EXPERT INSIGHT

Regulatory  Political Climate
“Outside of the U.S., there is no oil production growth. What’s going on in
the U.S. is miraculous.”
2014 INSIGHTS
David Pursell, Managing Director  Head of Securities, Tudor, Pickering, Holt  Co.
• THERE CAN BE NO LNG EXPORTS WITHOUT HYDRAULIC FRACTURING: It’s been suggested that
the U.S. use LNG exports to project power globally, but that supply is simply not possible with-
out hydraulic fracturing. Allowing natural gas exports and fracturing are regulations that go
hand in hand.
• MARCELLUS, UTICA AND EAGLE FORD ARE THE KEY: All basins outside of Marcellus, Utica and
Eagle Ford are in decline – but in a $5 gas world, those basins don’t need to grow. The three key
basins will show significant enough growth through the end of the decade to support exports.
• HYDRAULIC FRACTURING SAVED THE U.S. INDUSTRIAL SECTOR: With natural gas prices at $4 in
the U.S., compared to $12 in Europe or $16 in Japan, U.S. manufacturing has a distinct advan-
tage. Steel, glass, paper – any number of industries benefit from low gas and power prices.
• OIL PRICES ARE HIGH BECAUSE THE GLOBAL MARKET IS TIGHT: The market is not oversupplied,
as some analysts suggest. Inventories are actually near ten-year lows, and the U.S. is the only
place in the non-OPEC world where oil production is growing.
• WHEN WE CAN’T EXPORT CRUDE, BIG OIL WINS: With a surplus of light, sweet crude in the
U.S., domestic supplies will be priced significantly lower than the global market, meaning
a loss for oil producers. The winners will be refiners like Shell, BP and Exxon – “Big Oil.”
As Managing Director and Head of Securities, David Pursell is responsible
for TPH’s analysis of global oil  gas markets, including inventory and price
forecasts, supply/demand modeling and rig count/production relation-
ships. He is a board member of private energy companies Oxane Materi-
als and Unconventional Gas Resources. He holds a BS and MS in Petroleum
Engineering from Texas AM University.

EXPERTINSIGHT
Capital  Technology:
Shaping the Future of Energy
“Shale plays are secular, not cyclical; their economic impact is huge;
and they will last a generation or longer.”
2014 INSIGHTS
Thomas Bates, Co-Chair Energy MBA Advisory Board, Neeley School of Business, TCU
• UNCONVENTIONAL PLAYS HAVE HAD A MASSIVE ECONOMIC IMPACT: Depending on which
economist you listen to, the economic impact of shale in the U.S. is between $500 billion
and $700 billion annually. They probably contributed 3.5% to the U.S. GDP last year and
will generate more than 3.9 million new jobs.
• LOW NATURAL GAS PRICES ARE A BIG WIN FOR AMERICAN CONSUMERS: Low gas prices and
electric power prices benefit residential, commercial and industrial markets. In fact, high
domestic production and low prices delivered an estimated $250 billion annual benefit
to the American consumer.
• U.S. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: PLENTY OF CHEAP NATURAL GAS: We have a potential 150-
year supply of natural gas in this country, which can be produced for 75% less than the
cost we currently pay for imported crude oil. This is a structural, long-term competitive
advantage for our nation’s economy.
• AS OUR OIL IMPORTS GO DOWN, CHINA’S GO UP: Domestic oil production is up 60% in only 6
years – and total imports have dropped from 13 million barrels a day to 7 million. Meanwhile,
China moved from importing virtually no oil in the mid-1990s to 6 million barrels a day last year.
• BECAUSE OF SHALE, WE COULD BECOME ENERGY INDEPENDENT: If through improved mileage
standards and substitution of CNG and LNG for gasoline and diesel we could drop con-
sumption of oil derivatives in the transportation market from 12 million to 6 million barrels
a day. We would then drop to 1 million barrels a day imported and would be virtually
energy independent!.
Tom Bates has more than 25 years of experience in oil service management
and operations. He serves on the boards of directors of Hercules Offshore,
TETRA Technologies, Southwest Oilfield Products, Independence Contract
Drilling and Wellflex Energy Solutions. He is Adjunct Professor of Finance
and co-chair of the Energy MBA Advisory Board at the Neeley School of
Business at Texas Christian University. Tom received the 1995 University
of Houston/American Society of Engineers OTC Award for outstanding
leadership and citizenship.

