At Grand Traverse Resort

Public misinformed on realities of alternative energy; sharply rising global demand,limited access to federal lands challenge industry, API’s Cavaney tells MOGA Sept. 20

ACME, Mich. — American PetroleumInstitute (API) President and CEO, RedCavaney, in his dinner address to the Sept.20, 2007 meeting of the Michigan Oil AndGas Association (MOGA), discussed chal-lenges faced by the domestic oil andnatural gas industry, particularly withregard to American public opinion.

“Thank you for permitting me to joinyou, I want to talk about some overarchingproblems and their solutions,” Cavaneysaid. “We’re in a pretty big mess becausewe’ve had a bull’s-eye on us for years butI’m not here with a sad story; I’m here withan awakening.”

Cavaney said that the proliferations ofcommunication through the Internet andother media over the last three decades,coupled with an isolationist attitude on thepart of the industry, are two of the biggestfactors affecting public opinion.

“For more than three decades, we’vebeen saying ‘leave us alone.’ We kept ourheads down and our opponents talked tothe people who were seeking information,”Cavaney said. “What’s worse is that theindustry never stood up and said ‘Hey,that’s wrong!’”

Cavaney said that the newest wave ofcommunication between industry oppo-nents and the public has misinformed thepublic on the possibilities of alternativeenergy sources.

“The American public has been led tobelieve that the future is theirs, not tomor-row but today,” Cavaney said. “Once thisidea gets out, the media jumps on it andthe public listens.”

Cavaney said that this circumstance isunfortunate because the public now be-lieves that certain forms of alternativeenergy are viable now, when in actualitythey are not. What’s more, when the pub-lic holds this as true, they begin to viewthe oil and natural gas industry asexpendable.

“We’re seen as having a tomorrow that

is increasingly shorter,” Cavaney said.Another problem facing the industry is

global in scope. Cavaney said that majorcontributors to the global supply of oil andnatural gas have not been reinvesting inproduction. The Organization of Petro-leum Exporting Countries (OPEC) andcountries that have nationalized industries,

such as Venezuela, comprise 80 percentof global oil and gas supply. Cavaney saidthat these countries siphon off revenuesfrom oil and gas to pay for elaborategovernment programs not related to theindustry.

In addition to this siphoning, China,India, and the United States have contrib-uted to a 75 percent increase in globaldemand for oil and gas since 2004, puttingan increasing burden on producing nationsto produce more.

“We’re in a global market over which wehave no control and we must do the bestwe can,” he said.

Finally, Cavaney said that there are po-litical factors in the United States that arehindering domestic production of oil andgas.

“Most oil and gas is on federal lands,”(continued on page 14)

To California-based BreitBurn Energy Partners

Quicksilver Resources signs definitive agreement to sell its Michigan, Indiana,and Kentucky properties for $1.45 billion total consideration

by Mike SpenceMOGN Staf f Writer

FORT WORTH, Texas and LOSANGELES — Quicksilver Resources Inc.announced on Sept. 12, 2007 it had signeda definitive agreement with BreitBurn Op-erating L.P. to contribute all of its naturalgas, oil, and midstream assets in Michigan,Indiana, and Kentucky to BreitBurn inexchange for $750 million in cash andmore than 21 million units of BreitBurnEnergy Partners L.P.

The deal represents the third major ac-quisition of Antrim Shale operations totake place in 2007, a year that has seenthe three largest Michigan Antrim Shaleacquisitions to date.

The first of these acquisitions was theMay 21, 2007 announcement that DTEEnergy would sell its Michigan AntrimShale properties to Pittsburgh, Pa.–basedAtlas Resources, LLC for $1.225 billion ingross proceeds. (See story, page 15, May25, 2007 Michigan Oil & Gas NewsMonthly Report Edition.)

