Caught flat-footed

BY WO J C I E C H KO S C

The effort to produce gas from shale is waiting for somebody to find a sweet spot. Before this happens, the public needs better in-formation about whats going on. We aim to play our part.

OPINION

I WAS IN SOUTHERN Poland in late August, reporting on anti-shale protesters. Coinciden-tally, Reuters released a bit of news at the time, announcing that Lane Energy/ConocoPhillips elsewhere in Poland managed to flow gas from shales at a rate of 8,500 cubic meters per day, unaided. For this reason, I had the opportunity to see how anti-shale gas protesters in urawlw reacted to the news of gas actually flowing in a north Poland county.When the Lane Energy news got through to

the protesters, via a TV news crew that showed up to get their comments, their reaction was quite diplomatic. Calmly, a woman

named Ma gorzat a Jaboska, explained that if everyone up north is okay with shale gas, it should be extracted.The people f rom

urawlw, who are some-times portrayed in the media as a hostile opposi-tion, arent necessarily against shale gas. They acknowledge that it may be a possible answer to Polands energy woes. However, based on the

conversations I had there, I have come to think most

believe that no exploration should take place without operators full cooperation with their local communities. On this front, the urawlw

people feel slighted (see feature story, p. 16). When the shale gas fever gripped the Marcellus play in the northeast US, the industry was also facing the challenge of winning the publics ac-ceptance. We were caught flat-footed over how to ad-

dress residents most basic questions. Add in a few early accidents and the fast pace at which this industry operates and we, as an industry, found ourselves playing catch-up and digging out of a hole, said Kathryn Z. Klaber, former CEO of the Marcellus Shale Coalition, an indus-try organization that has succeeded in engaging local communities (see interview, p. 22 and Ms. Klabers commentary on p. 72).Shale gas production will not take off in Po-

land until regulatory foundations have been established and a public engagement effort has been rolled out from ebie to urawlw. To that end, Cleantech Poland has founded

the Poland Shale Coalition (Fundacja Polska Koalicja upkowa), an organization open to anybody. Partly through the Shale Gas Investment

Guide, and partly through organized outreach in the countryside, Cleantech Poland will sup-port this effort - getting the facts out to the public. Please read my interview with Oisin Fanning, chairman of San Leon Energy and founding member of PSC, on page 20.It might seem that establishing a coalition

before any production has actually taken place is putting the cart before the horse. Three years into development, if theres no gas, then why bother winning public acceptance? We think different. Now is the time to reach out.

As founder of Poland Shale

Coalition, we will support an

enormous effort - informing the

Polish public about the risks and benefits of

unconventional gas

Dear Colleague,

Heres a little history.

In 2011, equity investors in New York and London were throwing money at Polish shale. Soros, Blackstone, Fidelity (and a bunch of high net worth indi-viduals) took out large positions in the independents operating exploratory acreage in Poland. Today, long after the bubble burst, many of those indepen-dents are trading at or above cash.

Power is shifting away from foreign-owned operators to the national oil com-panies. One foreign industry participant, at a presentation led by the chief geologist Piotr Woniak, saw a slide with a chart of the concessions the Polish government is likely to reclaim in the coming years. Equity investors, once red hot about Poland, are talking enthusiastically about tight gas in Ukraine and Romania or have simply moved on.

Where do we go from here? We go forward, and we go together. Thats why Cleantech Poland has founded the Poland Shale Coalition. You dont start a coalition when things are going well. You start a coalition when everyone has written off the future of what may one day be a dynamic, thriving industry.

The PSC is organized as a foundation, and is open to anyone. Including you.

Come join us.

Between environmental concerns, large financial expenditure needs, political risk and legislative instability, companies are finding it hard to engage in massive unconventional exploration programs.The European Commission is working on a report concerning hydraulic fracturing and its environmental impact, expected in the third quarter of this year. Some coun-tries still have moratoria imposed (FR, BG, CZ, LX), while others are either waiting for special reports (IE, NL) or have re-gional bans (North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany, Cantabria in Spain). Italy and Finland are not interested in exploring shale, while Austria and Denmark im-posed such strict environmental regula-tions that made operating there practi-cally impossible. Germany will wait on legislative initiatives until the fall elections, also putting a halt on exploration activities. Real development is only taking place in Poland with 48 wells drilled to date and the UK, where the recent BGS and DECC report, The Carboniferous Bowland Shale Gas Study estimates that there are as many as 23.3 - 64.6 tcm of resource in place.