EXPERTINSIGHT
Global Markets:
A Manufacturer’s Perspective
“What we’re seeing is the renaissance in technology for land drilling.
Companies that don’t keep up with the curve are going to struggle
in years to come.”
2014 INSIGHTS
Paul DeWeese, CEO, Southwest Oilfield Products
• TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES MEAN FEWER RIGS, MORE OIL AND GAS: Technology like pad
drilling, walking rigs, AC rigs and improved mud pump systems mean faster, more efficient
drilling. Fewer rigs are able to drill more feet and ultimately discover more oil and gas.
• CHINA IS KEEPING U.S. MANUFACTURING ON ITS TOES: Because of increased ease of
transport and long-term relationships with U.S. companies, China is putting heavy
pressure on U.S. manufacturing companies to stay competitive. Manufacturing is a
heavy-hitting, contact sport.
• THE BIG CREW CHANGE ADDS SERIOUS HURDLES: With many of the best employees in the
industry retiring out of the business, companies are in dire need of good, young talent.
The cost and unavailability of talent makes many critical positions a challenge to fill.
• COMPARATIVELY INEXPENSIVE LAND RIGS MAY HURT OFFSHORE MARKET: Due to lower
operating cost, U.S. land rigs have a significant cost-advantage versus offshore rigs.
While the global offshore market is currently strong, we may see a downtick in rig count
offshore over time.
• STABILITY OF A MARKET IS KEY: The political and currency stability of Asia has made it
a solid market, while Latin American markets like Venezuela and Argentina are only
lukewarm now because of uncertainty and instability in politics and economy.
Paul DeWeese has more than 18 years’ experience in the oil and gas field
services industry, running both public and private equity-backed companies
headquartered domestically and internationally. He is the CEO of Southwest
Oilfield Products, a domestic, US-based leader of pump and well service
equipment production, and an OEM manufacturer of frac pumps, and
mud pump fluid ends and consumables. Paul holds a Bachelor in Business
Administration from Regis University and an MBA from the University of Michigan.

  • 6. EXPERT INSIGHT 55 Regulatory Political Climate “Outside of the U.S., there is no oil production growth. What’s going on in the U.S. is miraculous.” 2014 INSIGHTS David Pursell, Managing Director Head of Securities, Tudor, Pickering, Holt Co. • THERE CAN BE NO LNG EXPORTS WITHOUT HYDRAULIC FRACTURING: It’s been suggested that the U.S. use LNG exports to project power globally, but that supply is simply not possible with- out hydraulic fracturing. Allowing natural gas exports and fracturing are regulations that go hand in hand. • MARCELLUS, UTICA AND EAGLE FORD ARE THE KEY: All basins outside of Marcellus, Utica and Eagle Ford are in decline – but in a $5 gas world, those basins don’t need to grow. The three key basins will show significant enough growth through the end of the decade to support exports. • HYDRAULIC FRACTURING SAVED THE U.S. INDUSTRIAL SECTOR: With natural gas prices at $4 in the U.S., compared to $12 in Europe or $16 in Japan, U.S. manufacturing has a distinct advan- tage. Steel, glass, paper – any number of industries benefit from low gas and power prices. • OIL PRICES ARE HIGH BECAUSE THE GLOBAL MARKET IS TIGHT: The market is not oversupplied, as some analysts suggest. Inventories are actually near ten-year lows, and the U.S. is the only place in the non-OPEC world where oil production is growing. • WHEN WE CAN’T EXPORT CRUDE, BIG OIL WINS: With a surplus of light, sweet crude in the U.S., domestic supplies will be priced significantly lower than the global market, meaning a loss for oil producers. The winners will be refiners like Shell, BP and Exxon – “Big Oil.” As Managing Director and Head of Securities, David Pursell is responsible for TPH’s analysis of global oil gas markets, including inventory and price forecasts, supply/demand modeling and rig count/production relation- ships. He is a board member of private energy companies Oxane Materi- als and Unconventional Gas Resources. He holds a BS and MS in Petroleum Engineering from Texas AM University.
