8 Oil and Natural Gas Wells in Key Reservations in Indian Country 8  24,705 wells in Indian country, located in 11 states  Represents about 2% of total wells in the U.S. (1.3M)  Represents about 1 and 2 percent of national oil and natural gas production, respectively  Top seven reservations have 95% of those wells (23,589) ReservationStateNumber of Wells Percent of Total Number of Wells in Indian Country Uintah and Ouray ReservationUtah10,16141% Osage ReservationOklahoma4,51618% Southern Ute ReservationColorado2,99612% Jicarilla Apache Nation Reservation New Mexico2,2179% Navajo Nation ReservationArizona/New Mexico2,0898% Fort Berthold ReservationNorth Dakota9544% Wind River ReservationWyoming6563%

10 Emissions Sources from Production in Indian Country 10  VOC and NOx emissions from at least 12 activities:  Crude Oil/Condensate Storage Tanks  Pneumatic Devices  Loading/unloading well pad storage tanks via tanker truck  Gas-Actuated (Pneumatic) Pumps  Associated Gas (venting/flaring of gas produced from oil wells)  Dehydrators  Fugitives  Liquids Unloading (removing accumulated water from the wellbore)  Well Completions  Mud Degassing  Produced Water  SO2 removal  Other  Same for other criteria pollutants we’re regulating  Not addressing methane except for co-benefits

11 11 *Monitor coverage indicates the existence of monitoring sites within Tribal land that are reporting data (as of July 2012) to EPA's Air Quality System and that collect the data using Federal Reference Method or equivalent. *
