Key Features of U.S. Natural Gas Market • North American Market demand: • USA (62 BCFD) • Canada (7 BCFD) • Mexico (5 BCFD) • US Imports: • Canada (8 BCFD) • LNG (1 BCFD) • Highly liquid market • Active day-ahead • Monthly “Bid Week” • “Long term” means >1 month. • Price risk can be hedged at multiple locations – using Nymex futures, electronic trading platforms, and broker markets. • Mature, coast-to-coast infrastructure enables creative solutions • All interstate pipelines “open access”. • Abundant underground storage facilities (>3.5 TCF).
AVERAGE HENRY HUB SPOT PRICE(EIA Historical and Estimated, January 2009 Short-Term Outlook) • $3.00 per MMBtu 2002 • $7.17 per MMBtu 2007 • $9.13 per MMBtu 2008 (+27%) • $5.78 per MMBtu 2009 (-37%) • EIA further anticipates 1.0 % natural gas consumption decline 2009 compared to 2008, with a 0.7 % increase in 2010

Southwestern Energyand the Fayetteville Shale • As of June 30, 2008, Southwestern had drilled and completed a total of 619 operated wells, of which 554 were horizontal • Of the 554 horizontal wells, 507 had been fractured using slickwater or crosslinked gel fluids • Production rates from the Fayetteville Shale play area was approximately 500 MMcf per day • In 2008, the company had 22 drilling rigs running in the Fayetteville Shale, 15 capable of drilling horizontal wells and 7 smaller rigs spudding the vertical section of the wells • Horizontal wells had an average completed well cost of $2.8 million per well, average horizontal lateral length of 3,562 feet and average time to drill to total depth of 14 days

SHALE GAS RESOURCE ESTIMATES Potential Gas Committee added about 200 Tcf to U.S. resource assessment between 2004 and 2006 – almost all attributed to new shale-related data Navigant Consulting, Inc. (2008) estimates 275-842 Tcf from 17 U.S. shale plays

SHALE GAS PRODUCTION ESTIMATES Depending on the source, some analysts estimate that shale production now at about 5 Bcf per day will grow to 27-35 Bcf per day by the end of the next decade Will this be additive to current production rates or will it only replace other declining production capability?

Innovative Utility Rate Designs:(Good for Investors and Customers) • Investor • Promotes business sustainability • Stabilizes margin recovery • Reduces rate case frequency • Reduces business risk • Customer • Less natural gas used through • efficiency/conservation programs • Lower monthly bills through • avoided gas costs • Lower utility costs passed on • Lower capital costs passed on
Natural Gas UtilityInfrastructure Growth Projections • To meet projected natural gas demand, as much as $100 billion may be spent by 2030 adding to distribution infrastructure.
Abundant domestic supply resource base to meet demand growth at reasonable costs Innovative rate designs to align interests of utility and customers Increased direct use of natural gas can reduce energy consumption and costs, lower carbon emissions and enhance national energy security Gas utility industry is a solid, safe, responsible investment Our Industry’s Future Looks Bright
Advocacy SUMMARY Increase Supply Increase New Generation Diversity Increase Direct Use Increase LIHEAP Increase Recognition of Gas & Electric Differences Increase Conservation & Efficiency
