A RURAL CORRIDOR OF NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE

The north-south movement of goods and persons through the nine-state Ports-to-Plains Alliance Corridor relies on an existing 2,333-mile network of mostly two-lane highways. These highways are a part of the National Highway System. Moreover, in recognition of the importance of this corridor, its entire length--from the Mexico border to the Canadian border--has been designated by federal law as National Highway System High Priority Corridors: the Ports-to-Plains Corridor (#38), the Heartland Expressway (#14), the Theodore Roosevelt Expressway (#58), and the Camino Real Corridor (#27). Unfortunately, the existing north-south highway network in our corridor is inadequate to meet the current and future needs of the region and the nation and faces a number of significant challenges: The corridor needs greater capacity to carry the growing levels of traffic and commerce.

• Our corridor runs through 4 of the top 8 farm states that produce $23 billion of agricultural goods, or 19.5% of all U.S. agriculture products. The food produced in this region is destined for cities and towns throughout the United States. Truck movements along the corridor, which will grow significantly in the future, are a critical part of the agricultural distribution network.

• Our corridor also serves 7 of the top 10 oil producing states and 5 of the top 6 natural gas producing states. Development of these traditional energy resources, which are essential to our nation’s energy security, is booming up and down the corridor. This is putting tremendous pressure on the north-south highway network. For example, developing just one oil well requires an estimated 2,300 truck movements.

• Our corridor serves the top 6 nationwide and 8 of the top 10 installed wind generation states,

generating over 6,000 MW, or nearly 77.8 percent of the U.S. total. A single wind tower requires 126 trucks for major parts, including the crane, concrete or rebar. One planned wind farm in West Texas would install more than 2,600 towers, and put more than 21,000 trucks and 42,000 pilot cars on the highways in and out of the site. Developing the growing renewable energy industry is critical to our national security and economic growth. This energy generated in our corridor will feed into the national grid benefitting all Americans.

• Our corridor serves 27.6 percent of the Nation’s ethanol refining capacity. Production of renewable fuels is expected to increase significantly over the coming decades, putting additional stress on the corridor’s transportation network. Again, the ethanol produced in our corridor will benefit all Americans.

• Our corridor is home to some of our most popular national parks. The travel and tourism

associated with these parks is growing, putting additional traffic on the corridor’s highway network. The result has been seasonal bottlenecks and “hot spots” leading to these parks.

• Our corridor is also feeling the effects of increased international trade with Canada and Mexico.

We are a major U.S. trading region, generating $280.4 billion in trade with Canada and Mexico, nearly 25.4% of total U.S.-North America trade. Much of this trade results in freight movement up and down the corridor, including spillover traffic from heavily-congested parallel corridors.

• The bottom line: To promote economic security and prosperity throughout America's energy and

agricultural heartland, the north-south highway network in our corridor must be upgraded and modernized.

The corridor must be modernized to safely accommodate today’s trucks.

• The two-lane highways that make up most of the existing north-south network in the corridor are simply not designed to carry the number of trucks, especially heavy trucks, currently being experienced up and down the corridor.

• Moreover, these roads are not geometrically designed to accommodate large trucks, especially

the trucks carrying energy-related equipment.

The corridor must be upgraded to keep U.S. agriculture competitive.

• The crops produced by the farms along the corridor are a key international export. Canada is the leading destination for agricultural exports, followed by Mexico. With expected growth in United States and world populations, assisting the competitiveness of U.S. agriculture is vitally important.

The corridor must have greater connectivity for its communities.

• The two-lane, antiquated highways in the corridor have resulted in a lack of adequate connectivity, which is impeding the potential for economic growth in the region. This region needs a four-lane modern north-south highway.

• A modern, efficient and safe transportation facility will promote economic development in a

region of the country that has the highest rate of population loss over the last decade and ensure that America’s heartland and its communities are connected to America.

The corridor must be safe.

• From a safety perspective, the current situation on the north-south highway in the corridor is unsatisfactory. The mix of vehicles travelling up and down the corridor is frightening: large agricultural vehicles, oversized flatbeds carrying wind turbine components, local residents heading to work or school, heavy trucks serving the energy-extraction industries, out-of-state visitors from across America heading to the national parks, and trucks carrying international freight to or from Canada or Mexico. And all of this on two-lane, narrow roads that were not designed for this type of traffic or these types of vehicles.

• Accidents will be significantly reduced on current two-lane segments of the corridor when they are upgraded to four-lane-divided highway. Rural roads are dangerous and improving them saves lives. Each year, more than 42,000 Americans are killed and nearly 3 million are injured on our nation’s roadways. The total economic cost of these crashes exceeds $230 billion annually.

• Unfortunately, nearly 60 percent of highway fatalities typically occur on two-lane rural roads.

When adjusted for vehicle miles traveled, according to the GAO, some rural roads have a fatality rate over six times greater than urban interstates. These facts are extremely troubling since only 40 percent of all vehicle miles are traveled on two-lane rural roads.

A STRONG FEDERAL ROLE

The Ports-to-Plains Alliance supports modernizing our Nation’s surface transportation network, including the upgrading of multi-state rural highway corridors, to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Given the urgency and magnitude of this undertaking, it is imperative that the Federal Government be the strong partner that it has been in the past. From the First Congress' support of lighthouses, buoys and public piers to make navigation "easy and safe;" to Henry Clay's support for internal improvements; to President Lincoln's support for the transcontinental railroad; to President Teddy Roosevelt's support of the Panama Canal; to President Franklin Roosevelt's support for a cross-country, high-level road system; to President Eisenhower's support of the Interstate Highway System and the Federal Highway Trust Fund; and to President Reagan's support for increased motor fuel user fees to preserve and modernize the Federal-aid highway network; the Federal Government has been instrumental in the development of our Nation's surface transportation system. This system unifies our country by providing for the easy movement of people and goods. As President Eisenhower noted, without it, "we would be a mere alliance of many separate parts.” The Federal Government must provide the leadership and resources to help preserve and modernize the national surface transportation network for the 21st century.

PORTS-TO-PLAINS RECOMMENDATIONS

With the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) set to expire on September 30, 2014, the 113th Congress will need to reauthorize the program by that date. While we recognize that much of the reauthorization work will take place next year, we offer at this time our thoughts on the direction that the reauthorization should take. Recommendation #1: Aggressive Oversight of MAP-21 MAP-21 made many important policy reforms. The cumulative impact of these reforms were intended to give states greater flexibility to address priority needs on the national surface transportation network and allow them to deliver projects more efficiently and more quickly. The Ports-to-Plains Alliance supports aggressive congressional oversight to ensure that the Administration implements MAP-21 in accordance with congressional intent and that increased state flexibility does not undermine investment in the national surface transportation network, especially multi-state rural corridors. Recommendation #2: Fix the Highway Trust Fund There is a looming Highway Trust Fund deficit. The challenge will be to develop a long-term fix for the Trust Fund that provides a stable, adequate revenue stream sufficient to facilitate the modern, efficient, and safe national surface transportation system that America needs. In Roll Call, House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster described the challenge as follows:

With the Highway Trust Fund facing its own version of a fiscal cliff in the coming years, we must find a way to pay for transportation improvements without borrowing from our children. We cannot borrow our way to a better future. We must work together, listen to all ideas and opinions, and build a consensus on what is best for America and our future prosperity.

The Ports-to-Plains Alliance agrees. Forging a consensus on a long-term solution is critical. Recommendation #3: Increase Overall Investment It is not enough to simply make the Highway Trust Fund solvent. Virtually every study, including studies by two bipartisan national commissions established by Congress, has concluded that there must be a significant increase in investment from the federal, state, and local governments, as well as the private sector. Recognizing that preserving and upgrading our national transportation infrastructure will be costly, we support significantly increased transportation investment and continued user financing through the Highway Trust Fund. We agree that a consensus must be forged on the best way pay for the increased investment. We are prepared to support a reasonable solution that addresses the needs of rural transportation corridors like the Ports-to-Plains Corridor in a fair and equitable manner.

7

Recommendation #4: Focus Resources to Achieve Network Benefits The Federal program should go back to its roots by focusing its resources on upgrading our national highway system on a network basis. There is no greater example of the benefits that can accrue to the Nation from system-wide transportation improvements than the Interstate Highway System. It is a big reason why America is as prosperous as it is today. The challenge for the future will be upgrading the key portions of the National Highway System, including rural freight/energy corridors, to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. This would require sustained, adequate investment that produces network effects, as opposed to ad hoc local improvements. The investment should raise the productivity of the system as a whole, as was the case with the Interstate Highway System. The Interstate Construction Program, built on a federal-state partnership and a cost-to-complete basis, could serve as a model.

Recommendation #5: Ensure Focused Resources For Critical Rural Freight/Energy Corridors Rural freight corridors, especially rural corridors that are critical to energy development, like the Ports-to-Plains Alliance Corridor, must be a key focus of the next reauthorization bill. This could be accomplished in a number of ways:

• A cost-to-complete type of system-wide improvement program as discussed above; • A separate freight highway program, with adequate resources set aside for rural freight/energy

corridors; or • A targeted rural freight/energy corridor investment program backed up by adequate resources.

To the extent the next bill relies on innovative financing (PPPs, tolling, pricing, enhanced-credit facilities), it is important to remember that these options do not generally help rural corridors. Most of these options require that the project generate a revenue stream (usually tolls) to repay the investment, which is not an option in most rural corridors. Therefore, to the extent the bill gives urban areas increased financing flexibility, it should also take steps to require that states give priority to rural corridors in obligating its federal highway grants.

Fact Sheet

1220 L Street, NW | Washington, DC 20005-4070 www.api.org

Oil and natural gas taxes and “subsidies” The U.S. oil and natural gas industry does not receive “subsidized” payments from the government to produce oil and gas. However, there are many provisions in the tax code that allow companies to recover their costs. The oil and gas industry are eligible for these deductions, which are similar to, if not the same as, deductions available to many other industries. Tax deductions should in no way be confused with subsidies. A fundamental pillar of the U.S. income tax system is that businesses are taxed only on net income. This means that there needs to be some practical and fair method for businesses to recover costs. The policies underlying cost recovery provisions in the tax code legitimately utilized by the oil and natural gas industry are no different than those for any other industry, and are necessary to insure that our industry is treated no differently than any other. In fact, deductions allowed for the U.S. oil and natural gas industry are often more restrictive when

compared with other industries. For example, Section 199 (the manufacturing tax deduction), which

some in Congress have proposed eliminating just for the oil and gas industry, is already one-third lower

on a percentage basis than for other industries.

