1 Economic Impacts of LNG Imports to Atlantic Canada Study Release : February, 2006 Source : FERC 1

2 Purpose of Study What impact will the proposed LNG terminals or CNG deliveries have on several gas pipelines in the US Northeast, Quebec and the Maritimes. What is the landed cost of LNG for the proposed terminals accounting for liquefaction, shipping, storage and re-gasification. What is the landed cost of CNG sourced from the Grand Banks. What is the potential increase in market absorption of natural gas in Atlantic Canada as a result of the development of LNG terminals. What facilities will be required to transport excess volumes of gas to the US Northeast and US Mid Atlantic markets. What opportunities for the region could materialize as a result of LNG and CNG supply availability. Could LNG imports displace or delay future production from the East coast of Canada. What impacts on Atlantic Canada s economy could materialize as a result of the LNG terminal development. 2

42 Summary The variety of LNG supply countries, and the size of the reserves backstopping the liquefaction terminals coupled with the expanded development of the LNG shipping fleets will lead to a secure energy supply system into the future. LNG can be delivered to Atlantic Canada at a cost of $3.00 to $4.00. Pipeline expansion will increased net back prices. Deep Panuke and CNG development could be delayed if LNG terminal development in Canada and the Northeast over load the Northeast market and pipelines remain capacity limited. LNG terminals in Quebec offer a second source of supply and would experience a positive $0.80 producer netback over supplies delivered to the Gulf of Mexico. The most direct impacts of LNG terminal development in Atlantic Canada is the security of supply, potential for industrial, and commercial developments and increased royalties from the SOEP project. 42
