The Utah Petroleum Association (UPA) is a Utah-based, statewide petroleum trade association representing companies involved in all aspects of Utah’s oil and gas industry. We exist to serve our member companies and advance the responsible development of Utah’s natural resources and manufacture of fuels that drive Utah’s economy. Mission Statement Executive Committee Who We Are UPA Administrative Staff & Office Jennette King, Administrative Assistant Rikki Hrenko-Browning, President Josh Demorrett, ConocoPhillips (Chair) Kristina Brown, Chevron Josh Jemente, HF Sinclair Kristen Lingley, Caerus Oil and Gas Brad Shafer, Marathon Petroleum Mike Swanson, Big West Oil (Vice Chair) Lauren Brown, XCL Resources Mike Platz, Silver Eagle Refining Drew McCallister, Greylock Macey Wallace, Ovintiv Jason Ashmun, Javelin Energy Partners Cameron Cuch, Uinta Wax 4 UPDATE
President’s Message Rikki Hrenko-Browning In political circles, fall is often referred to as “harvest season.” This makes sense, especially in election years, because all of the work you’ve put in – the hours and days and weeks of preparation, of backbreaking work, of endless tasks that seem magically not to disappear when complete, but somehow multiply – now finds its ultimate result. In election terms, that result is binary. You either win or lose. There is no third option. When it comes to the oil and natural gas industry, the “harvest season” metaphor still applies, considering fall is uniquely situated in the calendar, torn between the need to wrap up the current year’s projects and the desire to plan those of the next. But our campaigns never end. There is no finish line, and there never will be. The reasons for that are many, but one is that a very vocal and determined subset of activists will not be satisfied until fossil fuel development in all its forms ends permanently. Their campaign season is 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. It ’s easy to get cynical about this fact of our industry, considering ours is a business built on drilling wells, transporting product, refining it into its many uses, and ensuring it ’s reliably there for public consumption af fordably and safely – and not on perpetually counteracting a campaign designed to put us out of business. But we find we’re most ef fective (and happiest) when we choose gratitude instead of cynicism. Because the fact is, whether they want to admit it or not, people do depend on us. And we’re there. The United States oil and natural gas industries are unparalleled compared to those of our peers anywhere else in the world. We drill wells cleaner and with greater environmental protections than any other country. We work in partnership with governments at every level, landowners with either surface or subsurface rights or both, and within communities where our activities benefit the local economy but have much broader impacts. And our refiners continue to innovate in such a way that they continue to increase output and meet our growing needs despite perpetually diminishing capacity in neighboring states. Those elements are all things for which I’m proud to represent in this industry. What fills me with the most gratitude, however, is that these "…we find we’re most effective (and happiest) when we choose gratitude instead of cynicism." Harvesting Gratitude things are not enough for those who work in oil and natural gas. They’re not satisfied with merely – and I say merely with my tongue firmly implanted in my cheek – providing the very building blocks upon which our society runs. No, the people in this industry seek to go above and beyond, become beacons in their communities, help those less fortunate, and of fer a hand to those who need it. In the following pages, you’ll find a litany of stories about our membership putting this philosophy into action. You’ll read about scholarships that have been developed and unique community projects. You’ll see photos and stories from our annual food drive. You’ll get a taste of our constant pursuit of innovation. So, as harvest season comes to a close and we transition from fall to winter and hopefully from an abundance of work to a time of togetherness with loved ones, I’m choosing to harvest gratitude. I hope you’ll do the same, and the stories you read in this edition of Update fill you with pride, joy, and a sense of satisfaction. Thank you for doing the work you do, and I wish you the best this season. Enjoy the issue. 5 UPDATE

