3 Economic Shales Shales that host economic quantities of oil and/or gas have a number of common properties. Rich in organic material Mature petroleum source rocks Brittle and rigid enough to maintain open fractures Intervals with high natural gamma radiation seem to be the most productive Very low porosity and very low permeability Taken in part from IUMI 2011 Drilling Technology - The Emergence of New Risk From A Loss Adjuster's Perspective Slide No. 3
4 Basics of Horizontal Drilling Development of shale formations has resulted from improvements in the following technologies: Drilling equipment Monitoring instrumentation Hydraulic fracturing Recent development of shale formations has contributed to the slowdown and subsequent reversal in the decline in U.S. domestic oil and gas production. But, from the shale drilling allegations of damage to fresh water resources have arisen and so have videos My Water s On Fire Tonight And concerns about earthquakes as in April 2011 in Lancashire County, United Kingdom.

5 Development of U.S. Gas Shale Production o o o o o o Got it s start in the Barnett Shale of north central Texas US shale gas production grew 17 percent per year from 2000 to 2006 By 2006, shale development spread to plays other than Barnett Shale From 2006 to 2010, economic production from shale made possible by horizontal drilling advances hydraulic fracturing advances From 2006 to 2010 U.S. shale gas production grew by an average of 48 percent per year Analysts indicate shale gas production may increase threefold from 2009 to 2035 However, uncertainty does exist regarding technical recoverability.

6 United States Shale Gas Basins IUMI 2011 Drilling Technology - The Emergence of New Risk From A Loss Adjuster's Perspective Slide No. 6
7 United States Natural Gas Production by Source Shale gas provides the largest source of growth in U.S. natural gas supply Natural gas production by source, (trillion cubic feet). Reports indicate that shale gas production may increase threefold over the next 25 years.

13 Other horizontal drilling tactics Locations designed to drill multiple wells in close proximity saves time and money, employing Use of skid-mounted drilling rig systems Use of water-base drilling mud in upper portion of well Use of oil-base drilling mud in horizontal portion of the well IUMI 2011 Drilling Technology - The Emergence of New Risk From A Loss Adjuster's Perspective Slide No. 13
14 Hydraulic fracturing The hydraulic fracturing operation will need large quanties of Water Sand (proppant) Pumping equipment IUMI 2011 Drilling Technology - The Emergence of New Risk From A Loss Adjuster's Perspective Slide No. 14

16 Horizontal well benefits The bottom line Horizontal Drilling and Hydraulic Fracturing these wellbores allows operators to develop a reservoir with a significantly fewer number of wells, and significantly enhance oil and gas recovery as well as return on investment and total return.

17 Claims We Have Seen Ongoing Claims Wellhead failures during hydraulic fracture treatments Casing ruptures during the fracture treatment Poor cement quality behind casing causing crossflow Other Concerns Earthquake claims?
