Global reserves rising steadily for both oil and natural gas
Challenging Oil and Natural Gas Outlook
• Weak global oil fundamentals
• Weak N.A. natural gas market • Sufficient supplies available below $5/MMBtu prices
• Loosening international natural gas market • Pipeline and LNG supply competition
• Lower economic and gas demand growth
• Lower oil prices reducing LNG contract prices
• Environmental, cost and tax pressures

Confluence of Factors Causing Price Decline
• Slowing global economic growth
• Warm start to winter
• Rising U.S. tight oil production
• Temporary return of Libyan oil production
• OPEC decision at November 2014 meeting not to swing production

Limited Responsiveness of Global Oil Demand to Lower Oil Prices
• Oil demand relatively insensitive to price
• Reduced oil intensity of global economy
• Positive income impacts could be offset by economic slowdown
• Lower consumer oil price decline outside the U.S.
• Strong U.S. dollar (in which oil priced)
• Developing nations removing subsidies and raising oil taxes

Observations
• High cost of oil and gas supply wasn’t sustainable
• Oil market recovery driven mostly by supply response
• Global resource growth suggests increasingly intense competition among suppliers
• Resource-rich areas must offer compelling value proposition to attract investment
