We are excited to announce the completion of our 100th Coil+ well in the United States - a major achievement in the growing adoption of this innovative completion process in North America. STEP is the first company to reach this operational milestone with split-string technology in the U.S., reinforcing our leadership in ultra-reach coiled tubing interventions.

Coil+ dual-agitator system pushes the boundaries of coiled tubing by enabling longer well designs. Mid-string and bottom-hole agitators reduce friction and extend lateral reach, and a single connection design offers a safer, faster, and more efficient alternative to traditional snubbing operations while maximizing production potential.

“Coil+ has given us the confidence to continue to push the limits of long lateral development safely, efficiently, and effectively.  The technology is a game changer.” Permian Resources.

"Using Coil+ with STEP's team has enabled us to confidently change how we approach longer laterals from a completion and drill out perspective. We can now achieve further depths, at a faster pace, and maintain safety throughout the operation. Their technical expertise makes ambitious well designs reliably executable." Nick Vessels, US Operations senior completions engineer Ovintiv

Since launching in the U.S., Coil+ has:

• February 2024 – STEP performs first Coil+ well, total depth TD: 25,529 ft (7,781 m), lateral length: 14,615 ft (4,455 m), Delaware Basin
• September 2024 – Deepest Coil+ well achieved: 30,210 ft (9,208 m) lateral length: 19,900 ft (6,065 m), Williston basin
• August 2025 – 100 wells completed with a 99% success rate reaching TD
• Ongoing 2025 – Expanding Coil+ deployments into Canada and new U.S. basins, supporting growing client demand

“Reaching 100 Coil+ wells reflects our team’s dedication and the trust of our clients,” said Brian Clark, VP U.S. operations. “Achieving 100 wells with zero recordable injuries is a testament to our commitment to safe operations. We are grateful to our valued clients for their continued partnership - their confidence in Coil+ drives us to push the technology to new limits.”

With growing adoption across key basins, STEP Energy Services remains committed to delivering faster, safer, interventions. This milestone underscores both our technology’s strength and the partnerships that drive its success.
