introduction Brands have never been more important than they are today. Powerful brands, when nurtured and managed properly, give companies longevity and a unique position in the marketplace. Further, the route to corporate success can be found in developing brands that show more care. ESCO速 continues to be a winning brand that demonstrates a commitment to changing the world in which we live.

ESCOBRAND terminology

the ESCO brand Today, the ESCO brand is recognized worldwide for the quality and performance of our highly engineered wear products. Our brand is the representation of what ESCO offers the marketplace. It reflects how we want our customers and audiences to perceive us. All images and text representing ESCO should strive to support our guiding principles of innovation, leadership, continuous improvement, performance and sustainability.

In 2010, we renewed our vision: ESCO True North: Zero Harm, Zero Waste and 100% Stakeholder Satisfaction.

This vision is designed to guide our continuous improvement efforts, increase operational efficiencies, drive systematic safety improvements, strengthen relationships with our end users, and integrate innovative sustainable solutions into our family of products and services.

We have established these brand guidelines to support a consistent, integrated brand across everything we produce. This guide also details our visual design system by discussing logos, typography, color and design elements. It serves as a comprehensive reference for several templates and our branded assets. Further, the requirement for strong, consistent messaging is equally as important as the visual language communicated to our customers and the public. This begins with our company overview.

As we continue our daily drive for True North, I invite you to join me in this journey toward growing our meaningful and influential global brand.

Cal Collins President and CEO

ESCOBRAND working together

help us help you At ESCO, every department has a tailored set of objectives. They may differ from team to team but they always map to broader company objectives.

Branding should be viewed the same way. The brand your department presents to the rest of the company should map to the overall corporate brand.

Please enlist the Corporate Communications & Marketing (CC&M) team if you have questions about how you are applying the ESCO brand.

working with outside resources Our brand must leave a consistent impression. When enlisting outside agencies for design, layout or conceptual help, ensure that the third party adheres to these brand guidelines. In order for CC&M to catalog and compile all creative ESCO projects, please send a copy of the approved project to: CCM@escocorp.com.

The current logo was revised in 2010 to represent ESCO as a company: clean, sharp and precise. The blade symbolizes the company’s metal origins, cutting-edge expertise and focus on innovation. As the oval pays homage to the company’s legacy logos, the motion of the blade indicates growth and global reach.

ESCOBRAND brand architecture

oil & gas logos The ESCO corporate logo is the default mark and is to be used except where noted on divisional or

product applications.

Brand architecture is an extremely complex subject where few rules apply. With ESCO’s expansion into the oil and gas market, ESCO as the “parent brand” currently takes an endorsement role of our Oil & Gas companies.

®

An ESCO Oil & Gas Company ®

Since ESCO employs an endorsed house branding strategy,* the companies within the ESCO® Oil & Gas Division feature the company’s logo with the added tagline: An ESCO® Oil & Gas Company. In this instance, ESCO as the parent company takes only an endorsed role, externally.

A company logo with tagline, (i.e., “An ESCO® Oil & Gas Company”) should be used.

{ 14

what is an endorsed branded house? *

The endorsed house is an architecture based on the addition of new brands with the added credibility of the existing parent brand. The branded house is a strategy by which the corporation is the source of reputation and the federating force.

trademark usage ESCO’s trademarks and brands are intellectual property and are valuable assets of the corporation. A trademark is a distinctive name, phrase, symbol, design, picture or style used by a business to identify itself and its products and services to customers. Marking is necessary to maintain exclusive rights of use. Trademark acknowledgment is the means by which some companies show that certain terms are trademarks. ® denotes a registered service mark or trademark. ™ denotes a trademark application pending or common law claim on the mark.

(SM)

denotes a service mark application pending or common law claim on the mark.

Generally, demarcation is not necessary for every occurrence of a trademark or service mark in an article, press release, advertisement or on a website, etc.; however, at a minimum, this identification should occur at least once in each piece. Use the trademark symbol in the first appearance of the trademark in a headline, and/or the first prominent use and first appearance in the body of text. When in doubt, err on the side of “over-marking.”

The proper use of trademark symbols with this trademark is as follows: ESCO® products (for example).

Ulterra Oman Team received a two star "Shokran Award" for drilling the fastest well to date in Rima field with two benchmarks in both the 12.25" & 8.5" whole sections.

Congratulations Oman Team!

--------------- PERFORMANCE UPDATES -------------• •

Our 8.75" U516M drilled a 12,600 ft VCL run all the way to TD from under surface. The bit averaged 101 ft/hr throughout the interval.

This was the first bit to successfully make it on one BHA for the operator!

Ulterra's 8.5' U616M drilled an 8,838 ft vertical section and the operator continued on with it into the curve. Offsetting competitor runs have been tripped short of reaching the planned kick off point.

H&P 481 set back to back surface records for the rig with the 12.25” U616S out drilling the next best competitor offset by 30 ft/hr and then 38 ft/hr.

Ulterra's 8.5" U516M set a performance standard in one of EOG's most densely drilled areas of the Eagle Ford. We drilled the 4,700 ft vertical section at 278 ft/hr out drilling all other runs in the area by 40 ft/hr.

The Apache 7.875" U716M was a one bit to TD lateral run, drilling 5,016 ft in 94.5 hrs with an ROP of 53 ft/hr.

Ulterra’s 7.875" U516M drilled 1,615 ft vertical in 13 hrs with an ROP of 124 ft/hr.

