What Drives E&P Share Prices? Trouble ahead… • Best value measure: • “Debt-adjusted” production, reserves, and cash flow per share • $32 oil yielded only 7% return in 2003 • Implication: capital budgets may be cut sharply • USA producers • Could cut drilling in North America, increase overseas activity, reduce debt, increase dividends, and buy-back stock Lehman Bros

A Word About Price – Drives New InvestmentsOil supply infinite; depending on price… • At: • $15/bbl, some light oil profitable • $20/bbl, heavy oil attractive • $30-40/bbl, oil from coal (SASOL) • $50+/bbl, renewable energy • At some price, gas from chemistry (C+H) • Heavy oil, tar sands, shale oil, coal liquids, unconventional gas – all depend on $$, facilities & technology Geo.

Restating the Problem…The business case for better forecasting… • In the next decade • Projects will become more complex • Global efforts are the norm, not the exception • JVs are the standard operating model • Competition for capital exists across the integrated asset chain The planner’s ability to routinely anticipate and model the key business drivers, especially those external to your company, will determine your effectiveness.
Future Production Forecasting Much more than a sum of decline curve forecasts… • Define the problem we are trying to solve • Set a business model to frame analysis • Ensure line-of-site across entire decision chain • “Get the math right” - use the most appropriate method • Define the best tool(s) to run the analysis • Test, test, test for reasonableness … in business to make money, not just find oil & gas
