FOREWARD
It is with a great sense of pride that I present the fourth edition of the West Virginia Oil
and Natural Gas Association (WVONGA) Gas Fact's 2010. As was the case in the past, this
publication documents the vital role that the oil and natural gas industry provides to the
nation and the residents of West Virginia. I hope you find this clear and concise resource an
important component in your energy library. In compiling this information I would like to
give special thanks to all of the people in the industry, including regulators, operators, and
legislators and the staff at WVONGA for making this publication available.
As we enter the next decade we find West Virginia and America as a whole at a critical
crossroads with respect to its energy future. As each year of energy dependence passes, it
becomes apparent that the State of the Union is inextricably linked to our energy
independence. No longer can we tolerate the volatile swings in oil and gas prices that force us
to intervene in international conflicts and force our vital industries overseas in search of
energy price stability. And although we all embrace free market principles, none of us want
to relive the devastation in the economy that occurs when demand far exceeds supply or supply
greatly outstrips demand; especially, when the volatility comes at the hand of misguided
regulation or self fulfilling political or legal interest.
As we stand on the precipice of an unconventional resource boom not seen in Appalachia since
the energy, chemical, steel, and glass booms that proliferated during and after World War II,
one question looms large. Will we choose the road to prosperity and promote this opportunity
through innovative technological, regulatory, and judicial reform or will we choose a familiar,
less contentious and even serendipitous road that renders us no more than spectators? Many
challenges lie on the horizon but opportunity lurks in the solutions. We must convince the
general population that hydraulic fracturing is safe and that we will be good stewards of the
water resources required to extract the energy. As the chemical industry was born in the
Kanawha, Ohio, and Monongahela River Valleys manufacturing the value added products from
the natural gas liquids, we must again provide proper regulatory, legal and financial incentive
to resurrect those industries from the slow demise that has occurred during the last 30 years.
Even more important, we must seek out novel markets using technology to ensure that there is
sufficient financial reward to justify the expense of extraction. I know that you will join me
and our members in embracing this challenge and reaping the benefits for West Virginia and
the Nation while at the same time restoring confidence in American ingenuity.

Deepest wells drilled in the State:
Calhoun 2503 at 20,222', drilled in 1974 by

Exxon USA
Mingo 805 at 19,600', drilled in 1973 by

Columbia Gas Transmission
Lincoln 1469 at 19,124', drilled in 1974 by

Exxon USA
Number of counties with oil and gas wells:

Wells have been drilled in 53 of the States 55
counties; the only two counties with no oil or gas
wells are Berkeley and Jefferson counties in the
eastern panhandle.
How long has oil and gas been drilled in

West Virginia? Where can I find some
historical information about the oil and
gas industry in the State?
We have seen published illustrations of drilling and

production activity in the Burning Springs area of
Wirt County from the late 1850s. Information on
the history of the development of the oil and gas
industry in West Virginia, with comments on its
importance during the Civil War, is available. An
excellent resource on the history of the development
of the industry in the State is the Surveys
Petroleum and Natural Gas, Precise
Levels, a 1904 Survey publication (Volume- 1A)
by then-Director I.C. White, which also describes
the development of the tools used for drilling by the
salt industry in the Kanawha Valley.
For more information on the history of oil and gas
business in West Virginia, see the book Where It
All Began.