Here are the facts about industry taxes and “subsidies”:

In 2009, according to the Compustat North American Database, U.S. oil and natural gas

companies paid income taxes at an effective rate (48.4 percent) that was 70 percent higher than

the effective rate (28.1 percent) of the S&P Industrial companies.

U.S. oil and gas companies pay on average almost $100 million every single day to the federal

treasury in rents, royalties, and lease payments – these do not include excise tax payments.

U.S. Energy Information Administration data show the major U.S. oil and natural gas producers

paid $300 billion in income taxes between 2004 and 2008. This does not include another $60

billion in production, sales, use, property and other non-income taxes or $350 billion in excise

taxes paid on petroleum products.

In 2008, 2009, and 2010, Congress has provided over $65 billion in grants, credits, and other

taxpayer subsidized incentives to renewable energy and conservation programs.

The oil and natural gas industry supports more than 9.2 million U.S. jobs, contributes 7.5% to GDP, supplies most of the nation’s energy, invests hundreds of billions in new energy projects annually – all while paying our fair share of taxes. For more information, visit www.api.org/policy/tax.

Energy Fact Sheet There Is a Fundamental Difference Between a Subsidy and a Deduction • In order to have an honest and fully informed debate about the future of energy tax policy, it’s

important to accurately portray the tax treatments in question. • The provisions targeted are not, in fact, subsidies. They are standard business accounting practices

and deductions created in the hopes of making American companies more effective, economical, and competitive. To paint provisions like dual capacity or Section 199 as “subsidies” is factually inaccurate and misleading.

• A subsidy is characterized by a direct payment from the government to a company in hopes of propping it up or otherwise boosting its prospects, as has been done with the solar industry.

• A deduction, however, is in place to assure that an American firm is taxed only on its real income. Such provisions enable businesses to write off legitimate expenses and calculate tax liability based on net income, as opposed to revenue.

• Both businesses and individuals routinely employ this method. • As lawmakers seek to take the ax to “subsidies” throughout the tax code, it is critical that they

recognize the damage that can be done by incorrectly utilizing the term.

Oil and Gas Is the Lifeblood of the American Economy

• Lawmakers must avoid any tax changes that disadvantage a single industry – let alone one so vital to the American economy.

• The oil and gas industry supports more than 9.2 million American jobs and counting. o In 2011, the industry accounted for 148,000 new jobs. o That number represents nine percent of the total number of new jobs created in the U.S. – across

all sectors – for the year. • Oil and gas is investing heavily in the future of the American economy – and is doing so at a rate far

beyond that of most other industries. o According to the Progressive Policy Institute, oil and gas companies invested more than $36

billion in the American economy in 2011 alone – enough to be labeled one of the group’s “Investment Heroes.”

The Economic Consequences of Increased Taxes on Oil and Gas Are Severe

• Increasing taxes on the oil and gas industry would trigger significant negative repercussions for the American economy. o According to Professor Joseph Mason of LSU, the repeal of Section 199 and dual capacity

provisions would result in 155,000 lost jobs and $341 billion in lost economic output.

11

• Repealing these provisions will increase energy costs for American consumers already struggling with the lingering problem of high gas prices.

• Tax proposals in circulation would impact only American companies while leaving state-run foreign competitors – like Hugo Chavez’s CITGO or China’s CNOOC – unscathed. o The competitive disadvantage created by such policy would serve as a de facto subsidy for

foreign firms at the expense of American companies. • Repealing provisions for the oil and gas industry would reduce the industry’s ability to compete and

invest domestically, ultimately resulting in less incoming revenue for the Treasury. o The tax hikes would result in an $83.5 billion reduction in long-term incoming revenue – far

beyond the approximately $30 billion that the proposals seek to generate. • Lawmakers need to recognize the counter-productive nature of efforts to increase taxes on the oil

and gas industry.

Increasing Taxes on the Oil and Gas Industry Does Not Constitute Tax Fairness

• Tax fairness cannot be accomplished when so many are focused on policies that punish a single industry.

• Calls to hike taxes on oil and gas are predicated upon the assumption that the companies in question are not carrying their fair share of the burden under the current structure. Nothing could be further from the truth. In reality, the oil and gas industry pays its fair share – and a great deal more. o ExxonMobil has paid three dollars in taxes for every one dollar in profits since 1999 – more

than $1 trillion versus $352 billion in profits. o In 2011 the reported tax burdens of the five major oil and gas companies added up to $95 billion

for the year, or $261 million per day. o The oil and gas industry pays an average tax rate of more than 41 percent. The rest of the S&P

industrial average pays just 26.5 percent. • Efforts to tax oil and gas based on assertions of fairness are, therefore, either ill-informed or

disingenuous.

Tax Reform Is Happening. Let’s Do It Right.

• Reforming our tax code is no small task, and it won’t be accomplished quickly. But the terms of the debate are already being set. Actions taken today will frame the discussion for tomorrow.

• Reform negotiations must be focused across-the-board on policy that accomplishes the goals of simplifying the law, broadening the tax base, stabilizing our deficit and assuring that the U.S. remains a desirable place to do business.

• Targeting one industry is contrary to these goals, and will leave us even worse off than we were when we started.

The documentary Gasland has attracted wide attention. Among other things, it alleges that the hydraulic fracturing of oil and gas wells has contaminated nearby water wells with methane in a number of states including Colorado. Because an informed public debate on hydraulic fracturing depends on accurate information, the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) would like to correct several errors in the film’s portrayal of the Colorado incidents.

