Why LNG – Reason #1

The demand for natural gas is greater than what our nation presently produces. 15% of our nation’s natural gas is imported (primarily from Canada), and imports are expected to grow even as we see a short term jump in domestic production.

Canadian production accounts for about 80% of the natural gas used in the Pacific Northwest. Canadian exports to the U.S. could decline 50% by 2015 as their domestic demand increases and domestic production continues to decline(1)

U.S. levels have not been this low since November 2002 and Canadian activity not since before Jan 1998.

LNG offers an alternative natural gas supply at competitive prices and will complement domestic natural gas production.

“ Importing LNG to the U.S. would be economical at an average price as low as $3.50/MMBtu whereas shale gas (the new source of gas responsible for recent domestic production gains) requires an average gas price of at least $6.50/MMBtu to be economical” (1).

LNG imports are expected to increase substantially, in spite of recent soft demand due to a weak economy.

Demand for natural gas to fuel peak electric generation (summertime) has grown 227% since 1997. (1)

As plans for new coal fired power plants are cancelled (87 in 2007 alone) more natural gas fueled facilities will be built.

Because wind resources have been shown to be available for only 12.5% of the peak demand periods, natural gas will be needed to fill in the remaining 87.5%(2)

Dynamic Pricing Analysis Underlying Facts

The Jordan Cove LNG and Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline provide 1 BCFD of additional natural gas supply and create the cross-Cascades delivery that is necessary to access a large and liquid market, a “must have” if the Pacific Northwest is to attract long-term LNG supplies.

If the Ruby pipeline is built it could bring an additional 1 BCFD of new gas supplies to the region’s natural gas consumers from the Rockies.

.


Dynamic Pricing Analysis Conclusions

The access of up to 2 BCFD of additional natural gas to the region’s supply base:

Pushes the basis differential between Sumas and Henry Hub downward

Also pushes Henry Hub prices downward as new supply points create greater gas-on-gas competition both regionally and nationwide.

What does this mean to regional natural gas users?.
