JOHNSON COUNTY, TEXAS Unconventional Barnett Shale • Barnett Shale gas is an unconventional resource • Johnson County has long been known to have Barnett Shale • This Barnett Shale was known to contain gas • Missing Viola and Forestburg frac barriers • Six wells targeted the Barnett Shale • Yielding two marginal producers and a few shut in wells
OBJECTIVES In the Johnson County Barnett • Produce gas without Ellenburger water • Cut costs • Improve on results • Cut costs • Improve on results • Repeat these steps one as often as possible. . . . .
HALLWOOD’S APROACH THROUGH 2002 • Acquired approximately 25,000 net acres • Drilled four exploratory wells • Designed completions that avoided conventional wisdom • Avoided Ellenburger water in three out of four wells • Established commercial gas production • Built our own infrastructure
TIMELINE THROUGH 2003 • First gas sales February 2003 • Continued drilling vertical wells to evaluate shale • Evaluated various frac techniques • Each design built upon the last, both good and bad • Micro polymer, foamed gel, slick water • Varying rates, sand concentrations, sand sizes • Varied perforating strategies

Unconventional resources may occur where there is no infrastructure. • No markets • No water disposals • An uninformed public
An uninformed public - positives • Lease forms that are simple, yet fair to everyone • Equitable bonus and royalty terms • An opportunity to educate
An uninformed public - negatives • The education process can be frustrating and time consuming • We may be viewed as the stereotypical JR Ewing • Visions of Jeb Clampett • The neighborhood real estate attorney begins practicing oil and gas law
Unconventional resources may occur where there is no infrastructure. • No markets • No water disposals • An uninformed public • An hour drive to the nearest bull plug salesman
UNCONVENTIONAL GAS MEANS CONTINUING EDUCATION • Lower vertical drilling costs • Lower horizontal well costs
DRILLING COMPARISON Vertical – Air vs Mud
DRILLING COMPARISON Horizontal – Air vs Mud
UNCONVENTIONAL GAS MEANS CONTINUING EDUCATION • Lower vertical drilling costs • Lower horizontal well costs • Evaluate perforating strategies • Optimize horizontal well spacing • Optimize horizontal frac volumes
We should not be surprised when doing the same as we have always done yields the same results we have always gotten. We must innovate. We must continue to improve.