The price discrepancy be-tween US and EU gas remains very high. For the price of one MWh of cheap US gas, we would only get a third of that in Europe.

The spread between WTI and Brent has narrowed as demand for US domestic oil increased over the last quarter. The EIA reports that recently improved pipeline networks and crude-by-rail links facilitated direct delivery from production areas to refining centers, which helped move the shale-related oil glut.

ANALYST ' S V I EW

A separate issue is how Poland could use the potentially large amounts of gas from shale into use.Gas-based power has only been coming

online quite recently in Poland (mostly within the last decade) and, to date, less than 10 percent of the power in Poland is generated from natural gas. There are plans, however, to increase the

use of the resource are already written into the countrys energy strategy. As many as 18 new gas-fired power plants are under-going permitting procedures or are under construction now.Currently there is 934 MWe (electric)

of installed gas-fired power capacity, pri-marily owned by Polands gas utility PG-NiG. Before these new capacity goes on-line, economics of generating energy from gas will have to be looked into. The biggest obstacle with using gas as a nominal power source is its price (see chart on top of this page). With planned new power and the need

to liberalize the gas market, much invest-ment will be needed in Polands gas trans-mission and distribution systems. Gaz-System, the countrys gas transmission system operator, has planned for the con-struction of 1,000 kilometers of new transmission pipelines between 2014 and 2018, at a cost of roughly PLN 5 billion (USD 1.6 billion), as well as looking into building infrastructure to connect with Slovaka and the Czech Republic. Gaz-System is also completing its

winoujcie LNG terminal project by the Baltic sea. While the investment is said to cost approximately 2.7 billion PLN, there exists little doubt that it is necessary. Upon completion, the terminal will be able to supply 5 billion m3 of gas per year with a possible increase to 7.5 billion m3 in the future. That would mean annual gas con-sumptions increase by 50 percent.


A planned September vote on whether to include shale gas frack-ing in an update of the EU Environ-mental Impact Assessment Directive (EIA Directive) was postponed to a later ses-sion. However, a draft of the proposed directive was made public, which allows us to make a preliminary assessment of its impact on unconventional oil and gas.

In short, the amended EIA Directives aim is to update the current legislation relating to environmental impact assess-ments by improving the procedures and verifications related to EIA reporting. The EIA Directive also seeks to include partici-pation and public consultations in the proceedings and make obligatory an EIA for all activity related to exploration, evaluation and production of shale gas.

The proposed EIA Directive recognizes that the current procedure is too compli-cated and time-consuming. Therefore the draft introduces new mechanisms on how the EIA reports should written and verified. The experts who check the environmental reports shall have, based on their qualifica-tions and experience, the necessary tech-nical expertise to carry out the verification in a scientifically objective manner and in total independence from the operator and competent authorities.

The proposal seeks to strengthen the role of the public at all stages of the proce-dure by making the public aware of proj-ects to be undertaken. Members of the public would be entitled to institute a legal challenge, including applying for an injunc-tion, by initiating legal proceedings within three months after the competent author-

ity announces a formal decision. As a consequence, projects shall not com-mence until a certain time passes for public comment.

The EIA Directive in its draft form would have a significant impact on shale gas ac-tivities. To justify the additional burden placed upon operators, the draft und lines that the current provisions do not take account of how much unconventional oil and gas is being produced. This means that despite their environmental impact, the

EXPERT OPINION

Should this directive be enacted in its proposed form, the Polish legislation

would have to be amended to ensure it is compliant with EU law.


ADVERTORIAL

relevant projects are not subject to man-datory EIA because they fall under the current thresholds for public comment. In accordance with the precautionary principle, and as requested by Parliament in its resolution of 21 November 2012, the draft proposes that unconventional oil and gas projects be systematically made sub-ject to an EIA, regardless of the quantity produced. Exploration, evaluation and

production of shale gas would be listed in Annex I (ie, subject to a mandatory EIA Directive).

