Dan Pottmeyer presents the Oilfield Patriot award to William Kinney

During the 2013 Summer Meeting held on August 5 in Zanesville, the Ohio Oil and

Gas Association presented William Kinney, president and owner of Twinsburg-based Summit Petroleum, with the 2013 Oilfield Patriot Award, sponsored by Producer Services Corporation, an annual honor bestowed by the trade association.

Established in 2006, the award recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to protect, promote and advance the common interests of those engaged in all aspects of Ohio’s crude oil and natural gas industry. Kinney was honored for his long-time advocacy on behalf of the industry, which has included working with legislators and representing the state’s oil and gas producers at civic and community events.

“William Kinney epitomizes the Oilfield Patriot Award,” said Joel Rudicil, president of the Ohio Oil and Gas Association. “He has selflessly contributed time, energy and resources for the benefit of the industry and our members. He is a deserving recipient of this prestigious award.”

A resident of Hudson, Kinney launched Summit Petroleum, Inc. in 1984. The company drills, owns and operates crude oil and natural gas wells in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. He is past president of OOGA and currently serves as chairman of the OOGA/Dominion East Ohio Gas Project Review Committee.

“Bill Kinney has always held the Ohio producer’s best interests first and foremost in his heart. He has vision, a vision that has helped to guide this

Association through several difficult public policy debates, market issues and Association affairs,” said Tom Stewart, Executive Vice President of OOGA. “Always a quick study with an acidic comment that sets the tone, Bill’s vision continues to be a signpost for the future of this great industry. He also fancies himself to be a great fisherman. That remains to be seen.”

In next month’s Bulletin, look for an in-depth Member Spotlight on Mr. Kinney. OOGA would like to give a special thank you to Producer Services Corporation for their Patriot Award support.

July/August 2013 Ohio Oil & Gas Association Bulletin – www.ooga.org

This year’s OOGA Summer Meeting may have been one of the best in

recent memory - great weather, good turnout, friendly competition and plenty of good food and beverage. The Zanesville Country Club, located in the heart of the Ohio oil patch, proved to be the perfect site to accommodate our burgeoning membership. Ohio hospitality was evident as the OOGA staff welcomed our long-time members and those that had traveled from around the region and country to attend.

The highlight of the Summer Meeting for many has quickly become the Oilfield Patriot Award dinner. The award was established in 2006 to recognize an individual who has selflessly contributed to the betterment of our industry. Bill Kinney received the 2013 Oilfield Patriot Award before

many well wishers, friends and family members. Heartfelt congratulations to Bill for receiving this well deserved award.

The Summer Meeting has traditionally been a time to catch up with longtime industry friends, talk about drilling plans, and perhaps learn of a big well that someone was getting ready to turn on. With shale development, the conversation has changed. Today it’s about well pads, acreage sales, processing facilities, large diameter pipeline infrastructure, water management, upside down gas markets, road use agreements, taxes, regulations and politics. The industry with which I am most familiar, is going through a transformation. History tells us that the most analogous discoveries were the Trenton Formation discovered in northwest Ohio in the late 1800’s and the Trempealeau Formation that yielded prodigious quantities of oil in central Ohio in the 1960’s. The shale play now centered in southeast Ohio has the potential to dwarf both of these historic plays and has attracted the attention of many of our country’s largest producers.

A fair question is to ask what your Association is doing to protect and defend your industry. The Summer Meeting is as good a time as any to assess where we are and how we are doing - much like a midterm exam. In January of this year, the Association Executive Committee, joined by several Past Presidents, met over two days to discuss our direction and both short and long term objectives. We reached consensus on several strategic issues:

1. Conduct a short term campaign to strengthen OOGA’s position on tax and regulatory issues

2. Renegotiate and extend the HCA agreement to protect Ohio producers

3. Strengthen the committee system to serve the needs of a growing and diverse membership

4. Expand membership training to focus on new technologies

5. Evaluate staffing needs, facilities, and succession planning

Ohio Oil & Gas Association Executive Vice President Tom Stewart was recently featured by Columbus Business First

as one of twenty people to know in the Ohio energy industry.

Monthly, Columbus Business First features twenty individuals who are at the forefront of their respective industries. The focus is on Central Ohioans deeply engaged in their work and who continue to lead their companies and communities. Stewart was joined by fellow OOGA members and contributors Shawn Bennett (Energy In-Depth), Chip Collier (Benesch Friedlander Coplan & Aronoff LLP), Dan Lorenz (Joe Knows Energy), Craig Kasper (Hull & Associates), and Kristin Watt (Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP).

The following is a full transcript of Stewart’s comments to Columbus Business First and this story.

Why did you get into this profession?

“Fortunately for me, I come from an oil family whose roots extend back to the early days of the Appalachian oil regions. I revere the business; there is a romance to it. The nature of oil and gas is quintessentially American and, for the most part, driven by entrepreneurial independents. These people have imagination and guts. In 1991, the opportunity to head-up their advocacy organization came while I was already serving

on the OOGA board and committees. For me it was a rare occasion to play a unique role in the business I love. So, I pursued the EVP job and, thankfully, the leadership at the time gave me my opportunity. I owe much to my father’s family and even more so to the Ohio producers who made this industry.”

What’s the most exciting thing happening today in energy?

“American Ingenuity is driving advanced drilling and reservoir stimulation technology that is dramatically expanding America’s proven reserve base in ways that were not imaginable just a decade ago. Industry innovation has created the ability to find large amounts of oil and gas not only in conventional reservoirs but now also in non-conventional shale “source” rocks where nature actually formed the product. Nationally, this is a transformational event but it is even more so for the Appalachian states that are part of the industry’s oldest-producing basin. Everything has changed! America now has a more positive view regarding energy security and our now lessening reliance on foreign producers. Our fear of energy scarcity is fading. This is creating economic opportunity for all Americans.”

Continued on the following page


OOGA Members Featured as 20 People to Know (cont. from page 5)

What’s your biggest worry about the industry?

