
unconventional reservoirs are more variable than
expected, especially on the oil side, requiring a range
of uid systems and processes to achieve success over
multiple wells. Having our competitive technology
platform provided the leverage for success and
enabled us to thrive.
Its important to understand Calfracs approach to
technology. We consider ourselves innovators not
inventors. We take existing chemicals and blend them
in new ways to work better, and we adapt equipment
long established in other industries. Our team includes
dedicated and skilled scientists. But we dont perform
science experiments on our customers wells we
apply proven methodologies. We emphasize the D in
R&D. Thats because we care about our customers and
their success. The way Calfrac applies new technologies
doesnt represent new risks, it reduces our business
risks and our customers technical risks in bringing

(1) As the Companys IFRS transition date was January 1, 2010, diluted

new oil and natural gas wells on-stream. We also


focus heavily on logistics to ensure we have sufcient
materials on-site exactly when needed, so that our
customers wells are completed efciently.

Extending the Unconventional


Resource Revolution
Diversication and technology, combined with
our growing eet of modern equipment and our
strengthening track record and reputation, enable
Calfrac to participate in the continuing unconventional
resource revolution. Last year we were active in four
major U.S. unconventional plays the Fayetteville and
Marcellus shale gas plays, and the Bakken and Niobrara
shale oil plays. We expanded our presence in three
of the four and started building permanent operating
bases in North Dakota and Pennsylvania.
In Canada we are serving most of the regions
established and emerging unconventional plays. To
take two examples, we performed two large projects in
the Horn River Muskwa shale gas play and participated
in testing the Duvernay shale, a promising liquids-rich
reservoir. On the oil side we were active in the earlystage development of exciting emerging plays such as
the Alberta Bakken, Slave Point, Swan Hills carbonates
and Dunvegan.
The North American producing sector continued to
increase its focus on unconventional wells. The ratio
of horizontal wells reached approximately 55 percent
of all wells drilled, lateral legs of horizontal wells
continued to lengthen, the average number and size
of fractures per well continued to increase, and there

COMPLETIONS PROFILE

was more multi-well pad drilling. The well completion


phases at times accounted for close to 60 percent of
the costs of drilling and bringing a new well on-stream.
This is highly material to Calfracs operations and
nancial results. A single multi-well contract in a shale
play like the Horn River can generate over 10 percent
of Calfracs fracturing stages performed that quarter in
the entire Canadian market. This again demonstrates
that the health of our sector is no longer driven
primarily by the overall number of wells drilled in a
region, but by the average well completions prole.
Todays unconventional oil and natural gas plays are
economic due to efciency gains made over the past
ve years in every phase of well drilling, completions
and operations. Calfrac is helping its customers
transform these plays into growth engines that 10 years
ago were considered either innately uneconomic or
once-productive but tired. Overall, the unconventional
oil plays are earlier in the development cycle than
unconventional natural gas plays, the oldest of which
now have over a decades history. More unconventional
opportunities are being made feasible, while the
break-even commodity price at established plays is
driven downward.
To take one example, an Alberta-based intermediate
producer last year reported doubling the economics
of its activity in the Cardium oil play by applying a new
fracturing uid system. The gains are not always this
dramatic, but the point is the same: better drilling,
better completions, better uids, and improvements
to every other step continually improve efciencies.
This process provides plays like the Cardium with a
10

CALFRAC WELL SERVICES LTD.

geographical halo an extended area where the rock


quality and/or the resource-in-place were previously
insufcient, that now is amenable to expanding
the play.
Calfracs technology innovations are helping producers
unlock these plays. Certain unconventional reservoirs
are viable with precisely one uid system out of all the
uids developed over the industrys nearly 60 years
of hydraulic fracturing. Others work with several
but one proves optimal, or the best approach varies
within the reservoir. Albertas Cardium Formation, for
example, is very diverse, and Calfracs ability to offer
multiple fracture designs, based on being current
with the evolving science, creates advantages. These
technologies and processes make more and more
reservoirs productive extending and consolidating the
unconventional resource revolution that began with the
Barnett Shale in Texas over 10 years ago.

