VOLANT UNVEILS NEW HYDROFORM™

SLIMLINE™ SERIES OF CENTRALIZERS
For Immediate Release – April 14th– Edmonton AB – The Volant Group of Companies (Volant) proudly announces
the launch of its new HydroFORM SlimLINE* Series of rigid centralizers – a thinner wall durable design at an
affordable price.

“Centralizers are a critical component of well construction and completion, particularly with regard to more
efficient tubular running and enabling an adequate cement job. A robust rigid centralizer is designed to improve the
casing run and survive, thereby optimizing standoff,” explains Dan Shute, President of Volant Products. “Not all
centralizers are created equal in terms of their drag performance on the wellbore and it is in this capacity that the
Volant centralizers shine. Our centralizers have a smooth outer surface which minimizes the snag potential
associated with sliding over deviations and our placement optimization program minimizes side load which, in
combination with friction results in drag. Volant centralizers have a proven durability in extended reach wells, and
the smooth profile is maintained. This new series of centralizers offers all this, plus an affordable price tag.”

Volant’s proprietary hydroforming technology produces a high quality, high strength product. A proprietary,
engineered process is used to precision form tubular steel, resulting in a smooth unit-body shape perfectly suited to
today’s complex well designs. Additionally, the new HydroFORM SlimLINE* series of centralizers offer a tighter fit,
reduced thickness and optimized rib geometry to balance standoff and flow characteristics – making this centralizer
ideal for cementing applications.

The new Volant SlimLINE™ Series of Centralizers currently range from 4.5” up to 5.5” liner and casing diameters,
available in a variety of outside diameters. Volant also offers a full range of standard HydroFORM™ Centralizers for
liner and casing sizes ranging from 4.5” to 13.375”, formed to various customer specified diameters. For additional