Oil and gas emissions, specifically VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and NOx (nitrous oxides), contribute to ozone under certain conditions, specifically when there is enough snow cover and an inversion settles over the Basin. In 2021, UPA kicked of f our “Latch the Hatch” ef fort. Latch the Hatch is focused on a number of actions that producers and crude haulers or trucking companies can take to reduce emissions that form ozone. One simple but critical item is keeping thief hatches closed, hence the name “latch the hatch,” but the program extends to a lot of other ef forts to reduce emissions and enhance leak detection and repair. In our first year of the program (last winter), we had seven companies sign up to voluntarily go above and beyond regulatory requirements to reduce emissions. Some of the very impressive metrics for the first year of the program include: • Installation of a massive amount of signage on site, more than 1,200 new signs, both at the tank batteries as well as at the exits, reminding employees and haulers to keep hatches closed • Replacement of more than 3,900 gaskets to avoid leaks • Installation of more than 35 alarms to automatically notify operators if a hatch had been left open so that it can be promptly closed • Twenty-six requests to hauling companies to join our ef forts and education on the importance of keeping thief hatches closed • Ten hauling company contracts with obligations to keep thief hatches closed • Installation of a LACT (Lease Automatic Custody Transfer) unit, which allows product to move from the tanks to the haulers without opening thief hatches • Twenty-one tank isolation valves to isolate single tanks in pads with multi-tank batteries in order to limit the fugitive emissions resulting from having to open a tank • Two aerial surveys last winter (and more since) identified 20 new leaks that have been quickly fixed We are incredibly proud of the significant work that has taken place over just the first year of this program and are excited about how much more we have accomplished since then. We are growing the number of participating companies and expect the vast majority of the Basin’s production to be covered by operators committed to Latch the Hatch. We have also commissioned more flyovers, found and promptly fixed more leaks, and installed additional LACT units and other investments to continue to tamp down emissions. As we enter this year’s ozone season, we want to remind everyone to do their part. We have put together a flyer that encourages everyone to review and have a ready-made plan of what you and your team can do when you know an ozone event is likely. Sign up with USU’s ozone alert program to receive advanced notifications by scanning the QR code below. Be ready to put that plan into action this winter and help us keep the Basin a healthy and thriving community for our industry! LATCH HATCH THE IT’S THE LAW – INDUSTRY IS STEPPING UP TO VOLUNTARILY CURB EMISSIONS 6 UPDATE
Before a winter ozone alert: o Review information about ozone and the need to reduce emissions. o Update worn or missing “Latch the Hatch” signs. o Clean and maintain thief hatch closure surfaces and replace worn gaskets. Refresh VOC and NOx reduction ideas when an alert starts. Agree on a plan for the alert. Double-check thief hatches to ensure they are closed. Latch the Hatch! Ensure flare/combustor pilots are lit. Double check to ensure that any flares in use are lit. Minimize liquid hauling from well sites other than sites equipped with a LACT unit. Conduct OGI and/or AVO inspections of components. Repair leaks. Postpone or avoid maintenance that could lead to emissions. o Consider avoiding liquids unloading, blowdowns, pigging, venting. Limit vehicle idling. Maintain speed limits. Combine trips (work, shopping, errands, etc.). Delay refilling methanol and chemical tanks. Use only paints, chemicals, cleaning, and personal care products with low VOC emissions. Reduce production as needed to eliminate or minimize flaring. Postpone flowback and completion activities. Postpone or avoid gas releases associated with compressor startups and shutdowns. Reduce circulation rates of glycol dehydrators. Capture/control emissions from equipment. Reducing Emissions During Wintertime Ozone Alerts 7 UPDATE

XCL Resources, LLC (XCL) is passionately committed to the responsible development of its asset base and neighboring communities by using advanced technologies to improve ef ficiencies and reduce the environmental impact of its completion program. Recognizing the air quality challenges facing the Uintah Basin, XCL has focused on how to utilize cutting-edge technology to grow production while decreasing ozone-forming emissions. In mid-2022, XCL deployed the first double-barrel electric frac fleet in the United States. The “double barrel” fleet provides twice the horsepower allowing XCL to frac two wells simultaneously with a slightly larger footprint than a standard frac fleet. In addition, U.S. Well Services (USWS) Nyx Clean Fleet® utilizes field gas instead of diesel fuel to power electric pumps resulting in significant fuel savings of over $500,000 per well and industry-leading reductions in noise, pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The USWS CleanFleet reduces CO2e emissions by almost 20% compared to a Tier II Diesel frac fleet. In a typical month, CleanFleet removes more than 2,650 metric tons of total CO2e greenhouse gas emissions. By using field gas to power the electric pressure pumping, the CleanFleet reduces truck traf fic by over 110 truckloads per month and emits over 90% less NOx, smog, and other haze-causing particulate matter compared to a Tier II Diesel frac fleet. Reducing vehicle emissions from trucks, VOCs and NOx is critical to tackling the Basin’s ozone challenge. XCL has contracted with USWS to supply electric pressure pumping services in the Uinta Basin for up to three years and is excited to continue reducing its environmental impact and improving air quality, all the while responsibly growing production.

