1 NEMC Challenges of Managing Water in the Marcellus Play August 5, 2013 December 22, 2011 Nick Inkenhaus Water Resources Engineer
2 Water Requirements for Marcellus Shale Completion typically requires 3-5 million gallons of water Pump rates range from bpm Is that a lot of water? 5 million gallons is 1.8 inches of water over an area of 100 acres, the approximate drainage area of a well PA receives about 40 inches of rainfall per year If the productive area of the Marcellus takes 50 years to drill, annual water use over the productive area would be 0.04 inches of water per year or 1/10 th of 1% of annual rainfall 2
3 Water Requirements for Marcellus Shale Water use per million btu of energy: Deep shale natural gas Marcellus Shale gas avg Nuclear (uranium ready to use in a power plant) Conventional oil Synfuel-coal gasification Coal (delivered power plant) Oil shale Tar sands/oil sands Fuel ethanol from corn Biodiesel from soy gallons 1 gallon 8-14 gallons 8-20 gallons gallons gallons gallons gallons 2,510-29,100 gallons (irrigation) 14,000-75,000 gallons (irrigation) Shale gas production uses less water than any other significant energy source Source: U.S. Dept. of Energy 3

5 Source Requirements Reliability/Seasonality Quality/Compatibility Location/Proximity 5
6 Sources - Municipal 6
7 Sources Surface Water 7
8 Sources Surface Water 8
9 Water supply sources Larger streams, rivers, and reservoirs PA DEP has adopted SRBC method for analyzing water withdrawal and must approve all water management plans Water can be safely withdrawn at reasonable rates all year with exceptions for very dry periods Protection of downstream uses Cumulative impact considerations Reuse is now a significant water source 29.5% of Range s total PA water usage in 2011 was from reuse 29% of Range s total PA water usage in 2012 was from reuse 9

12 Water Transfer 12
13 Water Transfer Minimize Trucking Source water, trucks per well Flowback, ~180 trucks per well Proximity is key Pumping and Pipelines Temporary Integrity Distance Permanent network Link large sources to storage locations Noise Mitigation 13
14 Water Transfer 3 rd Party Engineer Develops Test Pipe rating Component ratings Layout Weather conditions Separate Testing Firm Executes Approximately 8 hours Any failure results in re-test Scheduled 3-7 days prior to frac Procedure/test for each job 14
15 Treatment, Reuse, and Disposal 10-30% of water flows back to surface near-term after completions activities; balance is bound in micro fractures in shale Water flowed back after frac contains salts and other naturally occurring dissolved minerals present in ancient sea water Water is gathered and removed from site by either truck or pipeline Management methods during 2011/2012: Recycle Injection wells Advanced treatment facilities 15

18 Range s Water Recycling Program Rapidly Evolving Technology Recycling technology did not develop in other shale gas plays due to abundant opportunities for disposal by injection into deep rock formations Recycling in the Marcellus play has been driven by lack of other disposal options and regulatory framework Technology will continue to improve rapidly Completions designs Chloride tolerant friction reducers 18
