OCAPL RecordOKLAHOMA CITY ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSIONAL LANDMEN

VOLUME ��, ISSUE 8 OCTOBER 20�3

Treasurer’s LetterI sit down on the heels of the Weekend Take Off to write my Treasurer’s Letter and wanted to thank several people who made this year’s WTO one of the best! The chair, Tami Wheeler, and co-chair, Leslie Anderson, did a great job lining up some very interesting speakers. Candy, Gloria and this year they swindled Bree into helping out, and did an awesome job feeding the group. This is one weekend you just need to throw the diet out the window…between Dave Hampton’s famous grilled tenderloins and John Frank’s soon to be infamous Brandy Ice; we literally ate like kings and queens. Look for the committee to publish an article but I just wanted to thank some of the people that made this year’s event a huge success. Next year the WTO will celebrate our Ten Year Anniversary and along with the army it takes to pull a continuing education event like this off, we could not do it without the support of the OCAPL. With their help we have been able to keep the cost for the weekend to $250 per person. Not a bad price for 10-11 credits, housing, meals and entertainment.

This year’s Christmas Party will be held at the Skirvin Hotel on December 2nd, and the Community Affairs Committee has selected Infant Crisis Center, Youth Services of Oklahoma County and the Homeless Veterans as beneficiaries of the Christmas Raffle. Melissa Miller and her committee will soon be soliciting

donations for door prizes so open your hearts and your wallets for these great organizations.

This year Teresa and I changed the format of the budget and instead of carrying a one line “net” entry for each event or expense, we have categorized our income and expenses to show how much was taken in (by sponsorship or registration) and how much was spent (for venue, prizes, etc.) We feel this new budget represents a much clearer image of the money that passes through our organization and my last duty as Treasurer will be to publish the 2013 Budget in the January 2014 Newsletter. I will be happy to answer any questions that our members have, once the annual report is published.

Dillon Orr, our Newsletter Chair has done an excellent job on not only bringing in many new advertisers, but also changing the looks of our monthly publication. I noticed in the September issue that he is still looking for members to participate in the Working Interest column. Don’t tell me I’m the only one with something on my mind…really folks? That can’t be true!

Aaron Ivey and Dan Dickensheet, Co-Chairs of the Website Committee, have been given the green light to update our website, making it more dynamic and easier to use. They have a lot of good ideas and I expect it to be even a better tool for us to use in our day-to-day business. If you or someone you know is a member of OCAPL and have that funny little icon as your photo, PLEASE upload a photo! It doesn’t have to be a professional photo. As a matter of fact the photo I used was cropped from last year’s vacation. Anything to help us put a name with a face ~ we’re not getting any younger.

Speaking of vacation, I’m on mine! Do any of you remember Linda Featherstone? She currently works for EnCana in Dallas and we are taking a trip to Italy together. We will be out of the country from September 28th through October 14th. We are spending the first week in Rome, Naples and the Isle of Capri and the second week will be spent in Tuscany where we have rented a Villa with her family and friends. I can hardly wait!

I hope you are all in good health and spirit and addio amico mia (goodbye my friend),

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSOINAL LANDMENQUARTERLY BOARD MEETING, Seattle, WA.

September 15, 2013

The AAPL Quarterly Board Meeting was held Sunday, September 15, 2013 at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel, Seattle, WA. The location was downtown Seattle providing the participants many options to enjoy the venue.

President’s Report: Don Key, CPL, AAPL President, called the meeting to Order. The Invocation was provided by Kevin Dickerson followed by the Introduction and Roll Call of the Executive Committee, Directors and Committee Chairs.

The Marketing committee is working with its AAPL Awareness packet, the AAPL Marketing video and the “Face of a Landman” video. The Membership committee reports it is meeting with various companies to encourage 100% membership in AAPL. The Policy Review committee is actively reviewing AAPL policy after having completed the By-Laws revisions last year to assure all are in compliance with each other. The Public Lands Access committee is very busy with the recent governmental shut down in Washington, D.C., which has a ripple effect throughout the active basins in the U.S. The Publications committee is active with current articles but is always looking for additional material that is pertinent to Landmen.

If you are interested in becoming further involved in AAPL to assist in the advancement of your profession, please do not hesitate to contact me or Julie Woodard, AAPL Director.

