  1. “A FERC Perspective on Natural Gas Issues” The Honorable Suedeen G. Kelly Commissioner, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission IPAA 2004 Mid-Year Meeting June 14, 2004

  2. Rig Count Responds to Higher Prices • The rig count levels off at around 1,000 rigs with a muted response to higher prices. • Although utilization is at 75% to 80%, additional drilling will be limited by the quality of prospects. • Much of the drilling is lower risk- development versus exploration. Rig Count versus Gas Price Exploration as a Percentage of Total Drilling Capital U.S. Gas Drilling and Gas prices, 6-Month Lag Sources: OMOI analysis, Baker Hughes, Platts Gas Daily, some underlying data from Banc of America Securities

  3. Supply Is Not Rebounding; The Nature of Proven Reserves May Be Changing Drop in Proved Reserves Added • Reserves added per well have declined since 2000. • 3-D seismic contributed to growth in proved reserves per well during the 1990s. Similar growth rates may be difficult to repeat in the near-term. • Proven Undeveloped Reserves (PUDs) have increased. • Converting PUDs to proved developed producing reserves (PDPs) requires capital and typically one to two years. • Represent a backlog of prospects but also entail higher risk. Reportedly, 75% of El Paso’s revisions involved PUDs. Domestic PUD and Replacement Percentages Sources: OMOI analysis, EIA, some underlying data from Banc of America Securities

  4. Higher Prices Have Improved Financial Returns but Sustainable Domestic Investment is Limited Percentage Return on Capital Each bar represents one year from 1993–2004 1993–2003 Average • Returns are lower for independents with neither downstream nor international operations and for majors too big to grow domestically and unable to compete internationally with the super majors. May lead to more consolidation. • Only the super majors, on average, earn attractive returns given risk. The majors and independents have difficulty recovering their cost of capital. • The domestic industry is struggling with balancing financial returns and production growth. Sources: OMOI analysis, percentage return on capital data from CERA (1993-2002) and Bloomberg, L.P. (2003)
