Business Outlook
−Removed: The oilfield engineering and technical
−Removed: service industry is generally divided into five sections:
−Removed: (1) exploration, (2) drilling and completion, (3) testing and logging,
−Removed: (4) production and (5) oilfield construction.
−Removed: Our businesses have mainly focused on production processes.
−Removed: As of this year, we
−Removed: are also expanding our business to well completion and horizontal well down-hole service process.
−Removed: We still believe that many existing
−Removed: oil wells and oilfields are in need of renewal and improvement on their current equipment to maintain production.
−Removed: We also believe
−Removed: that as many new wells are developed, our gathering and transferring equipment will be able to service an industry need.
−Removed: in the next year, we will focus on the following areas.

+Added: We also believe that many existing wells and oilfields need to improve or renew their
+Added: equipment and service to maintain production and techniques and services like ours will be needed as new oil and gas fields are
+Added: In the next three years, we plan to focus on the following:
Measuring Equipment and Service .
−Removed: “Digital oil field”
−Removed: and the management of oil companies are highly regarded.
−Removed: We believe our oilfield Supervisory Control
−Removed: and Data Acquisition (“SCADA”) and related technical support services will address the needs of the oil well automation
−Removed: system market.
−Removed: Through early cooperation with CNPC in Turkmenistan, we have developed our experience in this market.
−Removed: bidding has not yet commenced, we will continue pursuing overseas business projects in the coming second phase construction.
+Added: Digital oil field technology and the management of oil companies
+Added: are highly regarded in the industry.
+Added: We believe our oilfield SCADA system and assorted products, production managing expert software,
+Added: and related technical support services will address the needs of the oil well automation system market, for which we believe there
+Added: will be increasing demand over the short term and strong needs in the long term.
Gathering and Transferring Equipment .
−Removed: With more new wells developed, our management anticipates that demand for our furnaces and burners will grow more compared to
−Removed: last year, especially in the Jilin Oilfield and Xinjiang Oilfield.
−Removed: Fracturing business .
−Removed: believe we cooperated well with Zhongyuan Oilfield in 2013 and expect to continue growing revenue from fracturing and related
−Removed: stimulation services in the coming year.
+Added: With more new wells developed, our management anticipates that demand
+Added: for our furnaces and burners will grow as compared to last year, especially in the Qinghai Oilfield and Zhongyuan Oilfield.
New business .
−Removed: development of down-hole tools has always been an important technique for oilfield companies.
−Removed: Recently, this market has developed
−Removed: After a year long test project for one of our client, we have developed experience with this technology and our products
−Removed: and services have been accepted by our client.
−Removed: We expect to generate revenue from this business in the coming year.
−Removed: Recent Industry Developments
−Removed: Despite uncertainty in the energy industry
−Removed: related to such matters as fluctuating prices and future opportunities for oil companies, our management believes there are still
−Removed: many factors to support our long-term development:
−Removed: (1) The opening of the Chinese oil industry
−Removed: to participation by non-state owned service providers and vendors played an increasingly important role in the high-end oilfield
−Removed: service segment to allow competition based on efficiency and price.
−Removed: As oil and gas fields are depleted, it becomes more challenging
−Removed: to find and convert reserves into usable energy sources.
−Removed: As the industry has permitted competition by private companies and oil
−Removed: companies have formed separate service companies, high-tech service has gradually opened up to private companies;
−Removed: (2) Speeding up the development of unconventional
−Removed: hydrocarbon resources such as shale gas and coal bed methane will bring more requirements of related techniques and service.
−Removed: is rich in unconventional hydrocarbon resources, but new exploration and development technology breakthroughs are urgently needed;
−Removed: (3) Overseas assets of Chinese
−Removed: oilfield companies have increased gradually, and we expect this increase will provide more opportunity for domestic
−Removed: service companies to participate in foreign projects going forward.
−Removed: Management is focused on these
−Removed: factors and will seek to extend our business on the industrial chain, such as by providing more integrated services and
−Removed: incremental measures and growing our business from a predominantly up-ground business to include some down-hole services as
+Added: are in the process of expanding our business through the acquisition of a downhole service company.
+Added: We also have developed new
+Added: products for oilfield wastewater treatment and achieved preliminary business on this segment.
+Added: Our management anticipates expanding
+Added: the new business more rapidly in the coming year.
Growth Strategy
−Removed: As a smaller local company in the
−Removed: PRC, it is our basic strategy to focus on developing our onshore oilfield business, i.e.
−Removed: the upstream segment of the
−Removed: Due to the remote locations and difficult environment existing in China’s oil and gas fields, at present,
−Removed: there are few foreign competitors.
−Removed: Large domestic oil companies prefer to
−Removed: focus on their exploration and development businesses to earn higher margins and maintain their competitive advantage.
−Removed: to private oilfield service companies, 90% specialize in the manufacture of drilling and production equipment.
−Removed: Thus, the market
−Removed: for technical support and project service is still in its early stages.
−Removed: Our management focuses on providing high quality products
−Removed: and services at oilfields where we have a geographical advantage.
−Removed: Such strategy allows us to avoid conflicts of interest with bigger
−Removed: suppliers of drilling equipment and keep our leading position within the market segment.
−Removed: Our mission is to increase the automation
−Removed: and safety levels of industrial petroleum production in China, and improve its efficiency and effectiveness through advanced technologies.
−Removed: At the same time, we are always looking to improve our business and to increase our earning capability.

+Added: entered those areas directly.
+Added: Large domestic oil companies
+Added: have historically focused on their exploration and development businesses to earn higher margins and maintain their competitive
+Added: With regard to private oilfield service companies, we estimate that approximately 90% specialize in the manufacture
+Added: of drilling and production equipment.
+Added: Thus, the market for technical support and project service is still in its early stage.
+Added: management is focused on providing high quality products and services in oilfields in which we have a geographical advantage.

+Added: Our mission is to increase the automation and safety levels of industrial petroleum production in China and improve the
+Added: underdeveloped working process and management mode used by many companies by providing advanced technologies.
+Added: At the same time,
+Added: we are always looking to improve our business and to increase our earning capability.
+Added: Recent Industry Developments
+Added: Affected by the worldwide decrease in oil prices, CNPC and Sinopec, parent companies of our direct clients,
+Added: cut off their capital expenditure and production activities, resulting in a declining market and intensive competition.
+Added: will closely monitor the situation and will seek to extend our business on the industrial chain, such as through providing more
