Welcome to the 2009 edition of the West Virginia Natural Gas Facts, updating critical
demographic information pertaining to the oil and natural gas industry across West Virginia.
This publication has become a critical tool for the natural gas industry to share vital
information on the role we play in maintaining and stimulating West Virginias economy.
Following several years of unprecedented growth, we enter 2009 with a struggling economy
and tight capital markets. These factors, coupled with a significant decline in natural gas
commodity prices, promise to slow development and soften our steady pace of growth across
the Mountain State. That said; this industry remains poised to provide an environmentally
clean, safe and reliable source of domestically produced energy.
Although this industry has been viewed as a mature business, technology enhancements
have opened the dor for exciting new natural gas growth potential in the Marcellus Shale.
Numerous new horizontally drilled Marcellus wells have been completed in north-central
West Virginia and the geological estimates of the potential resource base of the Marcellus
Shale could be as high as 500 trillion cubic feet (Tcf.) across West Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and New York. Based upon todays consumption of roughly 23 Tcf., West Virginia
Marcellus development could play a vital role in providing enough natural gas to fuel the
entire nation for the next 10-15 years.
Whether it be our historic conventional production industry or new technology driven
Marcellus development, natural gas is a clean and abundant way to quench our nations
thirst for energy. Furthermore, in this era Congressional oversight of carbon emission
reductions, natural gas emits 40% less carbon than coal, 30% less than oil and 15% less than
propane when consumed. Most importantly, it is right here in our backyard.
This industry is indeed a leader in West Virginias economy. Our future remains bright and
our skilled labor and professional workforce promises to continue working with communities
to deliver this safe, clean and reliable product to your home and business, Count on it!

The Severance Tax

West Virginia code section 11-13A-5a provides for the collection and distribution of a severance tax on
oil and gas. Seventy-five percent (75%) is distributed to oil and gas producing counties. The remaining
twenty-five percent (25%) is distributed to all counties and municipalities of the state, without regard to
oil and gas having been produced therein. These taxes are distributed annually. These figures are
based on a fiscal year ending in June. SourceWV Treasurers Office

Glossary of Commonly Used Industry Terms

A
Abandoned Well A well no longer in use because it was a dry hole or has ceased production and
been left unplugged by the operator.
Appalachian Basin A sedimentary disposition basin with thick sediments in the interior and thinner
sediments at the edges extending from New York to Alabama.
B
Billion Cubic Feet (BCF) 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.
C
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-1980s, 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. Co-firing 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 a 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 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch). When being transported
through pipelines, and when 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
and one foot deep. Natural gas is measured in cubic feet, but measurements are usually in terms of
BCF, TCF, MCF or Quads.
F
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) The federal agency that regulated 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 is housed in the Department of Energy.
Firm Service Contract A type of contracted service where the distributor agrees to provide the buyer
with an 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 non-wasteful purpose.
Flash Point The temperature and other conditions as which a substance will ignite.
47
41 Formation A formation that 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 abilities to find and recover natural gas, as well as extending the longevity of older
wells.
Future Markets A market training in contracts to buy or sell oil at a fixed price by a certain date.
G
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.
H
Hydrocarbon An organic compound containing only carbon and hydrogen. Hydrocarbons often occur
in petroleum products, natural gas and coals.
Hydochlorofluorocarbons 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 and 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 20-40 feet from vertical),
medium (300-700 feet from vertical) or long (1000-4500 feet from vertical) radius. The larger radius
wells are typically found offshore.
I
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.
J
Just and Reasonable 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.
L
Landman Employed by an oil or gas company to oversee landowner relations. A landmans duties
would include, but not be limited to: securing leases, lease amendments, pooling and unitization
agreement and title defects.
Line Loss The amount of gas loss in the distribution system.
LNG Liquefied Natural Gas.
Local Distribution Company A retail gas distribution company that delivers natural gas to end users.
M
MCF 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.
48
Most Efficient Recovery (MER) The MER 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 drillings rigs. These fluids cool the bit and
remove cuttings and debris, and cost 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.
N
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, estimated 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 electicity-generating unit with a new gas-fired combined-cycle unit can
reduce NOx by some 95 percent.
O
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.
P
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 us 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.
49
R
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, nd it
is even effective in cyclone and wet-bottom boilers, for which entails the injection of natural gas into a
coal-fired boiler above the primary combustion zone representing 10 -200 percent of the total fuel mix
can produce NOx reduction in the 50-70 percent range and SO2 reductions in the 2- to 25 percent
range.
S
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 direction at a single volume price. The direction 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 a
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.
T
Trillion Cubic Feet A volume of measurement of natural gas, approximately equivalent to one Quad.
See also BTUs, Bcf and Mcf.
U
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.
W
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.
Z
Zone Rates Rates designed to reflect the variation in pipeline costs based on distance between
supply and delivery points.
