    The difference in lead time between drilling,processing, fractionation and NGL demand is and

    will continue to lead to periods of market length ortightness for ethane and propane.

    Ethane is balanced to slightly long in U.S. Additional

    length will develop between 2014 and 2016 prior tothe start up of new steam crackers

    Propane is long in the U.S. Exports out of U.S. willsolve the problem in the medium term. Longer term

    issues remain.Exports of butanes and natural gasoline arerequired to keep those markets balanced

    BENPOSIUM 2012 7

    U.S. Cracker StartUps Rebalance and Even Tighten the

    Market

    Base Case includes 5new steam crackers

    starting up between2017 and 2021

    Start up of new units

    brings market backinto balance in mid-2017

    With five units starting

    up, ethane market willbe oversubscribedunless there isfeedstock switching

    The 2011/2012 winterhad 20% fewer cooling

    degrees day than thefive year average

    Current propane stocksare 45% higher thanaverage (16.7 MMbbl)

    Propane Storage inPADD II is 50% higher

    than average

    Propane Storage inPADD III is 45% higher

    than average

    Propane Market Length a Major Factor in Price Changes

    Challenges in the Medium to Long Term Where Will The

    Propane Go?

    2011 Exports to U.S. = 93 Mb/d 2016 Exports to U.S. = 44 Mb/d

    2011 Total Propane Receipts = 92 Mb/d

    2016 Total Propane Receipts = 3 Mb/d2020 Total Propane Exports = 38 Mb/d
