GLKFF - Raise Production Inc. Announces Second Quarter Results and Provides Operations Update

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - August 21, 2019) - Raise Production Inc. (TSXV: RPC) ("Raise" or the "Company") has released its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE QUARTER

• The Company continues to steadily grow its foot print with the HARP^TM technology in Canada and has seen an increase to its customer base.
• The Generation 2 HARP^TM installs in the USA continue to perform well and have driven incremental sales with new customers.
• The REAL^TM system is gaining interest in Canada and the USA.
• Revenue earned on the sales of the Company's HARP^TM increased 275% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 114% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in the prior year.

PRESIDENT'S UPDATE

The Company is pleased to provide an update to its shareholders on its financial results and recent activities related to its operations.

The Company has three systems that can be used independently or in combination in horizontal wellbores:

1. the High Angle Reciprocating Pump ("HARP^TM");
2. the Raise Efficient Artificial Lift ("REAL^TM"); and
3. the Horizontal Artificial Recovery Technology ("HART^TM").

HARP^TM (High Angle Reciprocating Pump)

Canada

The second quarter was a challenge due to "break up", road bans and rain interfering with rig schedules. The Company used this time to prepare and focus on customer seminars and shop tours coupled with face to face contacts that are being rewarded in the third quarter. The Company has installed more HARP's^TM thus far in the third quarter of 2019 than the entire second quarter period due to delays with access to lease sites during the second quarter and new orders.

The Company continues to see excellent results from its Generation 2 HARP^TM installs over the previous ten months. As previously disclosed, the Company was chosen as the supplier of preference for a Northern Alberta operator in its new and existing well bores. The Company now has completed nine installations for this customer with one install being a shared interest with another operator who will be potentially running the HARP^TM in their well bores as their Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP's) reach their life limit.

Raise continues to focus on Cardium and Glauconite formations as well as Charlie Lake, and Montney formations as primary targets for its technology. The Company has recently added three new customers in these formations with initial HARP^TM installs either completed or being completed in August 2019. The Company has been continuing its focused sales approach with lunch and learns, shop tours and field seminars where the new portable horizontal well bore model is being received with enthusiasm by field engineers and operators.

United States

The remaining portion of Endurance Lift Solutions' ("ELS") order of 20 HARP^TM assemblies in late June 2019 was delivered in early August 2019. The installs in the USA continue to perform well with a number of installs pending. The Company is currently in discussions with ELS at their request to extend and enhance its exclusivity agreement.

REAL^TM (Raise Efficient Artificial Lift)

The Company has had positive responses from various operators on its REAL^TM system. The first Cardium REAL^TM is expected to be installed by early September for a major operator depending on the fracking schedule in proximity to the selected wellbore. The Company is now evaluating wells in Northern Alberta for the operator utilizing the HARP^TM technology and deployments in the fourth quarter are expected. The Company is also working with a major heavy oil operator for a deployment in a high temperature well bore.

Raise's USA partner, ELS, has hired a dedicated person with many years of downhole separation experience to promote the REAL^TM system in the USA basins.

HART^TM (Horizontal Artificial Recovery Technology)

As stated in the last quarterly press release, the Company continues to have discussions with potential partners to further develop and promote the HART^TM technology and will update shareholders when new developments occur.

Eric Laing, President & CEO, stated:

"Raise continues to gain market acceptance with technology specifically designed for placement at high angle and horizontal orientation. The results our operators are experiencing in optimized performance and increased production coupled with the longevity of the equipment is starting to spread by word of mouth and we expect this trend to continue as the Company moves into other geographic areas. Introducing the horizontal separation system (REAL^TM) to further enhance well production and increase reserve recovery will accelerate our exposure and ultimately lead to overall acceptance of the Raise horizontal technology offering including the HART^TM system of multiple pump placement in horizontal sections."