Safety and Environmental Protection


Safety and environmental protection are core values at
Calfrac because we care deeply about our people,
our customers and the communities in which we
operate. I would like to commend the Companys
people for doing an amazing job at every level.
On environmental stewardship, we have deployed
10 new uid products that meet our rigorous internal
standards for being green. Were rmly committed to
being stewards of water resources through measures
such as repeatedly re-using owback and produced
water, and by developing alternative uid systems with
higher proportions of nitrogen or carbon dioxide. We

REVENUE BY
OPERATING SEGMENT

Canada 49%

continue to strive for better water conservation systems


that increase recycling of fracturing uids and/or
reduce the initial volume of water required. We deploy
uid systems and equipment that enable us to use nonpotable water such as treated municipal wastewater
from Dawson Creek, B.C. and mining water from the
coal dewatering process in Pennsylvania.
Calfrac always follows best practices, and we believe
that in consequence hydraulic fracturing is physically
safe and environmentally non-harmful. Regarding
demands from some groups that fracturing companies
disclose their chemistries, we are on the record in
supporting complete transparency regarding the
materials that we pump down the well. What we wish
to keep condential for competitive reasons are the
exact blends and proportions.
In safety, Calfracs behaviour-based approach is
working very well. An example: our safety group is
vetting newly planned equipment to look for ways to
engineer in additional safety. At the personnel level
we work hard to foster an attitude of everyone looking
after one another in the shop, on the job site, and in
transit. Our managers make a habit of saying, If you
feel you cant go out and do the job safely and come
back safely, then you shouldnt go out today.
Calfracs safety policy includes Goal Zero, and we
have proved that it is achievable. Our Grand Junction,
Colorado district operated for 365 days without a losttime incident, as did the logistics department of our
Grande Prairie, Alberta district. Calfracs overall safety
performance in 2011 was excellent, with improvement
in both key performance indicators.

Safety also has a business dimension. We believe


our large, sophisticated customers choose Calfrac in
part because of our safety system and performance.
Safety itself is therefore incentivized at Calfrac. A
portion of every employees bonus is tied to the
Companys safety performance, and the same goes
for senior management. Our Board of Directors is also
directly involved through its Safety Committee that
meets regularly, monitors performance and makes
recommendations.

People Really Do Make the Difference


At Calfrac we have long said that it is people who
make the difference. As the Company and its business
become larger and more sophisticated, and as labour
markets in the energy sector tighten, we are continually
rening and improving the way we approach
recruitment, training and retention. Programs initiated
in 2010 and 2011 have been very successful.
In Canada, about 30 percent of our staff now are
rotational, coming mainly from Atlantic Canada. In
addition to maintaining a well-thought-out program
for the rotational workers, our new EAP program helps
out their families by offering support while the worker
is away from home. Our U.S. ying squads from
Colorado and Arkansas proved a highly successful
way to lever the skills of seasoned specialists as we
introduced services to new markets.
We have also enhanced our training and retraining
programs so that people are going out into the eld
with greater condence. Recruitment in areas such as
Pennsylvania rose as people learned about the depth

of opportunity and quality of employment with Calfrac.
In North Dakota, where unemployment is very low, we
continued to recruit locally, strong evidence of
Calfracs attractiveness.
Our benets programs are stronger than ever,
including retirement-oriented programs that have
seen enrolment in the 401k program in the U.S.
increase from about 30 percent to 90 percent, and
participation in our Canadian RRSP program increase
to nearly 60 percent. And amidst hiring many hundreds
of people over the past 18 months we have reduced
our annual turnover rate from approximately 40
percent to about 30 percent. These trends suggest
we are persuading more employees to refocus from
transient employment to thinking of Calfrac as a place
to build a career.

2012 Outlook and Plans


Calfracs management team foresees the unconventional
resource revolution further unfolding through 2012, a
landscape in which Calfrac will continue applying the
strengths that have delivered success to date. The
expected trends include further growth in the average
length of horizontal wellbores, requiring more average
fractures per well, greater fracturing intensity per
wellbore, as well as continued application of newer
uid systems and chemistries, more 24-hour operations
and multi-well pad drilling and completions. We
expect these techniques to continue mainstreaming
existing unconventional reservoirs and to test new
opportunities.

12

CALFRAC WELL SERVICES LTD.

We do not believe the industry will overbuild in 2012.