The second acquisition, announced onJune 4, 2007, was Dominion Exploration &Production’s sale of most of its U.S. on-shore natural gas and oil exploration op-erations — including its Michigan opera-tions — in two separate transactions for atotal of approximately $6.5 billion. Theportion of Dominion’s assets involving itsMichigan properties were sold to LoewsCorp., and will be operated by new LoewsCorp. subsidiary HighMount Exploration& Production. (See story, page 1, June 8,2007 Michigan Oil & Gas News WeeklyUpdate Edition.)

In this latest Antrim acquisition,BreitBurn will acquire 5,436 gross produc-ing wells and proven reserves containingapproximately 530 billion cubic feet of gasequivalents (Bcfe) of estimated provedreserves. Of these reserves, 84 percentare located in the Michigan Antrim Shale.

Additionally, Breitburn will acquireQuicksilver’s midstream assets inMichigan, Indiana, and Kentucky, consist-ing of gathering, transportation, compres-sion and processing assets. Included inthese assets are more than 1,000 miles oflow pressure gathering pipeline, 138 milesof transmission pipeline, and 159 miles ofhigh pressure gathering lines.

In exchange for these assets,Quicksilver will receive $750 million incash and approximately 21.348 millioncommon units of BreitBurn EnergyPartners L.P., subject to adjustments to the

total consideration. In accordance with theagreement, BreitBurn has the option toincrease the cash portion of the total con-sideration paid at closing and reduce thenumber of common units issued basedupon a fixed value of $32.79, representinga total consideration of $1.45 billion.

The deal is expected to close by Nov. 1,2007.

The evolution of the Michigan Basin’sAntrim Shale play has been characterizedby a series of acquisitions and mergers,the most notable of which began in theearly 1990s.

During that decade, Quicksilver Re-sources Inc. was formed as an affiliate ofFort Worth-based Mercury ExplorationCo. In 1999, the company began tradingpublicly on the American Stock Exchange(AMEX) under the symbol KWK.

Mercury Exploration was founded in1963 and entered the Michigan oilpatchin the early 1990s, establishing itself as aleading independent developer of AntrimShale natural gas reserves, focusing itsefforts on the play’s core area in OtsegoCounty.

In the mid-1990s, acquisition became akey part of the Mercur y/Quicksilvergrowth strategy. It was at this time thatthey made the first in a series of signifi-cant deals to expand their reserve andasset base.

In 1996, Quicksilver acquired theMichigan deep gas producing propertiesof Shell Western Exploration & Produc-tion, taking over operation of several of thestate’s largest and most prolific deep res-er voirs, such as Connors Marsh(Crawford County), Rose City (OgemawCounty), and Kawkawlin Bay (BayCounty).

The company made another significantacquisition in May 1999 when it acquiredthe Michigan producing assets of UnionOil of California subsidiary Spirit Energy76, acquiring one of the state’s oldest andmost prolific Devonian secondary recov-ery waterflood projects, the Beaver CreekField’s Richfield Zone waterflood inCrawford and Kalkaska counties. In thisdeal, the company also gained the state’sbest gas well ever drilled to any horizon

Public misinformed on realities of alternative energy, global demand risingsharply, API’s Cavaney tells MOGA Sept. 20 (continued from page 7)

he said. “Access to this land is being takenout of circulation.”

In addition to this restricted access tofederal lands, Cavaney said that a lack ofpermitting, especially with regard to re-fineries, is hindering the development ofdomestic reserves.

After citing these problems, Cavaneyoffered some words of encouragement tothe industry.

“The true alternative is to go out andtell the true story of the oil and gas indus-try,” he said. “In recognizing this, API hasdecided to commit significant money to aprogram of educational advocacy.”

Through ef forts such as the EnergyTomorrow World Wide Web site,www.energytomorrow.com, API has cre-ated a forum through which commonmisconceptions about the industry can beclarified.

“We hope this ef for t will move theneedle in five to 10 years,” Cavaney said.“We don’t have any choice; all of us haveto work together.”

After Cavaney’s presentation, in keep-ing with tradition, MOGA Chairman Tom

Mall presented the guest speaker with adrop of Michigan crude oil encased in apyramid.

