Frontier Oilfield Services, Inc (OTCQB: FOSI) represents a ground-floor opportunity for those who may
be seeking to capitalize on the “shale” boom that is sweeping across several oil and gas producing
regions in the United States, such as the Haynesville shale in East Texas and the Barnett Shale in North
Texas. The Barnett and the Haynesville Shales are among the largest gas plays in the US, and are CORPORATE INFO
currently the primary location of Frontier’s operations. Frontier’s business model anticipates identifying,
evaluating, and acquiring compatible oilfield service companies (especially in the saltwater recovery and
disposal sector) in Texas and the contiguous states. Frontier will continue to focus their acquisition Listing: OTC QB

Frontier Oilfield Services — Corporate Backgrounder (2)


Data as of 09/11/2019

Frontier Overview

The services offered by the Company are necessary and essential to the large exploration and production
companies already operating in Frontier’s planned service areas. Prior to their recent financing, Frontier
managed the operations of Trinity Disposal and Trucking, LLC (TDT), a 12 year old saltwater and drilling
fluids transportation and disposal company with eight disposal wells, more than 20 trucks, and access to
approximately 4,000 oil/gas wells operating within the Company’s target area of operations.

 By completing the acquisition of Chico Coffman, Frontier now has a solid footprint in the Barnett
Shale. This new expansion covers over 17 counties, with over 85 trucks and trailers in operations and
multiple saltwater disposal wells.
 Having made the acquisition, Frontier will seek to expand Trinity’s operations, as 100% of their cur-
rent capacity is being absorbed by major customers like Devon Energy, Wagner & Brown, Ltd., Matador
Oil, NFR Energy, Vernon Faulkner, and XTO Energy.
 Trinity Disposal and Trucking currently targets customers which are within 15 miles of one of its dis-
posal wells due to the favorable transportation economics of such proximity. Currently, there are ap-
proximately 4,000 producing wells that are within a 15 mile radius of Trinity’s disposal wells, and as
stated above, Frontier believes that number will grow.

Frontier has recently completed an investment agreement with Lonestar Income and Growth, LLC. Lonestar,
an unrelated third party, will receive 2,750,000 shares of Frontier’s 2011 Series A 8% preferred stock for the
sum of $5,500,000. As a result of Frontier using the proceeds of the stock purchase to acquire a majority
(51%) interest in Frontier Income and Growth, LLC., (FIG), Trinity Disposal and Trucking’s operations are
now majority owned by Frontier Oilfield Services, Inc.

Frontier also anticipates being able to expand its “roustabout” services which
are an additional profit center and a complement to the wastewater recovery and
disposal business.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Hydraulic-fracturing, or “fracking,” has literally changed the landscape of oil & gas in America.  Once deemed
unrecoverable, advances in technology have opened the door to extracting massive deposits of oil and gas
buried deep beneath the Earth’s surface.  Many experts believe that domestic formations may actually sur-
pass that of anywhere in the world, including the Middle East.

As oil and gas exploration and production achieves unprecedented momentum, an often overlooked aspect
of this process is the servicing of that industry.  Previously dominated by “mom-and-pop” operators that con-
duct business out of the back of their pockets with little sophistication, oilfield service companies are experi-
encing growth that often exceeds their limited capacity.  

One key component of the oilfield service industry is saltwater disposal, commonly referred to as SWD.  The
saltwater disposal industry could present a tremendous opportunity for investors in small-cap companies.
Operators are responsible for the disposal of flowback water, produced water and hydraulic fracturing fluid
(“frac fluid”) – creating vast potential liabilities for the fast-moving “majors” in the industry.  In layman terms,
the saltwater produced from the drilling and expansion of wells has to go somewhere.  If it is improperly dis-
posed of, the responsibility lies upon the producer of said water.  

As consolidation has hit every other business since the beginning of industrialization in America, expect the
same in the oilfield service space – it is quite attractive fundamentally with high margins and asset coverage.

Proper safety, financial, and logistical protocols are found to be severely lacking in small saltwater disposal
well companies, opening the doors for enterprising entities like Frontier Oilfield Services, Inc. who wish to
build a scalable and intrinsically valuable enterprise with huge margins.  Minimal risk combined with limited
competition means that shareholders of some companies will reap the rewards of this industry, which is soon
to be on every investor’s radar as we decrease our dependence on foreign oil through the development of
shale formations throughout the United States.

VALUE PROPOSITION AND COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

 Advanced technology of hydro-fracturing has increased the demand for saltwater recovery and disposal
 Compliance, safety, and environmental practices of “mom and pop” operations are not sufficient for major
E&P companies, who shoulder the liability for disposal of saltwater and therefore must seek reliable compa-
nies with proven sophistication and logistics
 A roll-up strategy through aggressive acquisitions of “mom and pop” Oilfield services operations with or-
ganic growth and improved business processes of existing operations could substantially increase the rev-
enue and assets of Frontier and therefore provide the potential for Frontier shareholders for increased value
and share appreciation
 Frontier plans to position itself as one of the premier companies to meet the saltwater disposal needs of oil
and gas producers and operators in the Haynesville and Barnett Shale, and expand to other shale plays to
increase market share and geographic diversity
 Frontier has put into place experienced management with a successful track record of achieving market
success in both E&P operations and oilfield services
 Frontier has completed two key milestones in their growth model through the acquisition of Trinity Disposal
and Trucking and Chico Coffman Trucking.
 Frontier will seek to expand Trinity’s and Coffman’s operations, as 100% of their current capacity is being
absorbed by major customers like Devon Energy, GMX Resources, Wagner & Brown, Ltd., Matador Oil,
NFR, Vernon Faulkner, and XTO Energy

Frontier Oilfield Services is on a fast track roll-up model to acquire smaller


saltwater disposal service companies in Texas, and expand into other shale plays
while adding additional high-margin services for the benefit of FOSI shareholders

DEMAND DRIVERS

Oil is a critical force powering business, manufacturing, and the transportation of goods and services
to serve the global economy.