“Shale development is extraordinarily intense economic activity that, so far, is driven by fairly large producers. The result has changed energy markets by driving down commodity prices, even as it has driven up the demand for and subsequently the costs of oilfield services and goods, including the acreage necessary to replace reserves. Regulatory scrutiny is layering additional new expense. These combined factors have imposed duress on traditional independent producers who are the backbone of our industry. Opportunity will someday soon move toward them. My greatest concern is to preserve an operating environment in Ohio that will provide these producers breathing room and the opportunity to emerge and thrive once shale birth pains abate in our area.”

What’s one thing you would change about the energy industry in the U.S., if you could?

“My industry is often criticized for not well managing our public image. I believe we’re getting better at fighting back in a meaningful and strategic way. There will always be people who self-promote by bashing on so-called “big oil.” They are empty suits. If I could, I would change industry’s occasional tendency to acquiesce to unjustified policies thinking that somehow it appeases people who are opposed to oil and gas development. It won’t happen. So, we must fight on. “

What’s one piece of advice you can give to someone who wants to build a career similar to yours?

“Success comes to those who believe in the rightness of their members’ cause. Stand up, speak out and lead. Keep control of your message. Your members expect this of you. Leadership from the middle is an oxymoron. Should adversaries confront you, that means you did indeed stand up for principle. But, if at the end of an issue you shrug and say the result was best you could do, then you probably didn’t do your best.”

I am pleased to report that we have made progress on several stated objectives but have a long way to go on others. We successfully expanded our Challenge Fund resources with broad industry support to deliver a positive message to many Ohioans regarding our industry’s impact on job creation and economic opportunity. We are working with Dominion East Ohio to help assure that gas will continue to flow and that there will be opportunities for those with higher BTU gas to receive liquids uplift value. With the input of Committee and Work Group Chairs, our standing committees are being restructured to provide broader membership access and improved communication. The OOGA staff has been divided between the downtown Columbus legislative office and the Granville office. Our Board of Trustees approved in June leasing additional downtown space to accommodate

the full OOGA staff. We will continue to maintain an office and presence in Granville with the Ohio Oil & Gas Energy Education Program.

Your generous support of our industry and our Association are an encouragement to the many volunteers and staff that work tirelessly on your behalf. John D. Rockefeller may have said it best, “I do not think there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance”.

Regards,

Joel Rudicil

Executive Vice President Comments

The Ohio oil and gas industry currently sits squarely in Ohio’s conscious. The industry is everywhere – from news stories and media reports (positive and

negative) to policy debates on various state, federal and local topics to creating new economic opportunities for this great state. The world as we once knew it has changed.

As the Lincoln quote suggests, preparing to address a problem pays dividends when addressing them. That is why your Association leadership has approved two changes to your Association.

On August 1, 2013, the Ohio Oil and Gas Association added additional members to our OOGA team. Mike Chadsey and Anne Carto, formerly of Energy In-Depth Ohio, are now employed under the OOGA banner. Mike will serve as the Director of Public Relations. His core goal will be to assist in building the Association’s relationships and interactions with all media outlets in the state and to work with local elected, business, and community leaders throughout Ohio. Anne will serve as the Communications Coordinator. She will be responsible for OOGA’s flagship membership publication, the monthly Bulletin, as well as managing the Association’s website and social media platforms.

Preserving OOGA’s role in both external communications to the public and internal communications to our members is a key component in preserving and protecting our membership from the litany of those who oppose or seek to take advantage of this industry.

Brian Hickman will move up to serve as the Director of Government Affairs. This Association continues to face an onslaught of legislative and regulatory issues. In his new role, Brian will assist me in advocating OOGA’s legislative and regulatory priorities before the Ohio General Assembly.

For most, expanding and reprioritizing our team would be enough of a change. However, another large change is on the horizon. Effective September 1, 2013, the Ohio Oil and Gas Association’s offices will move from Granville to downtown Columbus into office space located on Capital Square.

Moving all of the Association team to Columbus is necessary to meet the challenges that our industry currently faces. Legislators value a quick and personal response to their questions and concerns. In this environment being thirty minutes away from their normal place of business is not conducive to assist them. OOGA needs to be based on Capital Square where the “action” is taking place.

Both of these actions coincide with the quote mentioned above. These actions taken by the Board of Trustees are ways your Association can “sharpen the axe” to effectively manage issues facing the Ohio oil and gas producing industry. In a day and age when “trees” continue to grow and sprout up regularly, you need to have a highly talented and trained team to address your issues. The recent additions to our OOGA team add to the array of talented individuals currently working on your behalf. Finally, the only way to effectively win a war is to take your team to the battlefield. Your Association is doing just that.

Indiana Bat Update By: Kristin Watt, Vorys, Sater Seymour and Pease LLP

If you have recently sought any federally issued permits subject to the Endangered Species Act, this summer you

may have noticed there has been a lot of commotion and confusion in the regulated community related to Indiana Bat mist netting surveys in Ohio.

First some background. This past January, the USFWS noticed the availability of new Draft Revised Indiana Bat Summer Survey Guidelines (“Draft Guidelines”). The USFWS were to accept comments until February 8, 2013; on February 8, the USFWS extended the comment period until March 11, 2013. Your Ohio Oil & Gas Association (“Association”) submitted comments to the new Draft Guidelines. The Draft Guidelines were to update previous, 2007 Draft Indiana Bat Summer Survey Guidelines (yes, the 2007 Guidelines were never made final).

In May 2013, the USFWS issued its 2013 Revised Range-Wide Indiana Bat Summer Survey Guidelines (“2013 Guidelines”). (We note the 2013 Guidelines are meant to be applicable only for the 2013 survey season; the USFWS intends to issue new guidelines that will be effective for the 2014 survey season.) There were a couple significant changes between the 2007 and 2013 Guidelines. For instance, under the 2007 Guidelines, once it was determined that a suitable Indiana Bat habitat was present, regulated entities had to assume the presence of Indiana Bats or conduct a mist-net survey to prove the absence of Indiana Bats. The 2013 Guidelines now allow the use of mist-net surveys or acoustic surveys to prove absence. Moreover, while negative mist-net survey results remain valid for a 2 years, the 2013 Guidelines provide that negative acoustic-based surveys can remain valid for 5 years.

