What are some of the things you should know?

  • Our business is not quite like the Clampetts any more. It never really was for me

and probably not for you!

  • Our industry is made up of multiple disciplines and it takes them all working

together as a team to find and produce economic oil and gas.

  • Best geology in the world is worthless unless you own the leases- “No lease-No

Grease”. In my career I have been constantly reminded of this fact.

  • Your group provides tremendous value to our industry and as a royalty interest
  • wner- THANK YOU!
  • You need to know something about the nature of geologists- Oil is found in the

minds of men and women who have a sound fundamental background in Geology.

  • We know oil is found in specific areas under specific geologic conditions. Mostly in
  • r nearby depositional basins that contain abundant source beds to generate oil

and gas, reservoir rocks to host and carry the oil and gas to a nearby trap. Traps may either be Conventional (stratigraphic or structural) or what we call Unconventional (Continuous). We will return to all this in a moment.

  • Geological fieldwork forms the basis for all studies of sedimentary rocks and

petroleum reservoirs, source beds and hydrocarbon traps!

Traits of successful Geologists/ Explorers!

  • Some key traits include:

– Enthusiastic and highly motivated – Can do attitude! – A sense of optimism. – Be able to think. – Be able to solve complex problems. – Be able to communicate. – Highly Creative mind- Able to assemble and synthesize lots of different types of data and create a coherent picture. – Honest . – Must have integrity. – Team player – Big Thinker – Takes just as much effort to find a small accumulation as a large one. – Tenacious – Don’t give up. Failure happens for a variety of reasons some of which you can’t control. – Intelligent - You need to be able to understand what you are looking for and have the tools to succeed. – A person who elevates the level of performance of those around him or her! – A Great Salesman – maybe this should be at the top of the list. – It is good to be Spiritual. Lucky. It is hard to deny divine intervention when you work for yourself because so many good things happen beyond your control.

Geologist’s Tools of the Trade

  • The chief database for the petroleum geologist is the pool of literally thousands of

historical wells that have been drilled. The well records, sample and core descriptions along with electrical and borehole geophysical logs provide the basis for subsurface mapping throughout the Rockies and around the world.

  • This data allows us to define source, reservoir, and trap mechanisms for both

conventional and unconventional oil and gas plays and prospects.

  • Drill stem tests and production tests for individual wells and formations allow

geologists to look at subsurface fluid dynamics and trace the oil through the rocks.

  • Production data obtained from governmental agencies or service companies.
  • Field studies published by trade organizations.
  • Geologic studies conducted by government agencies.
  • Satellite imagery.
  • Historical 2D and 3D shelf seismic data.
  • Aeromagetic and gravity surveys.
  • Geochemical studies (surface and subsurface).
  • A fast computer with robust mapping package is paramount!

So What is a Play? – Geologists and Landmen always talk of Plays!

  • A play is the complete package of geologic factors or

elements necessary for an active Petroleum System that occurs across a wide geographic area in a depositional basin.

– Essential elements of a play includes: the presence of source and reservoir rocks; traps; seals; burial history; subsurface temperatures sufficient for maturation and oil and gas generation and migration. All elements need to be placed in geologic space and time such that oil and gas accumulations may occur. Plays result from regional geologic studies over long time frames (we stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us). – A play is also a series of related prospects!

Impact Energy Resources, LLC 9

slide-10
SLIDE 10

So What is a Prospect? Geologists and Landmen are big on these too!

  • A prospect is, in my opinion, a geologic lead, concept
  • r idea where you own an economic interest e.g.

Leases, Minerals, or Royalty. If the leases are not available or you cannot obtain an interest in the idea then the idea goes back to the lead pool or geologist’s inventory! We usually have a large pool of ideas!

  • A prospect is also a geologic lead or concept that can

make you or your company a profit, sometimes by accident ( see Jed above)!

  • A prospect or series thereof is a subset of a play (see

above).

Geology – Today’s Game Changers!

