1 PAPG Meeting Radisson - Green Tree 21 January 2010 The Marcellus Gas Play its history, geologic characteristics and its future potential as a world class reservoir. presented by William Zagorski Range Resources, VP Geology, Marcellus Shale Division Abstract: The Middle Devonian Age Marcellus Shale play has become one of the major shale gas targets in North America with the potential to rival or exceed other established shale plays in terms of production rates, economic potential and total extent. The Middle Devonian Marcellus Shale is one of the largest shale plays in North America with a potentially prospective area of approximately 114,000 square km (44,000 square miles). Based on industry drilling trends and reported test rates, two major core areas have emerged, each with its unique combination of controlling geologic factors. Reserve potential in the play is enormous, with modern estimates ranging from 50 Tcf to over 500 Tcf, defining the Marcellus as a major world class hydrocarbon accumulation. Key geologic and technical factors defining the Marcellus play are similar to other shale gas plays and include thermal maturity, reservoir pressure, pay thickness, porosity, permeability, gas in place, the role of natural fracturing, mineralogy, depth, structural style, target landing issues and the ability to be fractured. Classification of structural setting and style are critical for the identification of natural fracture trends and potential geologic hazards which include faulting and fracturing in structurally complex areas. Since 2004, coinciding with the initial Marcellus discovery in Washington County, Pennsylvania, over 3500 Marcellus wells have either been permitted or drilled through October 2009 in the Appalachian Basin. Reported initial production rates for vertical wells range from Mmcfpd to over 6.0 Mmcfpd and from Mmcfpd to over Mmcfpd for horizontal completions. While the play is still in its infancy, reported production rates and reserves compare very favorably to other established North American shale plays. Biography: William (Bill) Zagorski has over 29 years exploration experience in various unconventional tight sandstone, shale gas and coal bed methane plays in the Appalachian, Michigan, Illinois and Uintah Basins. He earned his bachelor s and a master s of science degrees in geology from the University of Pittsburgh in 1980 and 1992, respectively. He is currently vice president of geology for Range Resources Corporation s Marcellus Shale Division located in Southpointe, PA. Bill also served as exploration manager with Mark Resources Corporation ( ) and chief geologist with Atlas Energy Group ( ) where he was responsible for the delineation of various Medina Sandstone, Devonian Shale and Upper Devonian tight gas sandstone projects in the Appalachian Basin and properties located in the Bluebell Altamont Field in Utah and the Lirette Field in Louisiana. Bill started with Range Resources Corporation in 1993 where he took a lead role in the identification and execution of numerous shallow tight sandstone drilling programs in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New York. Bill and his team were also heavily involved in various exploration activities in the Huntersville Chert, Oriskany Sandstone, Trenton - Black River, and Knox Unconformity plays.

2 In 2004 Bill and members of his group indentified the Marcellus shale concept for Range Resources which led to the Renz Unit #1 Marcellus shale discovery. This was quickly followed by a period of prospect identification, trend delineation and acreage acquisition. Bill accepted his current role as vice president of geology at Range s Southpointe, PA office in early WHAT IS THE PAPG? In 2008, the Pittsburgh Association of Petroleum Geologists (PAPG) awarded Bill with the title Father of the Marcellus Shale in recognition of his role in the early initiation and development of production for modern era of the Marcellus shale play. For reservations to this informative and entertaining evening, please see the attached reservation form or pay in advance using PayPal by visiting PAPGrocks.org. PAPG is a non-profit organization founded in 1984 to provide a forum for Petroleum Geologists in the Pittsburgh Area to meet socially and discuss technical topics relative to the exploration and development of reserves in the Northern and Central Appalachian Basin. PAPG is an affiliated association with AAPG (American Association of Petroleum Geologists) and has representation in the House of Delegates. Educational opportunities are provided via field trips, seminars and AAPG Sectional meetings, sponsored solely by PAPG or in conjunction with the PTTC (Petroleum Technology Transfer Council), PGS (Pittsburgh Geologic Society) and SPE (Society of Petroleum Engineers). Although PAPG is predominately a geologic organization, numerous industry professionals including geophysicists, engineers, lawyers and landmen are among PAPG s members and find the interaction at meetings and educational opportunities beneficial to their professions. PAPG also encourages student membership and participation. Meetings are typically held monthly from September through May in locations within 50 miles of downtown Pittsburgh. From time to time, meetings are held in conjunction with SPE and PGS.

4 AIG 2010 AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN EARTH SCIENCE TEACHING AGI ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR 2010 AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN EARTH SCIENCE TEACHING Contact: Geoff Camphire Alexandria, VA Does someone you know teach earth science to students between kindergarten and eighth grade? Do they excel in their teaching through leadership and innovation, bringing new ideas and approaches to teaching about our planet? If so, they may be eligible for the Edward C. Roy Award for Excellence in K-8 Earth Science Teaching. Given annually, this award recognizes one classroom teacher nationwide for his or her leadership and innovation in earth science education. The winner will receive a prize of $2,500 and an additional grant of $1,000 to enable the recipient to attend the 2010 National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) Annual Conference. To be eligible for this year s competition, applications must be postmarked by February 1, Please note that this deadline is earlier than in 2009, so start preparing your application packet today. The award is named in honor of Dr. Edward C. Roy, Jr., who was a strong and dedicated supporter of earth science education. He served as President of AGI, chaired the AGI Education Advisory Committee, and received both the Ian Campbell Medal and the Heroy Distinguished Service award. In addition, he served as the Gertrude and Walter Pyron Distinguished Professor of Geology at Trinity University, as Dean of the Division of Sciences, Mathematics, and Engineering, and as Vice President for Academic Affairs. Roy was also appointed Chair of the Texas Earth Science Task Force by the Commissioner of the Texas Education Agency.
