My fellow Landmen, 2013!! Can you believe it? The New Year has always been a time for new beginnings for me, and saying goodbye to a previous year that always seems to have ups and downs. That’s life though, and you have to take the good with the bad. So as we all ponder those New Years Resolutions of joining a gym, renovating the house, learning a new language, or basically just wanting to make ourselves better in the upcoming year, I raise my glass and I hope 2013 treats us all very well.
As we ended the year with a great Christmas Party and a very successful Toys for Tots Donation, the DAPL would like to give a special thanks to Laredo Petroleum - Dallas, Inc., Eagle Oil & Gas, and Hunt Oil Company for their generous support in our raffle this year. This week we have our annual joint meeting with the FWAPL, so we hope to see everyone there to start the new year off strong! Best wishes,
Jerry Padilla, RPL Thomas Development Corporation

Drilling For Fa
cts Under The
‘PromisedLand’
FICTION
By: Jeff Brady - January 4, 2013
There is plenty in the movie Promised Land that will prompt energy industry insiders to roll their eyes. But the overall issues explored in the film, which is being widely released in theaters Friday, are very real. A process called hydraulic fracturing has led to drilling booms that are transforming rural communities into industrial zones. Hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” makes it possible to tap into natural gas reservoirs deep underground. But first, gas companies have to convince landowners to allow them to drill.
6
The Natural Gas Pitch In the film, pitching the fracking process is the job of Matt Damon’s character, Steve Butler. “I’m not selling them natural gas, I’m selling them the only way they have to get back,” he says in the film. Like the real-life industry, Damon’s character argues that natural gas drilling will save communities by giving farmers and landowners much-needed income. Damon’s character and his co-worker, played by Frances McDormand, focus their sales pitches on the upside of natural gas production. “Even before the drilling, the initial phase of development will boost your town’s tax revenue,” McDormand’s character, Sue Thomason, argues. “That means that money will be injected into your town immediately.”
What Would Fracking Do? In the real world, there are significant environmental concerns surrounding gas drilling and fracking. In the movie, these criticisms emerge at a town hall meeting. A high school science teacher, played by Hal Holbrook, interrupts a local politician who’s a less-than-honest cheerleader for the gas industry. The teacher encourages residents to Google the word “fracking” to research the process and its effects. Later, a man who bills himself as an environmentalist, played by John Krasinski, comes to town. He stokes the opposition and delivers a simplistic and misleading demonstration of fracking and drilling to a class of grade-school kids. To give the students a visual of what the drilling will do, the character Dustin Noble punches holes in a plastic bag filled with chemicals. The dirty liquid leaks out over a model farm, much to the students’ disgust.
A ‘Work Of Fiction’ The film remains in the realm of fiction as the town debates an upcoming vote on whether drilling and fracking should be allowed. In the real world, there’s almost never a vote. “In Pennsylvania, where this film was made, municipalities have very little authority over what happens,” says Kate Sinding, senior attorney and deputy director of the Natural Resources Defense Council. “They certainly don’t get an up-and-down vote.” Whether drilling happens depends more on state laws and regulations. Still, Sinding says this film is valuable because it outlines the conundrum that communities face when drillers come to town: There’s the money, but there’s also the environmental risks. The natural gas industry, on the other hand, sees little value in this film.“It’s a complete work of fiction,” says Steve Forde, vice president of policy and communications for the Pittsburgh-based Marcellus Shale Coalition.
The Industry’s Response He says the real truth will come as people watch what his industry does over the long term. “This film may run in theaters for a several weeks — maybe a couple of months, depending on its success at the box office,” he says. “But the work of our industry is going to continue for generations to come.” Forde’s group is appealing to moviegoers in its own way. The coalition is airing advertisements in Pennsylvania theaters asking people to visit an industry website, where natural gas drillers and their allies present their side of the story.