  • Horizontal Drilling - been around since early 90s.
  • 3D Seismic – better imaging of the subsurface

reservoir package and steering horizontal wells.

  • Multi-stage completion- Engineers are enhancing

the available porosity and permeability of tight oil and gas reservoirs across the Shale Basins of the US; e.g. the Niobrara Shale, Bakken and Threeforks.

  • Our ability to learn, innovate, adapt and survive.

– With each new hole we drill we are always learning in this business!

Elements of a Oil and Gas Accumulation

  • Favorable Stratigraphy in a depositional basin that includes:

– Reservoir Rocks (sandstones, limestones, dolomites, and shales)

  • Porosity and permeability sufficient to carry and hold hydrocarbons and transmit oil

and gas. (Gotta have holes that are connected!) – Source rocks

  • Deposited in anerobic (low oxygen), stagnant conditions.
  • Rich in total organic matter (TOC) such as dark colored shales, limestones and

dolomites.

  • Which have experienced burial and thermal history sufficient to generate oil and

gas by the conversion of the organic matter to kerogen and ultimately to oil and gas!

  • Trap mechanisms- Containers for oil and gas in the subsurface!

– Conventional- old style or yesterdays objectives!

  • Stratigraphic – porosity and permeability pinch-outs.
  • Structural – domes, anticlinal folds, and fault traps

– Unconventional – new style- Today’s objectives

  • (Basin Centered Continuous Accumulations)

SLIDE 14

What is Stratigraphy and why is it important?

  • Stratigraphy is a fancy science term for rock strata that describes

how rock layers form, their age, geographic distribution, physical character, and chemical composition. Stratigraphy is defined in the field at the outcrop level by the geologist. Outcrops are a 3D exposure of the rocks on the ground.

– Formations are the basic unit of Stratigraphy utilized for mapping by the geologist. Formations have definite and similar characteristics, widespread, and mappable over a wide geographical area. These formation names (reservoirs )are what you see in agreements. – Each Geologic Formation is described in a specific area and tied to what geologists call “Type Localities”. A formation is named for the type locality on the ground e.g. a nearby city or landmark first and then its dominate lithology. An example would be the Niobrara Shale. – A geologist’s ability to describe an outcrop of geologic formations and its structure is related to his or her ability to understand what he or she sees.

Stratigraphic Columns

Stratigraphic Columns like one to left are the summation of Formation Stratigraphy for a given basin or area. They show the layering of geologic formations. Stratigraphic Columns are available for all basins and are useful to understand formation names used in reports and agreements.

Impact Energy Resources, LLC 16

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Stratigraphy (Cont’d)

  • Formation names are what you see on Division Orders and

Title Opinions and spelled out in Farm-out Agreements and

  • ther documents to be recorded in the courthouse. The

formation name objective should be included on your documentation when you draft agreements so that the interest is clearly specified as to what depth and what formations are covered.

– The following is an example TITLE MEMO illustrating the need to add formations names to clarify the agreement. I would also recommend adding a type log too to further specify the intent.

Stratigraphy (Cont’d) - Agreement Example

  • What is the reference

formation? We have a depth but nothing else.

  • What are the formations

above the reference depth? What are the formations below the reference depth?

  • This issue pertains to all of

your agreements!

Elements Cont’d – Oil and Gas Trap Mechanisms

Conventional - Yesterday Unconventional - Today

Gas rises above oil and oil above water. Would expect down dip water leg!

  • Continuous oil and or gas accumulation
  • May have water transition on top of oil or gas

with no down dip water leg!

  • Reservoir and source rock adjacent or

interbedded.

  • Short distance migration
  • Reservoir exhibits Low permeability and
  • porosity. Great for horizontal drilling.
  • Trap boundaries ill defined- diffuse.

Summary

  • The Rocky Mountain Region contains major new field reserve potential

in multiple wide spread shale reservoirs that are thermally mature, oil and gas generating. We have only touched on a couple. These vast unconventional traps will be developed in the future utilizing game changing technology 3D seismic, horizontal drilling, and multi stage completion.
