LNG on the way to U.S. marketsRussian E&P is set to begin shipping as much as 1.5 BCFD of LNG to North

America by the end of this year, with more on the way long term, the firm’s managingdirector said recently at the GasMart 2009 conference and trade show in Chicago.

“We will begin marketing and trading in North America this year,” JohnHattenberger was quoted by the Natural Gas Intelligence Co. “Our goal is to be amajor trading company in North America. We expect to be marketing 3-5 BCFD

through 2020. Our vision is clear.When our LNG does come to NorthAmerica, we will have a huge supplyposition,” Hattenberger was reportedas saying by NGI.

Hattenberger, who also handled LNG for Marathon and El Paso, opened a Houstonoffice for Gazprom in 2006. It has yet to deliver any gas in the U.S., but an indication ofnear term potential was illustrated by Gazprom representatives appearing for the first timeas a sponsor in the GasMart Market Network Center alongside BP and ConocoPhillips.

By the end of this year Gazprom expects to see an additional 5.5 BCFD of LNGcapacity in the world market with around 1.4 BCFD of that targeted for North America.

Exxon joins TransCanada in Alaska pipelineLatest on Alaskan gas coming to market

TransCanada Corp. has brought in ExxonMobil as a partner in its massive AlaskaPipeline Project. With an initial forecasted capital cost of $26 billion, the project will con-nect Alaska’s vast amounts of natural gas to new markets as far away as Chicago.

In November 2007, TransCanada and Foothills Pipe Lines Ltd. jointly sub-mitted an application under the Alaska Gas Inducement Act (AGIA) to build a4.5-BCFD, 48-inch gas pipeline running 1,700 miles from a new gas treatment

plant at Prudhoe Bay on Alaska’s NorthSlope to Alberta, Canada, with an LNGoption to deliver gas supplies to a lique-faction facility at Valdez.

In December 2008, TransCanadawas awarded the AGIA license and a $500 million state subsidy after prevailing in a com-petitive bid process and receiving the approval of the Alaska legislature. TransCanada hasmoved forward with project development, which includes engineering, environmentalreviews, Alaska Native and Canadian Aboriginal engagement, and commercial work toconclude with an initial binding open season by July 2010.

The pipeline has a 2018 in servicedate, and is looking to unlock 35 TCF ofresource potential on the North Slope.

Gazprom eventually hopes to supply10% of U.S. gas consumption.

Kinder Morgan completes Louisiana PipelineKinder Morgan Energy Partners recently completed the 133-mile Kinder

Morgan Louisiana Pipeline project. The 42-inch diameter line will transport gas tomultiple pipelines from the Cheniere Sabine Pass LNG terminal in Cameron Parish. All

of the 3.2 BCFD of capacity on the pipeline is subscribed by Chevron and Totalunder 20-year contracts.

This is the first of three largegas pipeline projects that Kinder

Morgan expects to complete this year.The final leg of Midcontinent ExpressPipeline is expected to be in service by August 1 and that the final leg of Rockies ExpressPipeline is expected to be in service by November 1. Both pipelines should help allevi-ate stranded gas in the Rockies as well as narrow regional differentials.

When REX becomes fully operational, the 1,679-mile pipeline will stretch fromColorado to eastern Ohio and will boast 1.8 BCFD of capacity. About 1,040 miles of REXare in service between Colorado and Missouri, transporting 1.6 BCFD. The 639-mileREX-East segment running from eastern Missouri to eastern Ohio is under construction.

MEP began interim service on a 266-mile section last April.

Kinder morgan hopes to complete theMidcontinent Express and RockiesExpress pipelines by November.

Exxon adds capacity atPiceance processing

ExxonMobil has completed new fieldprocessing capacity at its Piceance Project onthe western slope of the Rockies in Rio Blanco

Co., Colorado. The newfacilities have the capacity

to handle up to 200 MMCFD and include gasand liquid gathering systems, treating facili-ties, a produced-water pipeline and subsurfacedisposal system, and a condensate sales andtruck-loading site. Exxon has been producingin the Piceance Basin for nearly 50 years andis currently producing about 100 MMCFD.

“The key to unlocking the potential ofthis large, technically challenging resource isincreasing production and recovery rates fromeach well at lower cost,” said Rich Kruger,ExxonMobil Production Company president.

