8 US Crude Oil Market Analysis: Key messages Growing tight oil production impacting North American crude flows and pricing dynamics. North American crude oil systems and logistics will require significant transformation to deal with the challenges of new supply. Unprecedented build in pipeline, rail, and domestic shipping capacity. A key assumption in this outlook is that US policy prevents crude oil exports. USEC set to become key price setting market for domestic light sweet crude. Sweet crude pricing will entice light sour refiners to back out imports to USGC refining complex. 8

19 A Perspective on the Future Chemical Sector Drivers and Trends? International Trade Pattern Changing? Profitability On a Cyclic Path?

20 Chemicals: Drivers and Trends 2020 Petrochemical investment is reignited by low cost feedstocks, reshaping global capacity and trade patterns. Significant advances continue in the use of methane (coal & gas) as a basic raw material that can be transformed into a broader range of petrochemicals. A deep end-market understanding of consumption incentives becomes more critical as international sourcing options expand throughout the chemical supply chain 20 20

21 Chemicals - Critical & Growing Key ingredients used to manufacture everything Chemical demand consistently expands at rates as much as two-times GDP Most growth is centered in Asia, but other fast growth economies are also expanding Chemicals Trade continues to accelerate around the globe 21

22 Chemicals More of the Story Production expansion mostly in the Middle East or China, but Shale Oil and Gas has placed the U.S. and Canada in a very favorable investment position Economics of energy-derived raw materials represent 60% or more of total Petrochemical production cost and drive capital and jobs decisions 22

23 Global Megatrends center around broad fundamental value creation drivers Demographic Rapid population in the developing world with increased ageing in the developed world shift demand profile Economic Standard of Living rises rapidly, merging developing country standards with that of the developed world and leading to rapid technology take-up Sustainability Growing populations and economies create needs for innovative solutions; market drivers will be likely supplemented by policy Sustainability Economic Demographic Create opportunities Rapid Growing Standard and population populations threats of Living growth for rises and chemical in producers economies rapidly, merging developing the developing create world needs with for innovative country standards with that increased solutions; ageing in market the New geographic & end-use drivers of the developed world and developed will markets be supplemented world (products, shift logistics & channels) leading by to rapid technology Minimum operational footprint demand policy initiatives profile take-up maximum resource efficiency (energy value creation & environmental excellence) Linkages to fast growth markets (BRICS), coupled with an expanded focus on the frontiers (e.g. Africa) 23

25 Demand Distribution Transformation Economic Expansion: Basic demand shift to fast growth emerging economies is evident Investment Decisions: Two Options: Produce in demand centers or leverage a clear cost advantage Tomorrow s Market: Sustainability includes a systematic addition of performance products 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Distribution of Global Demand Basic Chemicals and Plastics All Others W. Europe N. America Middle East Other Asia China Center of the Industry has shifted to Asia 11 25

26 Feedstock Costs are Key to Earnings and Drive Investment Siting Differences in cost position remain very substantial Condensates even favor U.S. vs. naphtha used elsewhere Margins remain very wide for ethane based or close-to-zero for oil based $1200 $1000 $800 $600 $400 $200 $0 Ethylene Cash Cost Comparison (35% of Globe) MDE Canada U.S Ethane U.S. Naphtha 2012 U.S. Dollars Per Metric Ton MDE LPG MDE Europe Asia Naphtha LPG Price NEA SEA Naphtha 19

27 High Oil Prices Mean Profits for Ethane Chain Incentives remain high regarding investment in Integration U.S. Ethane to PE producers enjoy the benefits of a very advantaged gas-oil price ratio Feedstock and ethylene margins support increase in net export activity U.S. Ethane to Polyethylene Chain Margin Distribution Cents Per Pound of Polyethylene Polyethylene Ethylene Ethane

28 Trade Connects Advantaged Hydrocarbons to High Growth Markets Naphtha cracking economics remain in place as the Global Price Maker Business Plans for new capacity will include a significant export presence Exports could represent 50% of future production methane & ethane cost position critical North America Net Exports Million Metric Tons Percent of Production Polypropylene Vinyls Polyethylene % 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0%

32 Conclusions The Path to 2020 Geopolitical events become an even larger factor by underpinning oil prices and slowing economic growth - more volatility and slower pace of surplus absorption Global demand expands at a pace equal to about 4.4% per year driven by emerging consumers Middle East remains the largest source of global supply and its future investments continue to diversify the region s chemicals production portfolio, attracting more participants and creating more jobs New oil based (naphtha, etc.) facilities are still built where refinery integration and/or labor can be leveraged 35

33 Conclusions The Path to 2020 North America becomes a much larger participant in ethane-to-ethylene derivative trade (PE, MEG and PVC) - local demand growth remains modest (~2.0%) Commercialization of bio-based chemicals advances at an accelerating pace pushed by government incentives Coal based chemical production expands where this fuel source is logistically disadvantaged otherwise, coal will be used to offset oil consumption growth India s growing need for products to support expanding infrastructure requires a significantly larger global sourcing program including investment elsewhere 36