With respect to environmental provisions in Poland, this draft direc-tive is much more rigorous when it comes to mitigating environmental impact through procedures around EIAs. It is worth mentioning that the Polish EIA provisions have been mod-ified recently to exclude exploration and production of onshore oil and gas

from the obligatory EIA procedure (except from specific cases such as shale wells that go deeper than 5,000 meters or those that are drilled on environmentally sensitive locations). Should this directive be enacted in

the proposed form, than the Polish legislation would have to be amended to ensure its compliant with EU law.

A proposed draft law of a forthcoming EIA directive related to environmental impact assessments may impose restrictions on shale gas exploration.

Chevron put on hold their plans to drill a well on the Grabowiec concession. Protesters, camping out 24/7, are live-blogging their opposition from a hayfield. Whats the fuss all about?

driven to the site, had to leave on flatbeds. After the standoff, the urawlw people decided to go on a 24/7 watch to protect their land, they say.

INTERNET & HAY BALESMr. Bk shows me around the campsite. Its spare in terms of amenities, and water has to be carried in bottles. The protesters sleep on hale bales (Theyre super hard, one protester joked). The tent is about five meters by ten meters in size.But its more than just pitchforks

these protesters are using as weapons of engagement. Just outside the tent, an internet-connected camera broadcasts video on a blog set up on tumblr.com. At a small table, Mr. Bk is busy uploading the most recent pictures.On the blog, there are updates posted

on a regular basis, including a letter of support from an outspoken anti-fracking activist and member of the European Parliament, Jose Bove. Articles about anti-shale gas activism across the world can be found alongside links to articles that highlight what protesters say are the environmental dangers of hydraulic fracturing.

WHOS IN THAT CAR? Quickly, take down his license plate number! I can hear someone shout from a makeshift campsite in the rural landscape of urawlw, in south east Poland. It was only a stranger, and he seemed

to care little about shale gas exploration. But even the sight of an unexpected visitor kept a dozen or so campaigners on high alert. Theyve learned that strangers mean trouble. Ive arrived in southeastern Poland

to talk to a group calling themselves Occupy Chevron who have been preventing the US oil and gas major f rom enter ing the Grabowiec concession. Security guards, employed by Chevron, are camping next to the site. The two sides are watching one another.According to the urawlw

objectors, a few months ago, locals were caught flat-footed when Chevron arrived to the concession to start operations. Our kids were on their way to school and alerted us. Phone call followed phone call and soon the entire village was here, said Magorzata Jaboska, a urawlw villager and the wife of Emil, the local administrator, or sotys.After a standoff that lasted several

hours, Chevron left the site. According to protesters, the company had no other

choice, being unable to produce documentation that gave them permission to enter the site, such as a land reclamation plan or a permit to transport equipment on a road with a

load bearing capacity no greater than 5 tonnes. We asked them about the

reclamation plan and other documents, one by one, and they had none, said Andrzej Bk, a power engineer who handles documentation of the protest and communication with officials. He notes that the equipment that was

more expensive than conventional!, reads another. Can fracking contaminate drinking water? Still another: Solidarity with the Balcombe protesters!Balcombe is an English village where

a UK operator, Cuadrilla Resources, has faced organized protests from anti-fracking activists. Much like in Poland, the UK government has voiced strong support for companies efforts to prove up UK shale gas potential, considered to be the largest in Europe. As in Poland, production of shale gas is seen as an important way to address energy demand while reducing dependence on imports.

IGNORED, OFFENDEDAt the protest site in urawlw, Emil Jaboski, the local sotys (village administrator), tells me that the protest isnt against shale gas as such. If we could have talked to Chevron and engaged with them, it may be different now. But we didnt like being treated as nobodies. We didnt like being ignored, he said.Mr. Jaboski is referring in part to

a January 2012 meeting that was supposed to be a discussion about Chevrons plans for the Grabowiec concession, but quickly disintegrated, as Chevron representatives walked out.

