“The Economics Of Chemical Handling In Shale Gas Water Management”3pm-4.30pm, November 18, 2014

Led by

The approach to successful frac pit water remediation first begins with a fundamental understanding of frac pit ecology. This workshop focuses on the comprehensive content and remediation of chemical and biological components in flowback/recycled water that exist in dynamic frac pit environments. This session will cover

application, chemical handling and economics of shale gas water management.

Flex-Chem invites you to learn optimal water remediation techniques specifically focused on pit environments for the reduction of:

• SRB (Sulfate Reducing Bacteria)• TSS (Total Suspended Solids)• Iron Sulfide• Organic Loadings• H2S• Guar Content

STATES WITH MOST REPORTED HYDRAULIC FRACTURING ACTIVITY BY WATER STRESS

S O U T H E R N S T A T E S

Hydraulic fracturing is on the rise in the water stressed regions of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas. Rapidly growing plays including the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford, and Woodford are creating extra demand for water, in addition to maturing plays such as the Barnett, Fayetteville, and Haynesville. The average well in these plays is estimated at up to 4.5 million gallons water consumption, 28 percent of wells are located in areas facing high or extremely high water stress. Nearly half of the wells hydraulically fractured in the Southern States since 2011 were in regions with high or extremely high water stress, and over 55 percent were in areas experiencing drought.

All this means that it is more vital than ever that operators develop region and play-specific water reuse, recycling, treatment, sourcing, storage and disposal for these Southern State plays.

To provide up-to-the-minute solutions to these challenges, the 5th Annual Shale Play Water Management - Southern States 2014 congress, will be returning to Dallas this November. As the only operator-led community examining water reuse, treatment, sourcing, storage, and disposal options for E&Ps working in the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford, Barnett, Haynesville, Fayetteville, and Woodford plays, this year’s edition will feature a totally redesigned agenda and revamped speakers line-up based on work done in the last few months.

Over 20 leading experts from E&P companies and relevant government entities will share their experiences and expertise in optimizing water management strategies within the state-specific regulatory frameworks. With a completely updated agenda for 2014 based on what operators stated as their main learning focus, we are looking at facilitating a constructive knowledge-exchange aimed at providing solutions not at outlining challenges.

With Day 1 centered around water recycling and reuse, water treatment and storage options and Day 2 examining water disposal, sourcing and sharing options for shale play water management, we will dive into what strategies and technologies allow minimizing the costs of shale play water management in the Southern States.

Venue Information:

WHAT MAKES THIS CONGRSS UNIQUE?

1 100% OPERATOR LED: This is the only shale water management congress which

is 100% led by E&Ps. Whereas other events

are led by external technology vendors, this

congress is the only established community

specifically for operators to discuss their own

water management strategies

2 TRACK RECORD: Now in its 5th year, this is the first and by far the longest running

shale water management congress with a track

record of attendance from every leading E&P in

the region

3 COST-REDUCTION FOCUS: With cost being the key issue on all operators’ minds, every

session on the agenda is linked to a practical

strategy for tangibly reducing the cost of water

usage in shale production

4 LEVEL OF TECHNICAL DETAIL: The agenda is written by E&Ps it has a

technical depth unseen elsewhere, covering

every crucial detail of water management

from chloride, bacteria, and metals removal,

to designing and locating frac pits, utilizing

alternative water sources, transferring water

via polyethylene pipes and cost-effectively

disposing of salt water

5 PLAY SPECIFIC FOCUS: Every case study from this year’s congress is drawn from

work done in the Eagle Ford, Permian Basin,

Woodford, Barnett, Fayetteville, and Haynesville

to ensure the solutions speak directly to the

unique challenges faced by operators in the

Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma
