Crude Oil and Natural Gas Prices

Prices say a lot about what has been going on in energy markets over the past decade.  Two significant breaks (decoupling) of natural gas and crude oil prices.

Price of Crude Oil (WTI) Adjusted Price of Crude Oil Differential

Note: The adjusted price of crude oil is the nominal WTI adjusted by the Federal Reserve Bank’s Broad Index. The Broad Index is a weighted average of the foreign exchange values of the U.S. dollar against the currencies of a large group of major U.S. trading partners. Base year is 2002.Source: Federal Reserve Bank.

Center for Energy Studies Natural Gas Uses

Natural Gas Vehicles

• A natural gas vehicle (“NGV”) uses compressed natural gas (“CNG”) or, less commonly, liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) as a clean alternative to other automobile fuels.

• CNG releases over 1.6 times as much energy as that released from petroleum based fuels (or for the same amount of energy, CNG produces nearly 40 percent less CO2).

• In 2008, NGVs used 215 million gasoline-equivalent gallons. To compare, total gasoline usage in 2008 was 55 million gallons per day, or a total of 20 billion gallons.

• Currently in the U.S., about 12 to 15 percent of public transit buses in run on natural gas (either CNG or LNG).

• States with the highest consumption of natural gas for transportation are California, New York, Texas, Georgia,Massachusetts and D.C.

20© LSU Center for Energy Studies

• One major limitation is that CNG vehicles require a greater amount of space for fuel storage.

El t i I d t E i t l R l ti C t U t i t f C lElectric Industry Environmental Regulations Create Uncertainty for Coal

National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)• Sets acceptable levels for six criteria pollutants (carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, ozone,

lf di id )sulfur dioxide).• A network of 4,000 State and Local Air Monitoring Stations is used to determine if geographic areas are meeting or

exceeding the NAAQS.

Transport Rule (CATR) [proposed]p ( ) [p p ]• Issued to replace the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and require 31 states (and D.C.) to improve air quality by reducing

power plant emissions (SO2 and NOX) that contribute to ozone and fine particulate pollution in other states.• By 2014, the rule and other state and EPA actions would reduce power plant SO2 emissions by 71% over 2005 levels.

Power plant NOx emissions would drop by 52%.

Utility Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) [to be proposed]• EPA must set emission limits for hazardous air pollutants. The rule is expected to replace the Clean Air Mercury Rule

(CAMR) and add standards for lead, arsenic, acid gases, dioxins and furans.

Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) [proposed]Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) [proposed]• Would establish, for the first time under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requirements for the

proper disposal of coal ash generated by coal combustion at electric power plants.

Power Plant Cooling Water Intake Structures RuleS ti 316(b) f th Cl W t A t i i t d d t dd i t l i t f li t i t k t d• Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act is intended to address environmental impacts from cooling water intake to and discharge from power plant cooling systems. Requires that the location, design, construction and capacity of cooling water intake structures reflect the best technology available for minimizing adverse environmental impact.

Conclusions

Conclusions

• Speculation regarding geo-political supply interruptions and emerging economies (demand) will keep crude prices high and likely maintain the ( ) p p g yrecently observed decoupling with natural gas prices.

• Shale continues to display great promise and significant challenges –threat to many vested interests receiving significant subsidies (renewables, y g g ( ,energy efficiency).

• There are continued opportunities for expanded domestic natural gas use that should not “eat away” at the considerable reserve developments made y pover the past five years.

• The export of shale production is highly, highly speculative and there are several mitigation remedies for those with concerns (long term contracting, g ( g gproduction sharing agreements).

• Drilling and production trends in South Louisiana are changing in a very unfavorable fashion that will not turn our well for Louisiana if continued.

We are already seeing a movement of relative drilling activity away from Haynesville, and towards Eagle Ford and other liquids-rich shales.