“We use proprietary technology to accessup to 50 gas-bearing zones in one well, whichwas unheard of just a few years ago,” saidExxonMobil’s Piceance Project Executive JimBranch. “We can drill up to 9 to 10 wells froma single pad. Each well can recover gas across20 acres below ground. The cost effectiveprocess produces substantially more gas fromthe many zones it can tap from each well.”

Enterprise Products Partners constructednew plant and pipeline facilities at thePiceance project to provide compression, treat-ing and conditioning services, which is deliv-ered to various pipeline transmission systemsthat serve the region.

The company is operating sevenrigs to recover a potential 45 TCFe.

Magnum targets new Rockies storage facilityMagnum Gas Storage has launched a non-binding open season for a proposed large-

scale, high-deliverability, multi-cycle salt cavern gas storage facility – the first of its kindin the western U.S.

The project, in central Utah, will offer customers customizable storage services thathelp balance the fluctuations of supply and demand. Magnum’s storage facility will inter-connect with multiple Rockies pipelines. The project will be directly connected by a newheader pipeline to the Kern River and Questar interstate pipelines at Goshen, Utah, and willindirectly serve the Opal, Wyoming, area market hub interconnections through backhauland displacement.

Magnum is initially developing two salt caverns through solution mining, each withworking gas capacity of 5.6 BCF. Based on current operational and tariff constraints onconnecting pipelines, the project will initially accepting injections of up to 0.30 BCFD andwithdrawals of up to 0.50 BCFD at Opal with 6-9 inventory turns projected annually.

The first salt cavern should open in early 2012. Depending upon shipper interest, thefacility has the potential to offer incremental injection and withdrawal capabilities to cus-tomers able to accept delivery at Goshen.

Kern River Gas launches Rockies open seasonKern River Gas Transmission Co. is holding a non-binding open season to

determine shipper interest in firm year-round transportation service from receiptpoints in Wyoming and Utah to delivery points into California. If sufficient interest is

demonstrated and Kern River decides to proceed, any resulting expansionservice would be available by 2013.

Kern River’s non-binding open season is being held simultaneouslywith Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s California Gas Transmission open season toexpand its Baja Path. The PG&E open season proposes to interconnect with the KernRiver/Mojave pipeline at a new interconnect in Arvin, California.

Kern River expects the most economically viable project to be delivery of200,000 Dth/d to the new Arvin interconnect and up to an additional 100,000 Dth/dto existing or new delivery points upstream of Arvin. The company said it may con-sider a larger expansion if supported by market interest.

The expansion is part of Kern River’s 1,680-mile interstate gas pipeline betweensouthwestern Wyoming and Southern California. The Salt Lake City-based companydelivers more than 1.7 BCFD to markets in Utah, Nevada and California. Kern Riveris a subsidiary of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Co.

Norex begins Alberta pipeline constructionNorthern Explorations was informed by the operator of the Southern Alberta Gas

Project that the company has begun constructing a pipeline to get production to market. Aspart of the project, Norex is also acquiring a 49% interest in a related gas processing andcompression facility, a gas pipeline, additional infrastructure and certain acreage. This proj-ect has been found to have the potential to contain over 8.0 BCF. The company also has theoption to obtain the remaining 51% from the owner over a 2 year period.

The most significant element to the acquisition and overall project developmententails the gas processing plant which was originally constructed in 2004. The plant is capa-ble of processing sour gas by a regenerative solution; it also has sweet gas compression, gasmetering and water storage.

Norex also acquires a network of five, six-inch gas pipelines that connect to a majortrunk line operated by EnCana and that extend towards three gas wells ready for tie-in. Thefinal permitting application process and licensing of the plant will be completed shortly.

SemGroup completes White Cliffs PipelineMay be forced to sell nearly $2.0 billion in assets

SemGroup LP has brought its White Cliffs Pipeline on stream. The 12-inch pipelinecarries crude oil 525 miles from Platteville, Colorado, to storage tanks owned and operatedby SemGroup at Cushing, Oklahoma. The pipeline is expected to meet rising demand for

moving crude from the Rockies to major U.S. markets via Cushing.Current capacity on the pipeline is 30,000 BOPD, and can be expanded to

more than 50,000 BOPD. The pipeline includes a 100,000 barrel tank atPlatteville to aggregate crude from theDJ Basin/Wattenberg area for shipmentto markets downstream.

