Fortunate that:• rail is an option• have both BNSF and UP
So where does that leave Wyoming?
• have both BNSF and UP• pipeline additions do happen

Fortunate that:• rail is an option• have both BNSF and UP
So where does that leave Wyoming?
• have both BNSF and UP• pipeline additions do happen
Expect that:• Prices at market hubs and refining will influence delivery mode and netback
il d i li b il ill l b k d f h• Rail and pipeline built will cycle back and forth as explanation for price at any point in time
• WTI via pipe is the long run floor on price
