U.S. Natural Gas Production Continues to Evolve

Recent evolution

• Larger wells: average initial production (IP) rates have

more than tripled since 2009

• Longer laterals: average horizontal feet drilled in

Marcellus have doubled since 2009

• Multi-stage fracking: producers have increased number

of stages used in hydraulic fracturing process

• Innovation: operational efficiencies improving drill times

Future evolution - continued technological

advances to reduce costs and increase

efficiencies

• Data processing, better software modelling and real time

monitoring to help with well spacing, space staging,

completion engineering…

• Enhanced recovery factors by experimenting with pump

fluids and recovery methods

• Targeted and steered drilling to make more precise cuts

into deep terrain

• Extracting from multiple benches of production within

same play

• Non-intrusive technologies such as micro-seismic

geophones and electromagnetics.

Opportunities

Demand for gas in Asia set to nearly triple over coming decades

New markets, new buyers and new demand segments for LNG emerging in the region

A more liquid and more responsive global LNG trade will make gas more attractive

But gas growth in Asia should not be taken for granted …..

Challenges

Demand uncertainty a common theme across Asia as energy transition and market liberalisations gather pace

Some new markets will require help with the commercial or technical aspects of LNG

Coal likely to remain cheap – and tempting

Opportunities and Challenges for Gas and LNG in Asia

Gas needs to prove it is affordable, reliable and secure

Market Context

33

Market context for LNG buyers has been evolving in recent years …

Growing Supply

Availability

• Increasing market length through 2019 (+)

• Some portfolio players looking to reduce own length

• Expectations of growing liquidity / spot availability

• Healthy slate of potential new supply projects

Growing Price

Uncertainty

• Reducing Oil Indexation Levels; 0.16 at peak falling to ~0.115 now

• Oil price uncertainty

• Inversion of Spot, Oil-indexed and HH-indexed prices;

Growing Demand

Uncertainty

• Liberalising markets: new players, increasing market competition

• Changing fuel mix outlook: ‘fall’ of nuclear and coal, rise of renewables

• Domestic gas balance; maturing fields, unconventional gas uncertainty

Buyers looking to rebalance their purchase portfolios to include greater spot / ST volumes

10 Ways U.S. LNG is Changing the Global Market

1. Significant new supply source reduces the market power of incumbents

2. Competitive cost sets price marker for new LNG supplies

3. Transparent pricing improves price discovery

4. Destination flexible supply reduces the rigidity of current trade

5. Growth in liquidity will result in development of trading and risk management tools …

6. … and aid the formation of LNG trade hubs in Asia

7. Volume flexibility provides buyers a ‘safety valve’ on supply commitments

8. HH indexed pricing weakens the influence of oil price on the global gas market

9. HH pricing construct reduces pricing volatility

10. Increasing influence of US energy diplomacy

42

Flexibility Liquidity Transparency A more competitive

and resilient trade

system

Drivers

Significant supply at ‘open market’ location

(USGC)

LNG & gas hub initiatives in Asia

New players interested in new instruments

Increase in flexible supply

Any significant disconnect between spot and

term prices

Inhibitors

× Limited buyer-seller alignment

× Current low industry liquidity

× Lack of consensus on location for an Asian LNG

hub

• Market access

• Deregulated Pricing

• Multiple Buyers / Sellers

× Existing long-term contracts

× Established pricing indexes

× Quality constraints

× Storage constraints

× Financing secured through long-term oil indexed

/ HH-plus contracts

43

Will a Liquid Hub for LNG Form Over the Next Decade?

Inhibitors will likely not stop Asian hubs from forming –

but will determine pace and location of hub developments

Summing Up

Flexible U.S. LNG ramping up and responding to global market signals

U.S. LNG has already changed the industry. Providing buyers with;

Price diversification and transparency

Destination flexibility

Increased supply availability and market competition

A sustainably low-cost supply over the long-run

And is set to drive further change

Growing liquidity / hub formation / price discovery

Resulting in a more competitive and more resilient trade system

Buyers can enjoy and capitalize on these functions of U.S. LNG in a direct manner

But Buyers and Sellers will have to work together to achieve the commercial bargain

required to bring on new supply under current low-price conditions

Cheniere able to move quickly to expand its platform with two permitted brownfield

trains, plus enough land at both sites to allow for significant further expansion
