Development Opportunities in The Eagle Ford Shale Region Increased demand of temporary or permanent

housing Hotels Apartment complexes Recreational vehicle (RV) parks Subdivisions within the Eagle Ford Shale: Las

Colinas Development by Silverback Homes

A report by the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2012 forecasts 24 percent increase in population in the Eagle Ford region over the next 15 years.

Improvements and expansions are needed to accommodate influx of new residents, including housing stock.

OIL AND GAS COMPANIES LOOK TO HIRE MORE LOCAL TALENT; WE NEED

TO TRAIN AND EDUCATE OUR FUTURE WORKFORCE IN SOUTH TEXAS.


Education opportunities in The Eagle Ford Shale Region • Palo Alto College (San Antonio) developed a unique program

called the Eagle Ford Boot Camp, geared solely toward preparing our workforce to capitalize on the human resource needs in the oil and gas industry.

• Colleges and universities offering various training services and degrees that will develop and produce oil & gas professionals in South Texas. – Laredo Community College: degrees and certifications in

electrical technology, diesel engine mechanics, and an oil & gas industry specialization

– Del Mar College in Corpus Christi: industry training in AutoCad, Electrical, Hazmat, Industrial & Technical Math, Mechanical, Plumbing, Safety, Surveying, and Transportation

12


Education opportunities continued

– Coastal Bend College: residents of Beeville, Pleasanton, Alice and Kingsville various petroleum industry training courses that span from CDL certification to oil spill response

– Victoria College offers associate degrees and technical certifications in business and welding

– Southwest Texas Junior College in Uvalde offers associate degrees and technical certifications in diesel technology, welding, and more

– Other colleges include Sul Ross Rio Grande College and Texas A&M International University in Laredo

STEER Impacts through Collaboration • Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG)

Clean Air Study • Roads: TxDOT/DPS/STEER • UTSA Economic Impact Study • San Antonio River Authority (SARA) on Eagle Ford

Shale Handbook • Texas Parks & Wildlife • Taking Care of Texas

17

“Taking Care of Texas is about building on existing conservation efforts. We want Texas to be a leader in meeting the nation’s energy needs while conserving soil and habitat and boosting the economy in South Texas. ” - Laura Bush, Taking Care of Texas


Seven Layers of Protection

18

“These extraordinary technological achievements enable operators to maximize returns from each well, which in turn means higher royalty payments to mineral owners, and higher tax revenues for local and state taxing authorities.”

- Horizontal Drilling: A Technological Marvel Ignored, Forbes, 1/28/2013


Hydraulic Fracturing & Horizontal Drilling

19

• A proven technology that has been used for more than 60 years to safely enhance the production potential of oil and natural gas from more than1 million wells in the United States.


Reducing Surface Footprint

20


Flaring Facts

21

• Flaring is the controlled, necessary and safe burning of natural gas; safely combusts gas that cannot otherwise be transported efficiently

• Our work to reduce flaring in the Eagle Ford provides economic and environmental benefits.

• Flaring is necessary: – During well production testing – For safety reasons – When there is a lack of pipeline infrastructure

• Efficient pipeline infrastructure offers advantages by reducing the need to flare. – In 2013, Texas had 374,318 miles of pipeline and

that number continues to increase


TCEQ: San Antonio Summary The study was conducted by Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG) contract by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).

• Although San Antonio ozone has decreased over time, there has been a

recent increase in ozone from 74 ppb in 2009 to 81 ppb. Preliminary 2014 design value is decreased to 78 ppb as of 9/8/2014.

• The highest ozone is measured northwest of downtown San Antonio when winds are from the north, northeast, east, southeast, and south. EFS activities are primarily to the south and southeast as is the predominant wind direction during the ozone season.

• A 2013 analysis of the monitoring data from the site generally upwind of San Antonio and downwind of the EFS indicated that ozone levels as well as NOx levels coming into the SA area have generally have not been any higher during the EFS development.

• An update to this evaluation is ongoing using updated data. *Information via TCEQ and AACOG.org.

22


Water conservation Operations and water management practices are continually evolving and have changed substantially over the last two years. • Most of the larger oil and gas companies have some level of recycling

and/or brackish water sourcing.

• Companies are dramatically lowing the amount of water needed in operations

• Companies in the EFS are increasingly using more non-fresh water sources – Brackish groundwater use is on the rise. – Industrial or municipal wastewater: Although difficult to employ in

multi-well pad, companies will make use of municipal grey water in some one-off wells.

• Transportation infrastructure for water (roads and pipelines) are the key to better water management solutions. More networks of pipelines to move water have been installed or are being planned to reduce truck traffic and move water effectively.

23


Safety in the Eagle Ford Shale The safety of those working and living within the Eagle Ford Shale region is a top priority for STEER and its members. • STEER members have programs that

encourage a healthy work environment • Focus on reduction of work-related injuries • Safety in Operations

– Protecting groundwater – Cementing

• Road safety – Working with government officials and entities to

repair roads – Member companies have rules in place to

encourage safe driving by employees 24