White Cliffs Pipeline is indirectlyowned 99.17% by SemGroup LP, 0.415% by Anadarko Wattenberg, and 0.415% bySamedan Pipeline.

SemGroup LP – which fell into bankruptcy last summer after its CEO Terry Ronanmade a number of bad bets on the price of oil – is hoping to receive court and creditorapproval to exit Chapter 11 as a publicly traded company. If successful, SemGroup wouldretain its 1,000 employees and Tulsa headquarters, according to the Tulsa World.

Subsidiary SemCrude Pipeline was previously removed from its post as White Cliffsproject manager last summer after defaulting on a loan, but has since been reinstated aftergetting refinancing of the $120 million credit facility to partially fund the pipeline as partof the reorganization plan.

However, if SemGroup LP were forced into a Chapter 7 liquidation of all its assets, itcould generate proceeds of $1.5 billion and $1.77 billion for distributions to creditors,according to the company’s estimates. Meanwhile, the Chapter 11 exit plan, whichSemGroup filed earlier in June, estimated $2.27 billion in equity value for creditors ifSemGroup was allowed to emerge out of bankruptcy as a publicly traded company. Thecompany still owes back payments to a number of banks as well as regional E&P compa-nies, including as much as $30 million to Pioneer Natural Resources and $17.5 million toShell. Also on its 741-page list of creditors are Chesapeake Energy, Devon Energy andSandRidge Energy.

Meanwhile, the company’s ex-subsidiary, SemGroup Energy Partners LP, which hadannulled its asphalt storage contracts withSemGroup after the parent company failedto pay for past services, has now executed

new asphalt storage contracts with various other parties. As a result, SGLP now has 45 ofits 46 total asphalt facilities under a storage contract or lease agreement. The company alsohas agreements with 13 counterparties for its asphalt facilities with terms primarily extend-ing through 2011.

San Antonio-based NuStar Energy has leased three of the asphalt terminals, locatedin Saginaw, Texas; Gloucester City, New Jersey; and Newport News, Virginia, adding 1.5MMB of storage capacity to the company’s asphalt operations.

NuStar said the agreement will give it the opportunity to generate additional salesfrom the asphalt produced at its Paulsboro and Savannah refineries. SGLP will operate thefacilities under the storage agreements and the contract counterparties will operate thefacilities under the lease agreements. The new storage and lease contracts, however, willyield less revenues than those previously received under the Terminalling and StorageAgreement with SemGroup LP.

SGLP has 8.2 MMBO of storage in Oklahoma and Texas, plus 1,150 miles of crudepipeline. SGLP also has 7.4 million barrels of combined asphalt and residual fuel storagelocated at 46 terminals in 23 states.

“SemGroup has leased 1.5 MMB ofasphalt storage capacity to NuStar.”

Current capacity on White Cliffs is30,000 BOPD, and can be expanded tomore than 50,000 BOPD.

Meanwhile, ExxonMobil has also completed a project that will increase capacity by50%, or 30,000 BODP, of its 858-mile Pegasus Pipeline that operates from Patoka, Illinoisto Nederland, Texas.

The expansion includes the reactivation and enhancement of several pump stationsalong the pipeline. The additional capacity will enable the transportation of additionalCanadian crude from the Midwest to Gulf Coast refineries.

The expansion also follows the system reversal on the Pegasus Pipeline back in 2006as part of a process to move Canadian crude shipments down to the Gulf Coast.

Downstream NewsChevron’s oldest refinery faces uphill struggle

Chevron Corp. faces a legal struggle to upgrade its oldest refinery, in the SanFrancisco Bay, after a judge ruled that the environmental impact report for the project wasinadequate. The expansion is aimed at making the 107-year-old Richmond refinery more effi-

cient and flexible, and is part of a larger effort to increase refining profit margins.Construction of the new hydrogen plant started last September. When com-

pleted, the upgrade should allow the refinery to process crude with higher sulfur content.Chevron is making similar upgrades to its other U.S. refineries, but has not yet encounteredsimilar resistance.