The USFWS’s Indiana Bat summer survey period has remained unchanged – it runs from May 15 through August 15. The confusion in Ohio started on May 9, 2013, after the 2013 USFWS Guidelines were issued and just 7 days prior to the start of the commonly understood summer survey period. On May 9, 2013, Ohio Department of Natural Resources (“ODNR”) staff sent an email to Ohio’s permitted

bat biologists stating, among other things, that: (1) Ohio’s summer survey season is June 15 through July 31 – a 50% reduction in the survey period, (2) Ohio’s shortened summer survey period has actually been in effect since 2010, and (3) Ohio will not accept acoustic surveys – as allowed by the new USFWS 2013 Guidelines.

The May 9th ODNR email sent a shock wave through the regulated community as many were unaware of the severely shorted survey season – and were equally surprised to learn that surveys performed during the 2012 USFWS survey window (May 15 – August 15) , but outside Ohio’s survey window (June 15 – July 31) may not be valid. Moreover, surveys that were set to start on May 15, 2013 had to wait a month, until June 15 – setting back many construction calendars.

Regulated entities have not been able to locate any publicly available information on the ODNR webpage indicating any public notice or public announcement of Ohio’s 45 day shortened survey period.

Your Association has been working with other industry groups, including the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, the local Chapter of the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (“NAIOP”) and the Ohio Aggregates & Industrial Minerals Association, to schedule a meeting with ODNR representatives to discuss the multiple complications and hardships related to Ohio’s shortened summer survey period.

The most complicating factor with Ohio’s shortened Indiana Bat summer survey season relates to all of the rain that occurred in late June and early July – which prevented any surveying until drier weather. Many regulated entities were very concerned that they would not be able to finish their summer surveys by the shortened July 31 deadline. On July 15, ONDR staff sent another email indicating that Ohio’s summer survey period would be extended, THIS YEAR ONLY, until August 15.

Your Association will continue to work on this Indiana Bat issue to seek parallel federal and state regulation in Ohio.

Ohio Department of Natural Resources

ODNR Releases New Guidelines for Unitization ApplicationsBy: Brian Hickman

This June, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Oil and Gas Resources Management (ODNR-

DOGRM) released its guidelines to assist those companies applying for a unitization order under Ohio Revised Code Section 1509.28. While the fifteen new guidelines did not change the law, ODNR has stated that the change was necessary to provide clarity and additional information to the current application process.

When applying for a unitization order, the applicant must provide an electronic copy and three hard copies of the application. A non-refundable check for $10,000 must also be submitted per application. Failure to provide any information or documentation may result in a denial of the request.

The fifteen new informational guidelines being requested by the ODNR-DOGRM are as follows:

- Cover letter requesting unitization

- Affidavit stating the applicant is an owner of at least 65% of the land overlying the pool subject to this unitization request

- Summary of the request, including:

• Statement as to why unitization is necessary

• Plan for development of the unit

• Identification of geologic formation (s) to be developed

• Estimated value of the oil and gas recovery from each well in the proposed unit

• Estimated cost to drill and operate a well in the proposed unit

• Designated point of contact for the applicant

- List of all identified unleased mineral owners and their respective acreage (including a corporation or business entity)

- List of all leased or unleased mineral owners in the unit (including a corporation or business entity)

- List of all uncommitted working interest owners in the unit (including a corporation or business entity)

- An 1/1000 scale map that shows:

• The boundary of the proposed unit area

• The proposed location of the well pad and wells

• The tracts of land within the unit that are leased (yellow)


• The tracts of land within the unit that are unleased (red)

• The tracts of land within the unit that are leased to other operators (green)

• A 500 foot boundary around each property in the unit that is not leased by the applicant

• Identification of each tract (by parcel number) within the unit

- An aerial photo of 1/1000 scale that shows:

• The boundary of the proposed unit area

• The proposed location of the well pad and wells

• The unleased tracts of land within the proposed unit

• Identification of each tract (by parcel number) within the unit

- A gamma-ray density log identifying the geological formations proposed to be produced

- A cross-section showing the applicable formations the applicant is proposing to drill and produce within the unit

- A map showing all existing wells (permitted, drilled, or producing) on units adjacent to the proposed unit

- If the applicant has based reserve calculations on other existing wells in the vicinity of the unit, an exhibit

showing the location of the well(s) (identified by permit number and name) to the proposed unit

- An affidavit providing a “detailed account of the attempts to lease the unleased properties”, including:

• Date of all attempts

• Person contacted

• How contact was made

• Who made this contact

• Any joint venture or farmout proposal to another operator (if applicable)

- Copy of a joint operating agreement for working interest partners (if applicable)

- Any additional information that would be beneficial for the Chief to consider

ODNR stressed that these guidelines were needed to clarify the information needed to approve unitization applications.

“My understanding is we wanted to make things clearer by saying, ‘This is what you need’,” stated ODNR spokesman Mark Bruce. “There were hearings when the division chief was saying, ‘I need more information if you want to move forward with this process’. It was dragging things out and these new rules will make the process easier for everyone involved.”

State Budget Bill

Ohio Budget Bill Signed, Enacted Into LawBy: Brian Hickman

On June 27, 2013, the Ohio House of Representatives and the Ohio Senate both agreed to the conference committee

report on Amended Substitute House Bill 59 – the state budget for fiscal years 2014 – 2015. Below is a summary of all relevant discussions and changes to the proposal as it left the conference committee and their impact on the Ohio oil and gas industry.

A proposal to increase the severance tax on oil and gas resources extracted from horizontal wells was removed from the Executive version of the bill. While the tax was not reinserted into the bill by the House or Senate during conference deliberations, Governor Kasich made an effort to gather additional support on the issue prior to conference committee deliberations. The Governor met with several local governments and other entities advocating for a 4.5% severance tax increase (up for the original 4% proposal) with 25% of the proceeds heading back to local entities for their use. The additional 75% would go towards a personal income tax reduction.

For a list of additional changes to Ohio tax law, please see the article written by the OOGA Tax Committee on page 15.