In other business of the evening, MOGAPresident Frank Mortl announced that theMichigan Oil & Gas Producers EducationFoundation (MOGPEF) is the recipient ofa 2007 Interstate Oil & Gas Compact Com-mission (IOGCC) Chairman’s Steward-ship Award in the category of Energy Edu-cation, and that MOGPEF President MikeBarratt would travel to the 2007 IOGCCAnnual Meeting to receive the award onbehalf of the foundation.

Mortl also acknowledged Tom Mall,MOGA chairman, for his role in develop-ing MOGPEF.

“This is quite a deal, it’s quite a rewardfor all of us involved,” Mortl said. “We haveTom Mall to thank for this.”

Mall thanked reception sponsors Mika,Meyers, Beckett & Jones, PLC and FluidCompressor Partners, and announced thatthe MOGA board of directors had ap-proved 37 new members since the lastmeeting of MOGA in May.

“We are in a campaign to increase

— the State Garfield 1-8 Prairie du Chienwell, which had at that point producedmore than 40 Billion cubic feet (Bcf)natural gas.

After Quicksilver went public in 1999,during the period of August 2000 throughJanuary 2002, more than 600 MercuryExploration wells were transferred fromto Quicksilver. In the years following thatinitial period of transfers, an approximateadditional 50 wells were transferred.

In January 2000, CMS Energy Corp.reached an agreement with Quicksilver tosell it over 180,000 net leasehold acresproducing about 54 Mmcf per day equiva-lent in CMS’ Antrim Shale holdings as wellas interests in the company’s Niagaran andPrairie du Chien wells. Estimated reserveswere not disclosed at the time of this sale.Prior to the acquisition, Quicksilver had dailyproduction of more than 47 Mmcf gas.

Prior to that acquisition, in 1994, CMS

Oil & Gas Co. had acquired independentproducer Terra Energy LTD. In the $63.6million deal, CMS acquired about 10 millioncubic feet (Mmcf) in net daily production andmore than 81 Bcf in proven reserves.

After the acquisition of Terra, CMSOil & Gas operated out of offices in bothTraverse City and Jackson, Mich. until thecompany’s 1997 headquarters move toHouston. Quicksilver continues to operateTerra Energy LTD as a subsidiary.

It is Quicksilver’s acquisition from CMSEnergy in 2000 that separates theBreitBurn acquisition of Quicksilver fromthe other two major acquisitions that havetaken place in 2007. Because Quicksilveracquired assets outside of the AntrimShale from CMS Energy in 2000, it is theonly major deal to involve Antrim Shaleassets taking place in 2007 that also in-cludes Michigan assets producing fromnon-Antrim geological formations, includ-ing the Silurian Niagaran, OrdovicianPrairie du Chien, and the Devonian DetroitRiver Formation and Richfield Zone.

Michigan Oil & Gas Producers Education FoundationIOGCC Annual Meeting

New Orleans, LA

On behalf of the Michigan Oil & Gas Producers Education Foundation and the Michigan Oil And Gas Association, I would like to thank theInterstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission for this award.

MOGPEF was founded in 2003 with a motto of Exploring Oil and Natural Gas through Education. The driving force for creating thefoundation was provided by Tom Mall, chairman, MOGA. MOGPEF’s mission is to develop educational programs and projects to let thecitizens of Michigan know the importance of fossil fuels in their daily lives and to let them know the technological advances in drilling,completion, and production practices that allow us, as an industry, to be more environmentally friendly and, at the same time, meet an everincreasing demand for fossil fuel energy supplies.

Through the hard work and diligence of the MOGPEF Board of Directors, the staff and directors of MOGA, and all of the people who haveassisted us with their talent, time, and financial support, MOGPEF has been able to further its mission. I would like to acknowledge Hal Fitch,Director, Office of Geological Survey, and his staff for their support and counsel in assisting with ideas for educational programs and projects.

