▲ Total North American crude oil supply is projected to grow by ~4,000 kb/d by 2020

▲ At a high level, the international border can be ignored and total crude oil supply can be partitioned into two key supply regions

• Southern Supply Region: West Texas; Eagle Ford; Gulf of Mexico offshore, plus onshore Gulf Coast

• Northern Supply Region: Western Canada; Bakken; and, Rockies

NORTH AMERICAN TOTAL CRUDE OIL SUPPLY

▲ The U.S. crude oil supply outlook has been generated via a joint effort by Muse Stancil and Crane Energy LLC, a Texas based reservoir engineering firm

▲ The Canadian crude oil outlook is

the very recent CAPP 2013 forecast

▲ Of the ~2,300 kb/d of incremental light crude oil supply, essentially all of it is in the U.S.

• The Bakken (+~600 kb/d), Eagle Ford (+~600 kb/d), and the Permian Basin (+~300 kb/d) are the key North American supply regions for light crude oil

• The new CAPP 2013 forecast has light synthetic supply (not production) falling over time, although conventional light is now growing by ~100 kb/d to 2020

• With additional contributions from the Gulf Coast onshore and offshore, Midcontinent, and the Rockies

▲ About 60 percent of the light

crude supply growth is in the “Southern Supply Region”

NORTH AMERICAN LIGHT CRUDE OIL SUPPLY

▲ The Gulf of Mexico offshore will also add a significant contribution to medium sour crude oil supply

▲ The situation for the heavy crude oil supply is quite different

• Little of the incremental North American supply outside of Western Canada is heavy

▲ Muse uses a highly detailed, LP-based distribution model of the North American crude oil markets to assess the implications of various forward scenarios

▲ The Muse Crude Market Optimization Model can be used to quantify the impact

of differing supply volumes, new pipeline and rail routes, and changing refinery capacities and capabilities over time

▲ The optimization model is seeking to maximize the aggregate netback for all Western Canadian crudes (conventional, synthetic, and heavy) and U.S. crudes

• Refining values are generated outside the optimization model for various grades of Canadian synthetic and heavy sour crudes for the individual demand nodes

• Muse uses the PIMS™ LP modeling system to develop the refining values for the various refineries accessible from Western Canada

• PIMS is the LP modeling system used by most North American refiners

▲ The market scenario presented herein is regarded as a reasonable Base Case • But there are many forward possibilities

FORECASTING THE FUTURE – MUSE APPROACH

-6-

▲ The U.S. Gulf Coast and Northeast Asia will join the Midwest to become key outlets for Canadian heavy crude

▲ Absent Northern Gateway and the Trans Mountain expansion, most of the Asia-bound volumes would be redirected to the U.S. Gulf Coast

• If the west-bound pipelines are not built, the required heavy crude market share on the Gulf Coast will reach very high levels by the middle of the next decade

• Raising substantive issues of a competitive response by the existing heavy crude suppliers

▲ However, Northern light crude producers will encounter competition from Eagle Ford crude in Atlantic Canada and the U.S. East Coast

▲ As we’ve seen, total light crude oil supply from the Northern Supply Region to the inland markets is forecast to remain comparatively constant

• And the Midwest is the largest component of the inland market demand segment ▲ However, this masks a significant shift in the precise source of supply to

the inland market

▲ Rail will remain an important transportation mode for the Williston Basin • Rail shipments of Bakken crude are projected for the entire forecast period • If the major outbound pipeline projects are further delayed, Canadian rail shipments will

continue

▲ A very recent development is the waterborne shipment of Eagle Ford crude to the U.S. East Coast and Atlantic Canada

• Much of the Eagle Ford production is pipelined into Corpus Christi, Texas, from which it must be further transshipped by barge or tanker to other markets

• Eagle Ford shipments to Atlantic Canada can be made on a lower cost, foreign-flagged tanker

NORTH AMERICAN CRUDE PRICE FORECAST

-13-

▲ As southbound pipeline capacity is added, WTI is expected to stabilize at about

$7.00/barrel under LLS • This is a combination of about a $4.50/barrel Cushing-Gulf Coast pipeline tariff and a

$2.50/barrel refining quality differential between LLS and WTI • The 2013 WTI price is overstated due to the use of annual average capacity for new pipelines • The 2012 values are a backcast using the model

NORTH AMERICAN CRUDE OIL MARKET IMPLICATIONS

▲ The North American crude oil markets will remain in flux, particularly for the light crude oil segment, as the rapidly evolving supply picture promises to continue to reshape the crude oil distribution patterns within North America

▲ For the Canadian light oil producer, high capacity access to the eastern and western markets is important

• Rail will continue to play a vital role in transporting crude oil within North America, particularly from the Williston Basin

▲ Light crude on the Gulf Coast is expected to price under import parity for some

time to come

▲ The refiner response is something of a wild card for the light crude oil market – North American refiners will continue to re-configure their refineries to respond to changes in crude supply patterns

• Gulf Coast refiners have already announced plans to expand their Eagle Ford processing capacity

▲ A more difficult forecasting challenge is assessing the market response of the

existing heavy crude oil suppliers to the U.S. Gulf Coast • A resurgence of Venezuelan and Mexican heavy crude oil supply would be interesting

▲ The chart at the lower right tracks average U.S. Gulf Coast margins for three primary refinery configurations found in the U.S.

• Distillation: Simplest operation that features little downstream conversion/upgrading • Cracking: Mostly finished products but little or no residual oil destruction • Coking: Highest complexity/significant residual oil destruction

REFINERY CONFIGURATION INFLUENCE ON MARGIN

-19-

▲ Coking historically generates the highest margin as the refiners exposure to the heavily discounted fuel oil market is mostly eliminated

▲ Distillation is a narrow margin operation dependent on niche markets and advantaged crude oil supply -5

▲ Comparing crude oil yields under different processing configurations helps explain the margin differentials on the previous slide

▲ Light Louisiana Sweet (LLS) in a cracking configuration yields a large percentage of gasoline and diesel with a relatively small residual oil cut

• This yield pattern boosts the value of the crude oil versus heavier crudes • Coking LLS however doesn’t provide much incremental value as there is little residual oil in need

of upgrading

CRUDE QUALITY VS. REFINED PRODUCT YIELD

▲ Maya, a heavy crude from Mexico, has a very large residual oil cut that discount its value relative to LLS

• Coking Maya however, changes the refinery’s yield to nearly match that of LLS in a cracking refinery

• The loss of saleable liquid product is typically offset by the market discount

▲ Cracking and coking configurations require processing to upgrade large volumes of heavy gas oils with FCC the most commonly utilized process in the U.S.

▲ Hydrocracking, however, maximizes the yield of highest valued products (Jet + diesel) vs. FCC upgrading which favors gasoline and olefins production
