Caiman Energy: The Foundation

• Skilled Management Team with Significant Shale Experience


• Over $2.5 Billion in New Infrastructure Investment in Barnett and Haynesville
• Crosstex and Regency
• Partners have 90+ years of Midstream Experience

• Solid Organization- Execution Culture Being Developed


• Attracting Top Talent
• Engineering/Operations
• Flat Structure Enables Effective Decision Making

• Well Funded by Investor Group Led by EnCap and Flatrock


• $400 MM Equity Commitment Secured
• Additional Capital Available as Opportunities Develop
• Private Equity Model Provides Financial and Operational Flexibility

Caiman Energy: Producer Focused
• Independent Midstream Provider
• Not affiliated with an E&P, Interstate or Utility Company
• Fully Producer Focused: Our Only Customers!
• No Internal Competition for Focus or Capital

• Focused on Marcellus Infrastructure Needs Only


• Not Active in Other Plays: Marcellus Focused
• No Legacy Assets to Optimize
• Deals/Infrastructure Structured to Meet Producer Needs

• Full Suite of Classic Midstream Services


• Wellhead/Lateral Gathering, Dehydration, Measurement
• Compression Services
• Condensate Gathering
• Processing/Fractionation

First Stop: Marcellus Rich Area

 Producers/Capital
Allocators shifting to
liquids-rich plays
 Rich Acreage of
Marcellus is 3,000 –
5,000 sq. miles
 Size of Barnett
Core
 Larger than
Woodford and
Eagle Ford
 $ Billions in Midstream
investments required

Issues:
 Take Away Capacity
 Processing Capacity
 NGL Infrastructure

Opportunity: Marshall County, WV

• What we “Found”
• Apparent Sufficiency of Infrastructure
• Appalachian Pipelines Constrained
• Processing, But…
• Not Easily Accessible
• Legacy Assets Capacity Constrained
• Commercial Terms Not Producer-Oriented

• Reality: Dramatic Infrastructure


Investment Required
• Rich Area=Capital Intensive
• Take Away Capacity
• Processing/Fractionation Capacity

5
Texas Eastern Transmission (TET)

• Critical for Rich Area Development

• TET: A Different Model for Appalachia


• Built as a “Long Line” Transmission Line
• Not a “Traditional” Appalachian Aggregator

• Record of Regional Expansions


• Vibrant Market Area
• Northeast US: Growth
• Regional Market: Static, Declining

• Caiman has (2) 300,000 Dth/day taps


• Taps in C2+ Waiver Zone

Tennessee Gas: TET Analogy

• Early Marcellus Development


Proximate to Pipeline

• 2010: Volumes Increase 4x

• Caiman View: TET Analogy to


Tennessee Gas Pipeline for
SWPA/NWV
• Timing
• Access

NGL/Ethane Issues and Options

• Issue #1: Limited Marcellus Fractionation Capacity


• Alternatives:
• Construct New Fractionation Capacity
– New Marcellus Capacity Being Added (Caiman, MWE)
• Transport Y-Grade to Markets
– Pipeline Projects Are Proposed (Sarnia)

• Issue #2: No Local Ethane Market


• Alternatives
• Fractionate Y-Grade Where Ethane Market Exists
• Fractionate Locally, Sell C3+ Regionally, Transport Ethane to USGC
• Blend Ethane, Fractionate C3+ Locally, Sell C3+ Regionally

• Key Questions:
• Will Ethane Demand Keep Up with Supply?
• Will Mt. Belvieu (less T&F) > Gas Equivalence?

18
Ethane Economics

• Supply Will Increase Much Faster Than Demand


• Added Fractionation Capacity, Rich Gas Focus Will Increase Supply

• Demand Increasing Much Slower Than Supply (Wells Fargo 10/5/10)


• Past, Present, Future Look at Ethane Economics
• 1995-2010 : Approx. 80% of the time, Blending would be Better Option

• October 22, 2010: 20% Premium to Blending (2011)

• Forward Curve: Frac Spread Below $2.00/Mmbtu ($0.15 or less/gal) in 2012-13

• OPIS study: “[O]ver the next five years, the difference between the Marcellus Shale gas
price and the Mt. Belvieu ethane price could average just 1-20cts/gal.”

2011 Blending Economics


$/gal $/MMBTU
Mt. Belvieu Ethane (1) $0.46 $6.93
Fractionation and Gulf Transport $0.22 $3.32
Realized Ethane Price $0.24 $3.62
Natural Gas (2) $4.34
Blending Advantage $0.72
1. Calendar 2011 swap pricing as of 10/22/10.
2. NYMEX CY 2011 as of 10/22/10 plus $0.20 per MMBTU Appalachia basis.

Blending Rich Gas on TET

• Rich Gas Area: 15% of Marcellus Area


• Really Lean Gas! 2-3% Ethane
• Most Marcellus Mileage in Lean Area
• Substantial Capacity to Blend Ethane

Recent Lean Gas Datapoints in SW PA

• CNX (October 2010 Investor Presentation)


• Greene County EURs range from 5.5
to 9.9 BCF
• EQT (9/29/10 press release)
• Reported an average 30-day IP rate of 22
Mmcf/d and a preliminary EUR of 18 Bcf in
Greene County.
• ATLS (10/13/10 press release)
• Completed a well in Westmoreland County that
reached a Company-record IP rate of 21
Mmcf/d.

20
Caiman NGL Strategy

• Continued Expansion of
Processing Capacity
• Blend Ethane with Lean Gas
– Lean Gas Opportunities
– Ample Ethane Capacity in TET
– Gas Equivalency Pricing

• Complete Y-Grade/Fractionation
Projects
– Focus on C3+ Fractionation /Sell
Regionally
– Remain Flexible with Fractionation
Investments

• Active Dialogue with Proposed


NGL Pipelines
• Finalizing NGL Marketing Alliance
