SageRider, Inc

Reservoir Monitoring
Services Overview

Introduction

SageRider, Inc founded in 2008

Started based on a need, recognized through consulting, to

advance a new monitoring concept into a viable field
development technology

Founding management team has background as pioneers in the

tubing conveyed perforating industry

SageRider positioned with two primary business segments

Subsurface Surveillance - includes SageWatch, external

casing or internal casing real-time P/T monitoring, and Fiber
Optic cable installation for DTS and DAS monitoring.

Completion Systems includes EasyRider multi-zone

external casing gun system with ball drop actuation,
propellant systems used for cased hole and open hole
stimulation, and Tubing Conveyed Perforating.

Why SageRider?

 Turnkey Approach to entire project

Dedicated project manager on each job
Source and ensure compatibility of all aspects of the
installation
Work closely with all services providers on project from
start to finish
Supply all aspects of the project with single supplier.

Project planning
Manufacturing of all components including gauges
Field Deployment
Integration of data for real-time access

Experience
Safety is of upmost importance
Quarterly Bonus is linked to safety.

SageWatch
Subsurface Surveillance System

What are we talking about ?

Pressure/Temperature Gauges deployed
outside or inside the casing in a multi-drop
format to allow multiple, isolated
measurements along the length of the
wellbore.
These measurements can be reservoir
only, wellbore activity only, or both.
System is powered from surface to collect
real-time data, continuously.
Data sample rates are programmable from
surface, can be transmitted to Operator
office, or downloaded locally at the data
collection unit.

External SageWatch System

All equipment is integral to
the casing string
All monitoring equipment is
outside the casing
No change to casing ID

Specifications

Data Collection Specifications

Electronic Pressure & Temperature Gauges with

Quartz Pressure Transducer

Pressure Rating = 0 -16,000 psi working pressure

Temperature Rating = 392 deg F / 200 deg C

Data Polling = up to 1 Sample / Second / Gauge

Pressure Resolution = .01 psi

Temperature Resolution = .01 deg F

Pressure Accuracy = +/- .02% within calibrated

range Temperature Accuracy = +/- 0.9 deg F
within calibrated range

Dual in-line cable heads with internal electrical

feed-through, no Y-blocks

Data Collection Specifications

SageRider specification introduced Fault

Protection to multi-drop permanent gauge
installations

Dual built in current limiting assures no

single gauge can draw excessive current and
upstream communication is still available
with a downstream line fault.

Double redundancy for all current limiting

circuit components ensures against loss of
communication with downstream gauges in
case of component failure

SageRider purchased all permanent gauge

manufacturing and IP from gauge provider and
