Southeast Gas Markets: The Benefits and Challenges of
Greater LNG Imports Ken
Ostrowski and Mike
Juden, McKinsey & Company The Southeast is a challenging energy
market. It has almost no gas storage. Demand is driven predominatly
by seasonal gas-fired power. Large consumers lie downsteam
of major pipeline bottlenecks. As a result, expansions have
been proposed, but from where and when will the gas arrive
are still major questions. With just one LNG terminal and
two on the periphery, ample opportunity is open to new terminals
if developers can navigate the siting challenges. Gas demand
and transportation in the region are not static, though. Importers
must anticipate how markets will react over the next five
years to assess their returns on infrastructure investment.
Ostrowski leads McKinsey's Americas Electric Power and Natural
Gas Practice; Juden is the firm's leading North American natural
gas authority. They will start the conference by reviewing
the landscape and issues consumers and suppliers must consider
as more LNG moves into the Southeast.
EXPANSIONS

Markets
for Elba Island Gas and BG's Strategy in the Southeast Betsy
Spomer, VP, Regional Business Development, North America, Caribbean
and Global LNG, BG North America BG holds LNG import capacity rights at both Elba
Island and Lake Charles. The company is also the primary customer
of the Cypress pipeline project, which will connect Elba Island
to markets in Georgia and Florida. With expansions planned at
both facilities, BG will be perhaps the first to offer expanded
LNG supplies into the Southeast. What will be the effect and
where will this gas be directed? These are two questions posed
to Ms. Spomer.

How
Will LNG Affect the El Paso’s Southern Natural Gas System Bruce
H. Hughes, director, Business Development, Southern
Natural Gas Company Southern Natural Gas is currently expanding the
Elba Island LNG terminal and expanding Southern Natural’s
system with the Cypress Expansion, a $240 million project
to connect Elba Island with South Georgia and Florida markets.
With the strong Southeast demand growth for natural gas, how
will the new influx of LNG at Elba affect gas flows in the
Southeast?
11:40-12:10PM
LNG Market Benefits and Commitments Kyle
Crake, director, fuel strategy and origination, Progress Energy
Progress Energy Florida (PEF) provides electricity and related
services to more than 1.5 million customers in Florida. PEF
is a customer of British Gas and the Cypress pipeline project,
developed by Southern Natural Gas and Florida Gas Transmission.
This presentation will address why LNG is an important component
of PEF's supply diversification, the background leading to their
LNG decision, and a customer's view of key attributes of an
LNG supply arrangement.

How Will LNG Affect theTransco Pipeline
- The Southeast's Primary Gas Supply Joan Harris,
LNG manager, Williams Williams owns and operates the massive 8.1-Bcfd
Transco pipeline that stretches 10,600 miles from Texas to New
York through the heart of the Southeast. How does Williams foresee
Gulf Coast LNG changing the landscape of the Southeastern supply-demand
balance? Do Southeastern markets have any other supply choices
than to await LNG cargoes? What impact will high-btu LNG have
on peakshaving plants that provide valuable storage, including
the two Williams owns in Stokesdale, N.C., and Carlstadt, N.J?
These are some of the questions posed to Joan Harris.
2:20 - 2:50PM
Cove
Point Expansion & Key Markets Jeffrey L.
Keister, director-wholesale marketing, Dominion Transmission,
Inc. About 600 miles to the northeast of Elba Island,
Dominion is nearly doubling the capacity of the Cove Point terminal
for Statoil from 1 bcfd to 1.8 bcfd to move LNG from the Norwegian
Sea into the high-priced Mid-Atlantic market. The expansion
will alleviate demand for gas supplied from the Southeast along
such pipelines as Transco. When will this gas flow? What will
be the effect on Virginia and other Southeast markets? Can more
gas can be expected once Snohvit is operational? These are some
of the questions posed .
2:50 - 3:30PM
Atlantic Gas Trade: How Export
Capacity Is Stacking Up Against Import Capacity and the Role
the Middle East Will Play John
Wolff, director, LNG, Zeus Development Corporation As terminals more massive than any ever built
are approved along the Gulf of Mexico, where will the LNG originate?
How is proposed liquefaction capacity matching proposed transportation
and regasification capacity, and what is the timing of the linkage
among export plants, ships and import terminals? How much of
a role will the Middle East play, and what is the risk implication?
These are questions to be addressed during this presentation.

SOUTHEAST TERMINAL PROJECTS

LNG
Terminal Prospects in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico Richard
Lammons, Gulf of Mexico venture manager, Chevron
One of the reasons the southeast has such a shortage of natural
gas is its
citizens’ refusal to allow any new LNG terminals to be
built along the shoreline. The only possible location that
is being considered seriously east of the Mississippi is Pascagoula,
where two terminals are proposed onshore. Chevron operates
a major refinery there and has plans to build an LNG terminal
on land adjoining it. Lammons has been asked to review Chevron's
perspective on the effect his terminal will have on Southeast
gas markets.
4:45 - 5:05PM
Lessons from Katrina and Rita for LNG Terminal Siting
Bill
Daughdrill, principal environmental scientist, Ecology & Environment,
Inc. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita passed over or
near at least 12 existing and proposed LNG terminals along
the Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas Gulf Coast and offshore.
How will these two large storms affect the regulations for
LNG terminals? Are those facilities that have yet to be approved
apt to be delayed? Or, will the storm's destruction of domestic
natural gas production hasten regulators to permit terminals
more quickly? Daughdrill, a former U.S. Coast Guard officer,
will address these questions.
4:45 - 5:30PM
Prospects for a Bahamian Terminal Chris
Ellsworth, manager, LNG and Natural Gas Practice, SAIC As many as three LNG terminals have competed
to serve the Bahamian and Floridian gas markets. All three
have advantages, yet each has run into problems. The Bahamian
government is sensitive to some of the safety issues raised
by local communities in the U.S. Northeast and Southern California
and has had to consider
similar local reactions in an economy that is predominantly
based on tourism. Ellsworth will discuss the likelihood developers
can overcome these challenges.

LNG
as Part of a Supply Portfolio for a Major Gas Consumer Brad
Williams, VP gas, downstream, FPL Group Resources, LLC FPL Group is one of the top ten gas users in
North America between its utility subsidiary Florida Power
& Light and its unregulated generation company FPL Energy.
How LNG can fit into a long term supply portfolio is an important
issue. Suppliers are looking for large credit worthy consumers,
and buyers are looking for security of supply at competitive
prices. Until recently, the company had hoped to source vaporized
LNG through a pipeline from the Bahamas, but this project
was scrapped. How will LNG meet the growing needs of the U.S.
going forward and how will the risks and rewards of LNG be
shared? These are some of the questions posed to Mr. Williams.

Regulated and Non-Regulated Perspectives from
a Georgia Gas Consumer Dana
A. Grams, senior vice president, business development, AGL Resources AGL Resources is a major distributor of
natural gas along the East Coast, providing service through
six utilities, two gas storage facilities and an asset management
company. It also operates four peakshaving plants. AGL has been
asked to describe how volatile gas markets have affected its
customers and the benefits and challenges it foresees with LNG.

S.E. Storage and the Complexity of Serving Electric-Power
Generation David Shammo, S.E. Business Development,
Duke Energy Duke owns key southeastern gas-transmission
pipelines and has 250 Bcf of North American storage. The company
is also heavily involved in electric power generation and
distribution, so Shammo has a unique perspective on what it
takes to marry gas supply to electric power demand.