In budgeting for 2012, we modelled lower crude
oil prices than we expect, and the result was still
expansion of our business due to the industrys drive
for greater efciency, the application of more and
more technology, and our ability to provide value to
customers, resulting in productive, protable wells.
Calfrac entered 2012 with long-term debt of only
$450.5 million. The large majority of our U.S. fracturing
capacity and budgeted 2012 revenue are under
long-term contract. We expect to realize efciency
gains from the critical mass of crews deployed in 2011,
combined with the ongoing shift to 24-hour operations,
wherein we have entire spreads committed year-round.
We see continued opportunity to grow our presence
in existing operating areas, such as in the Niobrara
oil shale, and to become active in new plays. The
outlook in Canada is also upbeat. We think Calfrac
will also achieve strong revenue and EBITDA in 2012.
Planned capital expenditures of $271 million will bring
horsepower to approximately 970,000 by year-end.
Were also looking farther ahead, to a time when North
American technologies are applied in a systematic
way to unconventional reservoirs abroad. This will be
a long-term process spanning multiple years, but I
believe we will start seeing horizontal wells completed
with multi-stage fracturing over the next one to two
years. Unconventional oil and natural gas reservoirs
around the world are awaiting this approach, and
Calfrac is very well-positioned.

The Russian market remains focused on vertical


wells, creating immense potential to grow through
horizontal drilling. For the short term, we will refrain
from deploying additional capital to that market.
Argentina by some estimates has the worlds
third-largest technically recoverable shale resource
potential, following China and the United States.
Yet the entire market has perhaps 200,000
pressure pumping horsepower, little of it suited to
unconventional work. There are signs modernization
could be about to begin.
Calfrac is positioned in four of the worlds top six
shale resource areas: Canada, the U.S., Mexico
and Argentina. Should development of any major
international shale play move into high gear, the
Company expects to follow its international expansion
strategy by building new equipment to service these
opportunities. In the event of weaker market conditions
in North America, some of this equipment could
potentially be redeployed from this market. Although
the timing and pace remain uncertain, the opportunity
is immense.
Although we foresee growth throughout 2012 and
into 2013, we are ready for almost any scenario. We
are cognizant of the many sources of economic risk
and instability outside our industry. This company
has been built for long-term sustainability, and senior
management members all have a strong vested
interest. Geographical and commodity diversication
provides a measure of downside protection against
regional economic instability. While we cannot control
a global economic downturn, we have managed our

business well enough that we can react quickly to


reduce our costs.
Calfrac has adjusted, adapted and grown through
three previous downturns in its operating history, and
these experiences served the Company well. During
the last downturn, in 2009, we were among the rst
to recognize the situation. We reduced our costs and
beneted accordingly, producing superior nancial
metrics within our peer group. And we used our strong
balance sheet to transform a downturn into a growth
opportunity by making our best two acquisitions in
this period. Today we are even stronger, with a record
proportion of our much larger revenue base anchored
in longer-term contracts, providing a new source
of stability.
I would like to extend heartfelt thanks to every member
of the Calfrac team and to our Board of Directors for
everyones hard work, dedication and contribution to
our Companys success in 2011.

The number of horizontal

of hydraulic fractures
all continued to grow
across North America
in 2011. This increase
in service intensity for
oil and natural gas well

as Calfrac.

While the majority of

Today, most industry
activity is focused on oil

North America.

The mainstreaming
of horizontal wells

The Grand Old Man of


Exploration, Wallace
Pratt, famously observed that, Where oil is rst
found, in the nal analysis, is in the minds of men. He
meant that the resource already exists but it takes
peoples ingenuity to recognize it is there and extract
it economically. It was people applying and rening
current technologies horizontal wells completed
with multi-stage fracturing who revived a reservoir
discovered nearly 60 years ago but long considered in
terminal decline: the Alberta Cardium.
The Cardium is a case study of the unconventional
resource revolution at work. Now in its fourth full year
as a horizontal development, the Cardium continues
to grow and generate strong economics for dozens
of producing companies. Along with several other
unconventional oil reservoirs, the Cardium has halted
and begun to reverse the seemingly continuous decline
of light/medium-gravity oil production in Alberta and
across western Canada.
Calfrac is a leading service provider in this play,
performing its rst fracturing job on a Cardium
horizontal well in early 2009. Since then the Company

has placed thousands of fracturing intervals, with three
fracturing crews deployed to the play throughout 2011
and into 2012.
The Cardium is a relatively thin yet complex sand, silt
and shale reservoir lying at a depth of 1,200-2,400
metres and extending from the Alberta-Montana
border to northeast B.C. Its core is the gigantic
Pembina eld in west central Alberta, the largest
conventional light oil pool ever discovered in Canada,
with an estimated 9.4 billion barrels of original-oilin-place. Discovered in 1953 by the legendary Arne
Nielsen and several others, the Pembina Cardiums
production peaked in the mid-1970s (along with
overall Alberta conventional oil production). Despite
secondary and tertiary recovery programs, it seemed in
terminal decline.
Yet only 1.5 billion barrels of Cardium oil had been
produced as of year-end 2010, leaving a vast resource
in the ground. Because it is a less permeable or
tighter sandstone, historical development focused on
the pools highest-quality central area. That left large
undeveloped areas as the unconventional resource
revolution turned its attention to the Cardium.

