   THE BI-WEEKLY BOTTOM LINE

   Long-Cycle Awards Build While Prices Drift

   This page summarizes the two-week period's key share-price movements, contract awards, and transaction activity in one view.

   Six of seven covered names fell over the period, with the sector median move at -2.6% against the S&P 500's +1.6%. Weatherford International plc (WFRD) was the lone gainer at +0.7%, while USA Compression Partners, LP (USAC) led declines at -4.3%. SLB and TechnipFMC plc (FTI) added multi-year, integrated awards even as the group traded down, and the trailing precedent set of 40 deals still frames pricing at a 5.2x EV/EBITDA median. So what: award momentum is building the operating case while the market waits for confirmation in third-quarter results.

Driver attributions use calibrated language and are NeuraCap reads of the recorded evidence. Oil and Gas Equipment and Services Bi-Weekly Update | September 14–28, 2026 | Confidential | Not investment advice Sources & methodology 2 1 6 of 7 Covered Names Fell; The Median Move Was -2.6% The S&P 500 returned +1.6% over the same two-week period. Weatherford International plc (WFRD) was the only covered name to finish higher, at +0.7%, while USA Compression Partners, LP (USAC) was the weakest at -4.3%. 2 The Award Record Improved Even as the Group Traded Down SLB took four multi-year integrated well construction contracts in Saudi Arabia and a facility expansion contract in Oman. TechnipFMC plc (FTI) won an integrated iEPCI award offshore Malaysia. All three are long-cycle, internationally weighted scope. 3 The Transaction Record Stood Still This Period No material sector transactions were announced during the period. The trailing set of 40 precedent transactions still frames pricing at a 5.2x EV/EBITDA median. 4 The Standing Thesis Holds: One Segment Label, Two Pricing Regimes NeuraCap's read is that this window confirms rather than challenges the standing view. The sector study's CY2027E median sits at 7.7x, with the Premium tier at 11.9x and the Discount tier at 2.4x, and nothing in the period's evidence argues for moving names between those regimes. +0.7% Best mover — Weatherford International plc (WFRD) worst: USAC -4.3% · 1 up / 6 down of 7 covered -2.6% Sector median two-week return vs S&P 500 +1.6%

   PUBLIC MARKET MOVERS

   The Group Gave Ground While One Core-Tier Name Held Its Price

   This page ranks the two-week share-price moves for the seven covered names against the sector median and the S&P 500.

   The group gave ground this period, with a sector median move of -2.6% against a materiality bar of 3.9% (sector-relative) and the S&P 500 up +1.6%. Weatherford International plc (WFRD) was the only name to hold its price, closing +0.7%, while USA Compression Partners, LP (USAC) was the weakest at -4.3%. Attribution here links each move only to filings and headlines recorded in the window, and where no driver is recorded, the page says so. So what: a single core-tier name holding its price against a falling group is a signal worth tracking into next period.

   MAJOR NEWS & INDUSTRY CATALYSTS

   Integrated Awards Put Backlog Conversion Back at the Centre

   This page lists the two-week period's highest-impact industry events, including integrated contract awards, with sources linked.

   SLB took four multi-year integrated well construction contracts in Saudi Arabia plus a facility expansion award in Oman, and TechnipFMC plc (FTI) won an integrated iEPCI award offshore Malaysia. All three are long-cycle, internationally weighted scope of the kind that lifts book-to-bill and lengthens backlog conversion. Each event links to its source, and the 'why it matters' lines are NeuraCap reads tied to the recorded evidence. So what: this is the strongest run of integrated, multi-year awards tracked this period, and it puts backlog conversion back at the centre of the story.

Sep 23 · NEWS · Business Wire SLB takes an integrated facility expansion contract in Oman spanning design through construction Capturing design, engineering, procurement and construction in one contract is how integrated delivery earns scope rather than competing on unit price.

