20 3PLs Expanding Oil & Natural Gas Business in the Bakken Formation Bakken Formation, a Significant New Domestic Source of Oil and Natural Gas: According to the 2008 United States Geological Survey, the Bakken Formation of the Williston Basin Province in Montana and North Dakota has estimated average undiscovered volumes of: 3.65 billion barrels of technically recoverable oil, 1.85 trillion cubic feet of associated/dissolved natural gas, and 148 million barrels of natural gas liquids. Source: USGS According to OilShaleGas.com, there are now over 6,000 active oil wells in the Bakken Formation with most activity in Montana and North Dakota. 20

21 3PLs Expanding Oil & Natural Gas Business in the Bakken Formation BNSF Logistics Bakken Operations Logistics Support Case Study Example: BNSFL manages up to 10 to 15 oil rig moves per month for multiple oil & gas exploration companies including Continental Resources and Brigham Oil. Each move requires approximately 30 days to relocate a rig from one location to another. To assemble a rig, 20 to 30 truckloads of materials and components are needed. Overhead cranes are required to unload larger rig components. To locally coordinate the oil rig moves, BNSFL opened an office in Williston, North Dakota last year. To support natural gas fracking operations, BNSFL manages inbound transportation for multiple exploration/drilling companies to the drilling sites. Inbound materials include drilling pipe, pumping units, frac sand, and fracking chemicals. The frac sand is sourced domestically from mines in Illinois and Wisconsin and a small amount of ceramic sand is imported via ocean containers from China and Brazil. BNSFL supports frac sand moves with door-to-door ocean import services, rail to truck transload services and intermodal rail-truck deliveries. In 2011, BNSFL transloaded sand from 528 rail hopper cars to trucks for final delivery to drilling sites. BNSFL s parent BNSF Railway delivered over 25,000 railcars of frac sand into the Bakken last year. 21

25 3PL Market Predictions Asia-Pacific and South America will continue to be the fastest growing 3PL Markets. Increasing focus on domestic markets for finished goods distribution Indonesia could be the real deal with the 5 th largest global workforce at 117.4M, a median age of 28.5 years, and 16 th largest GDP growing at 6.5%. A more modern-oriented Middle East should bolster growth in air and ocean freight. 3PL M&A activity will continue at a healthy pace, but good targets are limited. Recent M&A deals have involved smaller ITM 3PLs indicating an expansion by domestic transportation managers internationally via M&A. Purchases have been strategic and reflect the prevailing interest in non-asset businesses. Mexican-American cross border traffic should continue to increase. Increased near-shoring Slowing U.S. auto sales could impose limits. 25

26 3PL Market Predictions (Continued) Overall U.S. 3PL Market Growth should be similar to GDP growth is estimated at 1.5%. DTM will lead. Project Logistics for Oil & Gas will continue to be strong. Long-term manufacturers relying on oil & gas as inputs will increase production in North America. Domestic Transportation Management/Freight Brokerage will continue to become increasingly competitive. The greatest pressure will be on small brokers. Gross margin pressure will continue with all players trying to achieve scale. Expansion into DCC by general truckload providers will continue. 26
