Key Conclusions
z LNG Projects Have Higher Capital Costs and Therefore Greater Risk than a
Pipeline Project
z Similar to an Overland Project, Price Remains the Primary Risk to a LNG Project
z LNG Projects Have Positive NPVs with Base and High LNG Price Assumptions
z The 4.5 Bcf/d Proposal Base Case Project Produces a Higher NPV than a 4.5
Bcf/d LNG Project
z A Sustained High Oil to Gas Price Relationship is Required for an LNG Project
to be Favorable when Compared to an Overland Route

Oil and gas forward markets show that the
relationship will return to average levels. Wood
Mackenzie is forecasting a much quicker return than

Implications to LNG Project NPV from High Oil Prices
Analysis Assumptions:
z Considered oil to gas price ratio assumptions of 8, 9, 10 and 11 to 1
Analysis Results:
z High oil prices, relative to gas prices, must be maintained in order for LNG project NPV to be greater than an overland route
z Assumes that the Gas Strategy generated relationships do not change
Base Case LNG Pricez State: 10 to 1 or greaterz Producer: 11 (12) to 1 or
greater
High Case LNG Pricez State: 9 to 1 or greaterz Producer: 10 or 11 to 1
