Her primary work revolves around energy, the economy, and the environment, both regionally and globally. 08:30 – 08:55 Montney and the importance of liquids in the 2020’s Presented by Nathan Nemeth, Wood Mackenzie Group The Montney is a prolific unconventional play and gas production from the play continues to grow despite depressed AECO prices. The Montney’s competitive economics are driven largely by strong liquids yields, specifically condensate. Liquids production data and yields are vital to understanding the play’s economics, as liquids yields vary considerably across the play. Where is all the condensate production coming from and who is producing it? Premium Edmonton condensate pricing driven by Oil Sands diluent demand and U.S. condensate imports has supported the Montney growth to date. But the diluent market is likely to undergo some significant changes in the 2020’s. A potential Southern Lights pipeline reversal, diluent recovery units and partial heavy oil upgrading could all shake up the market. 2 Page Sponsored by: AB & BC Montney Technical Session Thursday, February 20th, 2020 801 Seventh +15 – 667 7 Street SW Speaker Bio: Nathan joined the Wood Mackenzie upstream research team in 2015 based in the Calgary office.

The producers hold vast acreage in the Montney and Duvernay plays in northwest Alberta and northeast B.C. and seek to create new outlets for natural gas into growing Asian markets. Canadian sourced LNG is well positioned to have a positive impact on reducing CO2 emissions in Asian markets and Canadian producers are leaders in applying new and innovative practices and technologies to reduce full life-cycle emissions to the benefit of the environment and the economy. Speaker Bio: Greg is the President and CEO of Rockies LNG Partners, a consortium of western Canadian natural gas producers advancing LNG opportunities on the west coast of Canada. Greg was formerly the President of Pacific Northwest LNG which achieved full approval for an LNG development in the Port of Prince Rupert. Prior to that, he was Vice President, Natural Gas Marketing, Corporate and Investor Relations with Progress Energy Resources. 09:20 – 09:45 Canadian LNG: Much Less than Hoped For? Presented by Aaron Engen, Vice Chair, BMO Capital Markets Over the past decade, Canada has seen over 30 LNG projects proposed for its west and east coasts. Despite much early press and energy industry excitement about the then pending LNG boom and an expected “rising tide raises all boats” phenomenon for natural gas producers, only one project, LNG Canada, has reached a positive final investment decision. And currently, only a handful of Canadian LNG projects remain in the news stream. Meanwhile, over roughly the same period, eight US LNG projects reached positive final investment decisions with six are now in production. As energy sector stakeholders consider the WCSB natural gas environment, it is increasingly important to understand the LNG dynamics affecting Canada’s LNG sector prospects. 3 Page Sponsored by: AB & BC Montney Technical Session Thursday, February 20th, 2020 801 Seventh +15 – 667 7 Street SW Speaker Bio: Aaron is a Vice Chair, Investment & Corporate Banking at BMO Capital Markets.
