Theestimates underlying the EBITDAS estimate reflect the views of the analysts and may not reflect the views of management of the Corporation as at the point in timewhen the applicable estimate was given or as of the date of this presentation. Essential adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) 16. Comparativeinformation has not been restated and therefore, may not be comparable. See page 19 for the first half 2019 (“H1/19”) implications on gross margin and EBITDAS.

NON-IFRS MEASURESThroughout this presentation, certain terms used are not measures recognized by IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS including:

• Bank EBITDA – generally defined in Essential’s Credit Facility as EBITDAS, including the equity cure, excluding onerous lease contract expense and severance costsand excluding the impact of IFRS 16.

• EBITDAS – earnings before finance costs, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, transaction costs, losses or gains on disposal, write-down of assets, impairmentloss, foreign exchange gains or losses and share-based compensation, which includes both equity-settled and cash-settled transactions.

• Funded Debt – generally defined in Essential’s Credit Facility as long-term debt plus deferred financing costs and bank indebtedness, net of cash. It does notinclude the lease liability related to IFRS 16.

• Working capital – current assets less current liabilities.

A reconciliation of Bank EBITDA and EBITDAS to the IFRS measure, net income, can be found in Essential’s MD&A, which may be accessed through the SEDAR website(www.sedar.com). These measures may not be consistent with the calculation of other companies.

Current Industry Challenges

WCSB Oil and Gas Industry

Additional pipeline export capacity is needed – including pipelines to new markets

The industry has been under siege from environmental and other interest groups – many funded by U.S. groups

Lack of political leadership and foresight….a made in Canada problem

• Bill C-69, Bill C-48

• Non-competitive taxation

• Pipeline expansions blocked

Current Industry Challenges

Implications

Alberta oil production curtailments

Low Canadian realized commodity prices

Diminished access to growth capital

Deeply undervalued Canadian energy stocks

Negative share price implications

Reduced E&P capital spending

Why Canadian Oil and Gas?

• Stringent environmental, safety and labour standards

• Lack of export pipelines cost the Canadian economy $20.6 billion in 2018 (~1% of Canada’s GDP)(1)

• Actions against responsible production of Canadian oil & natural gas have driven away investment capital and good jobs

• Canada = only 1.6% of world greenhouse gas emissions(2)

ECWS - The Opportunities

32

Even in a flat to declining activity period (2019-20) there is good potential for a solid business:

• 25% market share in a tight deep coil tubing market

• Tight market for high-rate fluid pumpers – potential for distressed assets from competitors?

• Gen IV retrofits – potential for low cost fleet additions

• Cost structure – proven expertise managing variable cost structure; fixed costs can be adjusted as needed

• Customers – strong, diversified customer base

Long-reach horizontal well capabilities

ECWS - Deep Capabilities

34

• WCSB exposure - Montney and Duvernay

• Wells are deeper, horizontal, often high pressure and complex

• Gen III and Gen IV coil tubing rigs and quintuplex fluid pumpers are best-suited for these regions

• Require skilled, experienced crews with a focus on safety

35

• First retrofit in-service Q4/18; second retrofit expected late 2019

• Reel trailer upgrade completed in Q1/19

• Features include:

o Lighter - ease of movement between work sites

o “Quick change” reel system for on-location reel swaps in two hours or less

o 130K and 160K injector capacity; higher capacity ensures no slippage or inefficiencies on deepest horizontal wells

• Three additional Gen IV retrofits can be added – as market demand dictates, for low capital cost

Suitable for Montney and Duvernay deep wells