 Oil is regarded by some as being the current lifeblood of the United States’ economy.  Presently,
it supplies more than 40 percent of total energy demands and more than 98 percent of the fuel
used in cars and trucks
 Hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) is exponentially increasing across all the shale plays, which will
place a burden upon the oilfield service industry
 Saltwater well permits are limited and companies like Frontier Oilfield Services that are properly
positioned are expected to thrive in our economy
 At the Federal level, more attention is being paid to hydraulic fracturing and produced water issues

KEY INVESTMENT DRIVERS


 Seasoned management team with exceptional operational skills, experience, and industry partners.
 Attractive industry environment for asset consolidation in Oilfield Services like Saltwater Disposal
 Focused on long-lived, low risk, and high yield revenue model
 Strategy to protect downside risk with cash flow from consistent oil well water disposal services
 Active development and exploitation upside in our most important industry
 Strong barriers to entry for any competition
 An established rollup and growth strategy

REASONS TO CONSIDER FOSI

 As an independent saltwater disposal company, Frontier Oilfield Services is in an ideal position to


capitalize on rising growth of domestic oil production and the use of saltwater Fracking.

 The management team continues to develop and fund successful ventures for individual investor
partners, with whom the company maintains excellent long-term relationships

 Largely unknown at this point by the financial markets, FOSI has potential to be a major opportunity in
Oilfield Services stocks—an area of the stock market that has proven to be recession proof time after
time
Saltwater Disposal and Transportation – They have the infrastructure and logistics in place to acquire less
sophisticated companies and integrate them into Frontier Oilfield Services. Expanding there footprint while
consolidating operations creates a compelling financial opportunity.

Based on EIA long-term forecasts,

GROWING DEMAND -the demand for domestic oil production continues to grow and is expected to continue.
The demand
Wastewater Disposal for domestic oil is even stronger as people want to reduce the dependency on foreign oil.
and Recovery Oil
fracking is becoming the most important and most used method today across every oil field.

The oilfield saltwater disposal (“SWD”) business includes three basic components:

SALTWATER DISPOSAL AND RECOVERY


 Transporting wastewater, which is a byproduct of drilling and ongoing production, from an oil/gas well to a disposal site for a fee.
 Disposing of the water in a state permitted disposal well for a fee.  Disposal water is continually generated in both the well drilling
and completion phase (flowback water) and while the well is producing oil/gas (produced water).
 Skim oil is the residue which is salvaged and sold from the transported wastewater.

During the completion phase of an oil/gas well, fresh water is used to fracture the shale formation.   A typical multi-stage frac process uses at
least 100,000 barrels of fresh water.  When this water “flows back” it is salty and must be transported away from the drilling site and
disposed of in a permitted disposal well.  The need for disposal of flow-back water occurs only during the drilling of a new well, however
flow-back water disposal is often the second-largest expense of drilling a new well and provides Frontier with higher margins.

Water that comes to the surface during the normal oil or gas production process is naturally occurring briny water that is generated from
deep within the earth along with the oil and gas.  The need to dispose of “produced water” is on-going and continues throughout the life of
the oil/gas well.  Servicing this disposal need produces recurring revenues, frequently on a daily basis. Produced water disposal is usually
the largest lease operating expense of a producing well.

In addition to receiving fees for transporting and disposing of salt water, the company will also generate revenue from the sale of “skim” oil.  
This oil comes mixed in with the salt water that the company transports and disposes.   The company salvages the oil prior to pumping the
water into one of the disposal wells. 

How many of these wells are in Texas?

Texas is the nation’s number one oil and gas producer with more than 216,000 active oil and gas wells statewide. Injection and saltwater
disposal wells are also located statewide to safely dispose of the produced water and frac fluid from these oil and gas wells. Texas has more
than 50,000 permitted oil and gas injection and disposal wells.

Industry Outlook for the Oilfield Services Industry

The industry outlook for Oilfield Service and saltwater recovery and disposal remains to be a dominant player
for many years to come. There are compelling opportunities today for private equity to consider in the oilfield
services industry.

Oil and natural gas drive the world’s industrial and economic growth. The industry is broad with operations focusing on exploring,
extracting, refining, and marketing these resources. Billions of barrels of oil and cubic feet of natural gas are produced and consumed
every year and the world’s demand for energy will increase by 50 percent in 20 years and could double by 2050

Increasingly our oil and gas supplies are coming from unconventional resources, such as heavy oil, natural gas from tight sands, and
oil and gas from shale formations. Our ability to extract and utilize these resources results from years of development of new tech-
nologies and methods such as hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling. Developing these resources has also presented some envi-
ronmental challenges.

*Industry trends are creating compelling opportunities in the oilfield services industry sector.
