Operating & Expanding in the U.S. Production Plays
11
• Increasing unconventional production is driving demand for smaller & shorter distance pipelines and gathering systems
• New supply areas lack sufficient infrastructure
• The natural gas, NGL and oil midstream sectors are projected to require capital expenditures of $10 billion per year(1)
• Willbros is strategically positioning offices in the liquids-rich plays
Broaden our offerings to provide strategic customers the services they want in the places they want them

Market Drivers
Willbros Integrity Management Offerings
Ability to offer discrete and integrated EPC services
• Aging pipeline infrastructure with significant exposure in densely populated areas
• Fatal pipeline incidents across the U.S.– San Bruno, CA and Allentown, PA
• New regulations by DOT/PHMSA are expected to be imposed in 2012
• There are ~3,000 companies with over 2.5 million miles of pipelines– Pipeline integrity services market is
expected to double to ~$12 bn/year starting in 2012(1)
– Upgrade initiatives will be offset by increased rate bases
• Data mining• MAOP validation• Class location analysis• As-built services• Corrosion services• Risk & threat
assessment (1) Willbros estimate based on data from American Gas Association and operator projections
• Maintenance• Construction • Engineering • Survey services• EPC• Operations
Pipeline Integrity Management Solution
• Partnered with GeoEye to develop a cloud-based pipeline lifecycle integrity management solution: – Provides customers easy access to real-
time pipeline information served from the Google Earth Builder platform
– We believe this will become the standard in pipeline integrity management
September 2012
Canadian Opportunities Improving in Oil Sands• Production from the oil sands set to increase significantly over the next decade
– Production expected to increase from ~1.5 MMBD in 2010 to ~2.2 MMBD by 2015 • Capital spending is forecast to peak at $22 billion in 2014
– 20% higher than previous peak of 07/08 and close to double from 2009• Labor shortage will be a factor
