DIVERGENT Energy Services Corp.: Linear Pump Update

CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwired – Sept. 22, 2015) –

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

DIVERGENT Energy Services Corp. (the “Corporation“) (TSX VENTURE:DVG) is pleased to announce that the 1^st second generation Linear Electric Submersible Motor (the “Motor”) has cleared US Customs and has been shipped to our test facility for pre-deployment operating tests.

The test facility will run the Motor at various rates and pressures, closely simulating downhole conditions. The next shipment of Motors is expected to arrive in October.

Unlike the prototype Motor that powered a reciprocating pump built overseas, the second generation Motor will use a pump built domestically using components used in the rod pumps currently operating in the Bakken.

The second generation Motor has many improvements over the prototypes, which include but are not limited to:

1. 25% more power – higher pump rates;
2. 50% less friction – longer motor life and lower electricity costs.
3. Replaced bronze components with self-lubricating thermoplastics with excellent mechanical and chemical resistance at high temperatures;
4. The pump section is now being built in Canada instead of overseas, using rod pump components currently in use in the Bakken;

ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY

The permanent magnet Motor technology duplicates rod pump movement without rod strings or surface lifting equipment. All moving parts are contained within the submersible Motor housing, eliminating rod and tubing wear, making the Motor ideally suited for landing in deviated or horizontal oil wells. The submersible reciprocating pump is driven by a linear synchronous permanent magnet Motor, which generates thrust from a magnetic field and permanent magnet mover.

Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, DIVERGENT Energy Services Corp. provides an array of specialized products and services that are used in the energy, mining, and industrial & agricultural water industries.
