Global Shale Energy Development: Expanding Economics, Trends, and Implications
New and Historic Energy Direction with Shale Increasing share of U.S. natural gas production. 50%? 70%? (2040) Energy security Geopolitical Workforce E&P, manufacturing, and beyond Environmental benefits-power gen. GHG advantage over coal Strategic fit with renewables Balance of trade benefit LNG export Opportunity for technical innovation Research to mitigate environmental and commercial risk
Marcellus Center for Outreach and Research Research Down hole technical issues Above ground risk(s) Air emissions Community impacts Socio-economic Agriculture, tourism Environmental Water lifecycle impacts Workforce Business dev l Regulatory Governance
Geopolitics Importance of energy increasing in global politics Russian/Ukraine dynamic Iran/Middle East less of focus? Increasing shale energy emphasis in EU nations 470 tcf estimated reserve (80% of U.S. estimates EIA) Collectively --Parliamentary directives Individually --Poland/UK U.S. LNG policy impact on Russian gas strategy Federal initiatives UGTEP program State Dept Four continents Partnerships with DOE, EPA, Interior Federal trade mission programs --USTDA
U.S. vs. International Different scale Availability of equipment, trained crews, etc. Gas transmission capacity Markets Demand potential Power generation switching (coal to gas and back) Mexico and Canada Industrial use/petrochemicals quick ramp up Ownership of minerals Technical data, i.e. seismic

Unconventional Development in NE U.S.
Unconventional Gas Production in Pennsylvania
NE U.S. Production Changes Northeast U.S.is largest NG demand market in North America. Estimated increase to 34bcf/d by 2035* Several in Bcf/d group Will displace pipeline flow by 5.5+ bcf/d $4-5 for 5 years? Region will become net gas supplier to other regions of U.S. South Eastern Canada *Source: ICF International

Emerging Shale Targets
Marcellus Shale one of the largest shale gas reservoir in the world with an estimated 500 TCF of recoverable gas a 20-year supply for the entire US

New Energy Dynamics with NGS Production vs. utilization Adding value to the commodity? Large energy consumers Industrial Power Domestic/Cross-border Transportation Petrochemicals/Fertilizer New industrial renaissance? reshoring of manufacturing Manufacturing costs 15% cheaper than Germany or France Implications for Asian trade? Increased investment in U.S. Chemical Industry 17,000 direct jobs, 395,000 indirect jobs $100B capital investment w/$132.4b increase US economic output Ethylene Production Capacity increase 30% increase (2011 to 2017) 5 new facilities (Dow, Shell, Chevron, Formosa, Sasol)
U.S. Energy Pricing
LNG Export Emerging capacity to export the commodity 4 permits issued for Gulf Coast Cove Point approved 9/14 Jordan Cove 3/24/14 Alaska permitted again Western/Eastern Canada 10+ bcf/d current. High level?? Economics favorable? Pricing Spot, long-term contract, oil-linked Competitive environment -East Africa, Australia, Canada, Qatar Federal permitting Political will increasing Geopolitical implications End markets Europe, Asia, Chile, Europe, Baltics
Canada British Columbia looking to be Canada s Alberta for nat gas Western Canadian gas looking to find home Asia Eastern markets finding Marcellus gas Maritimes?? Quebec?? Exports of Marcellus via NE and Goldboro NS Export options NS/NB regional supply/marcellus Increasing supply in Newfoundland mostly offshore

PA Shale Economic Impacts According to PA Department of Labor through 2012: Approximately new 20,000 jobs in "corerelated industries (direct jobs) Approximately 200,000 jobs supported partially by industry As of 4Q 2013 PA collected: Approx. $800M in well impact fees by end of 2014 Approximately $2 billion in taxes from 2006-2012 Questions: Externalities covered? Current tax protocols correct? Larger public share? Local jobs? Trained? Durability over time? Local business growth?
Challenges Lack of broad awareness of energy use/need Social license to operate in communities Impacts of social media Zoning and land use court challenges Choke points in supply to critical areas --NE U.S. Right of way access going forward Governance/transparency Infrastructure needs in roads, bridges, rail, airports in rural areas Trained workforce Institutional capacity Lag in training vs. demand skill sets Cyber security concerns Political will Long-term energy policy Local/State/Federal levels $$$
