+ Midstream Development in the Marcellus March 2011
+ Introduction Rich Marcellus Market for NGLs Ethane Options Caiman Energy Experience Execution Expansion Key Takeaways
+ Marcellus Overview: Rich Acreage Producers & capital shifting focus to liquids-rich areas: Eagle Ford, Woodford-Cana, & Marcellus Rich acreage in Marcellus is 3,000-5,000 sq. miles: Approx size of Barnett core Lack of adequate infrastructure: Billions in investment required to maximize producer netbacks from NGLs Rich production issues: Lack of processing facilities Lack of fractionation facilities Lack of NGL pipeline Lack of local industrial market
+ Marcellus Is The Place To Be RICH & LEAN MARCELLUS CORES PROVIDE EXCELLENT RETURNS AT LOW NATURAL GAS PRICES: Range anticipates a 74% IRR from Marcellus production at $4.00 NYMEX EQT expects an after-tax IRR of 78% for its lean gas wells in the Marcellus core at $5.00 NYMEX
+ Economics of Rich Gas LEAN GAS NETBACK $4.00 NYMEX $4.25 DTI Appalachia Net to Producer 1 Mcf Lean Gas (1000 Btu) $0.50 gathering fee 1.00 MMBtu $3.75/Mcf RICH GAS NETBACK (residue, processed liquids & condensate) $4.00 NYMEX 1 Mcf Rich Gas (1250 Btu) $0.63 gathering fee $4.25 DTI Appalachia 1.01 MMBtu $60/Bbl.054 Bbl NGL $7.10/Mcf $80/Bbl.015 Bbl Condensate $1.00 incremental fee

+ Historical Ethane Undersupply EHTANE DEMAND HAS OUTPACED SUPPLY OVER THE PAST DECADE MANY ANALYSTS EXPECT THIS RELATIONSHIP TO INVERT Ethane Supply/Demand Model Impact on Pricing? Source: Wells Fargo. February, 17, 2011.
+ Historically Thin Ethane Margins LOW FRAC SPREADS MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO JUSTIFY EXPENSIVE ETHANE SOLUTIONS, EVEN IN TIMES OF UNDERSUPPLY Ethane Projects Cost Range Range of Forward Margins (adjusted for DTI) Historical MBV Frac Margins, adjusted for DTI Appalachia basis. Basis projected at $0.18 / MMBtu going forward.