Minor amendments were made to provisions regarding natural occurring radioactive material (NORM) and provisions regarding brine disposal. The NORM amendment accepted during conference committee was only technical in nature. Ohio Revised Code Section 1509.22 (brine disposal) was amended to remove the Safe Drinking Water Act standard as it pertains to water testing. Another amendment would grandfather operations that recycle, treat, process or dispose of brine and other waste substances and are in operation by January 1, 2014 from additional DOGRM permitting requirements (so long as these operations were permitted via the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)).

A provision was inserted as the bill left the Ohio Senate regarding the reporting of oilfield steel tubular goods. The

original amendment required operators to report to ODNR either the country of origin of all tubular goods used in oil and gas production operations or state that the country of origin cannot be identified. The proposal was amended again in conference committee to officially start the program on April 1, 2015. This proposal ended up being very contentious, as the OOGA, V&M Star, Ohio Chamber of Commerce, and the Ohio Petroleum Council all provided letters of concern with adding the proposal to the budget bill. However, the proposal “as amended” remained in the final version of the bill.

The Association continues to have concerns on the proposal as enacted. Discussions have ensued with legislative leaders in an effort to address these concerns and reverse this newly enacted policy.

An amendment was inserted into the budget bill during conference committee that removed the general revenue fund (GRF) appropriation to the Ohio Geological Survey (OGS). The OGS had a total funding decrease of $1.6 million ($800,000 per fiscal year).

Finally, the Governor of the State of Ohio has the ability to line item veto any spending provision included in a state budget bill. The veto power has been extended to include any provision in the state’s budget bill. To this end, Governor Kasich used this authority on 22 items in Amended Substitute House Bill 59. One provision that was vetoed was a provision to allow utility companies a cost recovery mechanism for clean-up costs on old manufacturing plant sites. However, it appears that the wrong language was written into the budget, which provided a larger expansion then originally intended. Hence, the Governor vetoed the language while stating he supports the intent of the proposal.

With the budget bill now behind them, the state legislature will now begin to focus on a comprehensive tax reform package for businesses.

Ohio Senate

Bill to Increase Criminal Penalties for Illegal Brine Disposal Has HearingBy: Brian Hickman

On June 19th, Substitute Senate Bill 46, sponsored by State Senators Frank LaRose (R-Copley) and Joe

Schiavoni (D-Boardman), received a first hearing before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. The bill would increase criminal penalties associated with the illegal disposal of brine and drilling fluids.

As you might have noticed, the bill has already been substantially altered from the “As Introduced” version of the bill. Before the first hearing of the bill, six different version of the legislation were drafted.

Substitute Senate Bill 46 expands the original proposal to delve into other various sections of Ohio oil and gas law. For example, the bill now amends the Ohio Revised Code to state that the Chief of the Division of Oil and Gas Resources Management (DOGRM) may suspend all activities, permits or registrations pertaining to a “material and substantial violation” (MSV) of law. Previous law stated that an MSV must be tied to the alleged incident in question.

Additionally, the Chief of DOGRM may immediately suspend all operations of a company by order (adding injection and brine transportation operations to Ohio law) under two conditions. First, the company has violated a final, nonappealable order of the Chief. Secondly, the company has created an imminent danger to the health or safety of “a person” (changed from “the public”) or the activity is likely to result in “substantial damage” (not “immediate substantial damage”). Together, these language changes would expand the test required by the Chief to suspend or revoke oil and gas permits over all oil and gas operations.

Five days after the chief ’s order, a hearing will be held on the merits of the order. If the Chief determines that the activity still creates a threat or has not been corrected, the Chief may suspend all activities of the owner for a specific period of time or revoke the permit or registration certification associated with the suspension order. This determination is appealed to the oil and gas commission along with the court of common pleas where the activity took place.

The Chief would now also be provided the authority to refuse to issue new permits to the company in question if they have failed to comply with an MSV. This refusal to issue new permits also extends to any court decision that has found the company liable of local road damages or if the person is applying for a permit under a different name or business organization.

The final change required by the substitute bill is a rather substantial one. The bill would require oil and gas companies to register a litany of new information DOGRM. This information includes a list of all “key employees” of the applicant, and a five year history of all consent orders, civil actions, administrative or civil enforcement orders, or criminal actions that the applicant or “key employee” has been involved in. The Chief may then deny a permit application if it is determined that the applicant or key employee has violated federal or state water acts.

In their sponsor testimony, Senators LaRose and Schiavoni identified the intent and scope of the legislation was to crack down on repeat offenders.

“(T)he reality is that history has shown that those who choose to act improperly within this sector tend to repeatedly violate,” read the testimony. “I do want to emphasize that the purpose of this bill is to punish wrongdoers so that law abiding business owners and permit holders can continue to grow and build their businesses in Ohio’s new and exciting oil and gas industry.”

The testimony stated that Senators LaRose and Schiavoni consulted the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA), the office of the Ohio Attorney General, and the office of Governor John Kasich when drafting this legislation.

Currently, the state legislature is on a summer break until September. At this time, it is unknown if Substitute Senate Bill 46 will continue to move forward in the legislative process. However, recent reports to the Association indicate that the ODNR would like to enact some sort of legislation regarding stiffer penalties for illegal brine disposal.


Summary of Significant Ohio Tax Changes in the 2014/2015 Budget BillBy: Tom Giusti and Ron Rowland, OOGA Tax Committee

Governor Kasich signed into law on June 30 Amended Substitute House Bill 59, the state budget for the

2014/2015 biennium. The Bill contains many tax provisions which indicate a trend toward the taxation on consumption rather than income, possibly meeting the objective of making Ohio a friendlier place to do business. Some, but not all, of the provisions that might impact the membership follow:

• Reduction of individual income tax rates of 10% over three years – 8.5% in 2013, .5% in 2014 and 1% in 2015. By 2015, the top marginal rate would be 5.33% on income over $200,000, whereas, the 2012 marginal rate was 5.925%. Other provisions include a non-refundable earned income credit, a phase-out of the $20 personal exemption credit and elimination of the ability for two taxpayers to claim the same person. (Effective beginning in 2013)