  • 7. 6 EXPERTINSIGHT Capital Technology: Shaping the Future of Energy “Shale plays are secular, not cyclical; their economic impact is huge; and they will last a generation or longer.” 2014 INSIGHTS Thomas Bates, Co-Chair Energy MBA Advisory Board, Neeley School of Business, TCU • UNCONVENTIONAL PLAYS HAVE HAD A MASSIVE ECONOMIC IMPACT: Depending on which economist you listen to, the economic impact of shale in the U.S. is between $500 billion and $700 billion annually. They probably contributed 3.5% to the U.S. GDP last year and will generate more than 3.9 million new jobs. • LOW NATURAL GAS PRICES ARE A BIG WIN FOR AMERICAN CONSUMERS: Low gas prices and electric power prices benefit residential, commercial and industrial markets. In fact, high domestic production and low prices delivered an estimated $250 billion annual benefit to the American consumer. • U.S. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: PLENTY OF CHEAP NATURAL GAS: We have a potential 150- year supply of natural gas in this country, which can be produced for 75% less than the cost we currently pay for imported crude oil. This is a structural, long-term competitive advantage for our nation’s economy. • AS OUR OIL IMPORTS GO DOWN, CHINA’S GO UP: Domestic oil production is up 60% in only 6 years – and total imports have dropped from 13 million barrels a day to 7 million. Meanwhile, China moved from importing virtually no oil in the mid-1990s to 6 million barrels a day last year. • BECAUSE OF SHALE, WE COULD BECOME ENERGY INDEPENDENT: If through improved mileage standards and substitution of CNG and LNG for gasoline and diesel we could drop con- sumption of oil derivatives in the transportation market from 12 million to 6 million barrels a day. We would then drop to 1 million barrels a day imported and would be virtually energy independent!. Tom Bates has more than 25 years of experience in oil service management and operations. He serves on the boards of directors of Hercules Offshore, TETRA Technologies, Southwest Oilfield Products, Independence Contract Drilling and Wellflex Energy Solutions. He is Adjunct Professor of Finance and co-chair of the Energy MBA Advisory Board at the Neeley School of Business at Texas Christian University. Tom received the 1995 University of Houston/American Society of Engineers OTC Award for outstanding leadership and citizenship.
  • 8. 7 EXPERTINSIGHT Global Markets: A Manufacturer’s Perspective “What we’re seeing is the renaissance in technology for land drilling. Companies that don’t keep up with the curve are going to struggle in years to come.” 2014 INSIGHTS Paul DeWeese, CEO, Southwest Oilfield Products • TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES MEAN FEWER RIGS, MORE OIL AND GAS: Technology like pad drilling, walking rigs, AC rigs and improved mud pump systems mean faster, more efficient drilling. Fewer rigs are able to drill more feet and ultimately discover more oil and gas. • CHINA IS KEEPING U.S. MANUFACTURING ON ITS TOES: Because of increased ease of transport and long-term relationships with U.S. companies, China is putting heavy pressure on U.S. manufacturing companies to stay competitive. Manufacturing is a heavy-hitting, contact sport. • THE BIG CREW CHANGE ADDS SERIOUS HURDLES: With many of the best employees in the industry retiring out of the business, companies are in dire need of good, young talent. The cost and unavailability of talent makes many critical positions a challenge to fill. • COMPARATIVELY INEXPENSIVE LAND RIGS MAY HURT OFFSHORE MARKET: Due to lower operating cost, U.S. land rigs have a significant cost-advantage versus offshore rigs. While the global offshore market is currently strong, we may see a downtick in rig count offshore over time. • STABILITY OF A MARKET IS KEY: The political and currency stability of Asia has made it a solid market, while Latin American markets like Venezuela and Argentina are only lukewarm now because of uncertainty and instability in politics and economy. Paul DeWeese has more than 18 years’ experience in the oil and gas field services industry, running both public and private equity-backed companies headquartered domestically and internationally. He is the CEO of Southwest Oilfield Products, a domestic, US-based leader of pump and well service equipment production, and an OEM manufacturer of frac pumps, and mud pump fluid ends and consumables. Paul holds a Bachelor in Business Administration from Regis University and an MBA from the University of Michigan.