Downhole Fate
Some stays in formation while remainder returns with
natural formation water as "produced water" (actual
amounts returned vary from well to well)
Stays in formation, embedded in fractures (used to "prop"
fractures open)
Combines with the "breaker" in the formation thus making it
much easier for the fluid to flow to the borehole and return
in produced water.
Remains in the formation where temperature and exposure
to the "breaker" allows it to be broken down and consumed
by naturally occuring micro-organisms. A small amount
returns with produced water.
Reacts with minerals present in the formation to create
salts, water, and carbon dioxide.
Reacts with micro-organisms that may be present in the
treatment fluid and formation. These micro-organisms
break down the product with a small amount of the product
returning in produced water.
Product attaches to the formation downhole. The majority of
product returns with produced water while remaining reacts
with micro-organisms that break down and consume the
product.
Reacts with the "crosslinker" and "gel" once in the formation
making it easier for the fluid to flow to the borehole.
Reaction produces ammonia and sulfate salts which are
returned in produced water.
Bonds to metal surfaces (pipe) downhole. Any remaining
product not bonded is broken down by micro-organisms and
consumed or returned in produced water.
Combines with the "breaker" in the formation to create salts
that are returned in produced water.
Reacts with minerals in the formation to create simple salts,
carbon dioxide and water all of which are returned in
produced water.
Reacts with clays in the formation through a sodium potassium ion exchange. Reaction results in sodium
chloride (table salt) which is returned in produced water.
Reacts with acidic agents in the treatment fluid to maintain
a neutral (non-acidic, non-alkaline) pH. Reaction results in
mineral salts, water and carbon dioxide which is returned in
produced water.
Generally returned with produced water, but in some
formations may enter the gas stream and return in the
produced natural gas.