Background

Methane is a natural hydrocarbon gas that is flammable and explosive in certain concentrations. It is produced either by bacteria or by geologic processes involving heat and pressure. Biogenic methane is created by the decomposition of organic material through fermentation, as is commonly seen in wetlands, or by the chemical reduction of carbon dioxide. It is found in some shallow, water-bearing geologic formations, into which water wells are sometimes completed. Thermogenic methane is created by the thermal decomposition of buried organic material. It is found in rocks buried deeper within the earth and is produced by drilling an oil and gas well and hydraulically fracturing the rocks that contain the gas. In Colorado, thermogenic methane is generally associated with oil and gas development, while biogenic methane is not. The analytical methods use to differentiate between the two types of methane are well-known, scientifically accepted, and summarized in a well-known presentation by Dennis Coleman and papers by I.R. Kaplan and Dennis Coleman. These works, in turn, cites nearly 75 other references related to the topics of methane generation, “fingerprinting,” forensic investigations, and stable isotope geochemistry. Based upon our review of hundreds of Colorado gas samples over many years, the COGCC is able to differentiate between biogenic and thermogenic methane using both stable isotope analysis of the methane and compositional analysis of the gas. In the Denver-Julesburg and Piceance Basins, the COGCC has consistently found that biogenic gas contains only methane and a very small amount of ethane, while thermogenic gas contains not just methane and ethane but also heavier hydrocarbons such as propane, butane, pentane, and hexanes. As explained below, Gasland incorrectly attributes several cases of water well contamination in Colorado to oil and gas development when our investigations determined that the wells in question contained biogenic methane that is not attributable to such development.

The Weld County Wells

Gasland features three Weld County landowners, Mike Markham, Renee McClure, and Aimee Ellsworth, whose water wells were allegedly contaminated by oil and gas development. The COGCC investigated complaints from all three landowners in 2008 and 2009, and we issued written reports summarizing our findings on each. We concluded that Aimee Ellsworth’s well contained a mixture of biogenic and thermogenic methane that was in part attributable to oil and gas development, and Mrs. Ellsworth and an operator reached a settlement in that case.

However, using the same investigative techniques, we concluded that Mike Markham’s and Renee McClure’s wells contained biogenic gas that was not related to oil and gas activity. Unfortunately, Gasland does not mention our McClure finding and dismisses our Markham finding out of hand.

The Markham and McClure water wells are both located in the Denver-Julesburg Basin in Weld County. They and other water wells in this area draw water from the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer, which is composed of interbedded sandstones, shales, and coals. Indeed, the water well completion report for Mr. Markham’s well shows that it penetrated at least four different coal beds. The occurrence of methane in the coals of the Laramie Formation has been well documented in numerous publications by the Colorado Geological Survey, the United States Geological Survey, and the Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists dating back more than 30 years. For example, a 1976 publication by the Colorado Division of Water Resources states that the aquifer contains “troublesome amounts of . . . methane.” A 1983 publication by the United States Geological Survey similarly states that “[m]ethane-rich gas commonly occurs in ground water in the Denver Basin, southern Weld County, Colorado.” And a 2001 report by the Colorado Geological Survey discusses the methane potential of this formation and cites approximately 30 publications on this subject.

Laboratory analysis confirmed that the Markham and McClure wells contained biogenic methane typical of gas that is naturally found in the coals of the Laramie–Fox Hills Aquifer. This determination was based on a stable isotope analysis, which effectively “finger-printed” the gas as biogenic, as well as a gas composition analysis, which indicated that heavier hydrocarbons associated with thermogenic gas were absent. In addition, water samples from the wells were analyzed for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX), which are constituents of the hydrocarbons produced by oil and gas wells in the area. The absence of any BTEX compounds in these water samples provided additional evidence that oil and gas activity did not contaminate the Markham and McClure wells. The COGCC has also reviewed the records for all oil and gas wells located within one-half mile of the Markham and McClure wells, which is more than double the typical hydraulic fracture length in Colorado. This review indicated that: all oil and gas wells near the Markham well were drilled and hydraulically fractured in 1991, except for two wells that were fractured in 2005 and 2006, respectively; and all oil and gas wells near the McClure well were drilled and hydraulically fractured in 2002, except for one well that was hydraulically fractured in 2005. The records do not reflect any pressure failures or other problems associated with these wells that would indicate a loss of fracture fluid or gas from the well bore into the surrounding geologic formations. In support of its thesis that the Markham and McClure water wells were contaminated by oil and gas development, the Gasland website makes several arguments that merit a brief response. First, the website quotes Professor Anthony Ingraffea of Cornell University for the proposition that drilling and hydraulic fracturing could cause biogenic methane to migrate into aquifers under certain circumstances. However, Professor Ingraffea’s statement does not suggest that these circumstances apply to the Markham and McClure wells, nor does it address the extensive scientific literature establishing that biogenic methane is naturally present in the aquifer in question. Second, the website quotes Weston Wilson, an Environmental Protection Agency employee, speculating that oil and gas operators in Weld County are withdrawing large amounts of groundwater and that these withdrawals are releasing biogenic methane. However, oil and gas companies in Weld County obtain most of their water from municipalities, which obtain such water from surface water sources such as the Colorado-Big Thompson and Windy

14

Gap projects. Finally, the website asserts that the water in the Markham and McClure wells deteriorated after drilling and hydraulic fracturing occurred nearby. However, COGCC records indicate little or no temporal relationship between the Markham and McClure complaints and nearby drilling and hydraulic fracturing activities, which occurred several years earlier and in most cases many years earlier.