• A small business income tax deduction of up to ½ of the first $250,000 of business income attributed to Ohio activities which would equate to a maximum savings of $6666, per year, at the 2015 rate. This provision also applies to owners of interests in pass-through entities (an S corporation or partnership). (Effective beginning in 2013)

• The Commercial Activities Tax(CAT) maintains the current tax rate of .26% and an annual minimum payment of $150 for gross receipts of $150,000 to $1,000,000. The new minimum however is tiered for businesses having gross receipts over $1,000,000. The new minimum based on taxable gross receipts are: $1MM or less, $150; $1MM--$2MM, $800; $2MM -- $4MM, $2100; $4MM+, $2600. (Effective beginning in 2014)

• The bill provides a new motor fuel receipts tax on motor fuel suppliers who no longer are subject to the CAT. However, the new tax is similar to the CAT and is applied only on receipts from the sale of motor fuel at a rate of

.65%. The tax is imposed on the initial sales of fuel made for delivery to a location in Ohio. Tax from the sale of fuel for use to propel vehicles on public roadways and waterways must be used to maintain highways, fund traffic law enforcement and cover hospitalization costs of indigent persons injured in accidents on the public highways. (Effective beginning July 1, 2014)

• The state sales tax rate will increase by .25% to 5.75%. Governor Kasich’s proposals to expand the tax to practically all services and intangible property transactions were not enacted. Indications are that the State will apply for full membership in the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Initiative which will facilitate collections of use tax from remote sellers should the Congress pass the Federal Marketplace Fairness Act (pending in the House after having passed in the Senate). (Effective September 1, 2013)

• The “Homestead” exemption for owner-occupied residential property will be subject to means testing. This change will not apply to those who currently enjoy the exemption. However, new applicants filing after 12/31/2013 and earning more than $30,000, annually, will not be eligible for a $25,000 market value reduction of the residence.

• The Bill will curtail the local property tax rollback which has heretofore been possible due to the State’s having reimbursed the local taxing authority 10% or 12.5% of each eligible taxpayer’s residential or agricultural property tax bill. (Effective for new and replacement levies approved by voters after August, 2013)

• There were no provisions in this Bill amending the Ohio Severance Tax and the formula for valuing mineral properties.


2013 Summer Meeting Draws Beautiful Weather, Big CrowdBy: Mike Chadsey

The annual Summer Meeting held during the week of August 5th at the Zanesville Country Club was a

resounding success with over 400 people in attendance. The two-day event kicked off with an inaugural meeting of the Ohio Oil and Gas Safety Council, with 65 in attendance, to discuss how the industry, in partnership with the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation, can continue to provide high quality occupational safety training opportunities and resources. Mark McCarthy, Poling Law led the conversation.

Afterwards, Golf Flight A started the sports competition with 120 golfers at the Zanesville County Club. The day concluded with the Producers Services Oilfield Patriot Award reception, dinner and award ceremony. Since 2006, the Association has recognized one person each year at the summer meeting for the prestigious award. This person keeps the Ohio oilpatch thriving because of their great efforts to protect, promote and advance the common interests of those engaged in our industry. After a brief video featuring the recipient’s family, friends and coworkers sharing their thoughts and personal stories, the award was presented to Bill Kinney, owner and president of Summit Petroleum. Mr. Kinney is past president of OOGA and currently serves as chairman of the OOGA/Dominion East Ohio Gas Project Review Committee.

The second day of the meeting began with the membership hitting the links, the courts, or the range in picture-perfect weather. Golf Flight B included 136 golfers for a scramble and the Dawson Companies putting contest at Zanesville Country Club. Longaberger Country Club hosted Flight C with 80 golfers in tournament play. Eight tennis players enjoyed the courts at ZCC while 56 shooters headed to the Ken Miller Supply Clay Shoot at Briar Rabbit. Returning to Zanesville

Country Club after a day of competition, attendees were treated to Velvet Ice Cream by Ohio Oil Gathering.

As the day concluded, members enjoyed networking at the membership dinner where awards were presented for the various sports competitions and a raffle. While many took home hardware from the event, the top prizes went to Rodney Musselman for Golf Flight A men’s action and Dora Silvis for Golf Flight A women’s action, while the team of John Van Slyke, Shawn Simmons, Jason Straw and Brendan Melgares won the Golf Flight B scramble. Duane Yoder took home the Low Net for Golf Flight C men’s play while Wendy Driscoll for Golf Flight C women’s play. However the toughest award of the day to pick up was won by Jeremy Caldwell at the SAM Inc., Guess Your Drive competition coming in at 283’3” while guessing 283”. Jack Greene was the winner in the putting contest (in a five way playoff), while Tim Lanzier won the men’s clay tournament downing an impressive 87/100 birds and OOGA’s own Penny Seipel won the women’s clay tournament. The winners in tennis were Paul Gallagher and Mark Freshwater in doubles action. The big raffle prize winners were Jim Rose taking home the 70” television, Bob Cramer leaving with the new iPad, and Steve Munster winning the camera.

The meeting even attracted some media. WHIZ TV interviewed Pete MacKenzie about the newly formed Safety Council and the two-day event. Lastly, a big thank you from the Association to all of our sponsors including our Platinum sponsors: Access Midstream, American Refining Group Inc., Blue Racer Midstream, Chesapeake Energy, Eclipse Resources, Ergon and Producers Services.

IPAA Ranks Top 10 U.S. Oil & Natural Gas RecordsWASHINGTON, DC – The past few years has been an incredible time for America’s independent producers and the entire upstream oil and natural gas industry. The shale revolution, spurred by horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, has propelled the United States to be one of the biggest energy plays in the world. Take a look at some of the most amazing industry records, compiled by the Independent Petroleum Association of America’s economic team, Fred Lawrence and Ron Planting.