Respectfully,

Jack C. Richards, CPL Substitute Director

Industry Affair’sForecast: Power industry to cool winter demand for gasPosted on October 3, 2013 at 2:36 pm by Simone Sebastian in Markets, Natural gasPower companies will trim their demand for natural gas this winter while the industrial sector will expand its use of the fossil fuel, according to projections from the Natural Gas Supply Association.The trend of coal-to-natural gas switching in the power industry — which last year briefly led natural gas use to exceed long-time leader coal in U.S power generation — is expected to slow this winter, the trade organization said in its forecast released this week. Utilities have turned to natural gas as the shale gas boom has cut its price and federal regulations on emissions have put pressure on higher-carbon coal.“Coal-to-gas switching is expected to continue for a sixth straight winter, but switching is forecasted to average 4.2 billion cubic feet per day rather than last winter’s near record amounts,” said Natural Gas Supply Association Chairman Greg Vesey, who also serves as Chevron’s vice president of gas supply and trading, in a written statement.Overall, NGSA expects moderate growth in supply and demand for natural gas this winter, resulting in stable prices during the season, which is expected to have weather and economic conditions similar to last winter.With booming expansion natural gas-fed facilities, like petrochemical and gas-to-liquids plants in the United States, the industrial sector is projected to increase demand for natural gas this winter and for the rest of the decade. Energy Ventures Analysis forecasts industry use of the fuel will grow by about 3.5 percent, compared to last winter.Residential and commercial use will remain stagnant, the consulting firm forecasts.Vesey said natural gas supply and storage will be as robust as last year. However, that supply increasingly comes from associated gas produced as a waste product during oil extraction instead of that produced directly from natural gas wells, he said.“The growth of associated gas explains how natural gas production continues at strong levels despite a 28 percent drop in the number of gas well completions,” Vesey said in a written statement. “We expect associated gas to continue to be a key component of winter supply as oil drilling in the Bakken and Eagle Ford shales continues and new gas infrastructure is put in place to reduce gas flaring.”U.S. Fracking Success Threatens Russian Economy, StrategyPosted 10/03/2013 06:39 PM ET in the Editorials of the Investor’s Business DailyEnergy Revolution: America’s natural gas boom threatens Russia’s economic strategy, an expert says, leaving it with few alternatives to rescue its economy while threatening to shatter its energy stranglehold on Europe.Russia’s abundance of energy resources has long allowed it to use energy both as a foreign policy weapon and as the bedrock of the Russian economy. Whenever energy prices rose, Russia benefited and its neighbors often felt the restraining leash of dependence on Russian energy,

particularly natural gas.Government-controlled energy giant Gazprom was in such a strong position it could demand decade-long contracts and link the price of gas to oil, disregarding the world price for the commodity.Gazprom also became a critical instrument for Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has never been shy about using it to pursue his foreign policy objectives.Putin largely relied on oil and gas production to fuel economic expansion during his first two presidential terms from 2000 to 2008. Hydrocarbons accounted for half of Russia’s GDP growth since 2000, according to a May report by Leon Aron, resident scholar and director of Russian studies at the American Enterprise Institute.Five years ago, Gazprom was close to shipping gas from Russia’s Eastern Arctic to the U.S., but the fracking revolution forced Gazprom to shutter its project for liquified natural gas production at the Shtokman field in the Barents Sea.That was then and this is now.An American shale gas boom has been unleashed by the use of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, to unlock the energy treasures in the vast porous rock formations that blanket our nation.This, according to Thane Gustafson, a political science at Georgetown University and one of the world’s foremost experts on Russian energy, undermines Moscow’s economic and foreign policy goals.Speaking Wednesday at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies, Gustafson said that fracking, which he described as a “remarkable story of entrepreneurship” inspired by “the freedom to fail,” has placed the U.S. on the path to becoming a net exporter of natural gas by 2020.Fracking should also make us energy-independent by 2035, according to the World Energy Outlook’s 2012 report. That would shatter Moscow’s ambitions. “The Russians are going to find themselves in the position of global gas price takers,” Gustafson said. “Their capacity to influence the market there is going to diminish.”Their ability to use energy as a foreign policy weapon will diminish as well.Gazprom has long had a near-stranglehold on gas supplies to Western and Eastern Europe, drawing on Russia’s massive energy reserves and lengthy pipelines to supply the bulk of gas to 30 countries, including most of the European Union.Largely due to fracking unleashing U.S. and global supplies, Gazprom’s exports to Europe decreased by 8% in 2012 to the lowest level in a decade.The U.S.-driven changes to the global gas market have plunged Russia into somewhat of a recession. Russia’s overall economic growth slumped to just 1.2% in the second quarter of 2013. Gazprom has lost more than $280 billion in market value since 2008.A weakened Gazprom also saps Russia’s foreign policy clout. As recently as four years ago, Russia could simply turn off the taps if a country such

