North American gas markets have changed a lot in the last year - domestic supply growth and timing of new pipeline infrastructure remain critical pieces of Southeast gas balances.  Increasingly, the size and timing of exports (via MX pipelines and/or LNG liquefaction facilities) will also be important factors in Southeast gas balances.  Global gas demand is forecast to grow and U.S. LNG exports are expected to play a key role in meeting that growth; as a result, Southeast gas buyers will need to consider even more variables (including global weather patterns, infrastructure outages, geopolitical risks) in determining their future price outlooks.   All of these factors could potentially add even more volatility to an already ever-changing domestic picture, reinforcing the need for a robust risk management program.

There are several factors affecting the natural gas market:

Exports to Mexico, Weather, LNG Exports, Changes in Regulatory Policy, Industrial Growth, Gas Fired Power Generation, Advancement in Technology for the industry, and much much more.

This panel of experts will give us some answers to the questions that are looming around the supply and demand fundamentals for the country and for the region!

With a number of mergers and consolidations in the news of recent, Drew will share his perspectives about:
·Experiences during the Southern Company and AGL Resources merger.

AVC Tribute on Joe Kapacziewski:
True American Hero- Video

Those of us in the natural gas industry today can echo Dickens’ observation. On the one hand, America is finally producing and reliably delivering an abundance of affordable, clean and domestic natural gas; while on the other, some extreme opposition exists unleashing relentless attacks on all three industry sectors: production, transportation and end-use.

President Trump’s recent Executive Order on Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth is a significant step to restore a common sense approach to energy policy that balances economic freedom and environmental protection. As a result, the federal government will now begin to allow American companies to compete, workers to thrive, and eliminate a long-term trend of federal overreach.

Although it is less than 90 days, we can already see few things about how a Trump Administration will impact LDCs.

Our gas buyer panelists will give you solid and valuable insight into what is currently working, what they have learned from volatility and what they will do differently next time.
Topics of discussion to include:
1. What will be the impact from electric generation power burn this summer (i.e. coal switching)?
2. When will the U.S. natural gas market see an increase in industrial demand?
3. Has the recent warm winter weather changed your strategies regarding the use of NatGas storage?  What will storage levels be in October? When will the natural gas industry see a recovery in storage arbitrage?
4. How has the current natural gas market impacted exports/imports? Thoughts and comments.
5. Are the planned pipeline projects enough to affect the current basis?
6.  What buying or pricing strategies are you currently employing, for instance what if any long-term purchases are you making or how are you managing hedging activities?