No one went home happy. I understand that shale gas could be a very good thing for Poland and I say let companies drill where people dont mind it, Mr. Jaboski said in reaction to the news about unaided gas flow from the ebie well, operated by ConocoPhillips and Lane Energy. But we dont need industry here

because were farmers working on Polands best soil, he said. Look at an agricultural map of

Poland and youll find the area is rich

in chernozem soils, with a high humus content, resulting in high fertility and big agricultural yields. urawlw sits in this particularly fertile belt.Nearly all of the protesters are

farmers, operating on tens of hectares of land. The size of their farms is above the Polish average, as Poland is a country dominated by small farms often less than a few hectares. Mr. Jaboski, for example, grows rapeseed, beetroots and wheat on 50 hectares.Today, the urawlw protests are in

Andrzej Bak working at his computer at the protest site. A few weeks after this photo was taken, a local daily reported that Chevron didnt have a valid concession for drilling in urawlw. Chevron wasnt available for comment on this particular development at the time of press.

Not gonna give up; will Chevron?

their fourth month. When prompted to state what they want as an outcome, they say their goal is to get Chevrons Grabowiec concession canceled (and the companys other concessions: Zwierzyniec, Frampol, and Kranik) on the grounds that exploration poses a risk to drinking water, which is protected by domestic and international law. The protesters also claim that certain

boundaries on licenses held by Chevron werent correctly marked off prior to commencing operations, and that the US company doesnt have a valid permit for storing waste in rock mass. Lastly, they allege that someones water was contaminated following Chevrons seismic works on a different location in the Grabowiec concession.

DEVELOPMENTS ONThe ministry of environment has said

these allegations are incorrect. In a written reply to the protesters from June 2013, the ministry said that drilling and other mining works dont impact water reservoirs that are typically 100 to 150 meters deep while shale rock formations are several thousand meters deeper. Exploratory drilling for shale gas is a routine operation, and the technology was

developed many years ago, the ministry wrote to the protesters.The ministry also said that no

drinking water on the Grabowiec concession showed any contamination due to seismic projects. As for determining whether they had legal access to enter the land, the matter belongs to local authorities, the ministry said. Were not giving up on the issue, Mr. Bk said, as he looked at the ministrys document on his computer. Neither is Chevron giving up on

their Polish plans. Referring to whats going on in urawlw, Chevrons spokeswoman Grayna Bukowska, wrote that the protesters are a minority group in a society thats otherwise very supportive of shale gas development.We believe the views expressed by

a minority of opponents dont reflect the opinions of the broader community. According to the latest CBOS survey from June 2013, 78 percent of Poles support [shale gas], five percent more than in August 2011. Our experiences with other communities in which we are operating have been positive, Ms. Bukowska wrote in an e-mail to the SGIG.Ms. Bukowska declined to answer

specific questions, like whether the

company did or did not have valid documents to enter the urawlw site in June. All concessions are valid, Ms. Bukowska said.In an interview with Rzeczpospolita,

a Polish daily, Chevrons country manager John Claussen reiterated the companys longstanding interest in Polish shale gas. We take a regional view, as were

operating in Lithuania and Romania as well, but Poland is the most important for us, Mr. Claussen said.Currently, we finished drilling our

fourth exploration well. The fact that we are working in a safe and responsible manner was confirmed by the results of checks from authorized agencies. We were controlled by the Supreme Control Chamber, which confirmed that it has no objections to our work. We were controlled by the District Mining Office six times. We also received positive fe edback f rom the Reg iona l Inspec torate of Environment Protection, Ms. Bukowska wrote.In urawlw, the protesters say they

have found a new angle to pursue to get rid of Chevron. Were going to cha l lenge the va l idity of the concessions, as granted without tenders, which is against the EU regulations, Mr. Bk said.

The Polish shales are simply difficult for E&P. On the other hand, there have been much bigger problems that the oil and gas people have

managed to solveProfessor Jerzy

Nawrocki

What was your reason for becoming a founding member of Poland Shale Coalition (PSC)?Polands no different to any other po-

tential shale gas market. Anything that is going to promote shale gas here is absolutely worth doing. I think that the Poland Shale Coalition needs to push the shale gas agenda within Poland and also abroad. We need to work to change the environment were working in as opera-tors. Theres a problem with the pace at which the development is happening, changes of the regulatory regime plus political aspects that confuse interna-tional markets.