Oil and GasIndustry watching action
onCapitol HillBy: Mella McEwen
Wednesday, January 2, 2013
With the fiscal cliff temporarily in the rearview mirror,Washington can now focus on other issues,
like new cabinet members, agency directors, environmental regulations and corporate tax treatments.
Permian Basin oil and gas operators, along with other industries, will be watching action on Capitol Hill, along with who takes the helm of the Environmental Protection Agency when Lisa Jackson retires as EPA administrator. “Administrator Jackson’s tenure was difficult on the oil and gas industry,” observed Ben Shepperd, president of the Permian Basin Petroleum Association. “She took a pretty aggressive stance on regulating the industry and, frankly, had a few missteps,” such as blaming gas wells for water contamination when other causes were responsible. “It will be interesting to see who the president replaces her with and what the next four years will look like,” Shepperd said.
Kipp Coddington, a partner in the McClean, Va.-based law firm Mowrey Meezan Coddington Cloud LLP, said he believes there is a chance Jackson won’t be replaced anytime soon. Deputy Administrator Robert Perciasepe, he said, is expected to be named acting director “and may be there for a long time.”
9
The EPA updated its study of hydraulic fracturing in late December as requested by Congress, Coddington said. The agency said it is studying five areas for their impact on ground and surface water: Large water withdrawals, spills of hydraulic fracturing fluids, injection wells and the fracturing process, spills of flowback and produced water and inadequate treatment of wastewater. EPA also updated 18 research projects. “They outlined various areas the agency is pursuing but they didn’t tip their hat on the outcome,” Coddington said, adding he doesn’t expect a final report from the study until 2014. Shepperd said the PBPA has submitted comments for the study and will remain engaged as the study proceeds.
“There is no question the battle over hydraulic fracturing will be the mother of all battles,” Shepperd predicted. “Hydraulic fracturing is at the heart of wells drilled not only in the Permian Basin but everywhere. Anything that adds substantial cost or delays approvals could have a chilling effect nationwide.” Noting that no fewer than 12 federal agencies are looking at regulating hydraulic fracturing, Shepperd said he feels the technology is under attack not because of any contamination or the need for regulation but because of political concerns.”
The PBPA and the industry it represents feels the Texas Railroad Commission and the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division are the best choice to regulate the process and are already doing a good job regulating hydraulic fracturing, he said. “We don’t mind being regulated, and we want to be regulated,” Shepperd said. “But we want to be regulated by strong state regulators who are on the ground with those doing the work, and not federal regulations that are broad and poorly-based.”
Having won last year’s battle to prevent the dunes sagebrush lizard from being listed as endangered, the association is now working to prevent the lesser prairie chicken’s listing, Shepperd said, submitting comments and analyzing the research submitted to support a listing. The experience gained from the lizard has helped, he said. “We do not believe a listing is warranted and we will do all we can to prove it’s not warranted, and we’re hopeful the Fish and Wildlife Service will issue a no-listing decision. “We would like to see reform of the Endangered Species Act, a well-intentioned law abused by environmental groups seeking to curtail all types of activity and doesn’t necessarily benefit the species,” he continued.
In Midland last month to address the annual CO2 Conference, Coddington said he expects carbon capture and storage will remain a top issue and he expects the EPA to issue three major climate control rules in 2013. One will implement new greenhouse gas emissions standards for new power plants, new standards for existing power plants and the third will implement new source performance standards on refineries. Coddington said while he doesn’t see a change in leadership at EPA bringing about many changes, “EPA action is more likely to be influenced by budgetary pressures.” The agency, like all others, he pointed out, will be under scrutiny as Congress and the Obama Administration look to cut federal spending and reduce government debt. There is, he added, some evidence the agency is moving with greater deliberation, which may be due to budget concerns, but he stressed that proposed regulations “are still in the pipeline.”
The oil and gas industry should be more concerned, Coddington said, with the fact Sen. John Kerry has been nominated to become the next secretary of state. The State Department, he explained, has final approval over the proposed Keystone XL pipeline and Kerry, “if he’s not on the record opposing the pipeline, he’s certainly a critic of it. As secretary of state, he may cause more problems than a new EPA administrator.”What Shepperd sees for the next four years, he said, is “more regulations, more scrutiny, more agencies looking to regulate us. Things are good economically, but regulatory, everyone’s nervous. People like certainty.”
Operators will continue watching proposals to eliminate tax provisions, including intangible drilling costs and depletion allowance, “typical business deductions every business enjoys that, if done away with will have a dramatic effect on the industry. We hope in Washington’s panic to address the debt, they won’t kill the goose that laid the golden egg,” Shepperd said.

Colorado oil and gas regulators have proposed requirements to increase the minimum distance between homes and drill sites and to mitigate impacts of drilling within 1,000 feet of residences. The draft rule, issued Monday by the Colorado Oil and Gas Commission, would ban drilling within 500 feet of a home anywhere in the state.
Regulators, the industry and environmental and community groups have wrestled for a year — as drilling has accelerated on the Front Range — over how close to homes wells can be drilled. Environmentalists and homeowners called for at least a 1,000-foot setback. The industry supported keeping it at the current 350-foot setback in developed areas.
The state proposal aims to allow drilling as close as 500 feet with mitigation requirements. “These proposals contain mitigation standards unprecedented nationally,” Matt Lepore, director of the oil and gas commission, said in a statement. The proposal, however, was criticized by industry and environmental groups. “The state has yet to show it understands that drilling poses a health threat,” said Mike Chiropolos, an attorney with Western Resources Advocates, a Boulder-based environmental policy group.
“Drilling turns people’s quality of life upside down, and the only safeguard is some distance,” said Chiropolos, who is representing six environmental groups before the commission. The setback standard should be “health-based, and those studies haven’t been done,” said April Beach, a spokeswoman for Erie Rising, a community-based group.
The Colorado Oil and Gas Association has said a blanket setback is the wrong approach, and that setbacks need to be made on a case-by-case basis. “COGA supports an alternate rule, which takes this holistic approach,” said Doug Flanders, an association spokesman. The state’s proposal requires wells 1,000 feet or closer to a home to take steps such as using pit-less drilling, steel berms, strict dust and light controls and the capture of gases to reduce odors and emissions. Operators would have to engage in an expanded notice and outreach with area residents and local government.
Wells could not be drilled within 1,000 feet of a school, nursing home or hospital without a hearing before the commission. The commission, whose members are appointed by the governor, also proposed requiring tests of water wells near the site before and after drilling to ensure water quality. The industry already has a widespread voluntary testing program, Flanders said. “Any new rule should build off of these successes without unnecessarily hampering energy development with excessive requirements,” he said.
The proposed rules will be the subject of hearings slated to begin Jan. 7.
