Transcript of 1 Legislative Session February 17, 2006. 2 Proposed Legislative Changes Increase WPA bonding...
2
Proposed Legislative Changes
• Increase WPA bonding capacity from $1 billion to $3 billion
• Expand State Treasurer’s investment authority to invest in WPA bonds from funds other than just the Permanent Wyoming Mineral Trust Fund.
• Change name from “Wyoming Natural Gas Pipeline Authority” to the “Wyoming Pipeline Authority”.
• Constitutional amendment allowing Wyoming to invest in works of internal improvement associated with pipeline projects.
3
Market Assessment
• Production of Rockies gas will continue to increase.
• There is insufficient pipeline capacity to export this increasing supply – especially in the spring, fall and summer.
• Increased LNG deliveries to the West Coast and Gulf Coast will compete with the Rockies supplies and impact prices.
• The highest premium-priced market for gas is the Northeast.
• Large basis differentials exist between the Rockies and the East Coast.
• At the end of the day – a substantial amount of Wyoming revenue is a function of natural gas production and price!
5
Production Will Increase From These Wyoming Areas
• Jonah/Pinedale Anticline – Record of Decision due on Jonah EIS Q1-06 which will allow for more than 3,000 additional wells.
• BP has proposed spending $2 billion in the Wamsutter/Echo Springs area to double capacity.
• 10’s of thousands of wells remain to be drilled in the Powder River Basin where production is once again increasing.
• Devon has proposed drilling over 1250 new wells in their Creston/Blue Gap Project area.
• Anadarko and Double Eagle awaiting Record of Decision on coal bed methane development in their Atlantic Rim project area.
• Anticipate renewed interest in developing or accelerating production from deep sour productive intervals knows to exist in SW Wyoming and the Madden area.

Next Steps
• Negotiate and execute shipper precedent agreements
• Start NEPA Pre-filing in late October, 2005• Conduct binding open season in Nov. – Dec, 2005• Shipper Board approval required by Jan. 31, 2006• A minimum of 1,500,000 Dth/d is needed• Determine economic viability by February, 2006
21
Increasing Bonding Authority to $3 billion
• Pipe and pipelining costs have increased since $1 billion bonding authority added to legislation.
• Scope of Kinder/Sempra project significantly bigger than 36 inch, 1,000 mile line to Chicago.
• Pipeline companies want single debt issuer to economize on costs.
• If WPA is successful in financing Kinder project, additional capabilities necessary to finance CO2 lines, crude oil, coal derivative and natural gas products lines – all currently being contemplated in state.
• Note: WPA bonds are non-recourse to State and underwritten by contractual commitments to capacity on pipeline.
22
Expand Treasurers Investment Authority
• Treasurer has requested.
• Allows for diversity across portfolio of funds managed.
• Increases ability to invest in greater amount of WPA bonds.
• Decreases bond concentration in any one particular portfolio of managed funds.
• Note: This should also be considered for Wyoming Infrastructure Authority.
23
Name Change
• Wyoming Pipeline Authority better reflects future scope of work we will conduct.
• CO2, NGL, crude oil and coal derivative products lines will be needed in the State in the very near future.
24
Constitutional Amendment
• If industry doesn’t step to the plate………Wyoming needs to have the ability to defend its revenue stream.
