The responsible development <strong>of</strong> unconventional oil and gas resources demands that the oil and gas industry maintain its<br />
exceptional level <strong>of</strong> environmental awareness. This level is accomplished through constant scrutiny and continual improvement<br />
<strong>of</strong> industry efforts. With continual improvement in mind, this workshop will focus on innovative technologies for well<br />
construction and integrity, greener stimulation techniques, waste and water management, improving air quality during and after<br />
the completion, and the protection <strong>of</strong> groundwater and the ecosystems we work in. Emphasis will be placed on best practices<br />
that mitigate current environmental risks. Attendees will be expected to challenge the status quo, to engage in discussion and to<br />
exchange ideas regarding ongoing applications and issues surrounding unconventional resource development.

best practices.<br />
Many <strong>of</strong> the presentations are in the form <strong>of</strong> case studies, highlighting<br />
engineering achievements and lessons learned. In order to stimulate<br />
frank discussion, no proceedings are published and members <strong>of</strong><br />
the press are not invited to attend.<br />
Cleaner fracs by design.<br />
Custom chemical and engineered<br />
solutions from Multi-Chem ®<br />
Multi-Chem’s NaturaLine ® products represent chemical solutions and an<br />
evaluation process that provides environmental solutions for your toughest<br />
completion challenges.<br />
The NaturaLine products—biocides, friction reducers, scale inhibitors, and<br />
surfactants—can reduce waste-disposal and water-treatment costs. These<br />
custom-designed products reduce toxicity in your frac fluids, produced<br />
fluids, and flowback fluids.<br />
With the NaturaLine process, Multi-Chem works with oil and gas producers<br />
like you to develop specialized, cost-effective chemical-completion solutions<br />
to protect your assets throughout their lives.<br />
Multi-Chem is committed to being a good steward to the environment<br />
and within the community. For this reason, we are dedicated to water<br />
conservation and water-resource management.<br />
Multi-Chem’s Water Management Solutions group is experienced to provide<br />
the optimal program for water reuse and sustainability at your locations.<br />

Notes:<br />
HiWAY<br />
FLOW-CHANNEL HYDRAULIC<br />
FRACTURING SERVICE<br />
Increase production while saving water, proppant, and time.<br />
HiWAY* flow-channel hydraulic fracturing creates infinitely conductive pathways within the proppant pack,<br />
enhancing productivity and operational efficiency. On average, HiWAY jobs increase production 20%,<br />
use 40% less water, and consume 60% less proppant.<br />
To date, HiWAY technology has been used in more than 10,000 stages. It has helped<br />
conserve over 350 million gallons <strong>of</strong> water ■■<br />
prevent more than 400 screenouts<br />
save 1 billion pounds <strong>of</strong> proppant<br />
■■<br />
eliminate over 55,000 road journeys.<br />

We’re committed to working with customers to<br />
develop new ways to minimize the industry’s collective<br />
environmental footprint. These initiatives include<br />
recycling and reusing water and using environmentally<br />
preferred chemistry in fracturing operations—delivering<br />
the performance you demand while reducing costs and<br />
ensuring regulatory compliance. And we’re incorporating<br />
hybrid pumps, using diesel and natural gas, into our fleet<br />
to help reduce diesel usage by as much as 50%.<br />
