Slide 13: Moderating Rig Count but Production Increases Expected
Moderating Rig Count….but Production Increases Expected Slowing Rig Count / Production in Face of Strong Demand Should Bode Well for Nat Gas ■ Overall domestic rig counts are down (~60% off recent highs) (1) – Gas‐directed rigs are down >90% off 2008 highs, aided by economics of gassy oil plays (i.e
Slide 14: Global Natural Gas Demand
Global Natural Gas Demand Natural Gas Is Not Going Away ■ World energy usage expected to grow with growing GDP – Total energy usage expected to grow by ~50% by 2050 (1) – Renewables growing quickly, but gas will still be critical ■ Natural gas and petroleum still expected to meet much of energy need
Slide 15: Domestic Natural Gas Demand
Domestic Natural Gas Demand Rising Baseload Natural Gas Demand ■ Natural gas domestic consumption is up 10.5 Bcf/day (~14%) since 2014 to 83.3 Bcf/d in 2018 (1) – Majority of increase (~6.4 Bcf/d) took place in 2018 ■ 1H 2019 increased over 1H 2018 by 2.2 Bcf/d to 84.2 Bcf/d (1) ■ Largest driver has
Slide 16: LNG Baseload Demand
LNG Baseload Demand LNG Growing Annually: Large Increases Are Coming ■ LNG export capacity has increased substantially in last twelve months – to >7 Bcf/d (2) – Sustained demand for feedgas is creating “baseload”‐type demand dynamics – Positive for compression as baseload gas demand is steady and re
