Today’s Discussion • North American Demand Projections • Supply Response to Rising Prices • Realigning Midstream Infrastructure • Natural Gas Prices • Natural Gas Storage • Signposts Beyond the Near-term
USA demand continues to rise . . . Source: EIA AEO 2007
. . . as does Canadian demand, reducing the availability of gas supplies for export to the USA Source: EIA
Residential demand is forecasted to increase 21% by 2020 Source: EIA
Commercial demand is forecasted to increase the fastest: 31% by 2020 Source: EIA
Industrial demand is forecasted to rebound from recent declines and grow by 21% through 2020 Source: EIA
Electric-power generation involves a variety of fuels, including natural gas which has been the fastest growing fuel of choice in recent years Source: EIA Data as of 2005
By 2030, coal is expected to comprise a larger proportion of the USA electric-power generation fuel portfolio Source: EIA
North America includes many different gas-producing basins in different states of development Alaska North Slope Mackenzie Delta Mid-Continent Western Canada Rockies Gulf Coast Gulf of Mexico (GOM)
Gulf of Mexico (GOM) production has become more significant and complex Represents ~20% of “Lower 48” gas supply Shallow water/deep gas is a wildcard Deepwater increases thru 2012 Source: TGS
Offshore GOM production will steadily decline in response to rising production costs Source: Lippman Consulting, LEG/B&V Analysis
Canadian production is expected to decline and the decline is compounded by delay in the Mackenzie Valley project Source: LEG/B&V Analysis
Substantial LNG imports will be needed to meet demand Source: LEG/B&V Analysis
Non-conventional production is a growing source of natural gas supply Source: EIA, AEO 2007
USA Rockies non-conventional production is providing valuable relief to supply constraints
Mid-Continent production is expected to grow on the strength of non-conventional shale gas plays Source: LEG/B&V Analysis
Mid-Continent production is projected to increase due to Fayetteville Shale prospects • Fayetteville Shale is a Mississippian-age shale accumulation located in Arkoma Basin across several counties of Arkansas. • Southwest Energy, the dominant player in the play, has drilled and completed 172 wells as of Dec. 31, 2006, of which 92 are horizontal wells. • Assuming average well ultimate recovery of 1.4 Bcf and 80-acre spacing, Southwest Energy estimated an ultimate recovery of over 11Tcf • Fayetteville shale production forecast is based on Lippman Consulting projections and an assumed growth rate
Barnett Shale (north-central Texas) – peak production not expected for another 10 years Source: LEG/B&V Analysis
Woodford Shale, East OK also provides Mid-Continent production with upside potential • Woodford shale is the geological equivalent of Barnett Shale and Fayetteville Shale in East Oklahoma on the west part of the Arkoma basin. • Major players in Woodford shale include Newfield Exploration and Devon Energy. Newfield plans to drill 233 to 322 new wells by 2009. • Newfield Exploration estimates the ultimate recoverable reserves ranges from 2 – 5 Tcf • Woodford Shale production forecast is based on Lippman Consulting projections

North American supply realignment is driving new strategies and infrastructure investments
Rockies gas producers are targeting eastern markets Zone 3 – Lebanon to Clarington In Service: Jun-09 Capacity: 2.0 bcf/d FT rate: $1.094 Fuel: 2.22%
Producer commitments to new pipeline capacity is a valuable sign of confidence in supply certainty • Status: Conducting a binding Open Season, to be completed Jan-07 • Texas Panhandle to Alabama • Expected Capacity: 1.4 Bcf/d to CGT, 1.0 Bcf to Transco St 85 • Expected in-service date – Feb 2009 • Proposed Recourse Rate: • Zone 1: Daily Demand $0.31 • Zone 2: Daily Demand: $0.24
Additional NG pipeline capacity is expected from the Boardwalk/Gulf South – Gulf Crossing Project • 355 Miles Interstate Pipeline from Sherman, TX to Perryville Hub • Expected Capacity: 1.65 Bcf/d • CapEx: 1.1 Billion • Expected in service date: 4th Quarter, 2008 Source: LEG/B&V Analysis
Mid-continent supplies and pipelines will increase supplies to the Southeast USA Transco (3.4 Bcfd) Southern Natural (1.3 Bcfd) Florida Gas (2.1 Bcfd) Gulfstream (1.13 Bcfd) Source: Energy Velocity
Prices across the USA remained volatile in winter 2006-07 although lower than high levels experienced in winter 2005-06
Near-term Henry Hub prices are expected to remain in the range of $6 to $9 / Dth
Natural gas storage must provide the critical flexibility and security to optimize LNG sales and satisfy demand Source: Energy Velocity
Storage inventories have been close to 5-yr highs since 2006 EIA Weekly Storage Level and 5-yr range
Basis prices may evolve to reflect wider western and eastern Gulf price spreads Pascagoula Area West LA Area Sabine Pass - West LA LNG Sites Henry Hub Area Pascagoula LNG
Many new gas storage facilities have been proposed along the Gulf Coast where pipelines and LNG terminals will connect Source: Energy Velocity
Expansion of Previously Built Storage New Storage Field Proposed Storage Field New storage will be justified as LNG imports and markets grow 100% of current Gulf Coast LNG regas capacity Golden Triangle Storage Source: Energy Velocity

A power market dominated by gas and coal offers numerous solutions to carbon limitations • Fossil fuel options for a clean environment are at the forefront of complex utility IRP decisions • Successful investment decisions will turn on numerous dynamic variables • Carbon legislation inserts a wild card into long-lead investment decisions
Kermit was right: “It’s not easy being green” • A 2006 Black & Veatch survey of utility executives showed that 72% believe that federal legislation to limit carbon emissions will be approved in the next five years. • The focus on carbon has redoubled political and popular interest in renewable and nuclear power alternatives to fossil fuels in the generation of electricity • But for all the rhetoric, economics and pragmatism mean that natural gas and coal resources must continue to shoulder society’s need for power • For this reason, our interest in carbon legislation focuses on the tipping point where the incentives for gas or coal use become significantly skewed toward either fuel