NeighborWorks® Salt Lake (NWSL) has seen teenagers who go through its programs eventually start their own businesses or become the first in their families to graduate from college. The non-profit organization received a $50,000 grant from Marathon Petroleum Corp. (MPC) to help expand this success through initiatives focusing on low-income neighborhoods near MPC’s refinery on Salt Lake City’s west side. A large part of MPC’s grant supports NWSL’s YouthWorks program. It assists teenagers struggling academically and socially by providing weekly classes on life skills to help them enter the workforce, such as budgeting, goal setting, resume writing and building healthy relationships. The remainder of MPC’s funds sponsored NWSL’s 2022 Paint Your Heart Out and Rake Your Heart Out initiatives, which involve hundreds of volunteers who paint and clean up residences of homeowners who are not physically or financially able to maintain them. For several years, employees from MPC’s refinery have participated in Paint Your Heart Out, painting houses in neighborhoods around the facility. Creating a new learning path for low-income students in Salt Lake City Marathon Petroleum is helping to bring a new dimension in science education to a non-profit charter school that serves low-income families in Salt Lake City. A $20,000 grant is supporting the construction of the Guadalupe School’s outdoor classroom, which will provide hands-on experiences with nature not previously available at the school, including exploring water features that teach scientific principles. Earlier this year, a groundbreaking ceremony launched the construction of the 12,000-square-foot instructional space, designed to create learning opportunities that support a more robust science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) curriculum. The school includes kindergarten through sixth grade and of fers preschool and adult education programs. Low-income households account for 95% of the students on the campus near Marathon’s Salt Lake City refinery. Making dental care accessible to underserved youth Marathon Petroleum Corp. (MPC) is connecting underserved youth who live near its Salt Lake City refinery with dental care they may not be likely to receive otherwise. MPC gave a $50,000 grant to the Roseman University College of Dental Medicine to fund two events in 2022 where children and teens 18 and younger from qualifying low-income households received free dental screenings and cleanings. According to the Centers for Disease Control, about 20% of children between five and 11 years of age have at least one untreated, decayed tooth, and children from low-income families are twice as likely to have cavities as children from higher-income households. Marathon: Building on the “Firsts” That Come From Empowering Our Future Workforce The YouthWorks program involves teenagers in courses on pre-employment and life skills, such as budgeting and resume writing, as well as projects to revitalize and beautify neighborhoods This rendering depicts the future outdoor classroom at the Guadalupe School where Marathon Petroleum is providing a water instruction section to teach students about the concepts of flow, force and cause-and-effect. Marathon Petroleum’s grant provided free dental screenings and cleanings to youth 18 and younger from qualifying low-income households. 10 UPDATE

Uinta Wax & Finley Resources: A Company Culture of Giving Back Roosevelt-based Uinta Wax & Finley Resources has more than 100 employees, with operations extending from Horseshoe Bend on the west to Fruitland on the east and Bennett on the north to Parriette on the south. Earlier this year, they participated in Field Clean Ups in Uintah and Duchesne counties to tidy up local communities. Employees, assisted by a few contractors, picked up an estimated 12,000 lbs. of roadside debris, spending approximately 1,200 man hours over two days, cleaning up many of the roads in those counties. The cleanup efforts covered 27 miles of Uintah County roads and 25 miles of roads in Duchesne County. In total, more than 400 trash bags were deployed, along with D&M Hot Oil picking up multiple loads of trash in their dump trailer. Lunches were provided by NOV, Inc. and Sunbelt Rentals of Roosevelt. “We honestly look forward to these opportunities to get out and make a dif ference in our Basin community,” said Leslie Pearson, Landman for Finley Resources. Adding, “Our families live, work and play here. We love our Basin home. Why not spend a little time making it even better?” This is just one of the many ways that Uintah Wax & Finley Resources gives back.

▪ Wildlife & Energy Photo Contest -- Call for Entries -- The premise that man and nature cannot co-exist, that where man encroaches, wildlife scatters and dies out, is simply untrue. When the Alaskan pipeline was being built, environmentalists bemoaned the fate of the caribou saying the animals would suffer immensely. The exact opposite happened. In Prudhoe Bay, caribou herds have quintupled since production began in early 1978. The caribou often used the oil field equipment and the adjoining Alaskan pipeline for a windbreak and warmth when temperatures are a frigid 40 degrees below zero. In New Mexico, many species of wildlife use equipment in a productive manner. Birds will use elevated surfaces as foundations for nests and deer use the equipment for a windbreak and warmth. UPA wants to highlight the great wildlife diversity that exists around energy structures and through this contest, members could win cash prizes for the best photo or video demonstrating wildlife adapting to manmade changes in their environment. Cash prizes for our top 3 photos: 1st Prize - $1000 2nd Prize - $500 3rd Prize - $250 Winners will be revealed at our Annual Meeting on March 7th (submissions close Feb. 1, 2023) Photos must be original and contain both wildlife and energy structures or equipment.