The West Divide Creek Seeps

Gasland also addresses complaints about oil and gas activity in the West Divide Creek area of the Piceance Basin in Garfield County, though it again confuses issues related to biogenic gas with those related to thermogenic gas. The film focuses on two seeps that are in close geographic proximity but derive from different origins. One of the seeps occurs in a wetland on property owned by Lisa Bracken, who appears in the film; it contains biogenic methane. The other seep, which the COGCC terms the West Divide Creek gas seep, is about 1,500 feet to the south on property owned by a neighbor; it contains thermogenic methane caused by EnCana’s failure to properly cement a natural gas well. Gasland adopts the claim that the West Divide Creek gas seep was caused by hydraulic fracturing. After investigating the matter thoroughly in 2004, COGCC staff concluded the seep was caused by gas migrating up a gas well borehole that had not been properly cemented and in which the upper portion of the gas bearing Williams Fork Formation had not been isolated. On August 16, 2004, following a public hearing, the COGCC commissioners approved an enforcement order (Order 1V-276) that incorporated the staff’s causation conclusions and assessed a substantial fine against the operator. In investigating the West Divide gas seep, the COGCC determined that it contains thermogenic methane. The gas composition and stable isotope signature of the gas closely matched that of the gas being produced from the Williams Fork Formation. The gas from both the West Divide Creek seep and the Williams Fork Formation is composed primarily of methane, but it also contains ethane, propane, butane, pentane, and hexanes. In addition, BTEX compounds were detected in ground and surface water in the vicinity of the West Divide Creek seep, which indicates that the gas is related to oil and gas activities and not of biogenic origin. In contrast, the laboratory results for the gas samples collected from the seep on Ms. Bracken’s property have demonstrated that the gas is biogenic. The COGCC has collected nine gas samples on six different occasions during 2004, 2007, 2009, and 2010. With respect to each sample, the gas composition was found to be 100 percent methane, no heavier hydrocarbon compound was detected, and the stable isotope ratio indicated that the gas is biogenic. The COGCC has also collected six water samples on four different occasions during 2004, 2007, and 2009 and ten soil samples on multiple occasions during 2008 and 2009 from Ms. Bracken’s property. BTEX compounds and/or other hydrocarbons associated with oil and gas operations were not detected in any of these samples. Based on these results, the COGCC has concluded that the gas seep on Ms. Bracken’s property resulted from the fermentation of organic matter by methanogenic bacteria. This is not uncommon in wetland areas, such as those that exist along West Divide Creek.

Other Information

Oil and gas development is an industrial activity, and property owners sometimes complain that it has contaminated their water well. The COGCC investigates all such complaints and reports the results individually to the complainant and collectively to the Colorado Water Quality Control

15

http://cogcc.state.co.us/orders/orders/1v/276.html�

Division. In some cases, the COGCC has found that the well contains thermogenic methane linked to oil and gas development. In most cases, however, the COGCC has found that contamination is not present or that the methane comes from biogenic sources and is not attributable to oil and gas production. The following excerpt from a report summarizing the COGCC’s investigation following the contamination of the Ellsworth water well is illustrative:

In response to concerns regarding the presence of methane gas in water wells completed in the Laramie/Fox Hills Aquifer, COGCC, Noble Energy, and Anadarko/Kerr McGee sampled a total of 28 water wells between March 25, 2009 and April 7, 2009 across an approximately 170 square mile area. Sample results show that these wells contained either no methane gas or biogenic (biological generated) methane gas. None of these wells, other than the Ellsworth water well, contained thermogenic methane gas. The sample results along with letters discussing the results were sent by COGCC staff to the 28 well owners [who had requested testing].

Nevertheless, it remains important to establish prudent regulations to ensure that other resources, such as groundwater, are protected. Producing oil and gas formations in much of Colorado, including the Denver-Julesburg and Piceance Basins, lie at depths of up to 8,000 feet below the ground surface, while the aquifers that sustain domestic water wells are generally less than 1,000 feet below the ground surface. COGCC regulations establish casing and cementing standards to ensure that gas being produced from 8,000 feet down does not leak into the shallower aquifers. These regulations require wells to be cased with steel pipe and the casing to be surrounded by cement to create a hydraulic seal within the annular space between the wall of the well bore and the steel pipe. In addition, a number of recent amendments to the COGCC regulations address concerns raised about hydraulic fracturing:

• Rule 205 requires operators to inventory chemicals, including fracturing fluids, and to provide this information upon request to the COGCC and certain health care professionals;

• Rule 317 requires cement bond logs to confirm that aquifers are protected; • Rule 317B imposes mandatory setbacks and enhanced environmental

precautions on oil and gas development occurring near public drinking water sources;

• Rule 341 requires well pressures to be monitored during hydraulic fracturing; • Rule 608 mandates additional pressure testing and water well sampling for

coalbed methane wells; and • Rules 903 , 904 , and 906 impose enhanced requirements for pit permitting,

lining, monitoring, and secondary containment to ensure that pit fluids, including hydraulic fracturing flowback, do not leak.

