Business Environment

Global Energy Outlook

• Significant energy demand growth:

Population, standards of living

• Need all forms of energy:Increasing role for renewablesContinuing reliance on hydrocarbons (predominant energy supply source)Increasing role for non-conventional crude oil & natural gas

• Environmental challenges• Technology is a key lever

for sustainable growth

Opportunities in Alberta

• Crude Oil“Unconventional” oil - tight oil resourcesEnhanced oil recovery in mature fields - CO2, polymer

• Oil SandsGlobal scale and global focusMining and drillable

• Natural GasConventional natural gas remains important“Unconventional” natural gas - shale gas, coal bed methane

Why is it Important?

• Benefits to Albertans of investment by the oil and gas industry:

……..$1 in investment generates $3 in value creation for Albertans

N.A. Natural Gas Supply Outlook

• Shale gas supply a game- changer

• Technology breakthroughs

• New producing regions

• Emerging stakeholder environmental concerns (footprint, water)

• Shifting S/D dynamic

Implications & CAPP Response

• ImplicationsEmerging supply and demand imbalance in North AmericaPressure on competitiveness and basin economics in Western CanadaPipeline utilization issues: lower volume = higher tollAvailability of new infrastructure: right place, right timeIncreasing focus on offshore exports

• CAPP ResponseA key driver in the Alberta Competitiveness ReviewProactive efforts on pipeline settlements and ratesOngoing focus on alignment of supply and pipeline capacity….increasing focus on offshore markets Canadian Natural Gas Initiative

Short Term Outlook for Crude Oil

• The Opportunity:Improving economy reviving projects - stronger oil prices and lower costsProjects under construction:

• Imperial Kearl Lake• Shell Jackpine and Shell Upgrader (including Quest CCS project)

Projects re-activated:• Suncor Firebag Phases 3 and 4• Devon Jackfish Phase 3 application in 2010• Cenovus Christina Lake – application for phases E, F, G• ConocoPhillips/Total – Surmount phase 2• Husky/BP – Sunrise phase 1

Oil sands attracting foreign investmentEnhanced Oil/Tight Oil opportunities:

• Technology-enabled plays such as the Bakken, Cardium and Viking attracting increasing interest (multi-frac horizontal wells)

• The Challenges:Potential for return of upward cost pressuresEnvironmental performanceOpposition to oil sands development…..the “off hydrocarbons” agendaDeveloping offshore markets

CAPP Priorities

2010 CAPP PRIORITIES – “THE BIG 4”

• Alberta Competitiveness ReviewFiscalRegulatory

• Industry Reputation: (Performance + Communications) x Time

“Alberta is Energy” (also B.C. & Saskatchewan)Canadian Natural GasOil Sands Performance and CommunicationsResponsible Canadian Energy

• Environment Policy & Regulation

• Pipeline Tolls

Summary

Summary – Oil & Gas Sector Outlook

• Near term remains challenging:Emerging from economic downturn….but not out of the woods yetCrude oil outlook more encouraging; natural gas less certain Public expectations of industry/gov’t continue to increaseOngoing opposition from ENGOs, other stakeholders

• Fundamentals sound for medium to longer term:Very large resource base (oil and gas)Canadian industry track record and capabilityReliable supplier with good market access

• Industry leadership:Investing to create jobs & economic growth across Canada Environmental performance supported by strict regulationsDeveloping / deploying technology as a key lever (environment & supply)Addressing public perception of industryConstructive engagement in public policy & regulation

• Require a balanced “3E” approach to public policy
