Industry Overview- Quick Facts

Oil and gas extraction is a mature, stable market in the United States

Trends include rising global demand from emerging economies, increased crude oil output from offshore drilling, increased natural gas production from new fields, and pressures from regulations and alternative energy growth- GLOBAL EVENTS LIKE ARAB SPRING AND RUSSIAN AGRESSION

New technologies have allowed increased exploration of previously unattainable resources

Developing LNG and GTL Technologies for MAX VALUE

Industry Trends

The oil and gas extraction industry benefits from rising oil and gas prices and strong global demand

We Are Booming

• Biggest Innovation in the 21st Century- Shale Gas and Associated Tight Oil

• U.S. has abundance, legal structures (private mineral ownership) and the political will to continue

• Impacting Global Events- Impacting Europe’s and China’s Manufacturing Competitiveness and Middle Eastern Energy Dominance

The Unconventional O&G RevolutionHydraulic Fracking 1947-2014

• Around Since 1947 and in Texas Since 1980s

• George Mitchell, Jack Stanley and others in Tight Sands and Horizontal Drilling

• The Current Boom Started in 2008 and Shale Gas now 44% of Domestic Production and Tight Oil is Up 56% Surpassing 8 of the OPEC 12 Countries

Shale’s Global Impact-There’s a New Sherriff in Town Europe to China; Russia and Norway

• Cheap U.S. Domestic Gas and Lack of Demand has Sent Nat Gas to Global Markets (Europe; Japan; India others)

• But U.S. Utilities and Manufacturing Converting and Operators Continuing to Drill- Prices Predicted NOT TO RISE and JOBS RETURNING ONSHORE

8

Shale’s Future Impact-North South AxisCanada, U.S., Mexico and Beyond

• Arab Capitals Quake that East-West Tie is Broken

• Reducing U.S. and Hemispheric Dependency through Increased Production, Transportation- Keystone and More Fuel Efficiency

• Next Revolution is in the Politics of Energy- North and South

The Gretzky EffectSkate to Where the Puck is Going to Be

• Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)- Domestic and Global Export

• Gas To Liquids (GTL)- Increasing the Value of Nat Gas by Rescuing Stranded Resource and Helping the Environment

Thirsty for oil, energy companies wasting less valuable byproduct: natural gas- 8/23/14Amid pipeline shortage in rural South Texas, wells flaring natural gas directly into the air

The Shameless PlugEnergy Safety

• Better Knowledge Better Discipline in Energy Safety Both On and Offshore

• Predict, Avoid and Better Manage Risk

• Providing World-Class Support for Mishap Prevention (based around NASA Safety Systems)
