www.woodmac.com Interesting Times: Navigating the Uncertainties in the North American Gas Market Ed Kelly Vice President North American Gas and Power Wood Mackenzie Delivering commercial insight www.woodmac.com Risks and Uncertainties – On the Supply Side The Resource Base is Vast, but Production Levels and Cost Remain Uncertain 1) Environmental resistance – especially hydraulic fracturing regulations. • Environmental resistance, and political attention, continue to build • Regulatory costs and permitting delays could slow development considerably • And increase the ultimate cost, and gas price, substantially 2) Ultimate shale/unconventional production performance • By 2013-2014, we will know much more about how shale wells perform longer term, and will have a much better idea of ultimate recoveries and production potential for a given well 3) Competition with oil for upstream dollars and services • Companies moving toward oil are moving away from dry gas - gas shale plays must compete for horizontal rigs and crews • A booming opportunity in oil could raise target IRRs on gas plays as producers seek the best margins 2 Delivering commercial insight www.woodmac.com Risks and Uncertainties – On the Demand Side Demand Opportunities Require Major Capital Commitment or Policy Help, while Risks are Few 1) Carbon and environmental policy – coal retirements are the lever • Wide range of possibilities w. carbon depending on the targets, timing, price and investment focus • EPA regulation and pressure on older coal units—how many retire? 2) A weak economy – 1 year of recession takes 2-3 years of demand growth off the table 3) New (or renewed) markets for gas • Gas-intensive industries represent an opportunity, but depend on liquids and global dynamics • NGVs? Difficult competition from plug-in hybrids for passenger cars and energy density issues for long haul heavy duty vehicles 3 Delivering commercial insight www.woodmac.com So How is it Looking? For Supply – Stronger Potential, but… • Haynesville, Marcellus, Fayetteville, Eagle Ford, and Canadian shales all look stronger • How much capital is reallocated toward oil drilling, and how much new capital enters? • How threatened is hydro-fraccing? What will be the results of the ongoing EPA study, and what conditions will the Interior Department place on drilling on federal lands? 4 Delivering commercial insight www.woodmac.com Led by Key Shales, US Supply Growth Continues: for a Few More Months US production Over the last six months, Haynesville, Fayetteville, and Marcellus production climbed by 1.5 bcfd 12 60.0 58.0 10 bcfd 54.0 6 bcfd 56.0 8 52.0 4 50.0 2 48.0 0 46.0 n A -08 pr Ju 08 l O -08 ct Ja -08 n A -09 pr Ju 09 l O -09 ct Ja -09 n A -10 pr Ju 10 l O -10 ct Ja -10 n A -11 pr Ju 11 l O -11 ct Ja -11 n A -12 pr Ju 12 l O -12 ct -1 2 Ann Avg production expected to peak this year and next at 60.5 Bcfd dry. 62.0 Ja US Production currently (Feb) running an estimated 1.5 Bcfd above year earlier levels 14 Haynesville Marcellus Fayetteville Total 5 Delivering commercial insight www.woodmac.com Setting the stage—The next 18 months; breaking beyond coal competition Short-Term Price Outlook Flat supply, firmer global markets, and power demand supports price rebound from current lows 12 Prices below $4.00/mmbtu are likely short-lived (end mid 2011) For 2011, prices recover into the mid $4.00s ($4.60 nom) as the market remains wellsupplied 10 $/mmbtu • 14 8 6 • Drilling levels are vulnerable late in year 4 • Market support develops by winter 2011/2012 ($5.41 2012 price) 2 0 Jan-08 Jul-08 Jan-09 Jul-09 Jan-10 Jul-10 Jan-11 Jul-11 Jan-12 Jul-12 $6.00 by late 2012 CAPP spot Henry Hub CAPP contract Source: Wood Mackenzie 6 Delivering commercial insight www.woodmac.com 2012: Declining rig counts cut into supply and gas demand, and price recovery is hampered by loss of coal displacement demand Drilling and supply 59.5 Power sector summary 600 Decline in 2012 production… 59.0 25 500 58.5 20 57.5 300 bcfd 400 58.0 bcfd …pulls down 2012 power demand by limiting displacement 30 15 10 5 57.0 200 0 56.5 100 56.0 55.5 2009 2010 2011 US Production Sources: Wood Mackenzie, Smith Bits 2012 Key Shale 2013 0 2014 Other Rigs 2007 2009 2011 2013 2015 -5 Normalized gas demand Displacement Weather effect Disp. $4.50-5 Disp $5-6 Disp. $4-4.50 Total gas demand Source: Wood Mackenzie 7 Delivering commercial insight www.woodmac.com How many rigs does it take to hold production flat? About 900, and we’re at the Tipping Point. But – it depends on where those rigs are. With horizontal rigs at record highs and increased rig productivity, rig counts required to maintain production have dropped significantly Rig counts to maintain production at 2010 year-end levels depend strongly on activity levels in key growth shales • The rig count to sustain production could be even lower once a majority of shale drilling switches to pad rigs, after acreage constraints ease Rig counts required to maintain production at 2010 year-end levels Total Rigs Haynesville Eagle Ford Fort Worth Marcellus Fayetteville & Non-shale Woodford horizontal Low emerging shale 1,050 75 70-85 110 90 40 190 Base case 900 100 90-105 90 90 40 160 High emerging shale 780 125 115-135 50 90 40 120 Current 974 172 58 88 90 45 205 8 Delivering commercial insight www.woodmac.com The Resource Base is There: Supply Analysis by Region Shows the Potential for Broad-based Growth (Bcfd, dry) 120 Supply overall increases by 27 Bcfd in the US 2010-2030.
