US Production Makes a U-Turn Towards Strong Growth
Canadian Production Growth Accelerating
New Production Is Causing Regional Imbalances
Crude Quality is Different from Previous Forecasts

Driving Force for Crude Study
Presentation Agenda
• North American Production Forecast
• Changes in Crude Quality • Impacts on Crude Supply Balance
• Focus on PADD IV
5
Recent Developments
U.S. production up by about 2 MMBPD since 2008 •Reverses 20+ year trend of declines •Comes despite slowdown in Gulf after Macondo
Canadian crude on upward trend for 3 decades •Up by almost 1 million BPD in the last decade •Largest reserve base in the world/unconventional resources •Almost all reserves located in Western Canada
Driven by high prices and technology advances
6
Production Forecasts
US forecasts differ widely •All credible forecasts show continued strong growth •Most expect 2020 production to be 9 to 11+ MMBPD •Growth levels beyond 2020 even more uncertain
Canadian production forecasts less variable •Resource base is better understood •Dependent on price/ability to remove logistical limits •Expect about 5 MMBPD by 2020 (>50% vs. 2012)
7
Production Forecasts (cont.)
Where/What Type? • U.S. growth mostly in PADDs 2 and 3 • Declines in Alaska/California to continue • Predominantly light sweet • Canadian growth primarily in the West • Vast majority heavy sour
Production dependent on key assumptions
• Crude prices – both absolute and regional • Production potential of tight oil plays very uncertain • Prospective fields (Utica, Tuscaloosa, SCOOP) even harder to forecast • Various limitations (manpower, materials, regulatory, etc.) affect growth • Ability to move crude to markets in timely and cost effective ways will be
particularly critical

Waterborne Imports into PADD I Replaced by Bakken Refineries particularly well suited for Bakken quality; FCC resid capability Unit rail unloading capacity expanding quickly – 700 MBPD by end of 2013 Rail likely remains primary transportation option thru the end of the decade Rail will allow even heavier WB imports to be replaced
PADD II to Rely on In-PADD and Heavy Canadian Crude Non-Canadian imports already displaced PADD III and Canadian non-heavy to decline rapidly Growing production/coking additions limit ability to absorb more light sweet
PADD III Will Reach Limit in Ability to Absorb Light Crude Strong in-PADD growth from Eagle Ford/Permian Bakken deliveries to substantially decrease over the next two years Will incentivize ways to move PADD III crude to other markets
21
Significant Heavy Crude Imports into PADD III Will Remain Estimate floor of 1.0 to 1.5 MMBPD for Latin American imports PDVSA and PEMEX control about 600 MBPD of heavy crude capacity Additional heavy capacity is contractually “locked-in” Overall Latin American heavy production will grow/natural home is USGC Small amounts of other WB imports remain – Motiva and for lubes/other quality reasons
PADD V Challenges
LCFS could limit/prevent heavy Canadian imports Requires new mid-stream projects to access PADD II/III/IV crude California refineries built for heavy crude; will continue to import some heavier grades Pacific Northwest is first to absorb PADD II crude; better fit for refineries and also
supported by rapid build-out of rail unloading facilities
Exports Not forbidden/requires export license in most cases Politically controversial Potential destinations – first Canada and then Asia

Regional Light Crude Differentials
Surplus of Crude in PADD IV will Continue to Grow Only PADD with production greater than in-PADD demand Wide range for potential surplus due to unknown production prospects Quality of new crude will be light; question is how light?
Finding Markets for New Crude/Ways to Access Markets Critical
Several P/L projects are being developed Rail projects are also moving ahead; well behind developments in Bakken A major challenge: PADD II and III are already saturated with light crude PADD V could be potential destination; challenge is logistics One advantage in marketing to California refiners is the low CI assigned to Niobrara
PADD IV Refiners Should Continue to Experience Superior Margins
Lower crude costs than in other regions Product demand growth above U.S. averages Incentivize some small projects – focus on running local crude/produce distillates Expansion of capacity/crude runs limited by regional demand More exposed to domestic economic conditions because of inability to export products
