1 EPGE/FGV International Workshop on Microeconomics Applied to the Energy Industry Oil Field Unitization in Theory and Practice by Dr. James L. Smith Cary M. Maguire Chair in Oil & Gas Management Department of Finance Southern Methodist University Dallas, TX USA Rio de Janeiro, December 15, 2011
2 Theory versus Practice In Theory: An ideal solution to an important problem.
3 Theory versus Practice In Theory: An ideal solution to an important problem. In Practice: Imperfect adaptations are unavoidable, but may jeopardize success.
4 Outline of My Talk Unitization in theory: Aligns incentives
5 Outline of My Talk Unitization in theory: Aligns incentives Eliminates waste
6 Outline of My Talk Unitization in theory: Aligns incentives Eliminates waste Simplifies conservation regulation
7 Outline of My Talk Unitization in practice: Difficulties in forming the unit. Inherent bargaining power Uncertain terms of trade The role of government vs. voluntary action
8 Outline of My Talk Unitization in practice: Difficulties in forming the unit. Inherent bargaining power Uncertain terms of trade The role of government vs. voluntary action Difficulties in operating the unit. Early gas sales vs. enhanced oil production Primary vs. secondary recovery Concessions vs. production sharing?
9 Outline of My Talk Unitization in practice: Difficulties in forming the unit. Inherent bargaining power Uncertain terms of trade The role of government vs. voluntary action Difficulties in operating the unit. Early gas sales vs. enhanced oil production Primary vs. secondary recovery Concessions vs. production sharing? How the former difficulties lead to the latter.
10 The Rule of Capture as explained by:
11 Excerpt from Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One), aired May 21, 1995.
12 The Rule of Capture, as Explained by Law The well bore may not cross property lines. Mr. Burns is breaking the law.
13 The Rule of Capture, as Explained by Law The well bore may not cross property lines. Mr. Burns is breaking the law. But hydrocarbons may (and will) cross property lines. Your neighbor s vertical well is not breaking the law. Without unitization, your neighbor will drill many wells that exploit your property.

21 How Unitization Solves the Problem Each producer owns a share of the common pie.
22 How Unitization Solves the Problem Each producer owns a share of the common pie. Incentives are aligned; each producer want to maximize the value of the pie, which in turn maximizes the value of his share.
23 How Unitization Solves the Problem Each producer owns a share of the common pie. Incentives are aligned; each producer want to maximize the value of the pie, which in turn maximizes the value of his share. Waste that hurts any one producer, hurts all.
24 How Unitization Solves the Problem Each producer owns a share of the common pie. Incentives are aligned; each producer want to maximize the value of the pie, which in turn maximizes the value of his share. Waste that hurts any one producer, hurts all. Unit governance is simple: wise decisions receive unanimous support.
25 Problems That Remain to be Solved Difficulties in forming the unit Bargaining and the inherent bargaining power of small interest holders.
26 Problems That Remain to be Solved Difficulties in forming the unit Bargaining and the inherent bargaining power of small interest holders. Price and technological uncertainties, as they affect the terms of trade.

44 Government Intervention Well spacing and permitting regulations replace anarchy (in the event of disagreement) with order. This limits the bargaining power of smaller interests.
45 Government Intervention Well spacing and permitting regulations replace anarchy (in the event of disagreement) with order. This limits the bargaining power of smaller interests. So-called unitization assistance laws may marginalize small interests.
46 Government Intervention Well spacing and permitting regulations replace anarchy (in the event of disagreement) with order. This limits the bargaining power of smaller interests. So-called unitization assistance laws may marginalize small interests. Arbitration may fine-tune both of these to the circumstances of a specific field.

These may prevent agreement on terms of trade by which individual holdings are exchanged for shares of the unitized field.
56 How Many Participating Areas in the Unit? Dual Participating Areas are created to help owners reach agreement on equity shares.
57 How Many Participating Areas in the Unit? Dual Participating Areas are created to help owners reach agreement on equity shares. Common Examples Oil Rim vs. Gas Cap participating areas Primary vs. Secondary participating areas
58 How Many Participating Areas in the Unit? Dual Participating Areas are created to help owners reach agreement on equity shares. Common Examples Oil Rim vs. Gas Cap participating areas Primary vs. Secondary participating areas Intended benefit: to circumvent conflict over the terms of trade (by avoiding the trade)
59 How Many Participating Areas in the Unit? Dual Participating Areas are created to help owners reach agreement on equity shares. Common Examples Oil Rim vs. Gas Cap participating areas Primary vs. Secondary participating areas Intended benefit: to circumvent conflict over the terms of trade (by avoiding the trade) Relevant only if there is both uncertainty and disagreement about the relative value of the dissimilar assets (oil vs. gas)
60 Negative Impact of Dual Participating Areas Creates competition among owners.
61 Negative Impact of Dual Participating Areas Creates competition among owners. Imposes conflicting perspectives on a shared investment problem.
62 Negative Impact of Dual Participating Areas Creates competition among owners. Imposes conflicting perspectives on a shared investment problem. Exposes owners to the hold up problem: pressure to alter agreements after costs have been sunk and bargaining leverage lost.
63 Negative Impact of Dual Participating Areas Creates competition among owners. Imposes conflicting perspectives on a shared investment problem. Exposes owners to the hold up problem: pressure to alter agreements after costs have been sunk and bargaining leverage lost. Only postpones hard decisions, and may increase the cost of reaching ultimate agreement.

Answer: It depends; problems arise only if: There is uncertainty re: specific terms or application of the two regimes. (probably not) There is uncertainty re: the fiscal burden that each regime will impose on affected production streams. (maybe, if variations in future oil prices influence the R-factor)

(probably not) There is uncertainty re: the fiscal burden that each regime will impose on affected production streams. (maybe, if variations in future oil prices influence the R-factor) That uncertainty fosters disagreement among owners re: future fiscal burdens under the two regimes.
