Conventional vs. Unconventional Conventional Charge Reservoir Trap/Seal Prospects move along the Value Chain Exploration Development Production Challenge is finding the hydrocarbons Unconventional Shale plays all three roles: Charge, Reservoir, Trap/Seal High Volume / Lower Cost Development requires an contemporaneous integrated approach Challenge is finding the Sweet Spots Page 4
Unconventional Is Not New 1694 British Crown issued a patent to extract and make great quantities of pitch, tarr, and oyle out of a sort of stone. 1830 s Commercial production of lamp oil from shale oil in France 1851 Commercial oil production from Torbanite (boghead coal) in Scotland Page 5

Challenges in the Shale The Speed of the Business Logistics Integration Advanced Analytics manage the exceptions And the management of the vast amount of data and information upon which these Business processes are so dependent! Page 9
The Speed of the Business Business in the Shale is operating at previously unseen speeds Strain on operations Critical need for timely, accurate information Operating efficiency methods Re-thinking the conventional way 140,000,000 120,000,000 100,000,000 80,000,000 60,000,000 40,000,000 20,000,000 0 Annual Bakken Production Bakken Production as a Percent of ND Production 100.00% 80.00% 60.00% 40.00% 20.00% 0.00% Page 10
Logistics and Integration With the number of wells, the drilled footage, and production all on the rise, information requirements are changing... Access to timely and accurate land holding and expirations Supply chain issues for rigs, tubing, water, sand and other materials Product and by-product distribution issues Access to real-time drilling and completions data Scheduling Safety...

What do all these core Upstream processes have in Common? Reserves Reporting Drilling Operations Integrated Reservoir Management Production Optimization Field Material Mgt and Maint. Production Revenue Accounting Regulatory Compliance Annual Report Lease Management Without trusted Well Header data they are ineffective and their potential value will not be realized. 12 page 12
Challenges of Well Header Data Data continues to be stored in silo s by functional departments Well data takes on new meaning as it gets passed to each group Trust concerns in the data to make business decisions Trusted source of information changes across the life of the Well Real numbers from a large independent page 13
What is Master Data Management? Master Data Management (MDM) A set of disciplines, technologies, and solutions used to create and maintain consistent, complete, contextual, and accurate business data for all stakeholders: captured once, on time, accurately, completely, correctly, and consistently thus enabling master data quality; non-transactional in nature with no rapidly changing data, quasi-static; stored in a way that guarantees integrity and a single place of reference; and made available to those who need it, whenever they need it, both internally and externally. page 14

Better Decision Making Capabilities Required The New Assembly Line Expanding Data Sources Challenging Integration Just in Time Management Expanded Data Coverage New data sources, e.g. Land, Production Challenging Integration Faster, higher volume and real-time Just In-Time Management Big Data, Predictive similar to the manufacturing process Continuous Improvement Page 16
Understanding the Assembly Line Some companies drill over 1000 wells a year in shale plays. The difference between $7,500,000 per well and $8,000,000 per well, over an entire year s operations is half a billion dollars! Data Analysis can help to create these efficiencies Reduce the number of trips (drill bits, muds, motor reliability) Geosteering (staying in the formation while drilling) Anti-Collision Advanced analytics to analyze and optimize the entire well lifecycle Page 17
Categories of Analytics Analytics is an organizational capability, not a single tool or approach Visualization and data Predictive Right-time and real-time analytics Organizations need to build capabilities in several analytic tools and techniques with a set of use cases that apply to each Page 18
Monitoring and Intervention Monitor actual operating statistics relative to benchmarks and forecasts Automatic detection of discrepancies and anomalies in cost, ROP, NPT, HSE, bit wear, geologic drilling hazards and equipment failures to permit timely intervention Alarm and notification systems Kickoff workflows Tailored to client specific needs
Model Development and Revision Implement a continuous feedback and improvement process Automatically update correlations and statistics for both predictive analytics and event simulation models upon the conclusion of a job Tools for development and revision of forecasting models Economics models support value of information computation to help you decide if further information or analysis is warranted
