5% Severance + $0.047 per Mcf • Estimates that the total impact would be 5.8%
• For $0.047 to equal .8% the natural gas price
would need to equal $5.88 per Mcf.
• Based on Current HH March pricing $0.047 would
equal ~1.7%. ($0.047 / $2.83)
Total 6.7%
• Transco Z6 trading at a $1.8671 (premium Non-
winter months trading at a discount)
Total value $4.70 Vs. $5.88
Impact on conventional production

Questions for Wolf:• What will the split be between impact funding and
pensions/general fund?
• How can we find a Wolf administration’s math 101
tutorial?
• Factored into their analysis?:
How much additional gasoline taxes will be collected
from production companies and supporting industry
moving their equipment?
As always, the devil is in the details!
