Mar 2009 - US Congress passes $787 billion stimulus package Sep 2009 - OPEC countries agree to maintain production level at 29 mil b/d Dec 2009 – Lack of investor confidence in the Greek economy Apr 2010 – OPEC ministers leave production levels unchanged. OPEC crude oil spare capacity reached more than 6 million barrels per day May 2010 – Announcement of rescue packages offered by the EU and IMF to Greece May 2010 – US drilling moratorium on offshore oil & gas exploration in waters deeper than 500 feet. Nov 2010 – US Federal Reserve engages in quantitative easing – to add $600 billion to the monetary system Dec 2010 – US Congress announces a two-year extension of all expiring tax cuts and other tax provisions Jan 14, 2011: President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali ousted from Tunisia. Feb 11, 2011: President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt resigns from office.

Future Outlook for World Oil Market Consumption growth to be lead by developing countries, accompanied by continued rebound in demand in OECD countries. Growth in non-OPEC supplies will be limited as production generally outstrips new oil field discoveries in most countries. Growth in OPEC will largely come from development and enhancement of older oil fields. There is few near-term geologic limits, but political factors will limit OPEC supplies. Price outlook is unpredictable. Marginal resource cost outside of OPEC suggest minimum near-term prices in range $60$70/barrel, but S/D factors are overwhelmed by politics and market uncertainties. 17

Williston Bakken Oil Major horizontal oil play; 140 rigs
Activity includes underlying Three Forks Fm. Recovery of 500 mboe per well Production 325 mbo/d and 250 mmcf/d; increasing 100+ mbo/d per year Upper and lower members
Resource estimates range from 4 to 24 billion barrels, including Three Forks at high end. 22
Bakken Shale Oil and Gas Production (annual 2002 to 2010)
23
Barnett Shale Oil Play Oil and associated gas development exists north and west of gas shale play.
Well recovery of 325 mboe. 16 active rigs Well cost $2.8 mm; 9,000 feet.
Crude production of 13,000 bo/d; Substantial increase expected in 2011. Considerable variation in productivity Oil declines very steep in some areas. 24

Gulf Coast Eagle Ford Shale Gas, Condensate and Crude Major gas, condensate and crude shale play; 110 rigs Recovery of 250 to 450 mboe per well. Hydrocarbon windows related to Ro. Crude and condensate production of 16,000 bo/d. Gas 280 mmcf/d. Calcareous, brittle shale Very favorable declines and economics; Well cost $5.5 to $8.5 mm. 27

29
Anadarko Basin Woodford Gas and Condensate Organic shale unit also productive in Eastern OK. Approx. 38 rigs as of December.
Recoveries of up to 8 bcfe per well. Liquids contribute to excellent economics, despite well costs of $7.5 mm. Current gas production approximately 300 mmcf/d.
30
Denver and Powder River Basin Niobrara Oil Chalk, limestone, organic shale; 300-400 mboe per well at 6-9,000 feet. Very large mature oil area Present across Rockies; Historical production in vertical wells in Denver Basin; present in Powder River as well. Fracture and matrix porosity play an important role. 20 rigs running. Horizontal production in early stages
Well costs of $4 mm. 31
What Makes a Liquids-Prone Shale Play Productive? Understanding is still in the early stages. The most successful plays have good organics, thermal history, adequate pressure, porosity, and brittleness.
Faulting may be good or bad. Shales broadly categorized as “siliceous” (silty, i.e. Barnett) or “calcareous” (marls, i.e. Eagle Ford, Haynesville)
The Niobrara is a mixed lithology package, with fractured chalk between organic shales. The Bakken has a permeable unit between organic shales. Future improvements expected in G&G, stimulation design, and for oil plays, solvents and thermal enhanced recovery methods. 32
Conclusions Price ratio favorable to oil versus natural gas likely to remain for next several years, albeit not as severe as now. Pricing of US crudes and NGLs to be set by world S/D factors, but regional aberrations can occur. US oil-directed rigs counts to remain high in key emerging liquids plays. Substantial increases in liquids production expected in nearly all major liquids-prone shale and tight gas Hz plays. Environmental concerns will slow but not stop onshore Hz activity.
Total US oil/NGL production growth to be moderated by slow recovery of deepwater GoM drilling. 33
