Registration & Continental Breakfast

Alternatives for Florida's Future Energy Supply
Brad Williams, president, Spitfire Advisors, and former VP, FPL Energy
Florida's rapidly growing power requirements are pushing the state's energy infrastructure to the edge, requiring the construction of many new projects. Natural Gas demand for power generation is expected to exceed pipeline capacities in some parts of the state later this decade. Unless construction of new infrastructure begins soon, prices are likely to shoot out of control as utilities bid for natural gas to satisfy Florida's ballooning population. Challenges will also include meeting higher peak-day and peak-hour deliveries using storage, but from where? There are also still several LNG import projects proposed into the state but little progress has been made. Williams has been asked to review these dynamics and frame the issues for the rest of the conference.

What Drives Florida's Basis Differentials and Where Are They Headed
Art Gelber, president, Gelber & Associates
Gelber and Associates is a well-known gas market analyst. Art Gelber, president and principal, will discuss the outlook for the nation's gas prices and how Florida's prices will compare. He will then review expansion opportunities for new supplies along supply routes such as the Florida Gas Transmission system.

Expansion Plans at Gulf Stream and Its Ability to Satisfy Florida's Needs
Brad D. Reese, VP & general manager, Gulfstream Natural Gas System
Florida has two vital gas transmission pipelines: the Florida Gas Tranmission line, which extends from the panhandle eastward and then southward into the Miami metropolitan area and the Gulf Stream pipeline, which crosses the eastern Gulf of Mexico into west central Florida and then southward. In March, Gulf Stream closed their open season for a proposed expansion up to 0.2 Bcfd of capacity. Reese has been asked to discuss the specifics of that proposed expansion, the outcome of the Open Season and the implications for Florida's gas supply.

Florida's Unique Storage Requirements and Alternatives
Michael E. Moore, director of marketing- eastern region, Falcon Gas Storage
Seasonally, weekly and daily, Florida experiences fairly drastic swings in gas demand. LNG storage is expensive, often costing 5-10 times the amount of underground storage. Falcon Gas Storage is a developer and operator of underground facilities, including the MoBay Gas Storage Hub, which will come on stream 4Q-07. The Falcon speaker has been asked to discuss the types of storage available to Florida markets, current and future storage facilities, including Mobay, and their relative advantages, disadvantages and economics.

12:30 - 2:00 PM

LUNCH

Luncheon Address (1:15-1:40)
Terry Morrison, VP - energy marketing & trading, FPL Group
FPL is among the largest and fastest-growing electric utilities in the United States. More than two-fifths of the its power is derived from natural gas. Moreover, 93% of its power sales are to residential or commericial customers, so FPL understands the complexity of consuming gas to supply daily and seasonal peakload requirements.

Expanding Gas Supplies from the North: Elba Island LNG's Rapid Growth and Capabilities in the Future
Dan Tennison, project manager, Elba Island, Southern Natural Gas
The Elba Island LNG terminal has grown in capacity from just 0.5 Bcfd when it was idle in 2000 to a planned 2.1 Bcfd capacity by 2011. Tennison has been asked to review the staging of the expansion, the terminals current utilization and how this new gas might improve Florida's supply-demand balance.

Expanding Gas Supplies from the North: Cypress Pipeline and the Effect on North, Central and South Florida Markets
Bruce Hughes, director-business development, Southern Natural Gas
Southern Natural Gas intends to construct a new natural gas pipeline interconnecting with its existing line in Chatham County, Georgia, near Port Wentworth, and terminating in Clay County, Florida, at a point of interconnection with a Florida Gas Transmission pipeline, which is 50-percent owned by SNG. The source of natural gas will be LNG imported through the Elba terminal, which currently averages about 4 to 5 shipments per month each containing up to a billion cubic feet of natural gas. The Cypress project will provide interstate transportation service and deliver natural gas to power generators, local-distribution companies, large industrial plants, and municipal customers in south Georgia and Florida. Hughes has been asked to describe the timing of the project and how he sees Cypress adding gas supply to north, central and south Florida markets.

Expanding Gas Supplies from the West: Pascagoula Looking Good
Wayne Christian, VP of development, Gulf LNG Energy
Gulf LNG Energy may be the sole remaining project to establish an onshore LNG terminal east of the Mississippi River. Chevron has increased its capacity at Sabine LNG and its refinery is reported to be in need of room for expansion. Meanwhile, Chevron's partner in Angola LNG, Sonangol, has invested in the Gulf LNG Energy project. This presentation will provide the latest on its advancements.

Expanding Gas Supplies from the West: TORP's Proposed 1.4-Bcfd Deepwater Terminal
Lars Odeskaug, president, TORP Technology
TORP announced May 1 that the U.S. Coast Guard has deemed its deepwater port application for the Bienville Offshore Energy Terminal complete. The terminal will be located 63 miles offshore, due south of Fort Morgan, Ala., not too far from the Gulf Stream pipeline that feeds central and south Florida. Maximum send out capacity is to be 1.4 billion cubic feet per day.

Backfilling Florida's Gas Needs from the Southeast: AES's Proposed Bahamian Project
Aaron Samson, managing director- LNG projects, AES
Getting approval for LNG terminals in the Bahamas has proven much more difficult than first envisioned. AES is thought to have the most promising site, however. The site is on Ocean Cay, an uninhabited 95-acre island that was originally built to process precipitated calcium carbonate dredged from the surrounding waters. There are no inhabited islands or tourist attractions nearby. Samson has been asked to update the audience on the project's progress.

Backfilling Florida's Gas Needs from the Southeast: The Latest on SUEZ's Calypso LNG Deep Water Port Project and its proposed Bahamian terminal.
Dan McGinnis, vice president, SUEZ Energy North America
SUEZ knows first hand the value of backfilling pipelines with imported LNG; its Distrigas terminal near Boston has been an enormous financial success. SUEZ first proposed a Bahamian terminal to fulfill South Florida's needs, but, though the undersea pipeline to Florida was approved by FERC two years ago, approvals for construction of the terminal have been delayed by the Bahamian government. SUEZ now proposes a turret-and-buoy system to be fed by regas ships. McGinnis has been asked to describe the latest status of both projects.

Prospects for Florida Barge Terminals
Gary Van Tassel, president, Argent Marine Operations, Inc.
Residents in Tampa Bay expressed strong opposition to the proposed construction of a BP LNG terminal several years ago. However, that terminal would have large field-erected tanks filled by ocean-going LNG carriers the size of cruise ships. Argent Marine proposes to build much smaller terminals that would be served with LNG transshipped from other receiving terminals or transferred far offshore from large ships into barges. Van Tassel has been asked to describe his barge-distribution program.

Colombian Coal and IGCC for South Florida Markets
Martin Buckley, VP, Drummond
Florida energy planners have suggested Colombian coal as a source of energy supply if the gas supplies fail to materialize. Drummond owns a highly successful Colombian mine that exports coal via ship. The coal would be burned in new integrated gasification and combined-cycle power plants. Buckley, an excellent speaker, has been asked to describe coal's viability and timing relative to natural gas.