The rst known Cardium horizontal well completed


with multi-stage fracturing was drilled in November
2008. The new play took off by the third quarter of
2009, and excitement spread throughout the industry:
an estimated 100 wells were drilled in 2009, a further
500 in 2010, and by the middle of 2011 the 1,000th
horizontal Cardium well had been drilled. Production
soared from essentially zero as of mid-2009 to an
estimated 38,000 barrels per day of high-quality, light
crude oil (not including solution gas) as of early 2011.
The Cardium horizontal play now extends from the
Lochend eld just outside Calgary to the Kakwa area
near Grande Cache.
Producers have been reporting excellent results,
including 30-day initial production per well averaging
150-175 barrels per day, netbacks of $55-65 per barrel
at US$90 per barrel WTI, net present value exceeding
$4 million per well, and internal rates of return as high
as 100 percent. The play has considerable variability,
however, and not all Cardium well results are this
strong. By mid-year 2011 the industry had invested
a cumulative $3.5 billion and reported proved plus
probable reserve additions of 150 million barrels of
light oil plus solution gas.
The plays variability is motivating producers to
continually seek ways to improve their results through
well-by-well experimentation and collective experience.
Producers have steadily increased the average length
of horizontal well legs and the average number of
fracturing stages (please see graphs), while fracture size
has averaged about 20 tonnes per interval.
Calfrac works closely with its customers to optimize
per-well results and drive ongoing, incremental

improvements in productivity and costs. In addition


to offering modern equipment and experienced
crews, Calfrac helped pioneer slickwater fracturing
in the Cardium. Applied at very high pumping
rates, slickwater creates a longer and more complex
fracturing network in the Cardium, accessing more
reservoir than a conventional gelled-hycrocarbon frac.
The Companys patented, proprietary CleanTech
foamed fracturing uid has also proved highly
successful over numerous wells, while reducing
water usage.
Both approaches have delivered strong productivity,
while driving down costs by up to half-a-million dollars
per well completion. One producer reports that
switching to slickwater has reduced the estimated
payout period for a Cardium horizontal well from
4.7 years to only 1.6 years. Calfrac also applies other
techniques to help its customers reduce costs, such
as adding nitrogen to fracturing uids and recycling/
reusing fracturing uids.
Dozens of producers have reported plans to drill
Cardium wells in 2012, which could set another
record. Combined with several other key plays such
as the Bakken in Saskatchewan, overall tight or
unconventional light to medium-gravity oil production
across western Canada has grown from essentially
zero in 2006 to 180,000 barrels per day by early 2011.
Thanks to these dramatic results, the decades-old
production decline in Alberta and across western
Canada attened in 2010 and reversed into growth
in 2011. Its possible that Cardium horizontal light oil
production alone could approach 100,000 barrels per
day in 2012 or 2013.

LONG-TERM POTENTIAL FOR UNCONVENTIONAL DEVELOPMENT


With North American energy development
clearly revolutionized, Calfrac believes there is
expansive longer-term opportunity to apply similar
methodologies worldwide. The key requirements
will be recognition and commitment by the local
jurisdictions, followed by investment, testing,
delineation and de-risking.
Calfrac is solidly positioned to participate, with
established operations in three markets that have
large and undeveloped unconventional resources,
plus conventional elds still relying on historical
technology: Russia, Mexico and Argentina.
Argentina has technically recoverable shale gas
resources estimated at 774 trillion cubic feet, while
Mexico is not far behind at 681 trillion cubic feet
not counting any unconventional oil potential. The
Companys international platform is ready.
In Russia, horizontal wells are still relatively rare,
but there is modest initial activity and the use of
horizontal wells applied to oil targets could begin
to grow. Russias natural gas production from
conventional wells remains prolic for the moment.

In Argentina, important exploratory work has


established the presence of a large unconventional
resource, the Vaca Muerta shale in the Neuquen
Basin. Lying at a depth of 2,800-3,850 metres, the
Vaca Muertas reservoir characteristics have been
likened to the Eagle Ford shale in Texas. Production
of liquids-rich gas and oil has ballooned in the
past several years as the Eagle Fords technical
challenges were studied and overcome. The
Vaca Muerta is an extremely thick shale with
original-oil-in-place estimated at 13.5 billion
barrels over several million acres.
Recent testing by a major international producer
with 20 vertical wells has resulted in strong
initial production of high-quality light oil from
over-pressured zones, plus condensate, natural
gas liquids and natural gas. Other major producers
have exposure to the Vaca Muerta eld and activity
is expected to accelerate.
The Vaca Muerta eld will likely have a slower
development prole than U.S. shales, but the
long-term potential is immense.