We have been able to reach out through our Michigan Oil and Gas Industry History Exhibit which has traveled throughout the state; wehave sponsored and participated with National Energy Education Development teacher workshops addressing middle and high schoolscience teachers. We work with other energy education groups collaboratively to optimize the use of our funds. We also participate in theYES Expo where over 19,000 middle and high school students from all over Michigan gather in Detroit’s Ford Field to learn about scienceand technology careers. We started a scholarship program which gives us the opportunity to assist deserving high school seniors entering collegein pursuit of an energy related field of study.

Fossil fuels are going to be around for a long time and we will depend on them for our primary source of energy, especially fortransportation. We have an obligation to inform the public that, although there are a number of alternative fuel sources now beingdeveloped, fossil fuels will remain the primary fuel source for the foreseeable future.

One of the most important things that we can do is to educate our children from a very early age through high school and college, to givethem the facts and data that will allow them to solve our energy problems in the next 10–20 years. They are the people, just as in pastgenerations, on whom we will ultimately have to depend to maintain our quality of life.

Again, thank you for this award and we are honored to have received it from such a prestigious organization.

Sincerely,

Michael W. BarrattPresidentMichigan Oil & Gas Producers Education Foundation

IOGCC Chairman’s Stewardship Award (continued from page 5)

drilling, completion, and production prac-tices that allow the industry to be moreenvironmentally friendly at the same timeit is meeting increasing demand for fossilfuel energy supplies.

In considering MOGPEF as a candidatefor the award, IOGCC recognized thefoundation’s dedication to fulfilling its mis-sion through sponsorship of and partici-pation in National Energy Education De-velopment (NEED) teacher training work-shops, in which it addresses middle andhigh school science teachers by providing

information on oil and gas exploration andproduction and on Michigan’s oil and gasindustry; through its scholarship program,which this year awarded scholarships tofour college-bound high school graduatespursuing careers in an energy-relatedfield; through its traveling Michigan Oil &Gas History exhibit, co-created by CentralMichigan University’s Clarke HistoricalLibrary; and through booth displays atannual conferences of the Michigan Asso-ciation of Counties (MAC) and MichiganTownships Association (MTA), where it

provides information about the Michiganoil and gas industry and the MichiganNatural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF).

Other MOGPEF projects have includedthe launching of an informational WorldWide Web site — located atwww.mogpef.org — and regular participa-tion in the Youth Engineering & Science(YES) Expo at Detroit’s Ford Field, wheremore than 15,000 middle and high schoolstudents gather to learn of technology-oriented career possibilities.

MICHIGAN OIL & GAS NEWS — SEPTEMBER 28, 2007 — MONTHLY REPORT EDITION 41

Smith, Manis review issues relating to severed oil and gas interests,tax foreclosure at MAPL 30th Annual Fall Seminar (continued from page 11)

tax deeds, an order quieting title in therecord title owners of severed oil and gasagainst any claims by the state, and othermoney damages.

In the settlement, the state has agreedto give back to class members the rightsto all oil and gas properties that were sev-ered prior to foreclosure of the surfaceproperty in foreclosures taking place af-ter 1976. The class members include thoseparties who held a severed mineral rightsinterest in the property before foreclo-sure, unless specifically opting out of thelawsuit, for a total of approximately 2,600platted lots on 3,000 acres.

“This case started with literally hun-dreds of thousands of acres in question,”Manis said. “Unfortunately, hundreds ofthousands of acres became much less.”

The number of acres in question de-creased as some mineral rights could notbe returned to their owners because thestate had already conveyed the oil and gasinterests to third parties, while othersopted out of the lawsuit entirely.

The state has taken the position that itdid acquire severed oil and gas rightsthrough pre-1976 foreclosures, both Smithand Manis noted in the presentation.

