Key Observations on “State of Play” • Return expectations are strong: • CHK rate of return averaging in excess of 40%. • Gulfport rate of return of 100% for Boy Scout and Wagner wells. • Midstream infrastructure has constrained production. Bottleneck eliminated when 1 BCF of Utica processing is online by YE 2013. • More rigs active in Ohio Utica than WVa and western Pa. • Buyers market for shale acreage, even in most prolific plays (Richard Zeitis) • Many factors influence why companies buy or sell acreage: • Chesapeake selling only 10% of Utica holdings. Have also sold acreage in Eagle Ford, Mississippi Lime, Permian, Marcellus and Delaware basins. Reducing debt. • EnerVest attempting to sell Utica acreage. Strategy is to acquire, build up then sell onshore properties. Also own 2% royalty in 880,000 Utica acres. • Multi-decade inventories or development acreage are in place for many companies.
Economic Impact of Shale Ohio Companies Benefiting from Shale Activity • V&M Star, Youngstown – steel tubing • Miller Supply, Inc., Wooster – oilfield supply and services • Pioneer Group, Marietta – midstream fabrication and construction • Timken, Canton – manufacturer and supplier of bearings • Ariel Corporation, Mt. Vernon – gas compressors • PotashCorp, Lima – producer of nitrogen-based products; large natural gas user • Gorman-Rupp, Mansfield – pumps used in oilfield operations • Kelchner, Springboro – construction • DBA Mutual Tool, Tipp City – fabricating
Pipeline & Midstream Projects Ohio Utica Shale *Announced Gathering – Processing – Fractionation
Investments in Ohio Utica Shale *Over three years, dependent upon actual rig activity
Pursuing Downstream Opportunities: • Global polymer industry leader • World class university-based research and strong engineering programs • Four refineries in Ohio • Utica shale provides low-cost and reliable supply of natural gas and natural gas liquids • Possible links to specialty chemicals
Pursuing Downstream Opportunities: Natural Gas Liquids Ethane/Propane/Butane Ethylene/Propylene/Butadiene Plastics/Synthetic Rubber
