Iran Has Changed the Game! 21 Iran has re-opened nuclear efforts – New leader not backing down U.S. & Israel will NOT let Iran get nuclear weapons Iran’s 3.9 million Bpd is at risk Situation should come to a head in 6 - 18 months

Long Term, U.S. Gas Will Be Linked to Oil 27 Near term, gas trades 8:1 with crude Weather drives short-term moves Falling supply will ultimately drive prices higher RJ estimate: 2006 = $9.31/Mcf2007 = $10.00/Mcf Could $50 oil mean $6.00 gas?
28
Conclusion 28 Near-term oil & gas price risk Longer-term bullish secular move is still intact Oil should see higher highs and higher lows Gas trades 8:1 through summer Supply interruption wildcards more visable
