2
Murrysville is within the sweet spot of SW PA Marcellus
3
Murrysville Land Coverage Gross:23,578.4 Ac No-Drill Zone:14,433.8 Ac (61%) Drill Zone: 9,144.6 Ac (39%) HHEX Leased 7,828.5 Ac (86%)
4
Gross Recoverable:$2.97 Billion No-Drill Zone Recoverable:$1.83 Billion Drill Zone Recoverable:$1.14 Billion Murrysville – Marcellus Gas Value
5
HHEX alignment of interest with Murrysville for Marcellus development NO Yes
6
HHEX alignment of interest with Murrysville for Marcellus development Minimal Number of Drill Site Pads to Recover Maximum Gas – Long Horizontal Laterals Small Super Single Rig vs Walking Triple Rig Pump Water to Pad Sites vs Trucking Water Use produced gas to fuel drilling process and hydro-fracing process to minimize diesel fuel use Vent-less production systems on producing wells We live here too – each community has its own unique circumstances for considering land uses

Industry Regulations
8
-STRONGER- Statewide Independent Regulation Review State Review of Oil & Natural Gas Environmental Regulation - www.strongerinc.org Develop and share guidelines for state oil and gas environmental regulatory programs through the use of subject matter experts from multi-stakeholder workgroupsguidelines Review volunteer state regulatory programs against the guidelines through the use of multi-stakeholder review teams, and produce consensus reports containing findings and recommendationsreports PA 2013 Review of ACT 13 Received Highest Grades in the United States
9
Best Business Practices Used to Protect Our Water and Our Air Protecting soil and ground water contamination from spills at surface during the well construction phase Protecting the groundwater table while drilling through them and from subsurface produced fluids or frac water contamination through Casing String/Cement Design Why 60 plus years of Hydraulic fracturing has resulted zero fresh water table contaminations via pressure propagation Protection does not stop after facility construction but continues throughout the wells life Air Emissions – Testing results and Impact
10
Locations Utilizing Flat Topography Leave Smaller Legacy Footprints
11
Locations Built on Hill Sides Have a Much Larger Legacy & Noticeable Footprint
12
Spills On or From the Construction Site Highest Risk of Contaminating Soils or Ground Water Table
13
Auger Rig Moves In and Installs Cellar and 24” Conductor Pipe
14
Liner Installed Around Cellar Wall
15
Primary Containment Cellar Receives Polyurethane Seal
16
Secondary Containment Liner Bonded to Cellar
17
The future of wellhead cellars
18
Auger Rig Moves Out Secondary Containment Installation
19
Rolled and Seam Welded Pad Layout Seam Welding
20
Entire Location Construction Site is Now Liner Protected and Spill-Proof
21
Next is Drilling the Vertical Wells and Protecting the Ground Water Table
22
Closed Loop System – Means No Pits on Location to Collect Fluids or Cuttings
23
Vertical Drilling Rig is No Different Than the 100,000 PA Vertical Wells Historically Drilled Except Best in the Nation Casing and Cement Design
24
Fresh Water Table is Behind Four Casing Strings with Cement Outside of Each in Murrysville Area
25
Little Rig Moves Off Site and Location is Prepared for Big Rig to Drill the Horizontal Section
26
Big Rig in industry called a Super Single Low Profile and Easy Mobilization
27
Most of The Industry is Using a Walking Triple High Profile with Week Long Mobilization
28
Closed Loop System Marcellus Cutting not a NORM Concern at Landfill
29
8 Horizontal Wells Do the Work of 32 Vertical Wells – Now to Fracture Stimulate
30
Hydro-Fracing Equipment & Supplies are either Primary or Secondary Contained for 100% Spill Protection
31
Frac Well Head and Valves
32
Fresh Water (<2000 TDS) Storage in Silos not Pits & Piped to location, not Trucked
33
Water Manifold feeding the Frac Equipment 1” of Rain on 2000 acres enough water for Frac
34
Recycled Water is Stored for use in Tanks with Secondary Containment
35
What is in the Frac Fluid? 100% Transparency
36
Fear of Fracing Contaminating the Fresh Water Table is Misunderstood
37
Once the Rock Breaks the Fractures Propagate in Outward Wings (Think Log Splitter)
38
Final Producing Wellhead
39
Final Production Facilities Corridor with Methane Vent-less, Vandal-Proof Equipment
40
24 Hour Real-Time Monitoring & Control 911 Address
41
Emergency Response Safety Setbacks – The Experts Have Provided Guidance – Only need 500’
42
Air Pollution Investigation Cooperation 2011 DEP Results In 2011, 57 operators of unconventional wells and 40 mid- stream operators of 150 compressor stations reported air quality data to the DEP. Natural gas is replacing coal in electric power generation. Since 2008, air emissions across the state are declining in part due to this shift to natural gas. The study found that State wide unconventional gas production and processing did emit 16,542 tons of nitrogen oxides in 2011, however emissions of the same pollutant have fallen 43,000 tons per year. Natural Gas produces 75% less CO2 than Coal in Electric Generation
43
U.S. Energy Information Administration CO 2 Emissions at 27 year low From 1988 to 2015 – U.S. Population Increased from 244M to 320M From 1988 to 2015 – Nat Gas Electric Generation Growth 15% to 36% From 1988 to 2015 – Coal Electric Generation Declined 58% to 35%
44
Your World Class Asset Entrusted to us to Develop Thank You Citizens of Murrysville This is your world class asset and it deserves the best the industry can provide for our safety and our environment in its development Huntley & Huntley