The upgrades make economic sense for Chevron. Since 2000, sour crude – whichcontains more sulfur than sweet crude – has traded at a $3/bbl discount to sweet crude,according to a report by Credit Suisse.

Opponents, however, worry that the processing of heavier oil will result in increasedpollution, while Chevron maintains the density of the crude will actually remain the same.For now, the company is continuing with the $1.0-billion project.

Meanwhile, Chevron has said it will sell 70% of the output from its multi-billion-dollar Gorgon LNG project in Western Australia to customers in Japan and South Korea.The customers include GS Caltex in South Korea and three Japanese utility companies.

The project, in which Chevron holds 50% with partners ExxonMobil (25%) and Shell(25%), is one of Chevron’s seven LNG projects in various stages of completion.

The company expects its net LNG volumes to reach 300,000 BOEPD By 2015, morethan triple current levels. In April, the Australian government gave Chevron approval toincrease the size of Gorgon to 15 million tonnes per year, after having received approval fora 10 MMt/y project in 2007.

Chevron, Exxon and Shell are marketing their LNG production separately, withExxon recently agreeing to sell 1.5 MMt/y of LNG for a 20-year period to India’s Petronet,which will use the gas for its LNG terminal in Kochi.

Refinery outage updates• Chevron is conducting planned turnaround maintenance on a hydrocracking unit and

reformer at its Richmond, California, refinery, The Dow Jones Newswire reported. Thework started on May 28 and should last for 30 days.• Sunoco has returned to service the smaller of two key gasoline-making fluid catalytic

cracking units (FCCU) at its Philadelphia refinery. The unit was taken off line in April to cutcosts, but has since been restarted to compensate for a decline in production followingthe recent shutdown of the company’s Marcus Hook refinery FCCU.• Motive Enterprises’ refinery in Norco, Louisiana, resumed operations early following

the restart of a catalytic reformer. The unplanned downtime, which lasted one day,reduced rates at the associated FCCU.• Citgo shut its FCCU No. 1 in the East Plant section of its Corpus Christi

refinery due to an unplanned problem with spent catalyst. The unit is thought tostill be down.• BP’s Whiting, Indiana, refinery FCCU is expected to return to service in late

June after being shut down for planned maintenance in early April. The work wasexpected to end in mid-May. At BP’s Cherry Point refinery in Ferndale, Washington, thereformer and hydrocracking unit were restarted following planned maintenance thatbegan on April 15.• WRB Refining – a joint venture between Copano and EnCana – has begun planned

maintenance at the electrostatic precipitators, or ESPs, at Fluid Catalytic Cracking UnitNo. 29. The work is expected to be completed by mid-July.• Flint Hills Resources is shutting a coking unit in the West Plant section of its Corpus

Christi refinery for planned maintenance. Restart timing unclear, The Dow JonesNewswire reported.• Valero Energy said the restart of a crude unit, vacuum unit and coker at its Norco,

Louisiana, refinery is a least three weeks away. The units were shut due to a minor fire onJune 9. Valero is also delaying the shutdown of its Aruba refinery to mid-July rather thanearly July. Still, the company plans to take all units at the refinery out of service for eco-

nomic reasons, to be reevaluated sometime in the fourth quarter.• Tesoro suffered a power outage at its Kenai, Alaska, refinery on June 4

resulting in the shut down of hydrocracking and isomerization units. Repairs areexpected to conclude this month.

Pine Brook closes $1.43 billion fund for energy projectsNew York-based Pine Brook Road Partners has closed its first fund with total cap-

ital commitments in excess of $1.43 billion. Pine Brook’s investment approach calls forstarting businesses instead of buying companies, investing equity to grow them, and notusing financial leverage to create returns.

In this new fund, Pine Brook Capital Partners will target equity investments of $100-to $200 million. The firm is focused on the energy and financial services sectors.

In addition, Pine Brook usesthe “line of equity” structure thathelps mitigate the investment risk.Unlike traditional private equity and

leveraged buyout investments where all the capital is invested upfront, Pine Brook’s“line of equity” approach advances capital over time as the investment opportunitybecomes de-risked.

The fund has ~40 institutional investors, including Kansas Public Employees Retire -ment System and New York State Teachers’ Retirement System, which contributed $20 mil-lion and $75 million to the fund, respectively.

