SPEPennState.org EME.PSU.edu/pnge Oil & Gas Supply Chain Slide 5 Upstream Mainly petroleum engineers. Exploration & production segment of the industry. Relates to searching for and recovering crude oil and/or natural gas from underground fields. Midstream Petroleum, chemical, civil, mechanical (and other types) engineers. Relates to the processing, transportation, and storage of crude oil and natural gas. Downstream All types of engineers. Close connection to consumer-end use of oil and gas – usually operates low-pressure gathering and distribution lines. Energy Finance Ability to analyze and predict future crude oil and natural gas prices. Ability to become energy analyst, trader or scheduler. Common to minor or double major in Energy Business and Finance (EBF) at PSU. Student club for energy marketing – check out PSEMA.org Data Analytics Oil & gas industry is high-tech and uses latest technology in day-to-day operations Includes “Big Data” and machine learning / computer science Encouraged to take classes in statistics, computer science (even minoring, double major, or Master’s) SPEPennState.org EME.PSU.edu/pnge SPE-181651-MS • Impact of Surfactant Mixtures on Microemulsion Phase Behavior • Daulet Magzymov Enhanced Oil Recovery Joint Industry Project Meeting, October 27-28, 2016 at Pennsylvania State University

Disciplines in Petroleum Engineering SPEPennState.org EME.PSU.edu/pnge Slide 6 Drilling Engineering Plan and drill wells both onshore and offshore Reservoir Engineering Design and simulate well locations and processes to optimize hydrocarbon recovery Production Engineering Design surface equipment to maximize recovery Completions Engineering Design procedures and operations to stimulate the reservoir in the most efficient, cost-effective way possible Petrophysical Engineering Evaluation rock physics using well logs and core data Penn State is known for reservoir / production engineering You will get to experience all aspects at Penn State Penn State = well-rounded engineer SPEPennState.org EME.PSU.edu/pnge SPE-181651-MS • Impact of Surfactant Mixtures on Microemulsion Phase Behavior • Daulet Magzymov Enhanced Oil Recovery Joint Industry Project Meeting, October 27-28, 2016 at Pennsylvania State University

SPEPennState.org EME.PSU.edu/pnge Hydraulic Fracturing Slide 7 Fracturing goal is to provide conduit of flow for hydrocarbons to enter the wellbore and travel to the surface Unconventional vs. conventional reservoirs Unconventional – where hydrocarbons are trapped in tight, low perm rocks Conventional – hydrocarbons are found in large areas of high perm/porous rocks Fracturing is not a new technology! It began in the 1940’s. The advent of horizontal drilling + hydraulic fracturing is what caused the US shale boom Slurry of water and sand pumped downhole to shatter shale rock, creating fractures Sand is used to keep fractures “propped” open after injection takes place SPEPennState.org EME.PSU.edu/pnge SPE-181651-MS • Impact of Surfactant Mixtures on Microemulsion Phase Behavior • Daulet Magzymov Enhanced Oil Recovery Joint Industry Project Meeting, October 27-28, 2016 at Pennsylvania State University

Environmental Myths about Natural Gas Development Slide 8 Environmental Myths about Natural Gas Development Hydraulic fractures in the Marcellus Shale reach aquifers and contaminate local water sources. This is not possible from a scientific volume-balance standpoint… Hydraulic fracturing is polluting the United States… There has never been a reported instance of contamination Bad cement jobs could cause contamination, but the industry is improving (this is why we need engineers!) Oil & gas is one of the most heavily regulated industries… Methane is not environmentally-friendly Natural gas is cleaner-burning than coal and oil… Fossil fuels have not improved the quality of life as air pollution is increasing CO2 emissions have actually decreased due to conversion of coal-fired to natural gas fired power plants in part sparked by the shale boom SPEPennState.org EME.PSU.edu/pnge SPE-181651-MS • Impact of Surfactant Mixtures on Microemulsion Phase Behavior • Daulet Magzymov Enhanced Oil Recovery Joint Industry Project Meeting, October 27-28, 2016 at Pennsylvania State University

CO2 Emissions Decreasing… SPEPennState.org EME.PSU.edu/pnge Slide 9 SPEPennState.org EME.PSU.edu/pnge SPE-181651-MS • Impact of Surfactant Mixtures on Microemulsion Phase Behavior • Daulet Magzymov Enhanced Oil Recovery Joint Industry Project Meeting, October 27-28, 2016 at Pennsylvania State University

We will always need fossil fuels… SPEPennState.org EME.PSU.edu/pnge Slide 10 Renewables consumption grows, but fossil fuels consumption is still largest player SPEPennState.org EME.PSU.edu/pnge SPE-181651-MS • Impact of Surfactant Mixtures on Microemulsion Phase Behavior • Daulet Magzymov Enhanced Oil Recovery Joint Industry Project Meeting, October 27-28, 2016 at Pennsylvania State University

PA Natural Gas Production SPEPennState.org EME.PSU.edu/pnge Slide 11 PA is home to the #1 U.S. natural gas producer, entirely driven by the Marcellus/Utica Shale plays State College (PSU) is home to the producer that drilled the longest onshore lateral well in the world Large PSU PNGE Alumni Network are Oil & Gas CEOs/Executives Penn State is home to one of the founding father’s of the Marcellus – Terry Engelder SPEPennState.org EME.PSU.edu/pnge SPE-181651-MS • Impact of Surfactant Mixtures on Microemulsion Phase Behavior • Daulet Magzymov Enhanced Oil Recovery Joint Industry Project Meeting, October 27-28, 2016 at Pennsylvania State University

SPEPennState.org EME.PSU.edu/pnge Some Key Takeaways Slide 12 If the US shale industry were a country, it would rank as the world’s fifth largest hydrocarbon producer! We are not running out of oil and gas. We have ample supplies for generations. Hydrocarbons still supply 85% of the world’s energy (Forbes 2015) Student demand strongly depends on oil as a commodity. Fossil fuel demand is increasing 3% per year worldwide. Student demand for employment is gaining strength and will continue to grow for years to come. You have a great opportunity to earn a job in the petroleum industry if you are good at what you do Join Penn State Petroleum & Natural Gas Engineering if you have an aptitude for the sciences, physics, and mathematics SPEPennState.org EME.PSU.edu/pnge SPE-181651-MS • Impact of Surfactant Mixtures on Microemulsion Phase Behavior • Daulet Magzymov Enhanced Oil Recovery Joint Industry Project Meeting, October 27-28, 2016 at Pennsylvania State University
