Looking Ahead on Oil & Gas Art Berman NACE Investor Speaker Luncheon Palm Beach Gardens, Florida March 16, 217 Slide 1

Oil Prices Fell Below $5 Floor Last Week: Deflation of the OPEC Expectation Premium Oil Prices Fell Below the $5 Floor Last Week $7 12 $61 Per Barrel Ceiling NYMEX WTI Futures Prices ($/Barrel) $5 $3 Daily Futures Price (LHS) $26 OPEC "Freeze" Proposed $55 Per Barrel Ceiling $5 Floor $43 OPEC Cut Sept 28 Agreed Nov 3 OPEC Doha Freeze Meeting Failed 1 8 6 4 $1 2 Feb-15 Apr-15 Jun-15 Aug-15 Oct-15 Dec-15 Jan-16 Feb-16 Mar-16 Apr-16 May-16 Jun-16 Jul-16 Aug-16 Sep-16 Oct-16 Nov-16 Dec-16 Jan-17 Feb-17 Oil-Price Volatility Index Mar-17 Daily Oil-Price Volatility Index (RHS) High Volatility Source: EIA, CBOE, Bloomberg & WTI futures fell from $53.14 on March 7 to $47.72 on March 14 (-1%) after trading between $5 and $55 since late November when OPEC finalized a production cut (it was below $49 this morning). The official narrative was that it was because of a larger-than-expected inventory build. That explanation is inconsistent with larger recent additions that had little effect on prices. Also at odds with recent positive news about improving market balance and demand. Something more fundamental is happening. Growing realization that OPEC cannot quickly remedy outsized global inventories. Major downward shift in term structure of futures contracts suggests headwinds from a weak global economy a deflation of the OPEC expectation premium at the very least. Slide 2

Second Bubble: 1999-214: flat global output & growing Asian demand led to increasing oil prices from $17 to $148/barrel by 28. After the 28 Financial Collapse, OPEC cut production then, declining OPEC spare capacity, falling OECD inventories, & near-zero interest rates led to the longest period of high oil prices in history from 211-214. Over-investment resulted in a massive over-supply, much of it from the United States. The bubble burst in 214 and prices collapsed. Slide 3

Analysts created a narrative that OPEC s strategy was to hurt U.S. tight oil producers. This story line is unfounded but widely accepted because of American hubris. Cartel s inaction since the 214 price collapse reflected unwillingness to repeat the mistake of 1979-85 when OPEC cut 14 mmb/d with no affect on over-supply, demand or oil prices. Saudi Arabia cut 7 mmb/d 198-1985. Cuts lowered OPEC market share and greatly reduced revenue. We met with non-opec producers, we asked what are you going to do? They said nothing. We said the meeting is over. Ali Al-Naimi, February 216. The 216 OPEC cut happened because Russia participated along with rest of OPEC. Slide 5

Tight Oil Is Not A Threat To OPEC 35 Oil Sands Are Saudi Arabia's Chief Reserve Competition, Not U.S. Tight Oil Billions of Barrels of Crude Oil & Lease Condensate 3 25 2 15 1 5 Oil Sands 3 Venezuela 269 Saudi Arabia Oil Sands 171 Canada 158 Iran 143 Iraq 14 Kuwait 98 UAE 8 Russia Deep Water 6 Deep Water 48 Libya 37 37 Nigeria USA 3 Kazakhstan 25 25 Qatar China Tight Oil 16 12 11.6 9 8.4 8.3 Brazil Algeria U.S. Tight Oil Mexico Angola Ecuador Source: EIA, Hyperdynamics and Tight oil has never been a long-term threat to OPEC because the reserves are relatively small. EIA year-end 215 data indicates that U.S. tight oil proven reserves are less than 12 billion barrels. Deep water reserves are more substantial than tight oil but are still small compared with OPEC reserves. Canada s and Venezuela s combined oil sands reserves exceed 35 billion barrels. Oil sands are Saudi Arabia s and OPEC s chief reserve competition, not U.S. tight oil. Slide 6

Comparative Inventory (C.I.)

