U.S. Natural Gas Market Overview

U.S. natural gas market continues to evolve from a regional market to a more global one through the increasing importance of LNG

Today, the U.S. market is contributing substantially to global gas trade liquidity due to:

Transparency and depth of the U.S. market

Increased LNG supply diversification, linking the U.S. market more closely to Europe and Asia

More than 50% of the imported LNG volumes into the U.S. in recent years being cargoes not originally contracted to serve the U.S. market

Import Terminal Investment Is Small Relative to Total Supply Chain Investment

An LNG import terminal is but one piece of a large and capital-intensive supply chain

Capital cost imbalance in the LNG Chain—Indicative costs for a typical 1 billion cubic feet per day/7.8 metric tonnes per annum LNG project

Today, producers are facing greater investments given the rising costs of specialty materials, equipment manufacturing constraints, and scarcity of skilled laborers

U.S. Markets Must Compete with Other World Gas Markets for LNG Supplies

LNG is a global commodity more tightly linking energy markets around the world. Price is the means by which markets balance supply and demandFundamentally, high NYMEX prices will attract cargoes and increase supply, while lower prices will result in LNG moving to other markets such as Europe or AsiaThe price tightrope is both short and long term. Prices must be low enough for consumers, yet sufficiently high to attract necessary supplies

SUEZ’s Everett LNG Import Terminal

The Everett LNG Import Terminal is the longest-operating in the U.S., and the only continuously operating one

Opened in 1971 as a peak shaving facility to help meet New England’s relatively small natural gas demand

Today it is an essential part of the region’s energy supply mix

Trucking Capacity100 million cubic feet/day

Vaporization Capacity715 million cubic feet/day – sustainable1 billion cubic feet/day – maximum installed

11Houston, May 30, 2007

Importance of LNG in New England

LNG’s role in New England’s power production is critical.

Diversity of energy supply is essential and LNG is a cleaner alternative.

Distrigas supplies the fuel for the Mystic Generating Station, the largest power plant in New England.

SUEZ/Distrigas serves most gas utilities in New England and currently meets 20% of the region’s gas demand.

New England’s projected demand growth for natural gas is 1-2% per year for the foreseeable future.

New England is at the end of U.S. interstate pipeline system and near the end of Canadian pipelines.

The SUEZ/Distrigas terminal in Everett provides the necessary back pressure on the pipeline system.

Only with LNG is New England “first in line.”

12Houston, May 30, 2007

The Everett Terminaldirectly connects into:

Algonquin PipelineTennessee Gas Pipeline

KeySpan local distribution systemMystic Generating power plant

The Everett Terminal supplies LNG via truck to nearly all of the 46 customer-owned LNG storage tanks in region. (LNG is how natural gas is stored in New England.) Today, LNG

from Everett and these facilities can meet 35% to 40% of the natural gas demand on

peak days.

Growth Opportunity: Neptune Deepwater Port

The Shuttle and Regasificationvessel is based on a modified standard LNG ship

14Houston, May 30, 2007

Neptune Deepwater Port Overview

The deepwater port will consist of:

Specially designed LNG vessels called Shuttle and Regasification Vessels “SRVs”with onboard regasification systems and a receiving cone for the buoy connection

An unloading buoy system

A 13.4 mile 24” pipeline that will connect into the existing natural gas pipeline system that serves eastern Massachusetts

Each SRV will average a sendout of 400 million cubic feet of natural gas per day, with a peak sendout capability of 750 million cubic feet/day

Approximately 1 vessel visit per week

Dedicated Support Vessel

First shipment of LNG expected in Fall 2009

What Accounts for the Peaks and Valleys?

Prices were stronger in Europe and Asia overall in 2006

Warmer than normal winter in the U.S. in 2005/2006

Colder than normal winter in Europe

Continued growth in demand last year in AsiaOverall demand increase in Korea

Nuclear facility outages in Japan

Preparation for summer peaking needs in India and Taiwan

Plus, there has been an increase in non-U.S. import capacity

Those LNG supplies not under long-term contract for the U.S. found more inviting destinations in Europe and Asia

The exception was during the summer months when prices in the U.S. and overseas were more in line with each other

24Houston, May 30, 2007

Key NYMEX Price Drivers

Weather

Supply disruptions – actual or perceived – ex. hurricane activity in the Gulf of Mexico

Oil prices

Growth in natural gas demand from the power generation sector

Strength of new supplies from the Rocky Mountains, Gulf of Mexico, and Canada (ex. Mackenzie Delta)

LNG imports

Overall economic health of the U.S. economy
