Forecast• Three Scenarios

1. Low growth (0.5%) – minimal oil exploration; population g ( ) p ; p pgrows at historic rates; world economies flat

2. Medium growth (1.7%) – continued oil exploration; USCG presence; population growth at recent ratesUSCG presence; population growth at recent rates

3. High growth (3.0%) – increasing offshore exploration; new onshore exploration; USCG facility development; p ; y p ;increasing population