That normalizes seasonal variations in inventories. Negative correlation between C.I. & price. Cross-plot of C.I. & price results in a yield curve. It reflects the market s expectation of the lowest price needed to maintain supply based on historical performance.

Cross-plot of C.I. vs Brent price suggests that $55/barrel prices were about $1 over-valued. Inventories must fall ~275 mmb to support $7 prices (down to the 5-year average). OPEC cuts will accelerate movement toward market balance but massive stock reductions will take 6 months or more. Also assumes that non-opec production falls or remains static. Slide 8

EIA forecast is for 1.1 mmb/d by December 218. WTI does not reach /barrel by December 218 and is flat for 217. The tight oil horizontal rig count has increased by 144 (57%) since the OPEC production cut was first announced in September 216. 69% of the increase has been in the Permian basin where the rig count has increased 95. Eagle Ford has made a come-back in recent weeks. This suggests that U.S. production will increase. Increased production from Nigeria and Libya plus U.S. tight oil may cancel OPEC/NOPEC production cuts. Lack of frack crews & poor condition of frack equipment are a concern for near-term production growth. Slide 9

Oil prices recovered to $49 per barrel. Still, U.S. crude oil inventories are at all-time high levels 528 million barrels but that has not concerned the market until recently. That is 37 million barrels above 216 and 141 million barrels above the 5-year average. Comparative inventories have moved down from record high levels. The trend line shows that oil prices should be ~$47 per barrel & remain ~$4 over-valued at $5.5 per barrel. Comparative inventories must fall ~16 mmb to support $7 oil prices. It is reasonable that the price drop was an overdue adjustment from too much expectation about the OPEC cut. 212 215 214 213 211 Source: EIA & WTI Price ($/barrel) Comparative Inventory (Millions of Barrels) -4-2 2 4 6 8 1 12 14 16 18 2 $7 $5 $3 $1 214-217 Mar-June 215 Price Rally C.I.

It first moved from contango to backwardation between late November and early March. In 1 week, WTI shifted downward almost $3 per barrel and will not reach $52 until mid-221. Brent moved from stronger backwardation downward more than $3 per barrel. Brent won t reach $53 again until late 22. Forward curves should never be used as price predictors but this shift reflects something more fundamental than a bad storage report. Slide 11

Natural Gas Remains The More Interesting Investment Henry Hub Price ($/mmbtu) and Supply Surplus or Deficit (Bcf per Day) 14 13 12 11 1 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1-1 -2-3 -4 Supply Surplus (LHS) Apr 212 $1.95 $1.73 Avg. $8.58 Avg. $4.11 Avg. $4.6 Mar 216 Jan-8 Jul-8 Jan-9 Analysts are bearish on natural gas prices because of pipeline certifications in Marcellus & Utica Shale plays. They believe that pent-up supply is there if take-away capacity is built. None of these pipelines will be built in 217. Falling production, increased exports & consumption for power generation have resulted in tight supplies. Prices doubled in 216 and have only fallen back to $3./mmBtu after one of the warmest winters in history. Prices are on a $3 trend which means that prices could increase to $4 or more next winter. Nothing has changed to increase supply for 217.

Now, growing doubts that cuts will result in higher prices. The OPEC cuts may be more about establishing a floor under prices. For more than two years, the industry believed that higher prices were possible without extreme reductions in inventories. Growing awareness that global oil markets are incredibly complex with many moving parts a single, simple solution is unlikely. Slide 13

U.S. inventories must fall ~14 mmb and OECD inventories must fall ~275 mmb to support $7 prices. At 1 mmb/d, that will take at least 6 months but the history of market balance is that it will fluctuate unevenly and will probably take much longer. Great expectations were placed in an OPEC production cut to rescue the industry from a weak oil market. The fallacy lies in thinking that the problem stems from a simple imbalance between production and consumption and is unrelated to a fragile and debt-dependent global economy. That hope was a dream. It appears that oil markets have woken up from that dream.
