FRAC WATER DISPOSAL / RECYCLING

PROCESSES FOR UNCONVENTIAL SHALE GAS

WASTE WATER

by Tom Lewis III


CURRENT STATUS… • SERVICE ORGANIZATION, INCORPORATED IN JANUARY 1991 • COMPANY HAS TWO PATENTS - HEAVY METALS REMOVAL AND CYANIDE DESTRUCTION TECHNOLOGIES • PATENT PENDING SHALE GAS WATER RECYCLING PROCESS

CORPORATE CAPIBILITIES • OEM – CORE TECHNOLOGY: PATENTED GAC PROCESS • WATER AND SOIL REMEDIATION CAPABILITIES • SYSTEM ENGINEERING AND CAD DESIGN

y g "Fracking” :injecting water, sand and special chemicals UNDER HIGH PRESSURE into the shale layer separates the pores in the rock sand particles "hold" the cracks open RELEASES NATURAL gas FLOWBACK: 35% - 40% OF INJECTED WATER IS RECVERD FROM THE WELL. NASTY STUFF: fluids CAN qualify as hazardous material TOXIC LEVELS OF carcinoge

Hydraulic Fracturing… • FRACING” - INJECTING WATER, SAND AND CHEMICALS UNDER HIGH PRESSURE INTO THE SHALE FORMATION. • SEPARATES THE PORES IN THE ROCK , SAND "HOLD" THE CRACKS OPEN – RELEASES GAS FLOWBACK: 20% - 25% OF INJECTED WATER IS RECOVERED FROM THE WELL. • NASTY STUFF: THERE’S AS MUCH AS TWO POUNDS OF SALT IN A GALLON OF FRAC WATER.

WATER IS PLENTIFUL. 2ND LARGEST WATER WAYS

DISPOSAL OPTIONS

10,000 DISPOSAL WELLS

8 DISPSOAL WELLS AND 6 TREATMENT PLANTS

FLOWBACK% 60% - 70% FLOWBACK INITIAL STAGES

20% - 25% FLOWBACK IN INITIAL STAGE

ORGANICS LEVELS

LOW % IN FRAC WATER

VERY WET GAS WITH HIGHER SOLUBLE ORGANICS

TWO BIGGEST DIFFERENCES IN THE PLAYS… 1 - LIMITED DEEP WELL INJECTION OPTIONS AND 2 - HIGHER ORGANICS AND TDS CONCENTRATIONS

FRAC AND PRODUCED WATERS ARE TRANSPORTED TO VARIOUS TREATMENT AND MUNICIPAL FACILITIES. BASED ON NEW DEP REGULATIONS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN IN 2011, THERE ARE NO FACILITIES CURRENTLY IN OPERATION WHICH CAN MEET THE NEW DISCHARGE LIMITS. THERE IS A “REAL” NEED FOR PROCESSING CAPACITIY.

MARKET SIZE… • HUGE MARKET – 10,000 WELLS IN THE NEXT 5 YEARS • PROJECTED WATER USAGE - 28,000,000 GALLONS PER DAY (5,000 TRUCKLOADS/DAY) • DISPOSAL VOLUME – 1.85 BILLION GALLONS PER YEAR • NATURAL GAS REVENUES TO PA - $1.2 TRILLION • THE ISSUES WITH WATER USAGE AND DISPOSAL MUST BE ADDRESSED IF THE STATE IS THE REALIZE THESE REVENUES.
