  1. Building the Future for Western PennsylvaniaOctober 6,2010 Marcellus Shale Showcase Presentation Frank Hajduk – ORA Board Member

  2. Building the Future for Western Pennsylvania – Agenda Background Western Pennsylvania – Unique Challenges and Opportunities Building the Future for our Region Key Success Factors Role of the Oil Region Alliance Our Legacy

  3. Torpedoing a well – 1860’s

  4. Background Western Pennsylvania ushered in the birth of the Oil and Natural Gas industries We have a long history with these industries and a knowledge of the full lifecycle of their business impact The infrastructure is in place to support the Marcellus Shale Development

  5. Building the Future for Western Pennsylvania – Agenda Background Western Pennsylvania – Unique Challenges and Opportunities Building the Future for our Region Key Success Factors Role of the Oil Region Alliance Our Legacy

  6. Western Pennsylvania – Unique Challenges and Opportunities The shale is thinner is our region and will be explored later in the “play”

  7. Marcellus Shale Thickness

  8. Gas wells currently in the state

  9. Non – Marcellus Permits – 53% Marcellus Permits – 47%

  10. Western Pennsylvania – Unique Challenges and Opportunities The shale is thinner is our region and will be explored later in the “play” We are in the area of “wet” or “rich” gas

  11. Wet / Dry Gas Line

  12. Western Pennsylvania – Unique Challenges and Opportunities The shale is thinner is our region and will be explored later in the “play” We are in the area or “wet” or “rich” gas We have ample water and approved treatment facilities in the region

  13. Western Pennsylvania – Unique Challenges and Opportunities The shale is thinner is our region and will be explored later in the “play” We are in the area or “wet” or “rich” gas We have ample water and approved treatment facilities in the region The major gas transportation lines and infrastructure are in place or in process

  14. U.S. Gas Pipeline System

  15. Venango Co. Gas Lines

  16. Building the Future for Western Pennsylvania – Agenda Background Western Pennsylvania – Unique Challenges and Opportunities Building the Future for our Region Key Success Factors Role of the Oil Region Alliance Our Legacy

  17. Building the Future for our Region • We are committed to building sustainable businesses and relationships that outlive the “boom” and utilize the advantages of Western Pennsylvania • Water transportation and treatment

  18. Water Transport and Treatment Water treatment facility using an evaporative process to separate out the brine from frac wastewater

  19. Water Transport and Treatment • Water treatment facility using an evaporative process to separate out the brine from frac wastewater • New DEP regulations require treatment of Marcellus wastewater to achieve Total Dissolved Solids of 500mg/liter after processing

  20. Water Transport and Treatment • Water treatment facility using an evaporative process to separate out the brine from frac wastewater • New DEP regulations require treatment of Marcellus wastewater to achieve Total Dissolved Solids of 500mg/liter after processing • Evaporation is the most viable technology that can achieve this

  21. Water Transport and Treatment • Water treatment facility using an evaporative process to separate out the brine from frac wastewater • New DEP regulations require treatment of Marcellus wastewater to achieve Total Dissolved Solids of 500mg/liter after processing • Evaporation is the most viable technology that can achieve this • We are uniquely positioned along the Allegheny River to achieve this

  22. . DEP Title 25 Ch. 95, page 4

  23. 242 159 409 346 Pennsylvania Watersheds Average TDS Concentration Estimates ( 500 is the limit ) No Permits to be issued above 375

  24. Allegheny River – Franklin to Emlenton Franklin Brine Treatment Airport Gas Power Plant Coal Power Plant Emlenton Refinery I-80

  25. Water Transport and Treatment Water treatment facility using an evaporative process to separate out the brine from frac wastewater Create a transportation infrastructure for moving water by rail and road

  26. Railways and Roads along Allegheny Freight Railways in Western Pennsylvania

  27. Building the Future for our Region • We are committed to building sustainable businesses and relationships that outlive the “boom” and utilize the advantages of Western Pennsylvania • Water transportation and treatment • “Wet gas” Development

  28. “Wet gas “ Development • Install a stripper plant in the region • Currently one being built in Evans City in Butler County

  29. “Wet gas “ Development • Install a stripper plant in the region • Currently one being built in Evans City in Butler County • Recruit chemical plants that use propane, methane, ethane, and butane as feedstock

  30. “Wet gas “ Development • Install a stripper plant in the region • Currently one being built in Evans City in Butler County • Recruit chemical plants that use propane, methane, ethane, and butane as feedstock • Create storage and transportation systems for these gases as capacity increases

  31. Building the Future for our Region • We are committed to building sustainable businesses and relationships that outlive the “boom” and utilize the advantages of Western Pennsylvania • Water transportation and treatment • “Wet gas” Development • Expand the use of natural gas products

  32. Expand the Use of Natural Gas Products Natural gas power plants using as much of the higher BTU content “wet” gas as possible ( approx. 26% more heat content / cubic foot)

  33. Expand the Use of Natural Gas Products Natural gas power plants using higher BTU content “wet” gas if possible Recruit energy intensive industries to take advantage of available power

  34. Expand the Use of Natural Gas Products Natural gas power plants using higher BTU content “wet” gas if possible Recruit energy intensive industries to take advantage of available power Become a storage area for natural gas and its by-products

  35. Expand the Use of Natural Gas Products Natural gas power plants using higher BTU content “wet” gas if possible Recruit energy intensive industries to take advantage of available power Become a storage area for natural gas and its by-products Recruit businesses that use methane as a feedstock

  36. Expand the Use of Natural Gas Products Natural gas power plants using higher BTU content “wet” gas if possible Recruit energy intensive industries to take advantage of available power Become a storage area for natural gas and its by-products Recruit businesses that use methane as a feedstock Recruit businesses to convert the transportation industry from petroleum to natural gas
