2 Field Study Introduction NUTECH has combined its expertise with the emerging interest in North American shale plays in order to develop the most detailed regional ﬁeld studies available to the E&P industry. These studies have been developed through NUTECH s experience and analysis of several thousand wells with core and production data. Each of NUTECH s studies provides insight into the connectivity across the area by simulating geological and petrophysical property distributions. The results conﬁrm the stratigraphic variability as well as identify and quantify hydrocarbon columns per well and across the study area. NUTECH s management team will provide geological-based input to assist you in decision making on each well, including working closely with your technical personnel in connection with well evaluations and listings.

Fracture Geometry Comparison Net Present Value Optimization Production Prediction Comparison Field Study Deliverables Geomechanical Analysis Rock Properties such as, Poisson s ratio, Young s modulus, Biot s constant, pore pressure, overburden pressure, in-situ stress profile descriptions, and brittleness 1. Young s Modulus is a measure of the stiffness of the rock. It can be obtained from the measurement of dynamic modulus using sonic log measurements. Calculations of Young s Modulus based on the petrophysical properties of an interval are correlated to core or sonic log measurements, allowing for good predictions in intervals where sonic and core data are not available. This property impacts both the NuStim fracture and production models. Typical Young s Moduli range from 100,000 to 10,000,000 psi 2. Poisson s ratio is a rock property which governs the NuStim fracture growth model. It is a component of the stress profile. Poisson s ratio is defined as the ratio of lateral strain to longitudinal strain. It can be obtained from core measurements or indirectly obtained from sonic log measurements. Calculations of Poisson s ratio based on the petrophysical properties of an interval are correlated to core or sonic log measurements, allowing for good predictions in intervals where sonic and core data are not available. Poisson s ratio values typically range from 0.15 to Brittleness coefficient (%) - Lower values indicate a ductile zone, while higher values indicate a more brittle interval. A brittle zone is more likely to be naturally fractured and to respond positively to waterfrac stimulation techniques

8 Utica Regional Field Study Historically, the Utica / Point Pleasant section has been considered the probable source rock for the adjacent Trenton / Black River reservoirs. These source units are now considered as potential hydrocarbon targets and are quickly becoming one the next significant unconventional plays in North America. The Utica / Point Pleasant section was deposited over a 10 million year period during the Middle and Upper Ordovician as part of the Cincinnati Group. The Point Pleasant formation consists of a series of interbedded limestones with a mix of calcareous and black organic shales that were deposited in a localized sub- basin in the Central Appalachian Basin located between the Lexington and Trenton Platforms. The Utica Shale deposition was more extensive than that of the Point Pleasant and predominantly consists of organic rich shales. Both of these units were deposited in restricted, low energy environments that resulted in a sufficient anoxia to allow for the preservation of the deposited organics.