Our newest Canadian CounterForce™ bit, the 200mm U516M had an extremely successful first run. The bit drilled a 1,440m Montney lateral with an ROP of 31m/hr…. this is more than 30% faster than the current benchmark in the area. The bit also came out an impressive 0-0 dull!

•

Ulterra had a good performance with the ‘torpedo’ 8.5" U516M. We drilled 456m in 24 hrs. Overall, we drilled 1,900m total in 45.47 hrs at an ROP of 41.8 m/hr.

product branding The ESCO family of products is recognized around the world for innovation, quality, durability and safety. With hundreds of patents and leading-edge inventions, branding our products and services properly protects the integrity of our work and helps to distinguish us from the competition.

ESCOBRAND product

product colors

ESCO product specifications Divisional marketing teams have identified product names and fonts to ensure customers recognize ESCO products.

Upon delivery, ESCO’s products are also easily identifiable by their distinct colors.

To ensure our names are protected, the company registers and maintains trademarks. These marks must be affixed (shown below) whenever product names are displayed. When writing copy, marks are affixed to product names but are only necessary the first time the name is used in a given document (see page 17).

The following are ESCO product colors and a sample of the product types they represent.

As a general rule, product names should be written with the first letter capitalized and the remaining letters in lowercase, followed by the appropriate ® or TM symbol (in superscript). For example: Ultralok®.

When a product name is a combination of two words (with no space between) the first letter of the second word should also be capitalized to denote meaning. For example: ProFill® dragline bucket.

Generally, an internal logo is any kind of graphic element (photographs or illustrations) consistently linked with the name of your division, department, brand, products or services, or with a program or theme.

Any internal logo must be approved by Corporate Communications & Marketing if used outside of a single event. The additional use of unique or internal logos for departments and products potentially dilute the power of the ESCO brand, confuses customers and audiences, increases legal risk and impacts ESCO resources.

There is a distinction between the development of new logos and the creation of a theme. Key messages and images may be combined to create a themed ESCO montage for a specific program, event or product. Themes may be carried over with minimal changes and do not need to be approved outside of your manager.

sites Customers around the world associate ESCO products with quality and innovation. As ESCO adds or acquires sites globally—from manufacturing to supply & service facilities to sales offices—consistent branding must convey that same reliability and commitment to excellence. This section provides guidelines for current, new and acquired sites.

ESCOBRAND sites

exterior paint & building signage External and internal paint and signage should be uniform so that customers, employees and vendors have a consistent brand experience. ESCO has identified signage standards and paint colors that showcase the performance and quality of our products and services.

Please refer to the following specifications for all logo placement and use of the paint applications. For lobby and main customer spaces, please contact CC&M for guidance.

For a list of regional marketing representatives, refer to the Employee Brand Center.

Prior to scheduling painting and signage contractors, please supply global and regional marketing with a collection of photos that give a 360 degree “walkaround” of your facility. They will then provide branding direction. Buildings should not be painted or branded prior to receiving official approval from your global or regional marketing team.

note: Other than the ESCO logo, no other promotional signage/logos will be installed on any building.

Exterior paint specifications below

If your cutout/detached logo cannot be installed on the exterior of a building, the alternative is a red rectangle with a white ESCO logo.

base WHITE/OFF-WHITE

Use premium-quality, UV/fade resistant paint in satin or semigloss finish only and prepare surface with custom-tinted primer prior to applying at least two coats of red. Contact your divisional marketing team with questions or concerns.

If off-white is selected, use the below options: Australia: Taubmans, surf mist North America: Behr, premium plus ultra, irish mist

The ESCO logo (in all red) should be installed using cut lettering on the sides of the building that have the greatest visibility and most traffic.

If your building’s lease does not allow installation of signage on the building exterior, elevated signage should be installed near the perimeter of the building.

supply & service The ESCO brand includes our corporate offices, sales offices, manufacturing facilities, and now, our supply & service facilities. In all instances the brand should be presented to customers as ESCO. ESCO’s supply & service facilities are a direct connection for customers to ESCO’s delivery system of products and services. Our goal is to provide a unique, consistent and remarkable customer experience on a local level, including a consistent brand experience. ESCO is the brand, and the term “supply & service” is a description we use to describe the function of a particular ESCO location, rather than creating a sub-brand.

All employees are ESCO employees, and our supply & service facilities are part of the many offerings the ESCO brand brings to the global marketplace. ESCO is now also a goods and services brand-focused on improving the safety and efficiency of our customers’ operations.

Toward this end, all references to ESCO supply & service facilities should read:

ESCO supply & service • Do not capitalize supply & service, unless it is being used as a topic header. A customer brochure is an example, where if in the headline, it would read: ESCO Supply & Service Facilities

ESCO supply & service

• Do not capitalize supply & service, unless beginning a sentence with “Supply & service” • Do not use ESCO supply & service as an acronym (ESS or ES&S, for instance)

service trucks ESCO’s mobile service trucks are generally 5-ton trucks outfitted with a variety of tools for jobs including welding, stick and boom repair, and truck body repair.

The service area and customer needs will determine specific outfitting characteristics of each mobile truck.

Logo, website address and/or phone number guidelines as described on page 48 should be followed.

The one constant branding element for each truck will be the proper painting, using approved ESCO colors, and correct use of the ESCO logo to ensure a consistent look and feel.