Finally, it should be understood that the COGCC Director, Dave Neslin, offered to speak with Gasland’s producer, Josh Fox, on camera during the filming of the movie. Because the issues are technical and complex and arouse concerns in many people, Director Neslin asked that he be allowed to review any material from the interview that would be included in the final film. Unfortunately, Mr. Fox declined. Such a discussion might have prevented the inaccuracies noted above.

Introduction

In order to gain insight into how Canadian oil sands development increases economic activity in a particular region, CAPP requested from oil sands companies a list of their oil sands suppliers and business partners. The following list is an aggregation of recent suppliers for several Canadian oil sands companies.

This list is not an exhaustive survey of suppliers in a particular region. Rather, it serves as a tool to highlight existing examples of the commerce and trade relationships between Canadian oil sands producers and companies in the region.

As CAPP receives more information from its member companies, the list will be regularly updated. If you are interested in receiving the next update, or if you are a supplier for oil sands or know of a supplier not on the list, please contact [email protected].

Canada’s oil sands sector surpassed growth expectations in 2012 due to stable oil prices and strong

investment. Optimism continued into 2013; although, somewhat tempered by ongoing concerns that could impact the sector’s growth and sustainability such as the need to diversify markets, obtain the social license to operate, cost management and labour and skill shortages. The sector must continue to implement innovative solutions to address these concerns and ensure energy sustainability in Canada.

TOP 10 OIL SANDS OCCUPATIONS BASED ON 2012 EMPLOYMENT LEVELS

1 Power engineers (steam-ticketed operators) 3,860

2 Heavy equipment operators 3,055

3 Heavy-duty equipment mechanics 985

4 Facility operation and maintenance managers 960

5 Engineering managers 855

6 Petroleum engineers 810

7 Mechanical engineers 575

8 Primary production managers 570

9 Industrial electricians 565

10 Millwrights and machinists 565

The Decade Ahead: Oil Sands Labour Demand Outlook to 2022

The benefits of oil sands investment go well beyond direct employment. There are also thousands of workers providing contract services to oil sands operators such as those employed in construction, oil and gas services and supply chain sectors. Additional jobs are also created or ‘induced’ in the broader economy from the purchases of direct employees and contracted (or indirect) workers. The investment in oil sands development and operations over the next decade is estimated to sustain more than half a million jobs across Canada (direct, indirect and induced). Although the majority of jobs are expected to be in Alberta, more than 20 per cent, or 112,000 will be in other Canadian provinces – such as Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Atlantic Canada.

Part of

OIL SANDS EMPLOYMENT AND HIRING OUTLOOK

The oil sands operations sector must add another 16,000 direct new jobs between 2013 and 2022 to meet growing oil sands production. By 2022, employment is projected to reach 38,300 jobs, with in situ employing half of the workforce.

Aside from job growth, the sector will also face retirements over the coming decade as close to 30 per cent of the current workforce will be eligible to retire during the outlook period. Age-related attrition could create an additional 6,500 job vacancies and when combined with 16,000 new jobs, this results in a hiring requirement of 22,500 jobs over the next decade.

Additionally, if three per cent of the oil sands workforce changes companies and/or leaves the sector during each year of the outlook period, hiring activity increases by another 9,350 positions, bringing total hiring requirements to about 31,850 over the next decade.

73

April 2013

Shortages in some oil sands occupations pose a greater risk than others: Power engineers will have the highest demand over the next decade and make up about 25 per cent of projected hiring requirements for both in situ and upgrading operations.

Shortages of supply chain, logistics, procurement and contract management workers, could create bottlenecks and impact expansion schedules.

Sustainability-related occupations, such as stakeholder relations, environmental, health and safety roles, will experience above-average employment growth.

Retirements amongst managers/ supervisors will lead to a loss of mentoring capacity and have a negative impact on workforce development and productivity.

Human resources professionals will be in high demand as organizational effectiveness and recruiting, retaining and developing human capital continue to be key business concerns.

Retirement of industry-specific workers, such as petroleum engineers and geoscience professionals, are more difficult to address because of the limited labour supply pool.

WORKFORCE RECOMMENDATIONS

Collaborative efforts and innovative solutions, many of them driven by industry, are focused on increasing the pool of qualified workers for the oil sands operations sector. Mitigating the risks associated with labour and skill shortages must be top of mind. Additional strategies or opportunities include:

Managing labour costs - According to a recent study by the Hay Group, oil and gas industry wages are increasing at a rate of 3.9 per cent, which is faster than the Canadian average of 2.9 per cent. Less reliance on recruiting from within the industry may curtail rising labour costs.

Increasing energy literacy - The lack of understanding of the industry, its career opportunities and its value to the Canadian economy continues to be a significant barrier to attracting talent.

Attracting workers beyond Western Canada - Most of the programs designed to increase the pool of qualified workers are implemented in Western Canada, where competition for workers is already fierce. Further, rotational work assignments continue to operate from Western Canadian transportation hubs and are not attractive to potential workers from eastern locations.

Recruiting internationally for some skill sets - Recent changes to federal immigration policy and programs provide an opportunity to target internationally trained workers to fill in-demand jobs. Not all oil sands jobs lend themselves to international recruitment because of the unique nature of work and/or qualifications. However, occupations such as mining engineers, petroleum process engineers and trades have transferable experience and qualifications.

The Petroleum Human Resources Council of Canada is a national, not-for-profit, collaborative forum that addresses human resources issues within the petroleum industry. We accomplish this through providing expert knowledge on petroleum labour market trends and developing strategies, solutions, products and services to address current and future human resource challenges in the oil and gas industry.

