DANIEL YERGIN CHAIRMAN

July 23, 2009 Mr. Torstein Indrebo Secretary General The International Gas Union N-0246 Oslo Norway Dear Mr. Indrebo, I am writing to convey my support for the nomination of David Parker to a third term on the IGU Executive Committee. While there is little that I can say about Dave that is not already well known to IGU members, I would like to mention some of my reasons for endorsing his nomi-nation:

As President of the American Gas Association, Dave represents an important constituency in the US natural gas industry whose representation in the IGU is important to both the IGU and the industry.

Dave is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the industry – technical, economic,

and political – expertise that is valuable for the guidance of the IGU.

Dave has a depth of experience with IGU matters that is hard to match. He has been an ac-tive member since 1999 and has six years’ experience as a member of the Executive Com-mittee.

Dave is one of the most thoughtful and respected voices on natural gas in the United States,

and his opinion carries great weight. Finally, I can personally attest on the basis of many years of personal acquaintance that Dave is possessed of the utmost stature and integrity. He is held in high regard by the various energy indus-tries and within the Washington community of industry representatives. He will continue to be a valuable contributor to the work of the IGU Executive Committee. Yours sincerely,

Daniel Yergin BANGKOK BEIJING CALGARY DUBAI MUMBAI OSLO PARIS TOKYO
