INTERNATIONAL INFORMATION

High Arctic Energy Services (HAES) made its international presence in 2003. It started by setting up a 1 bay shop with offices in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, after identifying the opportunities for a Canadian based company offering new state of the art Underbalanced Technologies in the Middle East region.

High Arctic International commissioned its first Hydraulic Workover Rig (a 460K Unit) in Canada and shipped it to the Middle East, where it was contracted for two years, allowing us to establish our presence in the Middle East Region as an Underbalanced Service Provider. As a result of the success of these operations, and the development of a solid client base, a manufacturing division was developed. As the Dubai operations continued to grow, a second Hydraulic Workover Rig (a 340k unit), was built completely within our manufacturing facility, with a new modular design facilitating easy access to smaller offshore platforms as well as requiring smaller offshore support vessels.

As High Arctic International's reputation continued to grow, by offering quality service with a solid QHSE program, so did HAES' revenue base.

High Arctic International commissioned a second 340K Hydraulic Workover Rig as well as a 120K Rig Assist unit. With 4 Hydraulic Workover Units available in the Middle East Region, High Arctic International was able to compete on the same level against the larger multinational service providers.

With continued growth, High Arctic International opened a corporate office in early 2006 in Mamzar Ð Dubai, to better serve its clients. With the rapid growth of the international division, High Arctic International moved its fabrication facility to its new 4.5 acre facility in the Hamariyah Free Zone in August 2006.

The new facility was developed around our QHSE management system. With state-of-the art manufacturing equipment and an ISO management system, our manufacturing facility has grown to become a revenue generating entity, building drilling rigs as well as equipment for various international oilfield companies.

With the combination of our Air Drilling Services, and our state of the art UBD equipment, as well as our new RAPAD Drilling Rigs, High Arctic has proven to be an all-round Underbalanced Service Provider, allowing it to become an industry leader in Underbalanced Operations.