U.S. Records in 20121. U.S. crude oil production rose by the largest volume

ever in its history, nearly 850,000 barrels per day, or 14.9 percent. Natural gas liquids production rose by over 180,000 barrels per day, or 8.3 percent. For the first time ever, the combined increase for all liquids exceeded 1 million barrels per day, a 13.1 percent rise. U.S. crude oil production averaged 6.5 million barrels per day, and with natural gas liquids output, total liquids output was the highest since 1991 at 8.9 million barrels per day. (Energy Information Administration)

2. U.S. output of natural gas liquids reached an all-time high. Natural gas liquids output averaged 2.4 million barrels per day, up nearly 40 percent from 2005’s 1.7 million barrels per day. (EIA)

3. U.S. marketed production of natural gas set another all-time record, at 25.3 trillion cubic feet. That was up 34 percent from 2005. (EIA)

4. In just a few years, the U.S. has greatly reduced its reliance on oil imports. In 2005, 60 percent of U.S. oil consumption was supplied by net imports; in 2012 that share dropped to just under 40 percent, the result of increased U.S. production and reduced U.S. consumption. ”In 2005, the US and EU imported similar amounts; in 2012, US net imports were nearly one-third below those of the European Union.” (BP)

5. In just a few years, the U.S. has favorably reversed its trade balance on refined products. In 2005, the U.S. was a net importer of nearly 2.5 million barrels per day of products. In 2012, it was a net exporter of over 1 million barrels per day of products. Gross exports of products exceeded 3 million barrels per day in 2012 for the first time ever. (Energy Information Administration)

6. U.S. proved oil reserves were 26 percent higher than a year ago. “Overall, proved oil reserves were 26 percent higher than a decade ago, and 60 percent higher than in 1992 – despite the production of nearly 600 billion barrels of oil over the past two decades. Proved gas reserves are up 21 percent over the past decade and 59 percent compared to 1992.” (BP)

IPAA Ranks Top 10 U.S. Oil & Natural Gas Records (cont. from page 21)

7. The share of natural gas in U.S. energy consumption has grown faster than for any other energy source in the past two years, while coal’s share has declined the most. U.S. natural gas consumption rose to a record 25.5 trillion cubic feet in 2012, up 5.9 percent from 2010. Compared with 2005, natural gas’s share of total energy has risen from 23.7 percent to 27.3 percent, while coal’s share has fallen from 24.0 percent to 18.3 percent, largely because of displacement of coal by natural gas for electricity generation. (EIA)

8. U.S. consumption of natural gas reached an all-time high of 25.5 trillion cubic feet, while consumption of natural gas liquids was the highest since 2000. Natural gas consumption was up 4.6 percent from 2011’s level. NGL consumption rose close to 1 percent to 2.32 million barrels per day, 4.5 percent below the all-time high of 2.43 million barrels per day reached in 2000.

9. U.S. exports of natural gas reached an all-time high of 1.62 trillion cubic feet, up more than 7 percent from 2011 and double the level of five years earlier. More than 98 percent of these exports were by pipeline to Canada and Mexico, with the remainder exported as LNG to other parts of the world. With declining imports and rising exports, U.S. net imports of natural gas sank to 1.52 trillion cubic feet, the lowest since 1990.

10. Increased demand for U.S. natural gas (a less carbon-intensive fuel for power generation) helped bring about the lowest energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions since 1994. With the exception of 2010, emissions have declined every year since 2007. (EIA)

World Records in 2012• The U.S. had the largest increases for both oil and

natural gas production of any country in the world. “Driven by tight oil growth, US production has expanded by 2 Mb/d over the last five years, the largest increase in the world and twice that of Iraq (1 Mb/d), which accounted for the second largest increment.” (BP)

• The U.S. is the largest producer of natural gas in the world, and third largest oil producer. U.S. oil production is exceeded only by Saudi Arabia and by the Russian Federation. The U.S. has become the largest producer of natural gas in the world when it overtook the Russian Federation in 2009. (BP)


• The Non-OECD accounted for all the net growth in world energy consumption. China and India accounted for 90 percent of the net increase in world energy consumption. “Over the last ten years, global energy consumption increased by 30%, almost all of which outside the OECD. Then, over the last 2 five years, OECD consumption fell – four out of these last five years, to be precise, and in three of these four despite positive GDP growth.” (BP)

• Energy consumption for the OECD declined as it has for four of the past five years. “…the OECD is now back to where it was in 2002 – despite cumulative GDP growth of 26% over that same period.” (BP)

• Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries controlled 72.6 percent of the world’s proved oil reserves (BP). North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico) accounted for 48.2 percent of non-OPEC proved reserves.

International Perspectives:• The IEA forecasts a reduction in the need for OPEC oil

in 2014, even with rising world demand, as U.S. and Canadian output rise 1 million barrels per day. Smaller production increases for some other non-OPEC producing countries are also forecast. (IEA July release). OPEC itself has also forecast (July 2013) a decline in 2014 for the need for OPEC oil with an increase in non-OPEC supplies of 1.1 million barrels per day offsetting a OPEC production decline of 0.3 million barrels per day. (IEA, OPEC)

• It is interesting to note that in their World Oil Outlook, OPEC did not truly recognize the U.S. unconventional revolution until the 2010 issue – “whether shale gas is a ‘game-changer’ remains unclear. However, its potential is undisputed.” In earlier editions, they focused primarily on the impact of U.S. fuel efficiency standards and biofuels and even in the 2011 edition they viewed the Caspian, Brazil and Canada as the main drivers of non-OPEC supply growth. However, in the 2012 edition, they did note that “shale gas has large potential but mainly in the U.S. for now” and noted that “replicating U.S. success internationally requires key challenges including water shortages, lack of infrastructure, higher population densities, shortage of skilled labor and the NIMBY effect.” (OPEC World Oil Outlook)

• The IEA forecasts world natural gas consumption will rise 17 percent between 2012 and 2018, aided by the revolution in shale gas production. It forecasts that the U.S. alone will account for over one-fifth of the worldwide increase in gas production, “benefiting from technological developments and cost-efficient field services.” The IEA also noted that the U.S. could become “the world’s biggest producer in a decade” and “the exploitation of ‘unconventional’ fossil fuels represented the biggest redrawing of the energy map for decades.” (IEA)

• Russia’s view on the U.S. shale revolution has transformed from denial to skepticism. Putin originally denounced shale for ‘costing too much and ruining the environment’ while the head of Gazprom described the shale revolution as a ‘myth’ and ‘a bubble that will burst soon.’ Now, with more numbers to back up the sustainability of shale and tight oil, Putin admits that there may indeed be a ‘real shale revolution’ after all and he is monitoring the situation carefully and has urged Russia’s energy companies to ‘rise to the challenge’ of shale. (The Economist) Given the dependence of Europe on Russian natural gas (and oil) and the rising sensitivities to energy security from Poland to the U.K., the Russian interpretation of the U.S. unconventional revolution and export policies bears further study. Meanwhile, EIA has put Russia at the top of its list of countries with technically recoverable shale oil resources.

