14. PetroChina Deal August 18, 2009
Long-term demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) appears solid, as affiliates of XOM signed a 20-year LNG supply agreement with PetroChina Co. Ltd. (PTR 109****) to provide a source of clean energy to meet China's growing demand. Subject to necessary approvals, the deal commits the rest of XOM's share (2.25 MMtonnes per annum of LNG) in the Gorgon LNG Project in Western Australia. We like the proposed deal, as it enhances the relationship between XOM and PTR, and offers cash flow stability to XOM's LNG projects.
15. Qurna-1 oilfield rights Unconfirmed news reports, such as from Platts & WSJ, said XOM and Shell (RDS.A 60***) won the rights to rehabilitate and further develop the 9B barrel West Qurna-1 oilfield in southern Iraq. Reportedly, the proposed service agreement is for 20-years and calls for a fixed $1.90/barrel payment on new production. We remain concerned about operational risk and low fixed per barrel payments. But, pending approvals, we see the deal as a vote of confidence in Iraq, and gives XOM a foothold in Iraq's giant oilfields, which may be crucial to future opportunities.
16. Scenarios Outperform
ExxonMobil will outperform because of key contracts with PetroChina LNG and rights to the oilfield in West Qurna-1 oilfield in southern Iraq. Which will guarantee increased production and sales for the next 20 years
ExxonMobils increase in capital expenditures indicates that they are planning on increasing production capacity.
Underperforms
Unlikely due to the deals that are in the pipeline and the size of the company.

31. Areva Largest holding in PKN
French nuclear powerhouse
GE, Toshiba, Alstom all competing for the electricity-transmission unit, division accounted for 38% of Arevas sales last year
HSBC claims transmission gear is poised for fastest growth in the power business over the next five years
32. Nuclear Energy Industry Over 439 nuclear reactors provide 16% of the world's electricity
Industry was expected to die off around the 1980s but with public acceptance it is rapidly picking up
Asia is the current leader in new reactor programs, particularly China and India
Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and several countries in the Middle East are also considering nuclear power
Almost 80% of Frances electricity comes from nuclear reactors, they are the leader in nuclear power usage
However, the public still has many fears of nuclear power
33. Meeting Public Concerns Operational Safety: Only two incidents in 13,000 reactor-years of experience, WANO (World Association of Nuclear Operators) manages safety operations for every reactor world wide, something never before seen in the private sector
Cost: Nuclear reactors are already fast catching up with and overtaking their initial costs, with the addition of emission penalties they will pass other forms of energy even faster
Waste: contrary to perception, it is the greatest asset, extremely small volume and can be safely managed without harm to people or environment. Most favored disposal is deep geological repositories
Terrorism: Security extremely tight around plants, emergency plans are in place for all types of events, very robust, built to with stand almost anything
34. Recommendation Most credit raters say to AVOID
If you are long, close position or monitor stock closely. Stock is a Short Candidate.

Why?
The only major threat to nuclear energy is the public, that aside nuclear energy has almost no downsides
