The Convergence of Water and Energy

Energy production is one of the largest users of water in the United States

According to the EIA over 80% of the country’s energy comes from fossil fuels

Fossil fuel production is dependent on the effective management of water

Water is an integral part of any discussion of a National Energy Policy

3

 


LOGO

 

Natural Gas as Part of a National Integrated Energy Policy

There are over 100,000 natural gas powered vehicles in the US, and over 11 million world wide, with more being added every day 1

There are currently 837 CNG and 38 LNG fueling stations in the US 2

Fresh interest in natural gas vehicles has even inspired GM to recently announce a new line of CNG feet vehicles

Economic growth will increase the need for natural gas

National policies ordering or favoring all fleet conversion will increase the need for natural gas

“Complex Waters” From Energy

The energy industry creates daily produced water volumes 2.5 times greater than oil volumes

Nearly 22 billion barrels of produced water were generated by oil & gas operations in 2004 1 before Shale!

Because of the high levels of TDS (total dissolved solids) in produced water it must be either treated for reuse or disposed of in deep injection wells

Produced water comprises approximately 98% of the total volume of E&P waste generated by the industry 2

The market over the next five years for produced water management is estimated at $9.8 billion dollars and $4.3 billion dollars for produced water treatment systems 3

Water and Hydraulic Fracturing

Natural Gas currently supplies approximately 22% the nation’s energy 1

Up to 80% of natural gas wells drilled in the next decade will require hydraulic fracturing 2

It takes 2 to 4 million gallons of freshwater to drill and fracture a horizontal shale gas well 1

Flowback water and produced water can contain anywhere between 5,000 ppm and 200,000 ppm of TDS—some operators have reported levels of TDS as high as 400,000 1

Sea water contains between 30,000 and 40,000 ppm

Every state government wants big reductions in TDS

Heckmann Water in Texas & Louisiana

A 50-mile pipeline in the Haynesville Shale in Northeast Texas and Louisiana First of its kind gathering system for a major unconventional shale gas play Pipeline can take up to 100,000 barrels per day of water (4,200,000 gallons) We take the water to our disposal wells (8 now with more permitted) 46% of pipeline committed and under contract At capacity the EBITDA run rate can exceed $20 million dollars annually Pipeline cost was approximately $28,000,000 or $560,000/mile

The Haynesville Market

3.5 million acres in Louisiana and Texas leased for exploration Field just developing on a large scale

As of April there are approximately 470 producing wells

Over 1100 new well permits filed in the last 2 years Compare to 13,000 shale wells and 30 TCF in Barnett shale

Haynesville has greater estimated gas reserves than the

Barnett — reserve estimates as high as 4x Lots of water to be produced

The Haynesville Shale Water

Disposal Opportunities

In Haynesville and Barnett Shales there are over 50,000 depleted wells Many can be converted to disposal wells

Many states allow produced water to be re-injected into the ground through the deep wells Hundreds of 130 barrel capacity trucks transport water from producing wells to disposal wells daily All in costs run on average from $1.25/barrel to $1.75/barrel depending on distance trucked and diesel costs HEK pipeline disposal prices average $.85/barrel to $1.25/barrel depending on distance HEK pipeline will replace over 750 water “truck

The Marcellus Water Management Opportunities

Water laws are very stringent

Less than 50 deep injection disposal wells in PA and WV

It will be difficult to develop additional injection wells according to the D.O.E.

Regional topography makes transporting billions of gallons of water difficult at best and in many cases just not viable Spans 15 million acres, 5x the Haynesville / 10x the Barnett Located largely in rural areas but close to US population centers 4 to 10 times the amount of shale gas reserve estimates compared to the Haynesville

The Politics of Water in the Shale Plays

Renewable and alternative fuels are years away and may never be sufficient natural gas is here now

Extraordinary advances in technology have unlocked access to large volumes the Shale plays

Previously natural gas distribution was hindered by an “aging and inadequate network of pipelines” 1

Now the pipelines are here and more are on the way

The Politics of Water in the Shale Plays

Shale plays create exciting prospects , but also tension among multiple constituents such as EPA, DEP’s, state & local governments, producers, landowners, employers and job seekers

Marcellus Shale brought $4.5 billion dollars and over 44,000 jobs into Pennsylvania in 2009 — those figures are expected to double for 2010 1

Environmental groups continue to be concerned about the possible effects of drilling

Investments in Water

We know that water issues are key to the development of energy

We know that shale gas development depends on the issues around water being solved

We know who the big oil and gas companies are, and We know who the big pipeline companies are