OIL AND GAS REVENUE DISTRIBUTION SERVICESaccurate, consistent and on time, every time


Introducing the Ohio Oil & Gas Safety Council By: Peter MacKenzie

The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation contacted OOGA to ask if we would consider sponsoring

an industry specific Safety Council. The OOGA Safety Committee took this proposal, investigated the program and ultimately determined that the functional goals aligned well with the mission, purpose and intentions of the Safety Committee. The Committee made a recommendation to the Executive Committee which advanced the proposal to the full Board of Trustees, who approved the formation of the Ohio Oil & Gas Safety Council.

The Ohio Oil & Gas Safety Council (OOGSC) has been formed as a not for profit organization formed in 2013 by the Ohio Oil & Gas Association (OOGA) in collaboration with the Ohio Oil & Gas Energy Education Program (OOGEEP) and the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation (OhioBWC) Division of Safety & Hygiene (DSH).

The OOGSC will strive to provide regular high quality occupational safety training opportunities and safety resources for members to promote an industry culture of health and safety awareness and environmental stewardship with the explicit intent of a continuous reduction of occurrences and severity of workplace injuries. Interestingly, research has shown that participation in Safety Councils reduces the incidence rate and severity of Workers’ Compensation claims compared to non-participants.

The Annual Membership Fee for the OOGSC is $120 per company and reserves one seat (and meal) at each monthly meeting. Guests and additional attendees from member companies are encouraged to attend, however they may be charged a nominal fee to cover the cost of the venue and meal at the event. The meetings will typically be 7:30 am breakfast meeting held on the second Wednesday of each month, initially at the Cambridge Country Club.

Participation in the OOGA Workers’ Compensation rating program is not a requirement for membership. Membership with OOGA is not required to be membership. There is no

limit to the number of Safety Councils that a company can belong to (although OhioBWC reporting will flow through only one Council).

Employers who pay premiums or administrative fees to the Ohio BWC may be eligible to earn a 2 to 4% rebate on their workers’ compensation premium for active participation in the safety council. Membership in the Safety Council is open throughout the year to all companies, however the deadline for plan year participation is July 31st.

A website is currently being developed at www.oogsc.org, which will be to go-to portal for information regarding the Council, its activities, and resources.

For now, see more at: http://ooga.org/oogsc/about-us-2/#sthash.Py3zKya3.dpuf

The next Ohio Oil & Gas Safety Council Meeting will be at 7:30am, September, 11th, 2013 at the Cambridge Country Club, 60755 Southgate Rd, Byesville, OH 43723. Sarah Ghezzi, CSP, is an Industrial Safety Consultant Specialist for the OhioBWC and will be presenting on “Safety Resources for the Oil/Gas Industry.”

The inaugural Ohio Oil & Gas Safety Council meeting opened the 2013 Summer Meeting with a presentation by Mark McCarthy, Poling Law titled “Workers’ Compensation, Breaking Through the Confusion” to a room of 65 attendees.

Ohio Oil Gathering LLC, A Subsidiary of Crosstex Energy, Celebrates Reactivation of Black Run Rail Terminal for Export of Utica Shale Production

MarkWest Energy Partners Reports Record Second Quarter Results and Announces Plans to form a Joint Venture with Kinder Morgan to Support Northern Ohio Rich-Gas Development and NGL Pipeline to Gulf Coast

Ohio Oil Gathering, a subsidiary of Crosstex Energy, L.P. (NASDAQ: XTEX), recently celebrated the reactivation of the company’s Black Run rail terminal by hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony on July 17, 2013 at the Ohio Oil Gathering regional office in Frazeysburg, OH.

The Black Run rail terminal is the first facility to move light oil condensate out of the region to refinery and petrochemical markets. The state-of-the-art rail loading terminal is located on the Ohio Central Railroad allowing the export of Utica Shale light oil condensate production. The facility includes a 20-car rail rack with tracking gangways designed to top load multiple products, including light oil condensate and various grades of crude oil, at a rate of 24,000 barrels per day. The Black Run terminal, which is adjacent to the company’s oil gathering pipeline, will leverage existing tankage and piping, as well as the capabilities of its extensive truck fleet in the Ohio River Valley to take advantage of continued growth in the Utica region.

The company is investing heavily in midstream development as Utica shale production ramps up. To date, the company’s investments include the 2012 acquisition of Clearfield Energy, the recent formation of E2 Energy Services focused on condensate stabilization and natural gas compression, and upgrades to existing storage facilities, trucking operations and brine disposal services.

(NYSE: MWE) (the Partnership) today reported record quarterly cash available for distribution to common unitholders, or distributable cash flow (DCF), of $128.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, and $238.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. DCF for the three months ended June 30, 2013 represents 108 percent coverage of the second quarter distribution of $118.4 million or $0.84 per common unit, which will be paid to unitholders on August 14, 2013. The second quarter 2013 distribution represents an increase of $0.01 per common unit or 1.2 percent over the first quarter 2013 distribution and an increase of $0.04 per common unit or 5.0 percent compared to the second quarter 2012 distribution. As a Master Limited Partnership, cash distributions to common unitholders are largely determined based on DCF. A reconciliation of DCF to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is provided within the financial tables of this press release.

The Partnership reported Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, of $156.1 million and

$296.5 million, respectively, as compared to $121.9 million and $275.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The Partnership believes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information because it is commonly used by investors in Master Limited Partnerships to assess financial performance and operating results of ongoing business operations. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is provided within the financial tables of this press release.