Theres been some bad press about how Poland has been handling its shale gas effort plus some controver-

sies about operators approach to local communities. To address these, dont we need an organization to advocate and educate? I dont much think that community

outreach is key, however, because the communities Ive worked with had no issues with shale gas and with us spe-cifically. But let me give you an example of a community approach we prefer. When we were starting our seismic cam-paign we went down on the ground and signed five thousand two hundred con-tracts with local farmers to access their land. Not only did it give us and them strong footing for our work, but we got to know them. When we showed up with equipment, they knew who we were, and what we planned to do. No one batted an eyelid when we came. You cannot

operate in any country without ap-proval of the local people. You might call that public relations but I call that com-mon sense. Whats more, they told us that they learned more from us about shale gas than from the government.

San Leon was optimistic about pres-sure tests done in wells in Siciny. Lane Energy flowed gas from the ebien well. Does that mean Polish uncon-ventional gas is awakening from the lull that lasted 12 months?Im optimistic as ever about Polish

unconventional gas. Lane Energy did flow gas unaided and that means no less than the gas is there. I dont care about the flow rate now. The gas is there. Its a very good result for Lane and for the entire shale gas industry in Poland.

Thats all well and good, but with such an unimpressive number of wells drilled to date, Polands still not in position to look forward to commer-cial production, is it?Poland needs to improve on couple

issues, and one of them is that it needs to speed up the drilling rate. In America, the number of wells in any given play was 65 on average a month. In Poland, we dont even have that many wells in the entire Baltic Basin.

Why has the drilling been going on so slowly?This is due to the slow rate at which

the regulatory regime has been changing. The changes themselves arent clear: you dont know when a new tax will come up, and how much it will be. You dont know for sure whether or not NOKE [a proposed state-owned participant] will take over stakes in concessions. If yes, we have no idea when. All this is causing the development to slow down. Now, I want to be understood cor-

rectly: no one expects Poland to change its laws overnight. We know that only a few years ago Polands oil and gas regime was really serving one company, PGNiG. Suddenly, Poland had to move quickly toward a situation where pretty much every international player came here and started operations. Some of them have left by now, but not all and you can be sure that even those who have left are watching whats going on here.

In our view, because San Leon is an independent company, you should be adapting to changes better than majors. Is that true?

Majors absolutely dont have to be here. They have a lot of money and people. They dont have to drill here because they can drill anytime anywhere. The problem is that if theyre leaving it gives Poland bad press abroad, which I think is com-pletely unnecessary. I am sure though that once someone hits a sweet spot, theyll be back again.

Thats assuming sweet spots are to be hit at all.Let me get that clear: I am absolutely

certain that Poland will flow shale gas. I have no doubts about it whatsoever. Poland does have huge reserves of shale gas. I think its nonsense to say that Po-land is so much different to the US. No, Polish shales are no more different to the Barnett or Marcellus than any shales anywhere in the world. All you need to

do is to do more drilling. In two years shale gas will be proven up.

Are Polish shales really absolutely no different than the US ones?Every single play in the United States

is different, they have different TOCs [total organic carbon], different depths, different clay contents, etc. Its all about unlocking the recipe to get Mother Na-ture to release her bounty. Intensity of drilling will solve this. That will abso-lutely happen in Poland. I also think that even with a small

number of wells drilled to date com-panies have by now figured out what its going to take to keep the fracks open. It was an important technological issue and I think that its going to take a ceramic proppant scenario to push development forward.

The chairman of the LSE

listed explorer San Leon

Energy, has joined the PSC as its founding

member

Ms. Klaber

I N T E R V I EW

Since its inception in 2008, the Marcellus Shale Coalition has, according to its CEO Kathryn Klaber, succeeded in creating a unified voice and focused priorities. We interviewed Ms. Klaber in late summer 2013 to get a snapshot of her achievements as she prepared to depart the organization after a tenure lasting nearly five years.

BY PA R K E R S N Y D E R P H O TO G R A P H Y B Y C A RO L M ON TOYA



Traditionally, oil and gas operators have not engaged the public all that much. Why now the need for a coali-tion?Over the last three and a half years,

weve succeeded in creating a strong unified voice, and we can raise that voice to decision makers. Sometimes, a company will do something on its own, but the Coalition gets everyone to act together on major policy initia-tives and community outreach. Its kind of herding cats, but in a good, produc-tive way.