New Precision Drilling sees a 31% bump in revenueWill issue units, rights, warrants, debt to AimCo for $308 million

Precision Drilling Trust reported a 31% revenue increase and a 15% rise in earningsbefore interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and foreign exchange (EBITDA) forthe first quarter of 2009 compared with the first quarter of 2008.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2009 totaled $448 million compared to$343 million for the same period in 2008. EBITDA was $169 million for thefirst three months of 2009, an increase of $22 million over the first quarter of

2008. The increase in revenue and EBITDA is due to the acquisition in December 2008 ofGrey Wolf an onshore drilling con-tractor with 123 rigs.

Precision reported net earnings of$57 million or $0.30 per diluted unit forthe quarter ended March 31, 2009, a

decrease of $49 million or 46% compared to $106 million or $0.84 per diluted unit in the firstquarter of 2008. Earnings in the first quarter of 2009 were reduced by $70 million, for a $36 mil-lion increase in interest expense and an increase of $34 million in foreign exchange losses.

Precision’s President and CEO Kevin Neveu said: “We have completed the first quar-ter of 2009 as the new Precision Drilling and our results demonstrate that the consolidationof the 123 rigs of Grey Wolf and the 257 Precision rigs has been successful despiteunprecedented declines in activity and customer demand in both the US and Canada. I amespecially pleased with our term contract position for drillings rigs.”

First Reserve closes Fund XII with $9 billion committed Private-equity firm First Reserve Corp. has closed its most recent global buyout

fund, First Reserve Fund XII LP, with $9 billion in commitments. Fund XII was raised inless than a year, a compressed timetable for funds this size.

This fund is more than $1 billion larger than Fund XI. First Reserve chief executiveWilliam Macaulay says, “Fund XII provides us ample equity during what is expected to be

an attractive investment environmentin the coming years. It gives us theresources to continue to secure strate-gic market positions, often with

industry partners, and gives us access to high-quality deal flow. “Energy remains a large, dynamic and complex industry where change creates new,

attractive investment opportunities. Our experience of investing successfully throughoutvarying economic cycles is an advantage in the current environment and will provide long-term opportunities for our valued Fund XII investors.” The firm previously raised $7.8 bil-lion in First Reserve Fund XI LP in 2006. Fund XII may be the largest private-equity fundever formed to make investments in energy. CONTINUES on page 15

A&D NewsSunoco completes Tulsa refinery sale to Holly

Sunoco completed the sale of its 85,000-BPD refinery in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to HollyCorporation for $65 million. The Tulsa refinery, which began production in 1913, hadbeen a part of Sunoco’s refining system since 1968.

Holly paid $764.71 per barrel for the refinery; by comparison, this priceis well below the $4,007 per barrel that Alon paid to Valero to purchase a refin-ery in Louisiana last May.

Sunoco now hopes to focus its efforts on its larger refineries in Pennsylvania,Delaware, New Jersey and Ohio. These large refineries, which canprocess a greater variety of crudes, would sell for as much as$10,000 or even $20,000 per barrel of refining capacity.

Holly will now spend $150 million to add a diesel de-sulfur-ization at the Tulsa refinery. The company also said it will continueto look for similar refineries to purchase.

Meanwhile, Holly Corp. has dropped down to Holly Energy Partners a newly con-structed 16-inch pipeline connecting Holly’s refining facilities in Lovington, New Mexico,

to those in Artesia, New Mexico. The purchase price was$34.2 million and was financed through HEP’s revolvingcredit facility. In addition, HEP has invested $7.9 millionfor additional improvements on the intermediate

pipelines between the Lovington and Artesia facilities. HEP expects the acquisition toresult in $6.6 million of incremental annual revenue. The pipeline will support expandedvolumes from the recent Navajo Refinery expansion.

Holly Corp owns 41% in HEP. The partnership owns and operates pipelines, tankageand terminals in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Washington, Idaho and Utah. In addition,the partnership owns 70% in Rio Grande Pipeline Company, a transporter of LPGs fromWest Texas to Northern Mexico, and 25% in SLC Pipeline LLC, a transporter of crude oilin the Salt Lake City area.

Holly paid only $760/bblfor the Tulsa refinery.

