⚫ Crude markets remained fairly range-bound in July,
moving in a ~$2 band with the $40 level providing trading
support for WTI. If markets were up this month there was
typically a headline around a promising COVID-19 vaccine
trial or news that the U.S. was close to implementing
another round of stimulus. If the markets were down the
discussion was of virus spread through the southern
states and the impact on product demand or the “second
wave” globally threatening another round of lockdowns.
This month did see China slowing significantly on their
crude buying as they ran out of storage space since
stocking up on cheap crude in April and May, while OPEC
decided not to extend their ~9.7 MMbbl/d cuts, instead
reverting to their original plan of 7.7 MMbbl/d for August
(with countries who did not fulfill their original quota cutting
deeper to make up the difference). Fundamentals trended
to the positive side on the month with U.S. crude storage
decreasing a total of ~7.5 MMbbl, however, product stocks
are still well above last year’s levels. In other market
news, the U.S. continues to face infrastructure challenges
as the Dakota Access Pipeline was ordered to shut down
as it was ruled that the Army Corps of Engineers failed to
produce an adequate environmental impact statement -
the case is currently undergoing an appeal process. Front
month differentials in Canada remained fairly tight with
WCS exiting the month at $-7.76/bbl and MSW closing at
$-3.25/bbl. The market is currently watching how
Canadian producers will ramp production (particularly after
all maintenance is complete) and if there will be a need for
rail in the near-term based on supply egress balances

CRUDE
⚫ NYMEX: Languished between 1.59 – 1.93 US$/MMBTU
throughout July before catching a very strong bid on
August 3rd that took the September contract up to
2.10 US$/MMBTU. There was a confluence of bullish
factors leading to the move including forecasted
mid-August heat, weak production in the Haynesville and
Permian, and a surprising jump in LNG feed gas into the
Gulf. This means the market will enter the heating season
with slightly less gas in storage, hence the bullishness
exhibited across the gas curve this week
⚫ AECO: Through July production delivered to NGTL
averaged 11.45 Bcf/d, storage injections of 1.35 Bcf/d, and
intra demand of 4.49 Bcf/d. Production continues to shake
out lower vs. previous months as curtailed oil wells shut in
associated gas and natural declines kick in. Injections into
storage continue to be very strong compared to years
gone by as less production, capability additions (added
compression, twinning pipes etc.), and TC Energy’s
Temporary Service Protocol allow for a fully functional
storage market. Current AECO storage inventory sits at
364 Bcf which is 76% full and some 100 Bcf ahead of this
time last year. We expect AECO storage to fill near
capacity as we enter the heating season in November.
Intra demand does continue to lag, however, with the oil
sands taking 200-300 MMcf/d less than this time last year
August 6, 2020
⚫ The Canadian new issue market raised gross proceeds
of approximately C$2.7B in July 2020 with no
transactions in the energy space
3
⚫ The U.S. High Yield market saw eight issuers price nine
tranches to raise $6.1B in total proceeds in the last week
of July; six of these tranches were upsized due to strong
investor demand. Opportunistic refinancing and GCP
continue to be the primary drivers of supply
⚫ Cenovus Energy (Corporate: Ba2/BBB-/BB+/BBBL;
Unsecured: Ba2/BBB-/BB+/BBBL) priced a US$1B
(upsized from US$750MM) tranche of 5.375% five-year
senior bullet notes. Terms were finalized at the midpoint of
guidance. Cenovus Energy is an integrated oil and natural
gas company based in Calgary, Alberta. The company
develops, produces, and markets crude oil, natural gas,
and natural gas liquids in Canada, and also owns refinery
sites in the United States. Proceeds will be used to repay
drawings under the company’s revolving credit facility
⚫ Rattler Midstream (Corporate: Ba3/BBB-/BB+; Unsecured:
Ba2/BBB-/BB+), technically a “crossover” deal with an
investment grade rating from S&P but it was sold primarily
to High Yield investors with a High Yield structure –
Rattler, a subsidiary of investment grade-rated E&P
Diamondback Energy, is the owner, operator and
developer of midstream infrastructure assets in the
Permian Basin, priced $500MM of 5NC2 Senior
Unsecured Notes due 2025 at 5.625%. Price talk was
5.75% area. Proceeds will be used to refinance revolver
drawings (10-July)
⚫ Saipem (Corporate: Ba1/BB+; Unsecured: Ba1/BB+), an
Italian based OFS company, priced €500MM of 6NCL
Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 at 3.375%. Price talk
was 3.50% area. Proceeds will be used for general
corporate purposes (07-Jul)
⚫ The U.S. High Yield Energy Index tightened ~162 bps and
the broader U.S. High Yield Index tightened ~139 bps in
July

Energy Review. Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) ST98 updated June 2020, Canada Energy Regulator (CER) Provincial and Territorial Profiles – Alberta updated June 24, 20201. LNG demand assumes the Woodfibre LNG project is operational by 2025, and the LNG
Canada is operational with Trains 1 & 2 in 2025 and Trains 3 & 4 by 2030

2016-2020 Range 2020
⚫ Data through April 2020 suggests that the global pandemic
and resulting economic shut-down has not significantly
impacted Canadian or U.S. natural gas production and
demand
⚫ Demand for both Canada and the U.S. has remained at or
near five-year highs
⚫ While Canadian production is near the five-year low, this
trend started well before the pandemic events and the
reduction is due primarily to reduction in exports to the United
States
⚫ While exports are forecast to continue declining, demand
growth will be more than offset with the following three
sectors:
◼ Coal-to-Gas conversions for electricity (+0.7 Bcf/d)
◼ Oil Sands growth (+0.8 Bcf/d)
◼ West Coast LNG project (+3.9 Bcf/d)
⚫ Historic low rig counts combined with five-year production
lows and near-term demand growth points to improving
support for WCSB gas

Location and Drilling wells defined as wells licensed or licensed and spud in the last twelve months (LTM), with no rig release date on record. Standing wells are defined as wells that have not produced but
have a rig release date within the LTM. Producing wells include water injectors that support production All wells with no production and a rig release prior to January 2012 are not shown. All wells with no
production in LTM not shown. As of the August 2018 Market Monitor, thermal production in Saskatchewan is now excluded from the “Other” play category. Production volumes are raw
