3 Natural gas prices in U.S.: A journey
Source: NYMEX, ICE 5/1/2018 Cold weather leads to a record storage withdrawal Cold weather sets in, storage dips below 5-year average Warm winter, end of March storage levels at 5-year high Mild winter weather, storage levels near capacity Warmer summer increased power demand

4 Commodities are more interconnected than ever before…
Biogas Nat gas Power C2 C3 nC4 iC4 C5 NGLs Oil LNG Naphtha Chemicals

5 … and regulatory and political landscape is evolving
Methane restrictions roll-back Oklahoma earthquakes Water disposal Severance taxes Frac sand mining Offshore access FERC quorum Pipeline permits PHMSA regulations Tax reform Free trade agreements Solar panel / steel / aluminum tariffs EPA rollbacks (CPP, O3, coal ash, etc.) Paris rollback ITC/PTC Nuclear ZECs DOE NOPR on grid resiliency RGGI Tightening (+NJ?) Rising RPSs (CA, MA, WA, etc.) Net metering Renewable Fuel Standard (i.e. RINs) And don’t forget the financial sector… CFTC Commissioners Volcker rule Dodd Frank Federal reserve restrictions

12 Key insights North American market works: price works to balance supply and demand Commodities more interconnected: many more variables to consider Evolving regulatory & policy landscape could impact investment risk across value chain Structural demand changes are here: significant investment in new industrial plants, generation capacity & export facilities Volatility is not dead: Risk management is critical
