Methodology and Accuracy
Information in this report is from a combination of publicly available databases, company press releases, news reports, and in-house proprietary information. While
every effort was made to ensure the accuracy of the data, readers should be advised that there are no assurances of 100 percent accuracy. Information provided is only
as accurate and comprehensive as the source documents. Maps found throughout the document provide pictures of data, that independently, show themes divided by
county, state, or region, depending on the subject. At times, multiple “layers” are displayed in a single map to provide context where one layer might have impact or
relate to another. Maps have been produced from the ShaleNavigator web-based mapping system and the Select Analytics desktop mapping programs.

5. Section I - Overview
DRILLING UPDATE: JUL-DEC 2012
The Mighty Marcellus Roars – The Utica Grows Up
The second half of 2012 saw an acceleration of the trends that
began in the first half of the year. As we stated in Databook
Volume 2, perhaps we should have seen it coming, but we
didn’t. The “it” was the collapse of the commodity price for
natural gas. The spot price for natural gas sank to an average
$1.95 per million Btus in April. By the end of the year it had
rebounded to $3.34 MMbtus (see the chart at right).
In a near-perfect commodity market like natural gas, when
supplies outstrip demand, prices for the commodity fall, and
that’s just what we saw in 2012 (see Databook Volume 2 for an
explanation of natural gas supply and demand economics). As
recently as June 2011, the commodity price for natural gas
stood at $4.54 MMbtus. Energy producers are less willing to
drill when the price is at a level where profits are small or non-
existent. Gas storage and pipeline company Spectra Energy
estimates the “breakeven price” which drillers need to receive
just to stay in the black is $4.26 MMbtus for drilling in the
central Marcellus region, and $3.44 MMbtus in the less-
expensive-to-drill area of northeastern PA. Energy consulting
firm Enercom pegs the average breakeven number for the
entire Marcellus at $2.88 MMbtus. Only the drillers
themselves know the real breakeven price—it’s different for
each driller (and a closely guarded secret they don’t share).
When the price started heading lower in the latter half of 2011,
it took a few months but we eventually saw rig counts—an
indication of willingness to drill—go steadily down for the first
nine months of 2012 (see the rig count chart at right).
However, rig counts seemed to have reached their low point in
September and since then have steadily inched up. One notable
event related to rig counts is that near the end of the year
Ohio’s rig count passed that of West Virginia—the first time
that’s happened in years, thanks to the white hot Utica Shale.

6. Section I - Overview
SPECIAL: 2012 Ohio Well Production Results
Unfortunately the Ohio Dept. of Natural Resources (ODNR) only requires annual reporting for production results. The first real official insight we will
have into how productive (or not) the Utica Shale is for natural gas will be in March 2013. However, ahead of that, the Databook has collected what we
know about Ohio production from press statements issued by the producers themselves. Below is that table. Well locations are mapped on the next page.

7. Section I - Overview
GUIDE TO USING THE COUNTY MAPS
#1 – The municipality or
operator name is followed by
two sets of numbers, with the
second number in parentheses.
Example: Plumcreek – 4 (3).
The first number - “4” in this
case - shows the total number of
permits issued. The second
number - “(3)” in this case -
indicates how many wells the
permits were issued for. Usually
a single well requires several
permits during drilling, to allow
the driller to continue to the
next stage.
#2 – A purple dot indicates
where a well pad is located.
Each well pad can have from
one to ten wells on it. Typically a
pad will contain 2-4 wells.
Because of the size of the maps
(vastly reduced to show an
entire county), sometimes the
purple dots will be “on top of
each other” and sometimes will
not be labeled with a driller’s
name.
#3 – The boundary of each
county is indicated with a blue
outline. County names are also
in the same blue color.
#4 – Major gas pipelines are indicated with red lines and the name of the pipeline somewhere along the line.
#5 – NEW in Volume 3! The location for pipeline compressor stations is indicated by a green triangle–the name is next to it.