Industry Affair’sas Ukraine failed to agree to a new contract. Even Western European countries were wary of upsetting Russia for fear of jeopardizing energy relations.“Russia’s business model for development over the next decade is trashed,” says Donald N. Jensen, fellow at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies’ Center for Transatlantic Relations.At least America’s energy producers follow President Reagan’s famous strategy: “We win. They lose.”Slowly, Democrats embrace frackingBy Reid Wilson, Published: September 25 in the Washington Post If any state emerged from a decade of economic recession in strong shape, it was North Dakota. A booming oil industry that’s taken shape on the western side of the state, fueled by the process known as hydraulic fracturing, has kept North Dakota’s unemployment rate at a level less than half the national average while injecting millions in tax revenue into state coffers.Now, other states want in on the economic benefits of fracking — and blue states are rushing to grab a piece of the fracking pie just as fast as red states, despite concerns raised by environmental activists.Last week, California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) signed into law new regulations on the fracking industry that will nonetheless allow companies to continue exploring oil-rich areas in and around the San Joaquin Valley. In June, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn (D) signed similar legislation that imposes regulations on the industry while simultaneously inviting companies to invest in the region.Environmental groups in both states opposed the measures. But despite the fact that environmentalists contribute millions to Democratic candidates at both the federal and state level, Democratic legislators overwhelmingly backed both bills.It’s hard for state governments to pass on the billions in tax revenue extracted oil and gas can bring a state. An analysis [pdf] by IHS Global Insight released last December showed California reaped almost $3 billion in extraction taxes in 2012; a University of Southern California study released in March estimated that the Monterey Shale formation, which runs through the San Joaquin Valley, could bring in almost $25 billion in tax revenue, and create 2.8 million jobs, by 2020.“It’s about jobs, and it’s about ensuring that our natural resources are protected for future generations,” Illinois Gov. Quinn said after signing the bill, according to the Chicago Tribune.And even some environmentalists support the concept of the legislation; at the very least, they say, the regulation aspect of the new laws means fracking will become safer and more transparent as companies disclose the chemicals they use to extract oil and gas.“What regulation does is it gets the public some sense that things are being managed. The degree to which industries are asking states to regulate them are smart,” said Carol Browner, a fellow at the Center for American

Progress who ran the Environmental Protection Agency under Bill Clinton and served as President Obama’s environmental czar. “Something will be better than nothing.”Environmental groups haven’t been completely pleased with their Democratic partners, either in the White House or on the state level. Oil production has reached record levels during Obama’s administration, and several environmental activists described their frustration that their priorities and the White House’s don’t always match. Even liberals like California Gov. Brown have angered their supporters by signing legislation the environmentalists say doesn’t go far enough.Brown “very much embraces new technology, and in that sense he’s been great, because he wants to advance solar energy and wind energy,” said Kathryn Phillips, director of the Sierra Club of California and an opponent of the fracking legislation Brown signed. “On oil issues, I don’t know that we’d call him a liberal. He has said he thinks fracking presents a fabulous economic opportunity.”In some cases, fracking proponents have used parts of the Democratic base to advance the legislation. In Illinois, the Chamber of Commerce and the state Manufacturer’s Association partnered with the state AFL-CIO to push wary Democratic lawmakers their way. After all, more fracking in blue states means more labor jobs — and in economically struggling Central Illinois and the San Joaquin Valley, that’s a powerful argument.Pro-fracking groups are looking to North Carolina as the next state to open lands to hydraulic fracturing, and the Republican-controlled state legislature has signaled that it will take up the issue next year. And both sides are closely watching New York, where Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is considering his options on a pending moratorium.Environmental groups aren’t giving ground, but they acknowledge that the writing is on the wall, especially in states facing big budget holes. “We have strong concerns about both the environmental and public health impacts of fracking,” said Tiernan Sittenfeld, senior vice president for governmental affairs at the League of Conservation Voters. “We don’t agree with all Democrats on all environmental issues. It’s fairly apparent that some Democrats see this as a bridge fuel.”But other environmentalists think they have few options, and that some regulations are better than none. “I think it’s highly likely that we’re going to continue to take natural gas out of the ground,” Browner said.
