(Rell) Tipton, Jr., Partner, Energy Transactions/Projects Practice Group Leader, Vinson & Elkins LLP 8:30 NGL Supply Outlook Shift of E&P companies to oil/NGLs What is the overall outlook for rich gas production? What is the current supply outlook from the major plays -- Eagle Ford, Marcellus, Bakken, Granite Wash o rig count in each play Other sources of NGLs economics for producers -- Are they playing a waiting game with project sponsors for new facilities? NGL transportation costs on a Btu basis o how logistics costs impact well-head prices o variation from different basins What is the real gas price uplift from after processing? Anne Keller, Founder & President, Midstream Energy Group, Inc. Domestic and International Demand Outlook -- Ethane, Butane, Propane, and Natural Gasoline 9:00 Ethane Demand Availability of ethane in the US during the next 5 to 10 years Ethane cracking capability of the US petrochemical industry, given recently announced ethylene capacity expansion plans being considered by several petrochemical companies How will the supply and demand for ethane in Canada impact US ethane balances? Will there be enough US ethane supply to support the future needs of the US ethylene industry? What producing regions in the US will be the swing suppliers for ethane and will there be a need for Marcellus ethane to come to the Gulf Coast?

Most likely price range for ethane that will sustain its extraction from natural gas and maintain its status as the most economical ethylene feedstock How are ethylene co-products going to be produced if ethane remains the dominant feedstock for ethylene production? Major risk factors that could derail the future for ethane Peter A. Fasullo, Principal & Founder, EnVantage, Inc. Keynote Address 9:30 The Dow Chemical Company -- Driving Transformation and Fueling Growth Plans to increase ethylene and propylene production to meet demand growth in the Americas Projects targeted at increasing ethylene supply and ethane cracking capabilities in the U.S. Gulf Coast region over the next six years Projects to increase the companys propylene supply over the next seven years Integration of U.S. operations into low-cost feedstock opportunities available from increasing supplies of U.S. shale gas in the Marcellus and Eagle Ford shale regions Investments to support the companys transformational Corporate strategy Manufacturing job creation in America James R. (Jim) Fitterling, Executive Vice President and President, Corporate Development & Hydrocarbons, The Dow Chemical Company 10:00 Networking & Refreshment Break 10:30 Butane/Natural Gasoline Outlook Forecast of NGL supply from natural gas production Outlook for the US refining industry How will the addition of ethanol to gasoline impact the refining industry and butane and natural gasoline? Production of NGLs from natural gas Production and demand for NGLs by refineries What does the export market look like for NGLs? Use of natural gasoline as a diluent for asphaltic crude; to send oil sands production through pipelines Lynn Westfall, Executive Vice President, Turner Mason & Co. 11:00 Retail Propane Demand Outlook Outlook for space heating and minor end uses Factors affecting demand -- Fuel switching or consumer conservation or something else entirely? Impact of increasing supplies on wholesale price, etc. Potential impact of increasing ethylene feedstock demand for ethane and potential for new chemical feedstock markets for propane Gulf Coast waterborne propane exports and the impact on propane availability Dan Lippe, Principle, Petral Worldwide, Inc. 11:30 International Outlook Imports and Exports

International LPG trade flows -- Shifted as a result of increased demand from developing economies and decreased supply from traditional sources US LPG production -- Increasing as a result of rich shale gas development US LPG import volumes -- Decreasing in response to increased domestic production US LPG export volumes -- Becoming an increasingly critical supply source for international markets because of competitive cost position Middle East LPG demand for domestic chemical production -- Impacting international exports Enterprises terminal capabilities and expansion plans Lynn Bourdon, Senior Vice President, Refinery & Petrochemical Services/NGL Marketing, Enterprise Products Operating LLC 12:00 Luncheon Pricing and Contracting 1:15 Outlook for NGL Pricing How are NGLs priced? Relative impact of oil vs. natural gas prices Natural gas to crude spreads Historic volatility Differences between light and heavy ends Outright prices vs. fractionation margins Fractionation spreads Too much or too little? How to mitigate volatility in processing, especially for MLPs Hedging for consumers Is it worth paying for options? Recent growth of NGLs derivatives markets William (Bill) McAdam, President & CEO, Aux Sable Liquid Products Nicholas Dazzo, Vice President, Koch Supply & Trading L.P. 2:15 Trends in NGL Contracting NGL contracting strategies -- End-user requirements, producer requirements Types of contract structures: o keep whole o percentage of proceeds/profits o fixed fee basis o other mechanisms Changes in contract terms: Compliance requirements, revised terms Contract timing and conditions Kelly Knopp, General Manager, NGL and Olefins Marketing, Williams Midstream Infrastructure Current State, Requirements, and Plans for Development 2:45 NGL Infrastructure Current Constraints; Future Constraints vs. Surpluses

Where are the constraints today? Where will new infrastructure constraints and surpluses develop? Will there be enough gas processing capacity? Where will new Y-grade (mixed stream) pipelines be needed? State of fractionation Too little or too much? NGL storage Location? Enough to handle refinery butane summer surpluses? Could increasing propane supply in the Marcellus, combined with declining propane demand at the retail level, drive down utilization on purity product pipelines? Export terminal capacity More needed for propane exports? E. Russell Braziel, Vice President Sales & Marketing, Bentek Energy 3:15 Networking & Refreshment Break 3:45 Rockies, Bakken, and DJ/Niobrara -- Connecting NGLs to Distant Markets Bakken Little infrastructure; NGL solutions needed to capture value and accommodate growth Other Rockies CO, WY, and UT have NGL pipeline access; expansions may be required [Case Study] DCP Rockies and Niobrara o Rockies NGL production growth outlook o NGL Pipeline takeaway to Conway and premium Belvieu markets [Case Studies] Williams and ONEOK o Overland Pass Pipeline expansion o Conway fractionator and storage expansions o Bushton fractionator expansion o Sterling pipeline expansion Other infrastructure for western and midcontinent NGLs [Case Study] Vantage Pipeline o taking specification ethane production from Tioga gas plant in the Bakken to Nova Chemicals Corp. in Canada Don Baldridge, Vice President, Natural Gas and NGL Marketing, DCP Midstream Gord Salahor, Vice President, Vantage Pipeline Canada ULC Mac Hummel, Vice President, NGL and Olefins, Williams Midstream 5:15 Close of Day One 5:15-6:15 Wine & Cheese Networking Reception Day Two -- Tuesday, September 27, 2011 7:45 Continental Breakfast