Williams, Atlas close Marcellus joint ventureWilliams closed its joint venture agreement with Atlas Pipeline Partners that pro-

vides it entry into the Marcellus Shale. The new JV, Laurel Mountain Midstream LLC,owns 1,800 miles of intrastate gas gathering lines in the Appalachian Basin servicing

6,900 wells.Williams contributed $100 million and issued a $25.5-million note payable

to Laurel Mountain in exchange for 51% ownership interest in the joint venture.Williams is also operating the gathering system. Atlas Energy

Resources, a leading producer in the Marcellus, will be the anchor tenanton the system.

Back in May, Atlas tested its third horizontal Marcellus well at 10.1MMCFeD. Atlas has five additional horizontal wells already drilled and cased and has nowdrilled and cased eight horizontal Marcellus wells in southwestern Pennsylvania sincecommencing its program in the fourth quarter of 2008. For the three wells on line, pro-duction has averaged 5.0 MMCFD over a 24-hour period. During the remainder of 2009,

the company plans to turn into line an addi-tional 12 horizontal wells.

Meanwhile, Williams Partners said anunderground gas pipeline ruptured at its

Ignacio Gas Processing plant, causing the plant to be shut down. The Ignacio plant is part ofWilliams Four Corners project in Colorado, and has a processing capacity of 450 MMCFD.

Williams has re-routed 250 MMCFD of the plant’s normal capacity to other facili-ties in the San Juan Basin. In addition to the Ignacio plant, the Four Corners gathering sys-tem is connected to the Kutz and Lybrook processing plants and the Milagro andEsperanza gas treating plants in northwestern New Mexico.

The incident will reduce second-quarter cash flows by $5-$6 million as a result ofreduced NGL equity sales volumes totaling 5-6 million gallons at current market prices,reduced gathering volumes of 3-4 trillion Btus and estimated repair costs of $1.6 million.The partnership does not anticipate this incident will affect expected distributions, or havea material impact on its financial position or liquidity.

Harold Hamm buys all outstanding Hiland sharesMidstream firms the Hiland Companies, Hiland Partners and Hiland Holdings

each signed a separate definitive merger agreement with an affiliate of Harold Hamm.Hamm and his affiliates will acquire all of the outstanding shares of each company after

which the shares of the Hiland Companies will no longer be publicly ownedor publicly traded.

In the mergers, Hiland Partners’ unitholders will receive $7.75 in cashfor each common unit they hold and Hiland Holdings’ unitholders will receive $2.40 incash for each common unit they hold.

The transactions will be financed entirely with cash contributed by Harold Hammand his family trusts.

TransCanada recruits Exxon CONTINUED from page 1

TransCanada Alaska Company, LLC and subsidiaries of Foothills Pipe Lines Ltd. willremain the AGIA licensees and TransCanada will continue as the primary point of contactwith the State of Alaska and the general public for this project.

Exxon Mobil, however, is also eligible to receive a $500 million AGIA grantfrom the Alaskan government. TransCanada said it will keep a majority stake in thepipeline, but the two companies will share responsibility for technical, commercial,

regulatory and financial matters relating to the project. The two companies will spend $150million on an open season to solicit shipper interest in July 2010, up from a previous budgetof $83 million. The new partners will draw up a new cost estimate for the project in the firstquarter of 2010, with a goal of opening the pipeline in 2018.

Exxon Mobil is one of Alaska’s main producers, along with BP and ConocoPhillips– who are now building a competing pipeline of their own. Their Denali Pipeline is “stillmoving forward,” BP spokesman Steve Rinehart was quoted as saying in Reuters. Last year,Exxon Mobil turned down an invitation to join the Denali partnership.

Both projects would help unlock as much as 35 TCF currently stranded in Arcticoil fields.

Meanwhile, TransCanada said it will become the sole owner of the Keystone PipelineSystem through the acquisition of ConocoPhillips’ remaining interest in the project for$550 million plus the assumption of $200 million of short-term debt. The purchase pricereflects ConocoPhillips’ capital contributions to date and includes an allowance for fundsused during construction. CONTINUES on page 11

LNG on the way to U.S. markets CONTINUED from page 1

Another 5.2 BCFD or more of LNG capacity will go on-line in 2010, with more than 2.9 BCFD on target for North America, said Hattenberger.