BCF Billion Cubic Feet. Gas measurement approximately equal to one trillion (1,000,000,000,000) Btus.
British Thermal Unit (BTU) The Btu is a unit of measurement for energy. It represents the amount of heat that is
necessary to raise the temperature of one pound of water by 1 degree, Fahrenheit.
Casing A casing is used to line the walls of a gas well to prevent collapse of the well, and also to protect the
surrounding earth and rock layers from being contaminated by petroleum, or the drilling fluids.
Coal Bed Methane Prior to the mid-1980, methane from coal seams was classified as an uneconomic resource one
of vast potential, but low value due to poor recovery rate and high associated water production. By applying new
production technologies to this resource, coal bed methane has become the single largest new source of gas supply in
the past decade. Current estimates show approximately 100 Tcf of coal bed methane that appears to be economically
recoverable in the lower 48 states alone.
CNG Compressed natural gas.
Co-Firing Refers to the injection of natural gas with pulverized coal or oil into the primary combustion zone of a boiler.
Cofiring is not new technology, but efforts to determine optimal natural gas injection levels for both environmental and
operational benefits are relatively recent. Co-firing only produces a mild increase in production costs, but benefits plants
by offering cleaner overall operation. Slag that builds up inside boilers is reduced, and precipitators, which capture soot
and ash from coal or oil firing, foul up less frequently.
Compression Natural gas is compressed during transportation and storage. The standard pressure that gas volumes
are measured at is 14.7 Pounds per Square inch (psi). When being transported through pipelines, and whcn being stored,
gas is compressed to save space. Pipelines have compressing stations installed along the line (one about every 100
miles) to ensure that the gas pressure is held high while the gas is being transported. Current pipelines can compress
natural gas to nearly 1500 psi, but most tend to operate at closer to 1000 psi.
Cubic Foot A unit of measurement for volume. It represents an area one foot long, by one foot wide, by one foot deep.
Natural gas is measured in cubic feet, but the measurements are usually expressed in terms of Bcf, Tcf, Mcf or Quads.
FERC Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The federal agency that regulates interstate gas pipelines and interstate
gas sales under the Natural Gas Act. Successor to the Federal Power Commission, the FERC is considered an
independent regulatory agency responsible primarily to Congress, but it is housed in the Department of Energy.
Firm Service Contract A type of contracted service where the distributor agrees to provide the buyer with uninterrupted
supply of gas. This type of contract is usually more expensive, and is used primarily by those firms who cannot afford to
risk loss of fuel for any period of time.
Flaring The burning of gas in the field as a means of disposal when there is no market for the gas and the operator
cannot use the gas for a non-wasteful purpose.
Flash point The temperature and other conditions at which a given substance will ignite.
41 Formation A formation refers to either a certain layer of the earths crust, or a certain area of a layer. It often refers to
the area of rock where a petroleum reservoir is located.
Fracturing Fracturing refers to a method used by producers to extract more natural gas from a well by opening up rock
formations using hydraulic or explosive force. Advanced fracturing techniques are enhancing producers ability to find and
recover natural gas, as well as extending the longevity of older wells.
Futures market A market trading in contracts to buy or sell oil at a fixed price by a certain date.
Gathering lines Pipes used to transport oil or gas from the wellhead to the next destination.
Gathering system The gathering lines, pumps, auxiliary tanks and all other equipment used to transport oil or gas from
the wellhead.
Hydrocarbon An organic compound containing only carbon and hydrogen. Hydrocarbons often occur in petroleum
products, natural gas and coals.
Hydrochlorofluorocarbons - Hydrochlorofluorocarbons, or HCFCs to most, are gaseous compounds that meet current
environmental standards for minimizing stratospheric ozone depletion.
Horizontal Drilling Horizontal Drilling, heralded today as causing the greatest change in the industry since the
invention of the rotary bit, is the most rapidly growing movement in the petroleum industry. Essentially, in addition to the
vertical shaft in an oil or gas well, special equipment allows producers to extend horizontal shafts into areas that could not
otherwise be reached. This technique is especially useful in offshore drilling, where one platform may service many
horizontal shafts, thus increasing efficiency. Horizontal wells can be categorized as short (extending only 20-40ft from
vertical), medium (300-700ft from vertical) or long (1000 4500ft from vertical) radius. The larger radius wells are typically
found offshore.
Injection well A well employed for the disposal of salt water produced with oil or other waste.
Interruptible Service Interruptible service contracts allow a distributing party to temporarily suspend delivery of gas to a
buyer in order to meet the demands of customers who purchased firm service. Interruptible service is less expensive than
firm service, and is used by customers who can either accommodate interruption, or switch to alternative fuels
temporarily.
Just and Resonable Rates Requirement of section 4(a) of the Natural Gas Act that rates be set at the lowest
reasonable level that recovers a pipelines costs. The rates must not be unduly discriminatory, preferential or otherwise
unlawful.
Landman Employed by an oil or gas company to oversee landowner relations. A landmans duties would include, but
not be limited to: securing of leases, lease amendments, pooling and unitization agreements and title defects.
Line loss The amount of gas lose in the distribution system.
LNG Liquefied Natural Gas.
Local Distribution Company A retail gas distribution company that delivers natural gas to end users.
MCF Thousand Cubic Feet MCF stands for one thousand cubic feet. Its a unit of measure that is more commonly
used in the low volume sectors of the gas industry, such as stripper well production.
Methane Methane, commonly known as natural gas (or CH4 to a scientist), is the most common hydrocarbon gas. It is
colorless and naturally odorless, and burns efficiently without many byproducts. Natural gas only has an odor when it
enters your home because the local distributor who sells it to you adds it as a safety measure.
Most Efficient Recovery (MER) The MER, or most efficient recovery rate, is based on the most oil and gas that can be
extracted for a sustained period of time without harming the formation. Generally, most wells cannot produce oil and gas
for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, or the rock formation could be damaged, which would result in less oil and gas being
produced in the long run.
Muds Used in drilling to lubricate the drilling bit in rotary drilling rigs. These fluids cool the bit, remove cuttings and
debris, and coat the wellbore with a cake. Most fluids have a clay base, and are customized for the specific formations
that are encountered at a given site. The cake that forms from the fluids serves to coat the walls of the wellbore until a
steel casing can be put in place to prevent collapse.
Natural Gas Act The Natural Gas Act was passed in 1938, giving the Federal Power Commission (now the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission or FERC) jurisdiction over companies engaged in interstate sale or transportation of
natural gas. The act instituted federal oversight of rates charged by interstate gas-transmission companies, and also
limited certification authority. Nobody was allowed to build an interstate pipeline to deliver gas into a market already
served by another gas pipeline without first obtaining a Federal Power Commission certificate.
Natural Gas Resource Base An estimate of the amount of natural gas available, based on the combination of proved
reserves, and those additional volumes that have not yet been discovered, but are estimated to be discoverable given
current technology and economics. Current estimates for the resource base in the lower 48 states range from 900 to
1,300 Tcf.
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Acid deposition, commonly called acid rain, occurs when sulfur dioxide (SO2) and, to a lesser
extent, NOx emissions are transformed in the atmosphere and return to the earth as dry deposition or in rain, fog or snow.
Highway vehicles autos, trucks and buses account for nearly 30 percent of all NOx and non-methane hydrocarbons
emitted annually in the United States. Burning any fossil fuel produces NOx, and it is difficult to generalize with respect to
the relative NOx emissions of the various fuel types for different applications. However, the substitution of new high
efficiency gas equipment can offer significant NOx reductions, relative to older and less-efficient equipment. For example,
replacing a coal-fired electricity-generating unit with a new gas-fired combined-cycle unit can reduce NOx by some 95
percent.

