  2. Slide 2 The REvolution of Energy • US Surpasses Russia as the World’s Largest Energy Producer (Liquids and Natural Gas) • Geopolitical Upheaval • Infrastructure Upheaval • Appalachian Basin Gas Production • 2008 - 2.3% of US Production • 2012 - 11% of US Production • 2020 - 30% of US Production – Northeast Self Sufficient? • Natural Gas Price • NYMEX Crude Oil – Natural Gas Ratio, historical Norm 7.5X before 2007 • 2008 54X, Now Averaging 30X • Henry Hub Spot $3.73 MMBtu (10/11/2013) • Marcellus NE PA $1.94 MMBtu (10/11/2013) • Impact on Consumers and Energy
