Luncheon November 18, 2009

Paul Strunk and Patrick Nye with American Shoreline, Inc. located in Corpus Christi will present an overview of the Wind Energy Business and the company’s current Wind Farm Projects in North America.
Mr. Strunk, President of American Shoreline, Inc. graduated from Kansas State University with a Masters Degree in Geology. He has been actively involved in oil and gas exploration for over forty years. Paul has held numerous offices in both the Corpus Christ Geological Society and the Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies, having served as President of both organizations. He has also served as treasurer of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and as chairman of the AAPG Trustee Associates. Paul is an active member of SIPES and has served as a past director.
Mr. Nye, Vice President of American Shoreline, Inc has more than twenty-seven years of experience in oil and gas exploration and development on nearly every major geological producing trend throughout South Texas. He holds a Bachelors degree in Zoology from Texas Tech University. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology from Texas A&M Kingsville. Patrick has served as chairman on numerous committees including the Corpus Christi Geological Society as treasurer, vice president, president-elect, councilor and president. He is a member of the American Association of Petroleum Geologist, South Texas Geological Society and the Coastal Bend Geophysical Society. Patrick currently serves as chairman of the Corpus Christi SIPES chapter.
American Shoreline, Inc. (AMSHORE) is primarily an oil and gas exploration company that began to
explore for wind energy seven years ago. Beginning with a 191,000 acre lease, AMSHORE developed the first wind lease and wind farm on the Texas Gulf Coast with Phase I of the Penascal Wind Farm
becoming operational in early 2009. AMSHORE has since that time amassed nearly 500,000 acres on six wind projects. Paul and Patrick will discuss the current trend of wind energy in the Coastal Bend as well as insights to the future of oil and gas in South Texas. Not unlike oil and gas, wind energy has similar components and various factors that affect the economic viability of each project. We believe wind and natural gas will be an essential part of our Country’s future energy needs.
