3 Summary of Conclusions Gas production from the Barnett shale follows closely a multi-hubbert curve model (Patzek, 27, 28, 29), (Patzek & Croft, 2) The post-28 (right-most) Hubbert curve is very steep and its area (cumulative gas produced) is small; not a good sign With over 4 thousand Barnett wells and up 6 years of production in some wells, there seems to be enough data to draw quantitative conclusions about current and future production of shale gas There is a problem, however, almost no one knows how to draw the conclusions; only rough sketching comes to mind p.2/73

9 Disclaimer... I have used a constant gas price of $4./Mcf Therefore my calculations should be used only for planning purposes and do not reflect the historical profits realized over the last 6-7 years from historical wells Work to do: Evaluate wells the average annual gas price starting from when a well was drilled Everything I will say, is equally applicable to condensate- and oil-producing shales p.8/73
10 More Conclusions... Barnett shale is very heterogeneous areally and gas production is highly dependent on time Cumulative gas production by well in a given county is approximately lognormally distributed for fixed production times (,2, or 3 years in this presentation) One can therefore calculate the expected values of cumulative gas production by well after, 2, or 3 years, the median values, and the most probable (mode) values According to the results, no mean, median, or most probable well in the Barnett shale is profitable for three years, if its drilling cost is $3 million, and the gas price is close to $4/Mcf p.9/73
11 More Conclusions... The shale heterogeneity and different completion and production strategies result in the standard deviations from the expected production values (means) that are of the same order as the means Therefore, it is difficult to predict a priori the probability of a desired level of production in a given geographic area One can run Monte Carlo simulations and calculate the probabilities of exceeding a certain cumulative production after, 2, or 3 years (only the first-year results are shown here) The Monte Carlo simulations reveal that high-productivity wells are possible, but highly unlikely p./73
12 More Conclusions... According to the Monte Carlo simulations, chances of drilling and completing a Barnett shale well that will pay for itself in year are about: /8 in Tarrant county / in Johnson county in all other Barnett shale counties A novel and potentially ground-breaking approach to estimating gas shale production is sketched; it still needs further research and development p./73

22 The Lognormal Distribution In a log-normal distribution of a random variable X > that has outcomes {x}, µ is the mean and σ standard deviation, respectively, of ln x (the variable s logarithm is normally distributed). In cartesian coordinates, µ and σ are the location and scale parameters, respectively [ ] pdf(x;µ,σ) = f(x;µ,σ) = x exp (lnx µ)2 2πσ 2 2σ 2 where pdf = f is the probability density function The distribution mode (pdf s peak value) is Mode = exp(µ σ 2 ) p.2/73
23 The Lognormal Distribution, cntd. Median is defined as Median(µ, σ) = m f(x;µ,σ) dx = m f(x;µ,σ) dx = 2 The lognormal distribution s median is equal to Median(µ) = exp(µ) The most important mean or expected value of the lognormal distribution is ] E(X) = m = xf(x;µ,σ) dx = exp [µ+ σ2 2 p.22/73
24 The Lognormal Distribution, cntd. The variance of the lognormal distribution is V(X) = x 2 f(x;µ,σ) dx = [ exp ( σ 2) ] exp ( 2µ+σ 2) The standard deviation is s = V Note that µ and σ describe the normal distribution of lnx, while m and s the lognormal distribution of x p.23/73
25 Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) The novel GEV approach is based on the observation that gas production from a shale is an extreme event that corresponds to a certain level of changing the shale structure and connecting to it The GEV fits of county-wide Barnett shale data are almost perfect, much better than the lognormal fits (here I only show the nine largest counties after 3 years) With better fits, I can obtain tighter bounds on the uncertainties of production volumes, i.e., narrower 95% confidence intervals p.24/73

172 Remedial Technology Suppose that you had a technology that would allow you to stop drilling and completing a Barnett well if its 3-year production would be below Bcf You would spend only $ million on that well You would charge this sunk cost to the project and drill another, better well for $3 millions Such strategy could limit your negative cash flow quite considerably at $4/Mcf p.7/73

174 Conclusions Economic gas production from gas shales is difficult but possible, even at $4-5 per standard cubic feet of gas We still understand too little about the mechanisms of gas/condensate flow through shales, and fracture generation and connectivity Significant fundamental and applied research is needed to predict and improve the long-time performance of hydrofractured horizonal wells in shales Full water reuse and recycling will be necessary to allow for drilling unconventional gas wells in many parts of the U.S. p.73/73
