Frac water handling Unique geology, geography, and producer practice in each region Source: GE Water unconventional gas team Water processing options selected examples 1. Fresh water => Inject Frac => Disposal well 2. Fresh water => Limited Pretreat TSS=> Inject Fresh/Frac Blend => Disposal well 3. Fresh water => Pretreat MB/TSS/Metals => Inject Fresh/Frac Blend => Disposal well 4. Fresh water => Pretreat => TDS Evaporator => Inject Fresh/Fresh blend => Salt disposal/sale 7,000- 12,000 ft Frac Water Frac water pond Fresh Water Central Plants - Pretreatment - TDS Evaporator - Crystallizers / Salt Mobile Plants - MB Reduction - TSS Filtration - TDS Evaporator Reuse of diluted high TDS water Frac water disposal well Truck/pipe for deep injection or Municipal water treatment - Limited treatment before disposal or transfer High Volume, Low TDS Low Volume, High TDS Time Advantages Low cost … potential liability Reduced fresh water Reduces chemical treatment need Recycle fresh water; Cleanest option Ground Water well Frac water flow back profile TDS: Total dissolved solids – salinity etc TSS: Total suspended solids – larger particles. MB: Micro biological Pretreatment can include TSS/ MB/ Metals/ NORM filtration Industry trending toward field water processing of early volumes Centralized processing for recycle and or pipeline-rail- trucking for injection disposal Industry will look for a variety of solutions 30 days 90 days

12 GE Water & Process Technologies Confidential August 2010 determine design basis The specific objectives of the Marcellus test program involved four areas: 1. Develop process design basis 2. Evaluate feed pretreatment requirements 3. Identify optimum evaporator design parameters o Maximum concentration factor (CF) o Boiling point rise (BPR) o Tendencies for foaming, fouling, scaling o Distillate composition 4. Evaluate Crystallizer Designs & Performance o Boiling point rise (BPR) o Foaming, fouling o Salt purification / separation
