The Benefits of Horizontal Drilling
• A smaller number of vertical well sites are needed to develop a reservoir
• Multiple horizontal wells can be drilled from a single site, reducing the environmental footprint
• Some environmental areas that are protected from drilling can be accessed using horizontal drilling
without harming what’s above
• Production of previously untapped resources keeps utility costs low

Hydraulic Fracturing
• Technology used to stimulate the flow of energy from new and existing oil and gas wells
• First commercially employed in 1948
• The well is lined with cemented steel casing
• Pure water makes up 99.5 percent of the fluid mixture
• There has never been a documented instance of water contamination caused by hydraulic fracturing

Homegrown Energy Source
• Natural gas serves 65 million homes, 5 million businesses, 207,000 factories and 1,800 electric generating units
• Estimated to be over 2,000 trillion cubic feet nationally
• This will meet current U.S. consumption for another
100 years
• West Virginia has over 100 trillion cubic feet of available natural gas
