Talking points

3

• This summer saved us – storage at unforeseen levels could pressure near term price outlook

• North American production growth continues to shape market; breaking traditional flow patterns and pricing relationships

• Drilling economics favor wet plays with NGLs or Oil over dry Natural Gas plays.

• US production growth is very focused on the Utica and Marcellus plays in the Northeast.

• Gas fired power generation demand rises while industrial demand growth increases especially in the Gulf Coast.

• New North American gas production exceeds domestic demand growth in forecast; exports (LNG + Mexico) required to balance market

Key Takeaways

31

• Year on year production growth coupled with weather are key to determining the storage situation

• North American production growth continues to shape market; breaking traditional flow patterns and pricing relationships

• In current price environment drilling economics favor wet plays with NGLs or Oil over dry Natural Gas plays
