Gas Abundance, the Oil Crash and the Mid-Continent – a Very Healthy Industry

• What an industry we’ve built
• How we got here
• The breakthrough of gas abundance
• Life after the oil crash
• Demand, pipe capacity and markets
• The Mid-Continent - where it all comes together

The Midwest remains a compelling region as it continues to produce new developments and projects. This
panel provides you updates on the projects you need to know about, including NEXUS, Tallgrass projects
with a focus on expansions of REX, and more. This overview of the midstream construction market will not
only look at natural gas and NGL’s, but will also touch on crude oil, LNG, and industrial gas burn so you’re
in the know on everything.

The shift from chronic shortages to bountiful oversupply in the energy commodity space has changed the dynamic thought about planning, but with shale gas as a cornerstone to the strategic energy infrastructure, there will be inherent volatility ingrained in long-term planning scenarios. The shift in outlook will involve several key areas of focus when looking for reliable service by consumers. The questions one must constantly ask include…

1. What happens to natural gas supply as a function of the low-price environment?
2. When would we need to plan for any changes and what U.S. signposts do I need to track to be ahead of market moves?
3. What do current dynamics say about the short, medium, and long-term energy market?
4. How key will coming crude oil fundamentals be to natural gas markets?
5. The significance of information and critical thinking as winter comes again…which way does winter swing this year?

Don’t risk missing this panel! With all these major changes to our industry constantly creating volatility, companies
are trying to avoid taking risks. This is your chance to hear the best practices for managing risk so
you and your company stay ahead of the curve. Our panel experts have useful information on various credit
options, hedging opportunities with case studies, and a review of the drivers that help determine long-range
forecasting so you know what to look for.

With new infrastructure projects, including expansions and pipeline reversals, bringing even more natural gas from the Marcellus into the mid-continent, how are gas customers taking advantage of this new supply? What are the hurdles to growing the market for natural gas? Gas customers from the region will discuss the benefits and challenges that come with expanding gas supply and demand.