Eagle Ford fatal crashes up 40 percentBy Jennifer Hiller, Staff WriterUpdated 1:40 pm, Saturday, March 16, 2013

KARNES CITY — Fatal traffic wrecks increased 40 percent in the Eagle Ford Shale region last year, with

preliminary data showing what everyone already knew anecdotally: the oil and gas boom has made South

Texas roads more dangerous.

There were 248 traffic fatalities in the region last year, compared with 177 the year before, according

numbers released Friday by the Texas Department of Transportation.

The number of crashes in which people suffered both serious and fatal injuries also rose, but by just 1.9

percent, from 2,673 such crashes in 2011 to 2,723 last year.

Just 9 percent of the crashes involved commercial vehicles.

A sharp uptick in the number of cars and trucks of all sizes, quickly deteriorating road conditions and

issues such as narrow, rural roads without shoulders have played roles in the increases, officials said at a

road safety event Friday in Karnes County, one of the busiest areas for drilling in the Eagle Ford.

“We're on small roads with more traffic,” said Carol Rawson, traffic operations division director with

TxDOT.

Roads that once carried 200 vehicles per day now have 2,400 vehicles traveling them, and many of those

weigh 80,000 pounds or more, Rawson said.

Casey Goetz, a major with the Department of Public Safety's highway patrol, said that in Karnes, La Salle

and Dimmit counties, the number of crashes involving commercial trucks is up 1,000 percent.

“Many drivers let their guard down in rural areas,” he said.

TxDOT, the Department of Public Safety and associations for the trucking and oil and gas industries

launched a roadway safety campaign for the oil patch called “Be Safe. Drive Smart” to try to improve

safety and awareness for both commercial and passenger vehicle drivers.

The safety campaign encourages all drivers to follow basic safety rules: wear seat belts, drive a safe speed,

pass carefully, avoid using cellphones while driving and always stop for red lights and stop signs.

The campaign will be visible on billboards, in newspaper and radio advertising, and on signs at gas

pumps.

TxDOT looked at a 23-county swath of the oil and gas field, from Laredo in the south, where drilling has

boomed in the last few years, to Madisonville in Madison County on the eastern edge, where petroleum

development is just beginning.

About two-thirds of those involved in the wrecks were men.

And the most dangerous times of day were between 4 and 6 p.m.

Luke Legate of the Texas Oil and Gas Joint Association, which represents nine oil and gas associations in

the state, said the industry has increased driver safety programs and worked to implement everything

from stability controls in trucks to making sure that drivers have adequate rest time.

“More and more we are concentrating on the issue of safety,” Legate said.

John Esparza, president and CEO of the Texas Motor Vehicle Association, said that in 84 percent of the

fatalities involving a passenger vehicle and a commercial truck, it was the passenger vehicle's fault. But he

said all drivers need to take precautions.

“We've just got to keep pace and we're behind the eight ball, frankly,” he said.

When there is a wreck in the Eagle Ford region, it can take emergency responders a longer time to get

there than in a large city.

La Salle County Judge Joel Rodriguez Jr. said there are just three or four EMS responders in his county.

“We are sparsely populated areas and we may not be able to get to you,” Rodriguez said.

Road conditions and road safety have been a huge issue for residents.

Karee Clark lives off of State Highway 123 about 13 miles south of Seguin, and has seen large trucks

passing on hills and passenger cars being run off the road by large trucks.

“This has happened over and over and over again,” she said.

While Clark said she has been happy to see more patrol cars in the area, she's concerned about the quality

of the roadway and trucks running through stop lights.

“I saw one pass a school bus. I couldn't believe it,” she said.

Highway 85 concerns move southTraffic concerns are well known in and around the Oil Patch, but worries about how the Bakken energy boom is affecting roadways have moved across state lines to South Dakota.

By: Bryan Horwath, The Dickinson Press

Traffic concerns in the Oil Patch are well known to the people living and working in western North Dakota.

Worries about how the Bakken energy boom is now affecting or could, in the future, affect roadways have now spread across state lines.

The South Dakota Highway Patrol recently implemented a new squad of several officers based in Belle Fourche, S.D., in response to an increase in trafficcoming and going from the Bakken.

“Several years ago, we began to see an increase in traffic, primarily on (U.S.) Highway 85, both northbound and southbound,” said SDHP Capt. Kevin Karley.“As the traffic has increased, so have our service calls and driving complaints called in. This is a unique deal — we’re starting new.”

The four-person troop consisting of a sergeant and three troopers — which officially went into effect April 1 — has been named the Northern Plains Squadwith the added trooper positions being funded with grant money.

Karley said that in the past several years, northwest South Dakota has seen an increase in traffic of 70 percent overall. In certain areas of the region over thepast 10 years, there has been an increase of up to 230 percent in the number of commercial vehicles alone with most of the added activity coming onHighway 85.

In the Oil Patch, however, the increased traffic in South Dakota might be seen as child’s play.

Increased semi truck oil and water tanker traffic, along with all the other different types of vehicles needed during an energy boom, have cause increasingsafety, congestion and road decay issues in recent years in western North Dakota.

In a recent Forum News Service story, Watford City Mayor Brent Sanford called the number of traffic fatalities so far this year in McKenzie County, where hiscity is located, “appalling.”

Not yet four months into 2013, North Dakota has already had 32 traffic-related deaths.