   M&A & STRATEGIC ACTIVITY

   The Reference Set Gained Awards, Not Transactions

   This page reports the two-week period's transaction record against the trailing set of precedent deals.

   No material sector transactions were announced during this period, so the reference set gained awards, not deals. The trailing precedent set of 40 recorded transactions still frames pricing at a 5.2x EV/EBITDA median, and no old transactions are re-presented as news. So what: with the transaction record steady, the trailing 5.2x median remains the reference point for any pricing conversation acquirers open next.

   WHAT IT MEANS

   What the Two-Week Period Changes for You

   This page translates the two-week period's evidence into implications for owners, acquirers, and advisors.

   For owners and operators, this period's awards were multi-year and integrated, the kind of scope that lifts book-to-bill and lengthens backlog conversion. For acquirers, pricing references held: the trailing set of 40 transactions at a 5.2x EV/EBITDA median still frames what buyers have paid. For advisors, the strongest lead is backlog quality, not backlog size, against a group where six of seven covered names fell and the median move was -2.6%. So what: awards built the case this period; prices wait for third-quarter results.

   SOURCES & METHODOLOGY

   Sources, Methodology and Important Notice

   This page explains the sources and methodology behind the update's figures and claims.

   Every figure in this update links to the record it was taken from, and the publishers and filings drawn on for the period are listed on this page. We hold to a fixed reliability order—SEC filings, press releases, established outlets—and never draw on video or social platforms. So what: you can trace every number here back to its source before you act on it.

   SOURCES & METHODOLOGY Sources, Methodology and Important Notice How this bi-weekly update is built and what each kind of statement rests on · September 14–28, 2026 · market data through 2026-09-28 Every figure in this update links to the record it was taken from; the publishers and filings drawn on for the period are listed above. Oil and Gas Equipment and Services Bi-Weekly Update | September 14–28, 2026 | Confidential | Not investment advice 7 OBSERVED DATA Bi-Weekly stock moves are computed close-to-close over the stated window from the platform’s price series. Deal records, values and multiples come from the platform’s transaction record (SEC 8-K extractions) exactly as recorded; each figure links to its citation. Treasury rates come from the platform’s Treasury series and are shown only when the 10-year moved at least ten basis points over the window (it did not in this window, so no rate figures appear). UNIVERSE QUALITY The update universe is the platform’s approved company set for this sector, subject to a $100M market-cap floor so small, loosely related names cannot dominate the statistics. 1 name below the floor was excluded from movers and statistics for this window. EVENTS & NEWS Company events are in-window 8-K filings; news items are publisher-sourced headlines fetched for the window (and any externally supplied items, marked as such). Operational and strategic developments (deals, partnerships, launches, expansion, guidance, leadership, regulatory outcomes) are shown first; capital-return mechanics and conference appearances are limited to one each. Every event links to its source. The deck never asserts an event that has no linked record. SOURCE HIERARCHY News is admitted in a fixed order of reliability: SEC filings first, then company press releases and investor-relations communications, then transaction documents, then established outlets (Reuters, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s and peers). Video and social platforms — including YouTube — are never used as sources. DRIVER ATTRIBUTION A stock move is linked to an event only when the event falls inside the window, and only in calibrated language ("the move appears to reflect…", "shares moved following…"). Where no driver is recorded, the page says so and compares the move to the sector median instead. ANALYTICAL INTERPRETATION "Why it matters", "why the deal happened" and the what-it-means page are NeuraCap analytical views drawn from the recorded evidence, and are labeled as such. INHERITED CONTEXT The standing sector view (thesis, valuation lens, sector median and tiering) is inherited from the NeuraCap sector study run_20260928T060705Z_298_prod (market data as of 2026-09-28) — distilled, never re-derived. That report’s own sources page governs its content; this update reads the period against it. IMPORTANT NOTICE This report is informational only. It is not investment advice, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and not an offer of any kind. Readers should perform their own diligence before acting on anything described here.