2010 Gas Facts
Off Peak Period The period of time during a day, week, month or year when gas use on a particular system is not at its
maximum.
Oil patch refers to an area where there is substantial oil and gas exploration and development operations.
Peak Use Period The period of time when gas use on a particular system is at its maximum. This is the period when
gas supply is most likely to be suspended for interruptible service customers. Distributors also employ techniques such as
peak shaving to soften the impacts of high demand on the pipelines.
Permeability Permeability is the measure of how easily a fluid can pass through a section of rock. If fluid can pass
relatively easily through a given layer, then the permeability is said to be high. However, if a layer effectively blocks fluids,
or no fluids can flow through the layer at all, then the layer is said to be impermeable. Such layers are known as traps.
Producer a natural gas producer is generally involved in exploration, drilling and refinement of natural gas. There are
independent producers, as well as integrated producers, which are generally larger companies that produce, transport
and distribute natural gas.
Proved Resources The part of the Natural Gas Resource Base that includes the working inventory of natural gas
volumes that have already been discovered and are readily available for production and delivery. Out of an estimated 900
to 1,300 Tcf of gas in the resource base in the lower 48 states, about 155 Tcf are proved resources.
Reburning Natural gas reburning is an effective and economic means of reducing NOx emissions from all types of
industrial and electric utility boilers. Gas reburn may be used in coal or oil boilers, and it is even effective in cyclone and
wet-bottom boilers, for which other forms of NOx control are either not available or very expensive. A reburn application
which entails the injection of natural gas into a coal-fired boiler above the primary combustion zone representing 10 to
200 percent of the total fuel mix can produce NOx reduction in the 50 to 70 percent range and SO2 reductions in the 20
to 25 percent range.
Separator Tank These tanks are usually located at the well site. They are used to separate oil, gas and water before
sending each off to be processed at different locations.
Spot Market A product of deregulation, the spot market is a method of contract purchasing whereby commitments by
the buyer and seller are of a short duration at a single volume price. The duration of these contracts is typically less than a
month, and the complexity of the contracts is significantly less than their traditional market counterparts.
Spot Purchase Natural gas purchased on the spot market, which involves short-term contracts for specified amount of
gas, at a one-time purchase price.
Stripper Wells Stripper wells are natural gas wells that produce less than 60,000 cubic feet of gas per day. Ohio, West
Virginia, Texas, Kentucky and New Mexico all have significant numbers of stripper wells. In 1994 there were 159,369
stripper wells in the United States, and they produced 940,420,777 Mcf.
Trillion Cubic Feet A volume measurement of natural gas, approximately equivalent to one Quad. See also Btus, Bcf,
Mcf.
Unbundled Services Unbundling, or separating, pipeline transmission, sales and storage devices, along with
guaranteeing open access to space on the pipelines for all gas shippers. Also see Bundled Service.
Underground Gas Storage The use of sub-surface facilities for storing gas that has been transferred from its original
location for the primary purpose of load balancing. The facilities are usually natural geological reservoirs, such as
depleted oil or gas fields or water-bearing sands on the top by an impermeable cap rock. There are currently more than
400 underground storage facilities spread across 27 states and Canada, which together can hold more than 3 quads of
gas.
Wellhead The assembly of fittings, valves and controls located at the surface and connected to the flow lines, tubing
and casing of the well so as to control the flow from the reservoir.
Wellhead Price The cost of oil or gas as it comes from the well, excluding cleaning, compression, transportation and
distribution charges.
Wheeling In the natural gas industry, wheeling refers to the movement of gas in and out of short-term storage at hubs.
Zone rates Rates designed to reflect the variation in pipeline costs based on distance between supply and delivery
points.