Traffic gets busier the farther north one travels on Highway 85 in North Dakota, a situation only exacerbated during adverse weather conditions in the coldermonths and during summer road construction projects.

“That entire western portion of North Dakota is active,” said North Dakota Highway Patrol Superintendent Col. James Prochniak. “But our priority right now isthe Oil Patch. We’re stomping out the biggest fire by looking at the issues in areas like Williams County and McKenzie County and those challenges that wehear about every day.”

Calling the issues facing the highway patrol “critical,” Prochniak said his agency is trying to be proactive with traffic safety issues and increased activityacross the board, but added that “it’s difficult when you’re running from call to call and, quite frankly, officers are suffering from burnout.”

The highway patrol has requested funding for 15 additional officers during the current North Dakota legislative session, nine of which would be placed in theOil Patch, said Prochniak.

He added that three officers currently in training are scheduled to be added to the force in McKenzie County by June. Prochniak said the added manpowerwill be a welcome addition.

“With 148 officers total, we’re the smallest highway patrol in the nation,” Prochniak said. “Since I’ve been in this position beginning in 2009, we’ve reversedour trend and now have more officers in the western half of the state than on the eastern side. Is that justified? Absolutely.”

Prochniak said making western North Dakota roads safer and more easily negotiable takes a joint effort from the state’s Legislature and agencies to the oiland motor-carrier industries.

“We’ve really tried to ramp up all those relationships,” Prochniak said. “I firmly believe that, as silly as this sounds, if we weren’t taking the measures we’recurrently taking out there, things would be even worse.”

Whispers have been circulating for years among southwest North Dakota community leaders and residents that oil activity could steadily move south. If thateventually happens, Highway 85 will only become busier.

From Belfield to the South Dakota border and beyond, the highway is still a shell of what roadways are like in the heart of the Oil Patch.

A drive from Belfield to Amidon on Highway 85 still can resemble a scenic stroll down a country highway at times, though construction is set to begin on a12-mile stretch of the road from Belfield south next week.

In a release issued Friday, North Dakota Department of Transportation spokesperson Jamie Olson stated delays should be minimal, though speeds will bereduced to 35 mph in work zones.

“We don’t see things changing in the near future,” Karley said. “We hope adding these troopers can also take some of the pressure off of those local lawenforcement officials who have seen an increase in workload.”

April 18, 2013 U.S. Department of State Attn: Genevieve Walker, NEPA Coordinator 2201 C Street NW, Room 2726 Washington, D.C. 20520

Dear Ms. Walker:

We are writing to strongly support TransCanada's proposed Keystone XL pipeline and urge you to swiftly

finalize the draft SEIS. Keystone XL will be critical to improving American energy security and boosting

our economy, and I strongly encourage its expeditious approval.

Our communities are members of the Ports‐to‐Plains Alliance, a grassroots coalition of cities, counties, businesses, economic development organizations and chambers of commerce from a ten‐state, 2,300 mile long transportation and economic development corridor that stretch from Texas to Alberta, Canada.

Keystone XL has undergone one of the most thorough environmental assessments ever conducted. In

this latest environmental review, the State Department again concludes that Keystone XL will not

significantly affect the environment. With over 57 additional mitigation measures to be undertaken by

TransCanada, Keystone XL is much safer, more efficient, and more reliable than other modes of crude oil

transport examined by the State Department.

Opponents have argued that Keystone XL will increase greenhouse gas emissions through increased oil

sands production. However the draft SEIS notes that not building the pipeline would not significantly

limit oil sands development or U.S. consumption of heavy oil. If the pipeline is not completed, that oil

would simply be transported by rail or other greenhouse gas generating means rather than through a

pipeline.

Keystone XL will provide tremendous economic benefits for our country, our region in particular. As the

draft SEIS outlines, the project will support over 42,100 jobs during the construction phase and will

generate over $5 billion in economic activity, including $2.05 billion in worker salaries. For local

governments along the pipeline corridor, $65 million in tax revenue will help fund necessary

Support for Findings of the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the Keystone XL Pipeline

infrastructure projects, education, and medical services. Furthermore the development of Alberta’s oil

sands will have a significant economic impact on the U.S. For every two jobs created in the oil sands,

one is created in the United States, as our number one trading partner relies heavily on American‐made

equipment and expertise. It will also provide improved access to domestic oil supplies from the Bakken

Formation in North Dakota and Montana.

Keystone XL will also allow America to end its dependence on oil from the Middle East and Venezuela by

improving access to North American supplies. Relying upon regimes that are in many cases unstable and

unfriendly to the United States is simply bad energy and national security policy. We have seen the

shocks to our economy from oil price spikes caused by turmoil in these regions. It is much preferable to

develop stable, secure domestic and Canadian sources.

As leaders from the region that the Keystone XL pipeline will traverse, we applaud the thoroughness of

the approval process. The State Department draft EIS and the Nebraska Department of Environmental

Quality Supplemental EIS both find no significant environmental concerns that should prevent the

construction of this valuable project. We also know that TransCanada will construct the Keystone XL

with industry best practices that will meet or exceed all existing pipeline regulatory standards.

The Keystone XL pipeline is clearly in the nation’s interest and will be a valuable tool in strengthening

our national security and energy security. Therefore, we respectfully request that upon completion of

this review period, the Department of States move expeditiously to approve the pipeline and grant

TransCanada the Presidential Permit it needs to proceed.

Sincerely,

Brad Bekkedahl
