Overview Gulf Coast Energy Outlook • The inaugural Gulf Coast Energy Outlook seeks to provide a broad overview of the current status of trends guiding energy markets with an emphasis on the Gulf Coast Region. • The research initiative is a collaborative effort of Louisiana State University’s Center for Energy Studies and E. J. Ourso College of Business and focuses on the energy sector of the gulf Coast Region’s economy. © LSU Center for Energy Studies 4
Introduction • The advent of shale oil and gas has fundamentally shifted the energy outlook not only here in on the U. S. Gulf Coast, but also globally. • U. S. shale production has led to significant decreases in global prices, and all eyes are on the resilience of U. S. producers in determining long term price forecasts. • While Gulf Coast production has increased significantly with shale, the composition of this production has changed significantly, creating potential winners and losers. • Significant opportunities for industrial expansion have been created, and historic investments in mid-stream and down-stream sectors are on the horizon. • The advent of shale has also fundamentally changed electricity markets, shifting towards lower emissions natural gas and creating opportunities for significant growth in renewables. © LSU Center for Energy Studies 5

Up-Stream Historical Trends Up-Stream Oil and Gas • From 1980 until the early 2000 s, both Texas and Louisiana experienced significant decreases in crude production—both in absolute terms as well as a share of total US production. This was offset, though, by the relative increased share of Federal Offshore production. • Due to the advent of shale oil production, Texas has seen a resurgence in crude production and now accounts for almost 60% of Gulf Coast Production. • While Federal Offshore production has remained relatively flat, its relative share had declined significantly. The future of investment in offshore production is uncertain. • Louisiana (state production) now accounts for less than three percent of our region’s production. • Gulf Coast relative share of U. S. production is now a larger share than at any point in the past four decades. © LSU Center for Energy Studies 8

Industrial Outlook • There is a symbiotic relationship between natural gas prices and Louisiana’s energy-intensive manufacturing base. Louisiana manufacturing relies heavily on natural gas for heat, steam, power generation and most importantly, feedstock purposes. Louisiana’s chemical industry is particularly reliant upon natural gas and natural gas liquids since both are used to produce a wide range of goods. 1 • Abundant and inexpensive natural gas along side the U. S. increase in oil production has led to significant industrial investments. • Significant investments in crude oil transport, including pipeline reversals, expansions, and additions, alongside the lifting of the crude oil export ban create an environment that allows for the Gulf Coast to become the epicenter for hydrocarbon trading. 2 1. 2.

S. to participate further in global crude oil exports are considerable, and the Gulf Coast will be the beneficiaries of these opportunities. 1, 200 Export Destinations Thousand barrels per day 1, 000 800 600 Canada China Netherlands Japan & Korea UK Italy Columbia Rest of World 0 100 200 300 400 Thousand barrels per day 400 200 0 Jan-2003 Source: U.

Energy Export Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (“LOOP”). The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (“LOOP”) is a deepwater port designed for unloading crude oil cargos from deep-draft tankers. It is the only U. S. port capable of handling Ultra Large Crude Carriers, the largest ocean-going oil tankers and handles about 10 percent of all U. S crude oil imports. Located in the Gulf of Mexico, 18 miles offshore from Louisiana, LOOP receives crude from three sources: 1. tankers carrying foreign and domestic crude oil; 2. domestic crude oil produced in the Gulf of Mexico; and 3. the Zydeco pipeline carrying domestic crude oil. The port is connected by a 48 -inch pipeline to the Clovelly Hub, located 25 miles inland. Three pipelines connect the Clovelly Hub to refineries in Louisiana and along the Gulf Coast. LOOP also operates a 53 -mile, 48 -inch pipeline that connects to the LOCAP Terminal in St. James, Louisiana. The LOCAP Terminal is connected to Plains Terminal, Nu. Star Terminal, Sugarland Capline is a 40 -inch pipeline that transports crude oil to several Midwest refineries. CONFIDENTIAL © LSU Center for Energy Studies 60
Energy Export LOOP crude oil imports. Imports of crude oil through LOOP have fallen 50 percent in the last ten years, and 38 percent since 2012, or an average annual rate of 6. 7 percent - due to increased production of competitive U. S. crude oil from unconventional plays. 450 Million Barrels 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 2008 2009 2010 Source: Louisiana Department of Natural Resources. 2011 2012 2013 CONFIDENTIAL 2014 2015 2016 2017 © LSU Center for Energy Studies 61
Energy Export A two-way LOOP: facilitating an Louisiana energy export economy. In July 2017 LOOP announced it was pursuing contracts to start exporting crude oil. The “two-way LOOP” would provide connecting logistics from the Clovely Hub to the deepwater port. The facility would require minor modifications to pump oil in both directions and service could be available in early 2018. Most U. S. crude exports are shipped from Houston or Corpus Christi. However, these Texas facilities cannot accommodate the largest tankers carrying full loads. Smaller vessels are being used to transfer cargoes to large tankers elsewhere. Exporting from LOOP would lower freight costs. And, LOOP’s multi-tank storage hub would allow for customer-specific blending of different crude grades. Note: 12017 is 6 -month average, January through June. CONFIDENTIAL © LSU Center for Energy Studies 62
Conclusions © LSU Center for Energy Studies 63
Conclusions • Over the past decade, worldwide energy markets have been fundamentally changed due to the advent of U. S. shale oil and gas development. • These changes have not only impacted where hydrocarbons are produced, but has also created significant change to the transportation, processing, and final use. • The gulf coast has seen large increases in oil and gas production, with these increases mainly concentrated in Texas. Louisiana and Federal Offshore production have decreased in their relative importance. • Significant investments in the refining, petrochemicals, and transport of hydrocarbons have been made, and will continue to be made over the next decade. The Gulf Coast is well positioned, and could potentially become the world-cited crude benchmark. © LSU Center for Energy Studies 64
