The Industrial Perspective 6/19/17 8

The Oil Business: 1858-1998 6/19/17 9

The Shale Revolution: 1998 6/19/17 10

What took you so long? Shale reservoirs are ~1 Billion Times worse than conventional reservoirs in terms of permeability and porosity But that’s the secret to why they hold so many hydrocabrons. 6/19/17 11

What Was Old What Was New Fracking since ~1946 1. High oil and gas prices 2. Trial and error 3. One stubborn rich guy… Directional drilling since 1930s… 6/19/17 13

From our assessment, we ? conclude there are above and below ground mechanisms by which hydraulic fracturing activities have the potential to impact drinking water resources…. We did not find evidence that these mechanisms have led to EPA Report widespread, systemic impacts June 2015 on drinking water resources in the United States . 6/19/17 20

There are nuisances and accidents near homes 6/19/17 21

Is oil and gas unique? 6/19/17 22

My careful estimates in early 2015 400,000 new jobs $600 billion in increased U.S. oil and gas revenue to date $2 trillion in increased wealth 2 million landowning families , splitting $50 billion in “bonuses” and earning additional $30 billion per year 6/19/17 26

The Global Perspective 6/19/17 30

We don’t agree on much, but peak oil. 6/19/17 31

The National Perspective 6/19/17 37

There is shale oil and gas in a lot of places… 6/19/17 38

It has transformed only the United States. Why? 6/19/17 39