CALFRACS PEOPLE ADVANCING TECHNOLOGY

In 2011 Calfrac further advanced technology-focused


improvements to equipment, processes and chemical
formulations to help its customers achieve productive
wells while using greener materials and reducing the
overall environmental footprint of pressure-pumping
operations. This effort is led by the Companys
Technology and Training Centre in Calgary, Alberta,
complemented by a newly opened facility in
Louisville, Colorado.
The oil and natural gas producing sector is working
aggressively to minimize its fresh water usage, in
part by substituting non-freshwater as hydraulic
fracturing uid. As a company that believes in good
environmental stewardship as part of its corporate
philosophy, Calfrac works continuously to provide
uid blends that overcome the technical challenges of
lower-quality water, as well as uids that reduce water
volume requirements, while retaining high performance
in the wellbore, cost-effectiveness and environmental
friendliness.

that use recycled water provided by the customer.
Producers are using water with higher concentration
of impurities such as salt. While challenging, this is
important to realizing the industrys goal of recycling
ow-back and produced water, as well as sourcing
lower-quality makeup water. This can include treated
municipal wastewater, acidic water from mine tailings,
wastewater from industrial facilities, and non-potable
water from approved underground formations, many
of which contain a high proportion of total dissolved
solids. Calfrac is advancing these technologies and
rening its chemistries on a daily basis, using water of
a quality that would not have been possible even two
years ago.
Groundwater protection during well site operations is
another area of public concern, and Calfrac is striving
to improve the performance of cement blends and
provide improved well design, construction and quality
control to ensure achievement of rigorous standards.

The Bakken reservoir in Saskatchewan is overlain with the more permeable,


water-bearing Lodgepole Formation. Poorly designed stimulations can result
in fractures propagating into this zone, resulting in excessive water produced
with the desired oil. Calfrac developed a synthetic polymer water-based uid
that can transport the required amount of proppant at reduced pumping

remain within the target reservoir, maximizing the ratio of oil production.
Conceived and tested in 2010, Calfrac anticipates applying this approach to

technology teams in both countries were bolstered in
2011 and the combined team now numbers over 100.

Calfrac continues to increase capabilities at the


Calgary Technology and Training Centre, its global
headquarters for technology development, testing,
quality control and development of internal processes
and standards. In 2011 Calfrac commissioned its
custom-made ow loop tester for continuous use.
It measures the friction of customer-supplied base
uids with combinations of additives, to ensure that
blends often using lower-quality water perform as
intended. The ow loop can also simulate cold-weather
operations to test uid performance, important for
customers attempting to reduce heating costs during
winter operations by pumping colder uids.

Calfrac works continuously to improve its


environmental management. In 2011 the Company
initiated an environmental communications plan
that includes disclosure of chemicals and materials
used throughout its operations. Calfrac understands
the need for chemical disclosure and provides this
information in a controlled manner.

The Company also commissioned its scale loop or


dynamic tube-block tester, which determines the rate
of scaling of customer-supplied water and the need for
scale inhibitors. Calfrac added the ability to test cores
physical reservoir samples for their ability to regain
permeability following leak-off by various uid blends.
Reecting continued growth and increased scope
of operations in the United States, Calfrac in 2011
expanded its facility in Louisville, Colorado from a
district lab to a regional Technology and Training
Center. The facility is equipped with a high-tech
water lab including a ow-loop tester, scale loop
and an inductively coupled plasma analyzer. The
greater capability has dramatically increased Calfracs
customer response speed, testing and quality control
throughput, and overall ability to provide solutions in
the United States.
Also in 2011 Calfrac added two new district labs, one
each in North Dakota and Pennsylvania, and expanded

Environmental Management

Work is ongoing on Calfracs waste management


and spill prevention systems, with improved controls,
management, mitigation and auditing/inspection. The
Company has a strong record and in 2011 recorded
further reductions in incidents, including fewer waste
management incidents and greatly reduced uid spill
volume despite much greater eld activity. As with
its safety performance, Calfracs ultimate target is to
achieve zero spills and the Company will set specic
objectives, tasks and intermediate goals with a view to
continuous improvement.
In 2011 the Company implemented more specic
procedures for handling waste, and introduced
biodegradable cleaners and natural soaps for cleaning
parts and equipment in its shops, thereby reducing
the volume of non-green waste. Calfrac also operates
recycling programs for tires, batteries, used light
bulbs, printer cartridges, paper and cardboard. Overall
Calfrac seeks to reuse any materials that it can.
For 2012 Calfracs major goal is to develop a standalone environmental management system based on the
ISO 14000 standard, in addition to achieving further
improvements in the key areas of spill prevention,
waste management and compliance.

