UGI

• UGI is a marketer and distributor of energy products & services

• We’re a “PA-centric”, global company

– UGI established in PA in 1882

– Home to our corporate office and three of our four business units

– 2000 PA-based employees

– We serve over 700,000 residential and commercial customers across the state

• Marcellus a potential game changer for UGI and our customers

Page 3: Energy Association of Pennsylvania

Topics to Cover

• Marcellus Shale Overview

• Marcellus Shale Impacts/Opportunities

• Public Debate-Water Quality

• UGI Midstream and Projects

Page 4: Energy Association of Pennsylvania

Marcellus Shale – What is it?

• Unit of marine sedimentary rock• Named for outcrop near

Marcellus, NY• Considered a “tight” rock

formation• Depth: 5,000-9,000 feet• Thickness: 50-200 feet• In 2002 USGS est. 1.9 Tcf• In 2009, revised est. of 489 Tcf

– *Available with new technologies

Page 5: Energy Association of Pennsylvania

Marcellus Shale – Where is it?

• Current estimate of “recoverable” natural gas in the Marcellus Shale: 500 trillion cubic feet (Tcf)

• US annual gas demand : 23 Tcf.

• 70 million US homes and businesses rely on natural gas.

Marcellus Shale Impacts

Page 8: Energy Association of Pennsylvania

The Way it Has Been

• Most Production Remote to Northeast Markets

• Long Distance Transport and Pricing (1,600 miles)

• Supply in Decline

• Price Volatility

Marcellus: Large Supply Source Close to Market Changes Everything

Marcellus -2nd largest gas field in world-In UGI Footprint-274 miles from East Coast

By 2020, Marcellus produces more gas than the Northeast U.S. consumes

Displace more carbon intensive fuels-coal and oil

Lower energy costs and stable energy prices

Page 10: Energy Association of Pennsylvania

Marcellus….A Game Changer--------------

Reliable domestic supply lowers costs/dampens volatility

Page 11: Energy Association of Pennsylvania

Marcellus…A Game Changer--------------

Positive outlook for natural gas pricing spurs development

Page 12: Energy Association of Pennsylvania

Positive Impact on PA Customers

• Savings from reduced natural gas costs flow directly to consumers– Every $1.00/mm BTU cost reduction = annual savings of $600

million for PA gas consumers – And a 70% increase in PA electricity generated by natural gas,

displacing oil and coal=lower electricity prices and cleaner air

• UGI converted roughly 75,000 homes from oil to natural gas from 1996 – 2010. The impact on these families has been significant:– $140 million reduction in their home energy bills in 2010 alone – Carbon output reduced by 30%

• Customer demand for access to natural gas has never been higher

Page 13: Energy Association of Pennsylvania

Penn State Economic Impact Study

• In 2008 alone, natural gas companies paid more than $1.8 billion in lease and payments to PA landowners

• During 2009, Marcellus gas producers spent a total of $4.5 billion to develop the resource

• 2020 output levels are 7 times the amount of current PA consumption

• At full development, the Marcellus would be the 2nd largest natural gas field in the world, providing an energy equivalent to 87 billion barrels of oil (vs. current US consumption of 7 billion barrels of oil per year)

• Only one state (TX) is projected to produce more natural gas than PA by 2020

Page 14: Energy Association of Pennsylvania

Organic Growth Opportunities-UGI Utilities

• Roughly 130,000 natural gas customers with electric water heaters.

• Roughly 50,000 gas customers do not have gas heating.

• An estimated 500,000 homes and businesses near our mains do not have gas service (primarily oil).

• Perception of oil is unfavorable; electric rate caps off.

• On UGI Utilities alone, roughly 50,000 households who switched from oil to natural gas in the 10 years prior to 2006, saved nearly $430 million from 2006-2011

Marcellus Issues and Public Debate

Drinking Water-A Battle Ground

The truth is out there—but not easy to find

Page 16: Energy Association of Pennsylvania

Issue: Drinking Water Contamination

• “As drillers…swarm Pennsylvania's rich Marcellus Shale gas fields, the industry's use and handling of water has been a subject of intense scrutiny.” Philadelphia Inquirer, Associated Press Mon, Apr. 25, 2011, Water tainted by fracking a thing of the past in Pa.?

• “In the film's [Gasland] signature moment Mike Markham, a [Colorado]

landowner, ignites his tap water.” [Gasland]

Page 17: Energy Association of Pennsylvania

Drinking Water Contamination

Howard M. Neukrug, a Philadelphia deputy water commissioner:" …the extraction of natural gas…can be performed with low risk to natural resources if there is good enforcement of existing regulations…” Tue, Sep. 28, 2010,

Philadelphia Water Department taking measured approach to frackingBy Andrew Maykuth, Inquirer Staff Writer

Former DEP Secretary John Hanger: “The industry is…reusing waste water…because they face the great cost of cleaning it up before it goes into a river/stream…” WHYY: Tuesday, September 28th, 2010 By: Kerry [email protected]

Page 18: Energy Association of Pennsylvania

Drinking Water Contamination

• “Gasland incorrectly attributes several cases of water well contamination [flaming water] in Colorado to oil and gas development when our investigations determined that the wells in question contained biogenic [naturally occurring] methane that is not attributable to such development.” Source: State of Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission Report, Correcting Gasland

Page 19: Energy Association of Pennsylvania

Drinking Water Contamination

• “In aquifers overlying the Marcellus and Utica Shale formations in Pennsylvania and upstate New York…systematic evidence of methane contamination of drinking water associated with shale gas extraction”

• “…no evidence for contamination…from deep brines and/or fracturing fluid”

• Methane migration through geological formations…is less likely…than leaky well casings”

• “More research is needed”Methane contamination of drinking Water accompanying gas-well drilling and hydraulic
