  9. General Characteristics of Productive Shales Source: William Grieser, Halliburton Company.

  10. SHALE GAS RESOURCE ESTIMATES Potential Gas Committee added about 200 Tcf to U.S. resource assessment between 2004 and 2006 – almost all attributed to new shale-related data Navigant Consulting, Inc. (2008) estimates 275-842 Tcf from 17 U.S. shale plays

  11. SELECTED SHALE GAS RESOURCE ESTIMATES Shale Play Estimate (Tcf) Max Gas In-Place (Tcf) Antrim 13 76 Appalachian 70 1744 Marcellus 34 1500 Haynesville 34 717 Fayetteville 26 52 Barnett 26 168 Lewis (New Mexico) 10 61 Lewis (Wyoming) 14 98 Mean estimate for U.S. shale resources, 274 Tcf Gas in-place estimates as high as 3,765 Tcf (Navigant Consulting, Inc.)

  12. SHALE GAS PRODUCTION ESTIMATES Depending on the source, some analysts estimate that shale production now at about 5 Bcf per day will grow to 27-35 Bcf per day by the end of the next decade Will this be additive to current production rates or will it only replace other declining production capability?

  19. Number of Natural GasCustomers Increasing MILLIONS OF CUSTOMERS

  20. Abundant domestic supply resource base to meet demand growth at reasonable costs Innovative rate designs to align interests of utility and customers Increased direct use of natural gas can reduce energy consumption and costs, lower carbon emissions and enhance national energy security Gas utility industry is a solid, safe, responsible investment Our Industry’s Future Looks Bright

  21. Utility Operations Technologies on the Horizon • Smart Meters • Expanded Use of Mapping and Other Informational Systems • Enhanced Locating Technologies • Improved Leak Detection (Vehicles and Handheld) • Improved Design, Construction and Materials • Enhanced Pipeline Repair/Rehabilitation