The 1976 cutoff date is used due to aMichigan Supreme Court ruling that year,Dow v. Michigan, in which the Court heldthat notice of tax foreclosure by publica-tion alone was not sufficient for due pro-cess. Prior to this ruling, in accordancewith the Court’s 1964 holding in Golden v.Auditor General, the state was required toprint the notice of foreclosure only innewspapers. As a result of the 1976 rul-ing, the state would also be required tosend individualized mail notices via certi-fied mail to not only the surface owners,but the owners of the severed mineral in-terests as well.

Smith said that due to the expense anddifficulty of notifying the mineral interestowners of foreclosure, the state has notbeen consistently successful in notifyingthose parties of foreclosure.

“Since 1976, the state’s notice to severedmineral interest owners has been spottyat best,” Smith said.

These notification problems werebrought to the attention of the publicthrough an appeals process that began inthe Antrim County Circuit Court, pro-gressing through the Appeals Court to theMichigan Supreme Court.

In July 2006, the Michigan SupremeCourt upheld the Antrim Circuit Court’sdecision in Comben (Antrim County

Treasurer) v. State of Michigan by a 4–3decision, vacating a 2004 ruling by theCourt of Appeals, saying that the caseshould not have been heard at theappellate level, as the state was not an“aggrieved party.”

The case began with a declaratory judg-ment action brought by Antrim CountyTreasurer, Sherry Comben, in 2002 out ofconcern with how 1999 changes to thestate’s General Property Tax Act (GPTA)would affect severed oil and gas rightsunder property subject to foreclosure forfailure to pay taxes on the surface estate.

The Antrim Circuit Court granted themotions for summary disposition of code-fendants Pure Resources, L.P., DominionReserves, Inc., and Wolverine Gas & Oil,Inc., primarily on the basis that separateand distinct schemes for the taxation ofoil and gas had been enacted by theMichigan legislature, declaring oil and gasexempt from all other taxes, with foreclo-sures conducted under the state’s GPTAnot extinguishing severed subsurface oiland gas interests, according to the Courtof Appeals’ August 2004 ruling.

The Appeals Court found that intereststhat are not in some way derivative of thatof the surface owner (namely severed oiland gas rights) are not acquired with thetax foreclosure of a surface estate.

Also included in Smith and Manis’ pre-sentation were key legal developmentswith regard to the GPTA, since the law’senactment in 1893. These laws include theSeverance Tax Act of 1929, which stated

that severance tax is in lieu of all othertaxes, including property tax on oil and gasremaining in the ground.

Following their presentation, Smith andManis fielded a variety of questions.

After the presentation, MAPL president,Mike Flynn, thanked Smith and Manis fortheir help in clarifying the complicatedissue.

“The key is what this settlement meansfor the future, and how we will deal withit,” Flynn said.

MAPL Annual Seminar(continued from page 14)

IOGCC Stewardship Award (continued from page 40)

In all, five oil and gas related projectsreceived IOGCC Chairman’s StewardshipAwards in four categories. MOGPEF wasone of two recipients in the energy educa-tion category, along with the Fort WorthChamber of Commerce, whose BarnettShale EXPO was conceived to educate thepublic and various stakeholders on hownatural gas exploration could benefit thearea.

Receiving the award in the large com-pany category was BP America ProductionCo. for their project to challenge conven-tional wisdom of venting wells to reducegreenhouse gas emissions. Questar Explo-ration and Production received the awardin the small company category for takinga large step forward in ensuring the fu-ture of oil and gas development with theirliquids gathering gas system. The Coop-erative Sagebrush Initiative received theenvironmental partnership award for their

work to enhance resources for conserva-tion of habitats across the 11-statesagebrush biome.

The Interstate Oil & Gas Compact Com-mission is a multi-state governmentagency that advocates for environmentallysound ways to increase the supply ofAmerican energy. This is accomplished byproviding governors of member stateswith a clear and unified voice to Congress,while also serving as the authority on is-sues surrounding these vital resources.The Commission also assists states in bal-ancing a multitude of interests throughsound regulatory practices.

MOGPEF was established in 2003 to as-sist in supporting education projects andprograms about the Michigan oil andnatural gas industry.
