7 Economic benefits to British Columbia Significant Economic driver and revenue generator for B.C. 12,000 people directly employed in B.C. natural gas sector $1.35 billion 2009/2010 gov t revenues (royalties, land sales) ~60% of total direct revenues from B.C. resource industries 4 per cent of total provincial revenues Has been as high as $2.6 billion 2005/06 (B.C. Natural Gas Strategy) Largest source of natural resource revenue in 2011/2012 fiscal year Impact over next 25 years from natural gas development: By 2035, direct employment could reach 40,000 people Taxes and royalties will exceed $160 billion (CERI 2011) 13 Outlook for Global LNG Trade LNG Trade - Historical Global LNG trade has almost tripled since Increases in global gas consumption will drive growth in LNG trade. Bcf/d LNG is about 7% of all natural gas produced. LNG market will account for an increasing share of global natural gas trade - liquefaction capacity ~ doubles over the next 2 decades Projected Global Natural Gas Consumption Source: EIA 2011 International Energy Outlook

10 Public concerns about shale gas People Health effects of hydraulic fracturing additives. Land Surface footprint. Induced seismicity. Wildlife disruption. Air Air quality during extraction, processing, delivery and end-use. Water Drinking-water contamination migration of methane and fracturing additives. Volumes of water used. Handling and disposal of fluids. GHGs Emissions from production & processing. Responsible Canadian Energy Program Canadian Responsible Energy represents a collective commitment by CAPP s members to: Measure our performance Find new and innovative approaches to reduce our environmental footprint Ensure every worker returns home safely every day Continue to improve the ways in which we communicate and engage the public and other stakeholders

11 Responsible Canadian Energy - water objectives Through the CAPP RCE program, Canada s oil and gas industry works to: Reduce the amount of freshwater required per barrel equivalent of production Safeguard the quality of regional surface and groundwater resources Our safety record: 175,000 wells fractured safely in B.C. and Alberta without an incident of harm to drinking water, according to regulators Robust regulations and industry best operating practices are key to earning our social licence to operate 21 Guiding Principles for Hydraulic Fracturing We will safeguard the quality and quantity of regional surface and groundwater resources, through sound wellbore construction practices, sourcing fresh water alternatives where appropriate, and recycling water for reuse as much as practical. We will measure and disclose our water use with the goal of continuing to reduce our effect on the environment. We will support the development of fracturing fluid additives with the least environmental risks. We will support the disclosure of fracturing fluid additives We will continue to advance, collaborate on and communicate technologies and best practices that reduce the potential environmntal risks of hydraulic fracturing.
