Natural Gas…it was the Best of Times, it was the Worst of Times. Depends on who you ask.


Just as Charles Dickens was trying to express the dramatic extremes that existed in France at the time, Dr. Duncan will cover the dramatic extremes that exist in the Natural Gas Industry today. Buyers…will you be king forever? Producers & Marketers…what do you need to do to avoid the guillotine?

Natural gas is an abundant, widespread resource that will be the fastest-growing major fuel to
2040. This is exciting news for the country and for the natural gas industry…BUT...we need for the
demand for natural gas to catch up to the over abundant supply! How will the possibilities of LNG
exports, coal to gas switching, NGV's, and other factors play into the mix to get us closer to the
right "balance" that makes sense for everyone ~ Producers, Buyers, Marketers, and Consumers?

The Dynamics of the Dynamic Southeast – What’s Hot?


From growing shale supply in the Gulf Coast, to upcoming LNG exports, to potential new pipelines, to forecasts for gas-fired power generation, the Gulf Coast and Southeastern U.S. natural gas markets have plenty of action. This discussion will focus on some of the most impactful events that could shape the Gulf Coast and Southeastern natural gas markets for years to come.

Many Americans lack a full understanding of the link between economic growth and the energy
policy options we face in the terms of fueling our future. How will exporting LNG and gas fired
generation affect the economy and the natural gas industry? In this day of natural gas “winners” and “losers”, it has become critical to not only understand the implications of the new financial
landscape, but to determine how to make these challenges your opportunities in 2013.

The Southeast is roaring! With Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Barnett, and others “in play” for the region, there’s action and gas flowing all over the Southeast. How does storage that’s nearing full capacity create value in today’s marketplace? How do changing market and supply dynamics affect the Southeast? Will we see long-term price stability? How will the latest news on the CenterPoint Midstream joint venture MLP affect the region and beyond? Get the insight firsthand from the experts who have the details about these new and exciting projects and developments that’ll directly affect the decisions made by the nat gas industry.

New World Order: Transformations in the Natural Gas Industry



From East to West and North to South, the natural gas market has and continues to experience
dramatic fundamental changes. New dynamics are transforming the market and forcing the
industry to reevaluate what it once knew. Where have we been, where are we now and where
do we go from here; a state of the union for the natural gas market.

Our gas buyer panelists will give you solid and valuable insight into what is currently working, what
they have learned and what they will do differently next time.
