STEER Impacts through Collaboration
• Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG)

• UTSA Economic Impact Study
• San Antonio River Authority (SARA) on Eagle Ford
Shale Handbook
• Texas Parks & Wildlife
• Taking Care of Texas

“Taking Care of Texas is about building on existing conservation efforts. We want Texas to be a leader in meeting the nation’s energy needs while conserving soil and habitat and boosting the economy in South Texas. ” - Laura Bush, Taking Care of Texas

Seven Layers of Protection

“These extraordinary
technological
achievements
enable operators to
maximize returns from
each well, which in
turn means higher
royalty payments to
mineral owners, and
higher tax revenues
for local and state
taxing authorities.”

Flaring Facts
21
• Flaring is the controlled, necessary, safe burning
of natural gas.
• Flaring safely combusts gas that cannot
otherwise be transported efficiently.
• Flaring is necessary:
– During well production testing
– For safety reasons
– When there is a lack of pipeline infrastructure
• Efficient pipeline infrastructure offers
advantages by reducing the need to flare.
– In 2013, Texas had 374,318 miles of pipeline and that
number continues to increase

TCEQ: San Antonio Summary
The study was conducted by Alamo Area Council of Governments
(AACOG) contract by the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality (TCEQ). Data used for this project will be comprehensive
and scientific significant surveys, reports, or data that can be used
to determine emissions from oil and gas activities in the Eagle Ford.
• Although San Antonio ozone has decreased over time, there has been a
recent increase in ozone from 74 ppb in 2009 to the 2013 Design Value of
81 ppb. Preliminary 2014 design value is decreased to 78 ppb as of 9/8/2014.
• The highest ozone is measured northwest of downtown San Antonio when
winds are from the north, northeast, east, southeast, and south. EFS
activities are primarily to the south and southeast as is the predominant
wind direction during the ozone season.
• A 2013 analysis of the monitoring data from the site generally upwind of
San Antonio and downwind of the EFS indicated that ozone levels as well
as NOx levels coming into the SA area have generally have not been
any higher during the EFS development.
• An update to this evaluation is ongoing using updated data.

Water conservation
Operations and water management practices are
continually evolving and have changed
substantially over the last two years.• Most of the larger oil and gas companies have some level of recycling
and/or brackish water sourcing.
• Companies are dramatically lowing the amount of water needed in
operations
• Companies in the EFS are increasingly using more non-fresh water sources
– Brackish groundwater use is on the rise.
– Industrial or municipal wastewater: Although difficult to employ in
multi-well pad, companies will make use of municipal grey water in
some one-off wells.
• Transportation infrastructure for water (roads and pipelines) are the key to
better water management solutions. More networks of pipelines to move
water have been installed or are being planned to reduce truck traffic
and move water effectively.

Eagle Ford Shale region is a top priority for STEER
and its members.
• STEER members have programs that
encourage a healthy work environment
• Focus on reduction of work-related injuries
• Safety in Operations
– Protecting groundwater
– Cementing
• Road safety
– Working with government officials and entities to repair roads