“The recession has led to world demand destruction and increased global LNG pro-duction. Demand in Japan is down, so there is a drive to North America. There areplenty of ships right now to move into the Atlantic Basin. The infinite sink mar-ket for gas is the U.S,” Hattenberger was quoted by NRI.

“Once liquefaction is built, it tends to just run. No LNG player would think aboutshutting down. LNG producers will not turn down production, and they will bring it hereeven at a lower price,” Hattenberger said, explaining Gazprom’s calculation of fixed andvariable costs.

Moreover, the imminent start up of newprojects in Russia such as Shtokman andYamal will produce enough gas to eventuallysupply 10% of the U.S.’s total natural gas consumption. Currently Gazprom, the world’slargest gas producer, supplies 0.5% of gas consumed in the U.S. and 25% of gas consumedin Europe.

Shtokman – one of the largest gas fields in the world – sits in the Barents Sea and isslated to come on stream by 2013, with LNG production commencing in 2014. Gazprom offi-cials said about 17% of Shtokman’s output is slated for North American markets. Gazpromowns 51% in the project, while France’s Total holds 25% and StatoilHydro owns 24%.

Moreover, additional LNG is on the way from other sources, with Sempra Energystriking a deal with Qatar’s RasGas, one of the world’s largest suppliers of LNG, to deliverLNG to the Cameron receipt terminal near Lake Charles, Louisiana. The agreement is for thepurchase of up to 50 cargoes with each cargo containing up to 4.8 BCF of gas.

Construction is nearing completion at Cameron LNG and the new terminal isexpected to go into commercial operation in July. The agreement covers the period fromAugust 2009 to December 2010.

Cameron LNG is located near Henry Hub and the Gulf Coast along the Calcasieu ShipChannel. A second Sempra LNG receipt terminal in Baja, California, known as EnergíaCosta Azul began operations in 2008, making it the only LNG receipt terminal operating onthe West Coast of North America. The project’s capacity is already fully subscribed.

Earlier this quarter, RasGas agreed with Chevron to deliver 2.6 BCFD of LNG to thecompany’s Sabine Pass terminal beginning in July. Since April, U.S. LNG imports haveaveraged “only” 1.4 BCFD, according to analysts at Tudor Pickering Holt & Co., but thatnumber is now looks set to increase drastically in the near future.

TransCanada recruits Exxon CONTINUED from page 9

TransCanada will also assume responsibility for ConocoPhillips’ share of the capitalinvestment required to complete the project resulting in an incremental commitment of $1.7billion through the end of 2012.

TransCanada Chief Hal Kvisle said the oil transmission system will play avital role in transporting a growing supply of Canadian crude to the largest refin-ing markets in the United States for decades to come.

When completed, Keystone will be one of the largest oil delivery systems in NorthAmerica with the capacity to deliver 1.1 MMBOPD. Keystone has secured long-term com-mitments for 910,000 BOPD for an average term of 18 years which represents 83% of thecommercial design of the system. As a result of Keystone’s access to premium markets,competitive and stable tolls, faster transit times, and improved batch quality, it is antici-pated that Keystone will also move incremental volumes for customers on a short-termbasis or under additional long-term contracts. In the future, Keystone could be economi-cally expanded to 1.5 MMBOPD in response to additional market demand.

The first phase of Keystone is currently under construction. It will extend 2,148 milesfrom Hardisty, Alberta to U.S. Midwest markets. It will have an initial nominal capacity of435,000 BOPD and serve markets in Wood River and Patoka, Illinois. Commissioning ofthis segment is expected to commence in late 2009 with commercial operations to followin early 2010. The line will subsequently be expanded to a nominal capacity of 590,000BOPD and extended to Cushing, Oklahoma. Commissioning of the Cushing segment isexpected to commence in late 2010.

Keystone is also currently seeking regulatory approvals to expand and extend the sys-tem by 500,000 BOPD from Western Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast at Port Arthur, Texas,in 2012. Construction of the expansion facilities is anticipated to commence in 2010 fol-lowing the receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals.

The total capital cost of Keystone is expected to be $12 billion, $2.7 billion of whichhas already been spent.

