1 The Shape of Things to Come: Incorporating Unproven Reserves of Efficiency Savings into Energy Models Bruce Biewald Presentation to East Coast Energy Group Washington, DC; November 10, 2004 22 Pearl Street Cambridge, MA 02139 617.661.3248 bbiewald@synapse-energy.com www.synapse-energy.com

2 Synapse Energy Economics 1.Marginal costs influence behavior 2.The shape of CSE curves matters 3.Unproven efficiency reserves are typically ignored 4.Unproven oil and gas reserves are not ignored 5.Research is needed to characterize technological change and unproven efficiency reserves

3 Synapse Energy Economics Prices for US Electricity, Gas, Oil (nominal $)

4 Synapse Energy Economics Regional Clean Energy Plans These reports are available on the web: www.repowermidwest.org www.poweringthesouth.org www.westernresourceadvocates.org/energy/bep.html

30 Synapse Energy Economics EIA

31 Synapse Energy Economics EIA

32 Synapse Energy Economics Hydrocarbon Resource Classification

33 Synapse Energy Economics US Oil and Gas (as of 1/1/2002) Crude Oil (billion barrels) Natural Gas (trillion cubic feet) Undiscovered56222 Inferred49232 Unconventional and assoc. gasNA611 Total lower 48 unproved1051064 Alaska2432 Total unproved1301096 Proven reserves24183 Total technically recoverable1541279

34 Synapse Energy Economics Oil and Gas Math Undiscovered +Inferred +Proven reservesGeological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable from know reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions =Technically recoverable reserves Producible using current technology but without reference to economic profitability

35 Synapse Energy Economics IEA Regional Shares

36 Synapse Energy Economics Proven Reserves by Region

37 Synapse Energy Economics Ultimately Recoverable

38 Synapse Energy Economics World Original Resource Base

39 Synapse Energy Economics Annual Production Scenarios

40 Synapse Energy Economics Ultimately Recoverable Oil

41 Synapse Energy Economics Gas Price Forecasts Since 1975

42 Synapse Energy Economics Generic CSE curve corrected

43 Synapse Energy Economics Research Ideas Analysis of CSE curves – past projections v. what actually happened Identify reasons for upturn in CSE price Characterize reasons and quantify to the extent possible – by technology. Apply concepts from oil and gas reserves?
