3 Geologic features of deposits Cost of equipment Existence and quality of infrastructure Dynamics of changing daily yields in the operating period Economic indicators of mining The fast loss of well output makes it necessary the steady raising of well stock for keeping the deposit s output on the reached level that demands the significant costs Cost of shale gas extraction in USA: $/thous. m 3 University of Pittsburg Structure of costs for shale well of Marcellus formation, USA Balance sheet account Thous.

US$; - Method of water and propane pumping (is used for intensifying inflow (granular aluminum silicates)

7 Thus: 1. USA: sharp growth of shale gas production from 11 (2000) to 252 billion m 3 (2012); Substitution of coal part for gas and increase of its export volumes in EU-countries; Stoppage of condensed natural gas (CNG) import with gradual transfer to its export. Development of «shale revolution» in USA can weaken the positions of Russia in competitive struggle at the gas markets of Europe and Asian-Pacific Region (APR). 2. Europe (without RF): 60% of technically extracted shale gas reserves: Poland and France; Development of production can be restrained by rigid ecological legislation, high population density, the higher costs for deposits development. 3. China: Considerable attention to the problems of shale gas production; Two largest basins with the total geological resources 143 trillion m 3 (20% of the world resources). The possible success of «shale revolution» in China can threaten to the expedience of constructing gas pipelines from Siberia in China and change substantially the modern structure of gas markets in southeast Asia (SEA).

10 Speculative oil costs A certain reduction in the period from 2013 to 2020 Up to After Growth of demands for oil products in the developing countries; islamizing of Middle East countries; reserves quality deterioration $/barrel $/toe retardation of reduction in the rates Smoothing of oil and gas costs ratio $/thous. m $/toe $/thous. m 3

11 Reduction of cost Occurance and fast development of new (more efficient) technologies for extraction of hydrocarbon reserves difficult of access; Production of shale gas and shale oil in the different countries; Increasing share of transport working with alternative types of energy resources (electricity, CNG, LNG, hydrogen); Growth of a share of nontraditional fuel and energy resources; Some growth of a coal share in the overall balance of energy resources, first of all for European countries;... Main factors Increase of cost Evident growth of demands for oil products in China, India and in a majority of developing countries; Reduction of a share of extracted, easily accessible oil; Aggravation of islamic factor in oil-producing countries; $/barrel $/toe Growth of installed capacities of combined cycle plants; Increase of gas share for transport oil/gas $/thous. m $/toe

12 Possible dynamics of costs for oil and gas (upon the average for European countries ) Average cost of oil Average cost of gas Ratio of Years costs $/bur- (oil/gas) rel $/toe $/1000 m 3 $/toe , incl forecast forecast Reduction of costs for gas in European countries: possible difficulties with developing the resources in West-Arctic zone of Russia, difficulties with securing the energy safety of the country. Main reasons: Reduction of investment abilities during realization of large-scale projects for development of pointed gas reserves (complex native-and-climatic conditions, remoteness from the existing gas-transport network) ; Increasing economic risk in assimilation of new regions of gas-extraction in the period up to The actual gas production cost for gas fields in there areas in European countries could be approximately equal to the expected market price or even higher than market price in the same counties. Under such condition the sense of pointed reserves development could be lost from the viewpoint of Russian gas export.
