2016 Rockies & West Agenda

•The Rockies are Emerging as the supply region to watch as renewables combine with natural gas to support uninterrupted power demand.
•Heading into the winter of 2016-2017 we all want to know which winter will show up.
•Supply continues to weigh on prices of natural gas when compared to historic levels. Will this winter finally show more supply driven volatility, or are we seeing a systemic shift in natural gas demand?
•CFE has emerged as an impressive system builder. Will Mexico demand impact California supply?
•Permian, Marcellus, Aliso Canyon, Eastern Salt-Dome Storage…what do they have in common?

With major changes and constant motion within the Natural Gas Industry, what does the future hold? The Northeast region - Marcellus and Utica continue to supply the country with an influx of gas but what else and where else can we expect to meet the need for supply in the West? During this panel discussion, the panelists will address project updates on REX, LDC market expansion, Virtual pipeline capabilities, Ethane: Rejection to Recovery and it's impact on the Rockies and MUCH, MUCH MORE....

•Shift back to Demand Pull from
•Producer Push supported projects
•LDC Role going forward
•Future changes for the industry

- US relations and related energy issues in Canada and abroad

Please join our hosts, the Corporate Sponsors, at a cocktail reception in your honor. Don’t make your dinner plans too early as hors d’oeuvres and an open bar will be the highlight of this extremely well attended session!

The energy industry is constantly evolving, becoming more interconnected across commodities and across geographies. To understand the future for natural gas prices in North America, we need to more fully understand oil and liquids dynamics, as well as global supply/demand trends. Knowing that the only constant is change – whether it be new infrastructure, new environmental regulations or new global trade patterns – the need for a robust risk management strategy is more critical than ever before.

Our gas buyer panelists will give you solid and valuable insight into what is currently working, what they have learned from volatility and what they will do differently next time. Topics of discussion to include:
1. Natural gas prices have rebounded from the lows we discussed last year.  How did this affect your business last year and how do you think it will change it going forward into 2017?
2. How will changes to the Southwestern Energy markets affect your business going into 2017?  Specifically,
a. The Energy Imbalance Market (EIM)
b. Increases in renewable generation in the SW markets
3. What impact does the current gas storage levels have on your buying decisions? When will the natural gas industry see a recovery in storage arbitrage?
a. Aliso Canyon
4. When will the North American natural gas market see an increase/decrease in industrial demand (in reaction to low prices)?
5. How will weather affect your natural gas buying and price volatility?
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. How will coal retirements and exports to Mexico affect your future gas buying decisions?