Valero on buying spree Valero Energy is on a buying spree that

is eating up cash previously slated for organicgrowth projects. In the last three months, the

company has acquired sevenexisting ethanol plants and asite under development from

VeraSun Energy Corp. for $477 million.Valero also attempted to purchase The

Dow Chemical Company’s 45% interest inTotal Raffinaderij Nederland NV, whichowns a crude refinery in the Netherlands,for $600 million. The refinery has athroughput capacity of 190,000 BOPD.

In light of this potential investment,Valero said it would indefinitely postponemajor new hydrocracker projects at St.Charles and Port Arthur. “In the current envi-ronment, it makes more sense to acquireexisting capacity at a substantial discount tonew construction costs, as we have done withTRN and the ethanol plants,” ValeroChairman Bill Klesse added.

Unfortunately for Valero, Dow hassince informed the company that Totalintends to exercise its right-of-first refusalas the refinery operator and owner of theremaining 55% interest in TRN.

It is unclear whether or not Valero willpursue its previously planned upgrades. Thetwo hydrocracker projects would have cost acombined $3.95 billion.

Valero said it will continue to seekopportunities to buy high-quality assets at adiscount to new-build price.

Midstream Briefs International• Gazprom has delayed plans to build

gas pipelines to China after the two entitiesfailed to agree on pricing. It was originally

planned to build two pipelines totransport up to over 80 billioncubic meters of gas from Siberia

to China by 2011.

• One South Korean and four Japaneseconstruction firms are asking Kuwait forcompensation after the country canceledletters of intent for a $15-billion oil refinery.In May 2008, Kuwait awarded four con-tracts worth $8.3 billion to four SouthKorean and one Japanese company, butthis March the government decided todelay construction of the 615,000-BPDproject. In December Kuwait cancelledsimilar refinery plans for a $7.5 billion part-nership with U.S. Dow Chemical, citinghigh costs amid global economic turmoil.

• Spain’s Repsol is seeking a buyer forits 30% stake in Brazil’s Refap refinery,which it acquired in 2001 in a deal valuedat $1 billion. The plant processes90 MMCFD, and its capacity hasmore than doubled since 2005,leading many to speculate it could be soldfor more than the $1.0 billion Respol paidfor it. Brazil’s Petrobras holds 70% in therefinery, which accounts for 10% of Brazil’stotal refining capacity.

• Royal Dutch Shell has extended aforce majeure on its Nigerian Forcados oil

shipments until the end of July.Shell’s JV with Nigerian NationalPetroleum Corporation imposed

the force majeure in March, in order to freethe company from contractual obligationsafter its trans-Escravos pipeline wasattacked by militants. Elsewhere, Shell is planning to develop a large LNG facilityin eastern Russia. Shell has 27.5% in thenearby Gazprom-operated Sakhalin 2,which recently began producing LNG off

the Russian coast. The Sakhalin 2 plantcurrently processes 9.6 million tons/year of LNG.

• PetroChina plans to bring itsexpanded Dushanzi refinery online aroundthe end of July. The planned offi-cial startup of the refinery – withnearly doubled annual crude pro-cessing capacity of 200,000 BOPD – mayhelp explain China’s high crude oil importsin May. Dushanzi will be the third majorrefinery to open in China this year.

PetroChina is also constructingpipelines to transport oil and gas fromMyanmar to China. The oil and gas pipe -lines will run parallel to each other. The1,100-kilometer oil pipeline is expected to transfer 20 million tonnes of crude toChina from the Middle East and Africaannually, while the gas pipeline will trans-port 12 billion cubic meters every year.

• Origin and Epic Energy are expandingcapacity on the 935 kilometer South West Queensland Pipeline and QSN Link in Australia.

• ERG SpA and Shell still plan to buildan LNG terminal on the island of Sicily withoperations starting in 2013, well beyondthe originally planned 2010 start-up date.The plant will have an annual capacity of 8 billion cubic meters. Last month localofficials said they were still consideringwhether or not to allow construction of the terminal.

• Eni is attempting to sell its 84,000-BPD refinery in Livorno, Italy, but said it doesn’t expect to make a decision

before the end of the summer.The refinery mainly producesgasoline and diesel fuel. A com-

pany spokesman said he was unsure if the refinery would fetch an adequate pricein current economic conditions.