What elements of your training helped you in determining a strat-egy and outreach effort?The first: my undergraduate degree

in environmental science. I spent a decade working for an international health and safety firm. There, I got to understand how regulatory frameworks function. The second key, I worked in public policy, with senior level decision makers, as part of a regional economic development organization. The third: an MBA from Carnegie Mellon Uni-versity, which exposed me to the busi-ness drivers. If I can add a fourth leg to the table, it would be my local knowl-edge, spending the time in the com-munities where we needed to be suc-cessful.

The Marcellus basin grew quickly, with well counts doubling year-on-year. What was that like in retrospect?We did have a period, in 2007 and

2008, where the regulatory agency took a step back and said, lets make sure that we have a regulatory framework to support this kind of development. The MSC supported this approach and worked with environmental regulators to modernize the oversight regime. During that period, the leasing activ-ity was significant. After the leasing

period subsided, development took off. Today we have approximately 4,000 unconventional wells producing in Pennsylvania, which is considerable when just a few years ago we had only a few hundred producing wells. The understanding of the quality of the resource also played a significant role. Thats when companies started invest-ing for the long term. We realized even back then in the early days that the MSC was in for long-term challenges.

What were some of those chal-lenges?Rapid growth, a lack of depth in the

vendor base, and issues with a weak supply chain. However, the other chal-lenge that a previously adored fuel (natural gas) was now being perceived as a threat to renewables. At the same time a lot of the state and federal sub-sidies for renewables started to dry up [at the time of the financial crisis]. So there was a conflict, or a perceived conflict, with some groups. Special interest groups wanted to block the development of unconventional gas because they wrongly believed it would threaten the growth of renewables. The MSC, and many economists and poli-cymakers, believe that natural gas and renewables complement one another. The energy pie is big enough in the United States for all fuel sources to suc-ceed.

The MSC has been active promoting industry best practices. Why is that?Early on, when we were challenged

by regulatory authorities, we could have responded in a defensive mode, but we chose to take a proactive industry-led effort to raise the bar. MSC started writ-ing recommended practices in 2010, at first internally, but beginning in 2012, we began to release those practices on our website. We received, and continue

to receive, a very positive response from a number of key stakeholders. Some media outlets begin to cite our recommended practices. Although there are a number of industry stan-dards, such as APIs, we feel our recom-mended practices have an awareness of the regional issues and whats im-portant to people of Pennsylvania. What about lobbying? Weve heard the MSC has been active funding such efforts.From the very first day, we knew we

needed to be active lobbyists, in both the nations capital, Washington, DC, and Pennsylvanias capital, Harrisburg. That was a priority from the beginning. What has changed is our understanding of lobbying. Now, its our mission to be involved in broader based education to a range of constituents. That means grassroots engagement in local com-munities.Why reach out to local communities?

Elected officials are appropriately aware of the opinions of those who elected them. If you only do direct advocacy, you are asking them to be out front of their constituents. If you do only grass-roots work, the tasks are too large to be handled successfully. Thats why there has to be both. There has to be broad-based education, and there has to be direct lobbying. What was one particular mistake that you made, looking back?We focused so much in the commu-

nities where development was occur-ring to the detriment of the places that didnt have the resource. It was an issue of our priorities. There were whole seg-ments of Pennsylvania who had no idea what this had to do with them. But it has a lot to do with them! The develop-ment of the Marcellus shale play means lower energy prices, and prosperity throughout the state.

Its official. The slowdown in Poland has caused kit to move to other markets. Weatherford sent equipment to Lithu-

ania, moved their Poland country man-ager to Romania. Halliburton and Sch-lumberger have reassigned their country managers. Baker Hughes country man-ager is now based out of Germany. Poland is no longer the focus.These shifts reflect the fact that theres

little drilling activity. Equity backed UOS won its first pumping contract, although the job was basically awarded at cost.Elsewhere in Europe, drilling is slow

to pick up. The UK shows the most prom-ise; Cuadrilla is most active. (see chart)Germany could take off. Exxon has

some 50 wells planned and could com-mence after national elections. Romania and Ukraine will move slowly along.
