Our mission is to provide relevant, independent, and objective economic research in energy and related environmental issues. A central goal of CERI is to bring the insights of scientific research, economic analysis, and practical experience to the attention of government policy-makers, business sector decision-makers, the media, and citizens in Canada and abroad. Core members of the Institute include the Canadian Government, the Government of the Province of Alberta, the University of Calgary, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) and the Explorers and Producers Association (EPAC). In-kind support is also provided by the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB).

Full Speed Ahead growth comes from a combination of power growth and LNG exports growth. – – – Less potential for power to grow compared to LNG exports. Change of Canadian disposition is not as aggressive as in the US. Declining pipeline exports to the US due to growing domestic demand as well as LNG exports.

Full Speed Ahead exhibits aggressive growth in gas production. Canada gas production that has been declining reverses its trend and grows in the future as a result of unconventional gas development. – But, the level of growth is very sensitive to future market environment – very modest growth in Nowhere Fast and robust growth in Full Speed Ahead. Source: CERI,ICF International 41 Relevant • Independent • Objective www.ceri.ca North American Natural Gas Demand Pathways Lower-48 LNG Exports • Robust LNG exports in the LNG Tsunami case. – – • • Lower-48 LNG exports peak at 10 Bcf/d in 2023. Declining trend after 2025 represents competition with supplies from other countries. Full Speed Ahead reaches the same level of LNG exports as in LNG Tsunami, but at slower pace. LNG exports are not a notable factor in the other cases. Source: CERI,ICF International 42 Relevant • Independent • Objective www.ceri.ca North American Natural Gas Demand Pathways Canada LNG Exports • • • Canada LNG exports consistent with US exports, but at half the volume. In LNG Tsunami and Full Speed Ahead, Canada LNG exports reach 5 Bcf/d, but the pace of growth differs. In this study, Canada LNG export terminals are located near the Port of Kitimat in British Columbia. Source: CERI,ICF International 43 Relevant • Independent • Objective www.ceri.ca North American Natural Gas Demand Pathways Canada Pipeline Net Exports • Perhaps surprisingly, Nowhere Fast shows the highest exports of gas from Canada to the US. – • • Gas has little option but to flow to US markets even though the gas prices are not very attractive for the gas. In Nowhere Fast and Power Wave, Canada continues to be a net exporter to the US. In LNG Tsunami and Full Speed Ahead, the net pipeline exports to the US decline significantly, mostly because western Canada gas is exported to Asia as LNG. – Canada becomes a net importer of pipeline gas in 2021 in LNG Tsunami and in 2026 in Full Speed Ahead. Source: CERI,ICF International 44 Relevant • Independent • Objective www.ceri.ca North American Natural Gas Demand Pathways Henry Hub Gas Prices • • • • The weak economy in Nowhere Fast extends currently depressed gas prices into the future. In Power Wave, Henry Hub price remains in the $4/MMBTU ballpark, as a sluggish economy and lack of LNG exports hinders development of gas markets. Gas prices “cycle” in LNG Tsunami, riding the wave of LNG exports. In Full Speed Ahead, gas prices “bounce back” strongly, buoyed by robust economic activity.