Safety is clearly of great concern to customers,
regulators and shareholders. Along with service,
Calfrac recognizes safety as critical to its success. Safety
also meshes with Calfracs philosophy of People First,
a value it has held since its foundation. As Calfrac
has grown, so has the sophistication of its journey to
improved safety performance.
Calfrac achieved solid improvement in its two key
safety performance indicators in 2011, as indicated
in the accompanying graphs. This came amidst the
Companys rapid expansion, with hundreds of new
employees hired during the year and a near-doubling
of overall employee-hours worked under hazard

In 2011 Calfracs Health, Safety and Environment


department initiated a strategic review of the
Calfrac Management System, for years the heart of
the Companys approach to safety, with the goal
of meeting the new OHSAS 18000 standard. The
review found that Calfrac has done well in safety, but
can do better. The current focus is to drive further
performance improvement through a mix of new
management tools, improved employee safety training
and continued engagement by senior management.
The Company continues to work towards Goal Zero
no lost-time incidents Company-wide.
In 2011 Calfrac began developing a behaviour-based
safety system (BBS), approved by the Board of
Directors and is being implemented this year. Building
on the Companys past work on materials, conditions
and procedures, BBS focuses on the human factors
and behaviour behind safety incidents. The purpose
is to communicate causes and ways of prevention
throughout the organization to ensure employees are
working in accordance with expected behaviour, while
conducting programs that modify risky behaviour.
Front-line supervisors, having constant interaction with
employees, are key to the success of BBS.

The roll-out began with the incident reporting module,
to be followed by the audit and compliance module

throughput capability using facilities in Grande Prairie
and Calgary.

In 2011 Calfrac received its renewed, three-year


Certicate of Recognition (COR) in Alberta, the key
regulatory document certifying that a company has
implemented an approved safety system appropriate
to its industry sector.

In late 2011 Calfrac launched a competency project,


proling every level of eld operator, including
differentiators between levels to create clear criteria for
competency development and promotion. This year,
key maintenance positions will be similarly evaluated
and categorized.

The Safety group is also conducting Hazard


Identication (HazIDs) on key equipment lines, studying
the inherent hazards built into a type of equipment
and determining corrective modications to design or
operation. This program began with the Companys
Sandmasters, and this will be rolled out to other
equipment throughout the year.
A major safety goal in 2012 is improved driver
performance. Most of the Companys safety incidents
involve vehicle movement, most of which takes
place on public roads. The CIMS is expected to help
Calfrac analyze driving incidents, strengthening the
Safety teams ability to implement improvement and
prevention measures.

Training
With over 800 new hires in 2011 and signicant hiring
expected in 2012, Calfrac is strengthening its already
thorough training programs. The Orientation and
Training School (OaTS) provides on-boarding to
make new employees job-ready. OaTS is a 15-day
program, primarily aimed at eld workers, covering
critical aspects of working at Calfrac, including
safety training and realistic equipment training on a
combination of working equipment and sophisticated
new simulators.
In 2011 Calfrac opened a training centre in Louisville,
Colorado which in August graduated its rst OaTS
class of 26. By January 2, 2012 U.S. OaTS passed
the milestone of 200 students completing the
program. The facility is now capable of training 50
new employees at a time, with recruits own in from

The Company has installed a $1 million coiled tubing


simulator, customized to Calfracs needs, at its Grande
Prairie training centre. In autumn 2011 Calfrac leased
a local site for hands-on truck driver training in a
controlled setting off public roads. Both measures
improve training effectiveness and increase
public safety.

To strengthen its entire organization Calfrac has


also created a range of training and development
opportunities for higher-level staff. The initial
supervisory training program, delivered through SAIT
Polytechnic, has been highly successful. Supervisors
will also take a new in-house health, safety and
environment training program. Last year Calfrac
launched a formal development program for its
engineering staff and is researching a management
development program with the University of Calgary.
The Company continues to support individual
employees who wish to pursue relevant post-secondary
education.
