4 The World of Energy Behind and Beyond Forecasts What is an energy Price Reporting Agency? Market Reporting Consulting Events

5 What is a Price Reporting Agency (PRA) 5 Publishers of commodity market data Prices, reports and databases Informed comments, analysis and news Provide definition to non-standard (spot) physical markets Define the methodology of published prices and ensure it is transparent Define the basis, location, size, time period and specification of the contract being assessed or reported Collect, collate, clarify and verify market information Explain and justify decisions Operate according to best practices and IOSCO Principles

6 How does the PRA system work? 6 Commodity trading companies voluntarily submit pricing or transaction data to the publisher by phone, , IM, trading platforms, etc. Publishers validate and organize the data and create price assessments, making sure published methodology is used. These price assessments are offered to the industry on a subscription basis. Indices are used in: Term contracts - Financial derivatives Financial reporting - Internal transfer pricing, etc. In petroleum, about 10% of physical moves on spot, and 90% on contracts tied to published index prices

7 Who are the PRAs? 7 Globally recognized energy related PRAs are: Argus ICIS OPIS Platts In addition, some entities are not PRAs but do provide commodity price references, such as the CME and Ice s trading platforms, as well as Thomson Reuters, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, Global View, etc.

8 Argus Media Inc. and Argus Consulting Services staff members in 21 global offices Publishes 11,000+ daily spot and forward price assessments Publisher of commodity prices, data and statistics, with consultancy services and conferences.

10 Forecasting is an art 10 Source: EIA

11 Scenario based forecast Offers more value than single, most likely forecasts. Gives the opportunity to pick a preference or probability, weight the various scenarios or perform stress tests by combining the forecasts with their business model. Provides better insights than a traditional sensitivity analysis because no single variable ever changes alone. There is significant correlation between common valuation variables.

Marine Pollution International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships MARPOL Annex VI limits bunker fuel sulfur to 0.5% on 1 January 2020 MARPOL will likely be the most significant event in decades The shipping industry is responsible Demand for low sulfur fuels (and light/sweet crudes) will increase There will be winners and losers Gasoline and other feedstocks will also be affected MARPOL s biggest unknown is the level of non-compliance

41 The World of Energy Behind and Beyond Forecasts Concluding thoughts Market Reporting Consulting Events

42 42 Concluding thoughts PRAs own their market fundamentals data. Forecasting is an art: You need an experienced multifaceted expert to lead forecasts. Scenario-based forecasts are more powerful and useful than single line forecasts. Risk issue identification and development is critical. It all starts with refined product demand forecast. Shale exploration transformed US. Chinese growth shapes the world of energy. Refining competition has turned global, not just local. Alternative sources are growing and help shape our world of energy. Escalating global product trade will set price relationships. Every molecule counts!
