DISCLAIMER

Forward-Looking Statements & Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain statements in this presentation are forward-looking statements that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this presentation, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this presentation, the words "could," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "expect," "may," "continue," "predict," "potential," "project" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. Forward- looking statements may include statements about the volatility of future oil and natural gas prices; our ability to successfully manage our growth, including risks and uncertainties associated with integrating and retaining key employees of the businesses we acquire; availability of skilled and qualified labor and key management personnel; our ability to accurately predict customer demand; competition in our industry; governmental regulation and taxation of the oil and natural gas industry; environmental liabilities; our ability to implement new technologies and services; availability and terms of capital; general economic conditions; operating hazards inherent in our industry; our financial strategy, budget, projections, operating results, cash flows and liquidity; and our plans, business strategy and objectives, expectations and intentions that are not historical. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, we can give no assurance that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved.

For additional information regarding known material factors that could affect our operating results and performance, please see our final IPO prospectus, Current Reports on Form 8-K, Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q which are available at the SEC's website, http://www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these known material risks occur, or should the underlying assumptions change or prove incorrect, our actual results, performance, achievements or plans could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements concerning us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. All information in this presentation is as of March 31, 2020 as indicated unless otherwise noted.

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company has presented Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and return on invested capital (ROIC). These are not recognized measures under, or an alternative to, GAAP. The Company's management believes that this presentation provides useful information to management, analysts and investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its results of operations and financial condition. In addition, management uses these measures for reviewing the financial results of the Company. These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by GAAP. Use of these terms may differ from similar measures reported by other companies. In particular, because of its limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to use to reinvest in growth of the Company's business, or as a measure of cash that will be available to meet the Company's obligations. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP.

Industry and Market Data

This presentation includes market data and other statistical information from third party sources, including independent industry publications, government publications and other published independent sources. Although the Company believes these third party sources are reliable as of their respective dates, the Company has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of this information.

Concentration of dollars / pad + exponential impact of Non-Productive Time = highly selective customers

  • Total well cost:$5-$7mm
  • ~8,000 feet of lateral length completed
  • 40 stages
  • 12mm pounds of sand
  • 1,000 boe/d oil produced

  • 240 stages
  • 72mm pounds of sand
  • 6,000 boe/d oil produced

E&P Revenue/Day = ~$300,0001

  • Dissolvable plugs can save operators ~24 days per6-well pad in reduced drill-out time & ~12 days saved with clean-out run
  • Increases IRR for operators by significantly reducing cycle times and bringing product to market faster
  • Eliminates time and risk of drilling out plugs, as well as associated service costs

ADVANCEMENTS IN CEMENTING SOLUTIONS

SLURRY

HIGHLIGHTS

Light-density slurry engineered to build strength

60% faster and deliver 40% higher compressive

Blend 27

strength than similar density slurries

Provides the lightness needed for depleted

formations along with the strength of heavier

density slurries at a fraction of the materials costs

Low density slurry that eliminates costly beads

while maintaining compressive strength and

lighter density significantly lowering cost for

CPT Trident

operators.

Allows for reduction in mileage and equipment

and overall reducing the footprint on site as bead

slurries require blenders to batch mix on site.

Advanced formulation that delivers the lightness

needed to cement mature geologies, along with

the density required to hold form in the

Nine Lite

formation

Can be mixed down to 10 pounds per gallon,

speeding pump times and reducing NPT by as

much as 48 hours per well

  • Maintained sizeable cash balance with current cash position as of 3/31/20 of $90.1 million, as well as $92.6 million of accounts receivable
  • Significant activity declines across NAM in the last month of the quarter in conjunction with deteriorating oil prices
  • Newlow-temp dissolvable plug successfully commercialized during Q1 and timeline for new high-temp and composite plug remain on-track for Q2 and Q3 respectfully
  • Service line revenue declines ranging from~7-20% q/q
    • Cementing, which followsdrill-bit and typically lags completions, saw relatively flat activity q/q
    • Total stages for completion tools increased ~26% q/q
    • Excluding completion tools, pricing down~5-9% across service lines
    • Coiled tubing continues to be hardest hit service line with both a challenging macro backdrop coupled with new units coming to market