The Partnership reported income before provision for income tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, of $101.8 million and $87.2 million, respectively. Income before provision for income tax includes non-cash gains associated with the change in fair value of derivative instruments of $37.3 million and $46.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, a gain of $38.2 million related to the divestiture of gathering assets in the Marcellus Shale for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and a loss associated with the redemption of debt of $38.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Excluding these items, income before provision for income tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 would have been $26.3 million and $41.2 million, respectively.

“Our full-service midstream model and commitment to delivering exceptional customer service continues to deliver record volumes and financial performance,” said Frank Semple, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are excited to announce new strategic opportunities and growth projects throughout our core operating areas, which continue to support the ongoing success of our producer customers.”

Kinder Morgan, MarkWest Utica EMG Announce Plans to Form Joint Venture to Support Northern Ohio Rich-Gas Development and NGL Takeaway from the Utica and Marcellus Shale Resource Plays

Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: KMP) (Kinder Morgan), and MarkWest Utica EMG, L.L.C. (MarkWest Utica EMG), a joint venture between MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: MWE) (MarkWest) and The Energy and Minerals Group (EMG) today announced they have signed a letter of intent to form a midstream joint venture (JV) to pursue two critical new projects to support producers in the Utica and Marcellus shales in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The first project consists of the development of a 400 million-

cubic-foot-per-day (MMcf/d) cryogenic processing complex in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, utilizing an existing, 220-acre site that Kinder Morgan has under option. The second project consists of the development of an initial, 200,000 barrels-per-day (bpd), C2+ natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline that originates at the planned JV processing facilities in Ohio and transports NGLs to Gulf Coast fractionation facilities.




Kinder Morgan, MarkWest Utica EMG Announce Plans to Form Joint Venture to Support Northern Ohio Rich-Gas Development and NGL Takeaway from the Utica and Marcellus Shale Resource Plays (cont.)

Key elements of the processing complex project include:

• MarkWest Utica EMG would anchor the JV’s first of two planned 200 MMcf/d cryogenic processing plants to be constructed on Kinder Morgan’s existing 220-acre site in Tuscarawas County, Ohio (JV processing complex). The JV would expect the initial 200 MMcf/d cryogenic processing plant to be in service by the fourth quarter of 2014 with the second 200 MMcf/d plant in-service shortly thereafter, subject to timing of customer commitments. The existing 220-acre site is expandable and could accommodate more than 1 billion cubic feet per day of processing capacity;

• MarkWest Utica EMG would deliver rich-gas volumes to the JV processing complex through an extension of its existing rich-gas gathering system in Harrison, Belmont, Guernsey, Noble and Monroe counties in Ohio. The JV processing complex would provide MarkWest Utica EMG’s producer customers with additional residue outlets into the Tennessee Gas Pipeline and Dominion Transmission pipeline systems;

• The JV processing complex would serve new customers in Carroll, Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties in northern Ohio and provide a critical full-service solution, which includes gas processing, NGL transportation and fractionation and residue gas outlets;

• To deliver the northern Utica gas to the processing complex, Kinder Morgan has obtained regulatory approval to convert a portion of an existing 26-inch Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C. pipeline into rich-gas gathering service, which could begin receiving rich-gas by the fourth quarter of 2014;

• The JV would construct a new pipeline to deliver NGLs produced at the JV processing complex into MarkWest and MarkWest Utica EMG’s extensive NGL gathering network for short-term and long-term fractionation at its Ohio and Pennsylvania fractionation and marketing complexes;

• The JV would own the processing complex on a 50-50 basis and MarkWest Utica EMG would operate the facilities;

Key elements of the NGL pipeline project include:

• Kinder Morgan and MarkWest Utica EMG will develop a NGL pipeline project from the tailgate of the JV processing complex to Gulf Coast fractionation facilities through the conversion of over 900 miles of Kinder Morgan’s 24-inch and 26-inch Tennessee Gas Pipeline system currently in natural gas service from Tuscarawas County, Ohio to Natchitoches, La., and the construction of approximately 200 miles of new NGL pipeline from Natchitoches to Mont Belvieu, Tex., and/or south Louisiana. Kinder Morgan and MarkWest Utica EMG are evaluating constructing new fractionation facilities, as well as utilizing third-party fractionation facilities throughout the Gulf Coast;

• The proposed NGL pipeline would access MarkWest and MarkWest Utica EMG’s extensive NGL pipeline network that extends throughout the rich-gas areas of the Marcellus and southern Utica to deliver NGLs to the new NGL pipeline;

• By converting over 900 miles of existing Tennessee Gas Pipeline assets and utilizing MarkWest and MarkWest Utica EMG’s existing NGL network, the JV parties believe their NGL pipeline is best positioned to provide the most cost effective Y-grade outlet from the Utica and Marcellus shale plays to the Gulf Coast area markets;

• The NGL pipeline would be expandable to 400,000 bpd with the addition of pump stations;

• Subject to sufficient shipper commitments, permitting and all related regulatory approvals, a fourth quarter 2015 in-service date for the NGL pipeline is anticipated.

• Kinder Morgan would own at least 75 percent of the NGL pipeline and MarkWest Utica EMG would have the option to invest up to 25 percent. Kinder Morgan would operate the pipeline.

“We are pleased to announce this exciting joint venture with MarkWest in the Utica and Marcellus shale resource plays,” said Kinder Morgan Chairman and CEO Richard D. Kinder. “The combination of Kinder Morgan’s strategically located and existing pipeline assets that traverse through the heart of the Utica and Marcellus shale plays, along with MarkWest’s



existing and significant midstream footprint throughout the Utica and Marcellus shale plays, should provide significant growth opportunities for the JV.”

“We are excited to partner with Kinder Morgan in this unique opportunity that supports the development of industry-leading midstream solutions,” said MarkWest Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Frank Semple. “The JV processing complex expands our footprint into northern Ohio and complements our existing full-service midstream infrastructure in Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. The planned joint venture Y-grade pipeline will be by far the most efficient project for the Marcellus and Utica producers to access the Gulf Coast NGL markets and is another critical step in support of our long-term objective of providing our producer customers with multiple market options and maximum value for their natural gas and natural gas liquid production.”
