4What is LNG?
- LNG is natural gas cooled to -160 C where it
condenses to a liquid - Volume reduced 600 times
- Odorless, colorless, non-corrosive, non-toxic
- Kept at atmospheric pressure

6LNG Safety Record
- Excellent safety record
- In existence for 40 years
- 80,000 carrier voyages worldwide with no sea
related accidents - Advances in technology and monitoring have made
LNG even safer - Vessels must meet stringent international,
national and regional safety codes - State-of-the-art LNG double-hulled carriers used

9North American Gas Supply Price impacts
- North American supply comes from
- Conventional gas
- Coal gas
- Tight sands
- Arctic gas
- Exotics - coal gasification and gas hydrates
- With or without LNG - the marginal supply source
is higher cost domestic production or expensive
crude oil product substitutes - LNG is becoming a significant solution to the
growing gap between supply and market demand - LNG supply will not depress the market

10Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin Initial
Production Rates
- 3.5x as many wells drilled in 2005 vs. 1998, yet
total production added from new wells was the
same at 4.0 bcf/d - Initial Production rates have fallen by 75 to
262 mcf/d over the past 10 years

- BC
- Alberta
- Pacific Northwest
- California
- Mid West and
- North East
18Market interest in Kitimat terminal
- Considerable capacity interest
- Off-take customers believe their portfolios
should contain LNG supply - Off-take customers have long-term core need in
natural gas with few long term supply
alternatives - LNG can provide the long term supply alternatives
- Off-take customers include
- industrials
- oil sands projects
- utilities
- independent power projects and
- energy marketers
19Kitimat LNG Terminal gas supply options
Additional Pacific Basin supply currently
on-stream or under construction is 26 mt/a
20Kitimat LNG strategic advantages
21Shipping days compared to West Coast terminals
Significant shipping cost advantage at Kitimat LNG
22 At least 2 days shorter sailing times to Kitimat
from Pacific Basin ports
Kenai 2.1 days
Sakhalin 7.2 days
Qatar 22 days
Indonesia 14 days
NW Shelf 16 days
Bolivia 15 days
23Lower marginal shipping costs to Kitimat
Based on number of shipping days and additional
ships required to move same volume of LNG per year
24Advantages of Supply Basin location
- The supply basin provides
- Back-stopping and supply security for down-stream
markets - Sophisticated physical and financial
counter-parties - Optimization of liquefaction, shipping, storage
and send-out positions - Significantly reduced risks of terminal start-up
delays - Supply basin terminals provide
- Significantly lower mitigation costs re planned
or unplanned outages - Supply redundancy and flexibility for LNG
suppliers - Suppliers with ability to divert cargoes and
source domestic replacement gas
25Exposure to a sophisticated energy market
- The market is comprised of hundreds of
credit-worthy counter-parties - Demand is growing despite record high gas prices
- The consuming market is interested in long-term
price stability - LNG supply will provide long-term stable supply
26Upside pricing exposure
27Comparative netbacks of Westcoast terminals
10-year from Cal 2009
Basis relationships have changed and will change
but LNG netbacks will be similar whether received
at Kitimat or Socal.
