The Newest Generation of Advanced Crude Oil Upgrading and Refining Technology

“Technology Helping America Become Energy Independent”

Who are We?• FUELogistics is the newest and upcoming player in the

midstream oil production and crude oil refining industry.

• We believe that we are a billion dollar company in the making, backed by very compelling and patented technology that is strategically positioned to solve a desperately needed market niche.

• Our technology opens up Utah’s oil rich Uinta Basin crude oil to new markets out side the currently land-locked market.

• We are a cohesive team of experienced executives, industry technologist, petroleum engineers, and talented marketing and sales professionals.

Supply and Demand• We have a persuasive solution to a simple supply and

demand scenario.

• We have a wealth of raw materials (crude oil) contractually secured.

• We have a proven process of manufacturing our product.

• We have a willing and able customer base that will pay top dollar for every drop of product we produce.

• As an added bonus, this all exist within a “recurring revenue financial model”.

Page 4: FUELogistics | LP-FCC (Low Profile Fluid Catalytic Cracker) | Refining the Future

Ground Breaking Technology• We have developed a ground breaking modular and

scalable crude oil upgrading process that can economically and profitably be operated at or near well-head operations.

• This technology makes it possible to “upgrade” the most difficult to refine heavy and waxy crudes before sending it to downstream refineries.

• For markets like Utah’s Uinta Basin, where they have been literally land-locked because of transportation constraints, this technology opens new markets afar for this upgraded premium “syn-crude” that could not be reached in the past.

The LP-FCC• The Low Profile Fluid Catalytic Cracker, nicknamed the

LP-FCC is a transformational refining and upgrade process that effectively reduces the viscosity of the world’s heaviest and viscous crudes.

• The “upgraded” crude removes very costly transportation and refining limitations.

• It will be the first of its kind in the U.S. and introduces a persuasive level of operational flexibility and profitability in a modular and portable design.

Solving an Industry’s Dilemma • The heavy and waxy crudes (like crudes found in the

Uinta Basin) at room temperature turn to a solid mass much like a candle.

• The LP-FCC catalytic cracking process changes the molecular structure of these waxy crudes, effectively lowering the liquid pour point to below 15 degrees (F), making it easier and more economical to transport via, pipeline, rail, or truck without having to heat it.

• The LP-FCC changes the crude’s molecular structure while producing a lighter and easier to refine syn-crude that can significantly reduce demands on equipment that process these heavy oils in downstream refineries.

Despite Market Volatility• The trends and opportunities that exist in this ½ Trillion+

Dollar U.S. Market Segment, as reported by the Oil & Gas Journal (digital.ogj.com PwC: U.S. Oil / Gas transaction value hits 10 year high in 3Q), are as follows:– Driven by a rise in billion-dollar deals, midstream activity, and

interest in upstream shale plays from foreign buyers, mergers and acquisitions in the US oil and gas industry reached the highest levels in the past decade during 3Q of this year, according to a quarterly report from PwC US Energy Practice.

– Despite the markets volatility and sharply declining oil and gas commodity prices, extraordinary midstream gas/oil deal activity represented a 649% growth in Q3, and the number of mid-stream oil field services deals rose sharply topping off at 313% over Q2 activity.

Page 8: FUELogistics | LP-FCC (Low Profile Fluid Catalytic Cracker) | Refining the Future

Despite Market Volatility (continued)

– The majority of the $103.5 billion worth of megadeals that occurred in Q3 came from foreign buyers of American energy.

– Even with crude oil prices declining, companies are looking to hedge their bets by accelerating and increasing their portfolio positions before prices …

• Despite declining crude oil prices, growth in this market segment continues to rise, and this perfect storm is positioning FUELogistics to capitalize on the commodities markets as they return to normal and once again stabilize.

5 Year Financial Summary• The following financial summary presented in the

following slides represent the financial projections that are based upon the production of FUELogistics’ Uinta Basin, Crude Oil Upgrade Facility only, and that these assumptions are based upon:– Initial production of a 2000 Bpd LP-FCC unit;– Production ramped up to 10,000 Bpd in Q3 of the first year;– By Q2 of year two production ramped up another 20,000 Bpd;– And by end of Q4 of year two the facility will be at its planned

capacity at 40,000 Bpd.

• This summary does not reflect additional income that will be generated by other opportunities and applications of the LP-FCC technology.
