Trading Considerations

� Maritime issues in transportation– Scheduling, diversions, force majeure

� LNG terminals as a gas asset– Storage, sendout, pipeline interconnections

� Regulatory considerations– Hackberry rule, EPAct 2005, anti-manipulation legislation

� Role of conventional assets– Underground storage, pipeline transport, power generation

� Valuing destination options� Services for the supply community

– “Put” rights, ratability services, bundled risk management
