13 Upstream Opportunities Supply Chain – Resource-limited – Includes logistics and transportation, especially frac sand and water – Drilling rigs, OCTG, equipment, mud, cement, chemicals, crew supplies, etc. Local Business: 18 month contracts Access to the Resource – Nucor – Shell © Batson & Company 201213

14 Licking County: Well-positioned © Batson & Company 201214

15 Midstream In Flux Asian LNG demand exploding Available capacity in existing lines Gathering lines Chesapeake – $900M NGL processing, pipeline (M3 Mid., EV En. Ptnrs.) – $500 million, 70 miles of pipeline (AEP, Spectra) Enterprise Products Partners: prop. ethane pipeline from OH/PA to the Texas ethane hub © Batson & Company 201215

16 Opportunities for Utilities Electric Utilities – EPA regs – conversion of 28 GW coal-burning generation to gas – Ohio – 80% of its electricity from coal – AEP’s pipeline announcement Gas Utilities – Customers switching from heating oil and propane – Columbia Gas rates 19% lower than last year – PA gas utility cut rates by 52% © Batson & Company 201216

17 Downstream: Refined Products Stimulated by crack spreads and abundant supply Asia: Demand for refined products exploding 2011: US was a net exporter of refined products for the first time since 1949 Polymers: important part of the shale supply chain expected to benefit from oversupply © Batson & Company 201217

18 Oversupply and New Products Stimulated by natural gas oversupply LNG – Cheniere: $6B Sabine liquefaction facility for export to Asia – Have $8B+ in contracts for 7 mtpa (2 trains of 4 approved) New Products – Sasol: $10B LA facility to convert natural gas to diesel Exports to Asia – South Korea, Japan, China, India © Batson & Company 201218

19 Chemicals and Fertilizers Stimulated by low natural gas price (feedstock) Chemicals ◦ US overtaking Middle East as global low-cost leader ◦ Ethylene crackers: Shell, Dow, Sasol studying ($4.5B) ◦ Reviving nitrogen based products “Prices are rising amid tight supplies for the building blocks of everything from diapers and packaging to autos and consumer electronics”, said Andrew Liveris, Chairman/CEO, Dow Chemical © Batson & Company 201219

20 And Let’s Don’t Forget.. Vehicles!! Effective cost < $2/gal Fleets converting to natural gas Chesapeake and GE partnership – Natural gas and hybrid vehicle mfg. – Fueling infrastructure Companies incl. UPS testing LNG vehicles (ships) Jet fuel © Batson & Company 201220

21 Workforce Full Employment Competition for Workers Construction Jobs “Boom vs Bust” Workforce Training & Housing © Batson & Company 201221

22 Impacts to Licking County Roads Other: noise, dust, hours of operation, etc. Municipal Budgets First Responders Information to the Community © Batson & Company 201222
