2015 Rockies & West Agenda

The Shale revolution transformed the US hydrocarbon markets and thrust natural gas into a decade of abundance. Could low prices threaten that abundance? As supply collides with demand, the resultant price signals become hard to decipher and a balancing act ensues; between supply and demand, between upstream and downstream, between East and West. Inefficient players will topple. Those left standing will be the ones who stay abreast of the shifting market dynamics, both domestically and globally.

Our gas buyer panelists will give you solid and valuable insight into what is currently working and what they will do differently next time.

Discussion Questions to include:

1. What will be the impact from electric generation power burn?
2. How will the reversal of REX have an impact on your business?
3. When will the natural gas industry see a recovery in storage arbitrage and how much storage do you think we will get in the basins this year?
4. When will the North American natural gas market see an increase in industrial demand (in reaction to low prices)?
5. Thoughts on El Nino?
6. What buying or pricing strategies are you currently employing, for instance, what if any long-term purchases are you making or how are you managing hedging activities?
7. What factors, other than price, influence your decision to choose one supplier over another?
