  1. FERC PERSPECTIVE ON GAS INFRASTRUCTURE Energy Bar AssociationAnnual MeetingApril 27, 2006 Jeff C. Wright, Chief Energy Infrastructure Policy Group Office of Energy Projects

  2. Overview • EPAct Update • Hurricanes and Lessons Learned • Alaska • Storage NOPR • Gas Infrastructure Update

  3. EPAct Update

  4. Energy Policy Actof 2005 • LNG (§311) • FERC is lead decisional agency • Pre-filing is mandatory • Regulations issued on October 7th • Hackberry Policy is now codified • Project sponsor can adopt open access, but cannot be required to be open access • Storage with MBR can be approved even if market power is present (§312)

  5. Energy Policy Actof 2005 • Process Coordination (§313) • FERC is lead agency for all Section 7 & 3 filings. • Establishes processing schedule • FERC record is the one record upon which all appeals of Federal actions are based • Judicial Streamlining • All appeals must be heard in Federal appeals court in the region where facility is to be located • Violation of schedule to be heard in US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia

  6. Energy Policy Actof 2005Selected Activities • LNG Pre-filing Rulemaking • Issued October 7, 2005 • Effective November 17, 2005 • LNG Forums with DOE and Other Agencies • Boston and Astoria, Oregon....so far • MOU with Defense on LNG Facilities • Alaska Progress Report – Every 6 Months • Lead Agency • Policy Statement issued September 26, 2005 • NOPR under construction

  7. Hurricane Lessons

  8. Area Effected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita • In the hurricane’s paths: • 76 percent of the Gulf’s oil and gas platforms • 47 percent of U.S. refining capacity • 30 percent of U.S. oil production • 20 percent of U.S. natural gas production

  9. Natural Gas Production Recovery Timeline Shut-in Production (MMcf per day) -- Gulf of Mexico and Onshore Louisiana

  10. Lessons Learned • Geographic diversity is desirable • Concentration of infrastructure may have an impact on the entire country. • Energy supply facilities near load centers reduces risk. • Redundant capacity • Good to have in adverse times or during unexpected conditions. • Not all infrastructure work all the time.

  11. Lessons Learned • Storage of energy supplies can mitigate adverse situations • Natural Gas • Oil • Electricity • Have regulations in place that reduce delays in reconstruction

  12. ALASKA UPDATE

  13. FERC Alaska Natural Gas Transportation System and Other Pipelines Office of Energy Projects 13

  14. FERC EventsPre-ANGPA 2001 In May, National Energy Policy recommends expedited construction of an Alaskan pipeline to deliver natural gas to the lower 48 states. 2001 Alaska Natural Gas Interagency Task Force formed - Members include: Energy, State, Interior (BLM, MMS), DOT (OPS), FERC (Energy Projects), Joint Pipeline Office 2004“Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline Act” approved and signed by President on October 13th.

  15. FERC EventsPost-ANGPA • Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline Act (ANGPA) approved and signed by President on October 13, 2004 • Issuance of Order 2005 (February 2005) • Establishes Open Season Provisions • Memoranda of Understanding • FERC and National Energy Board of Canada (5/10/04) • FERC and Regulatory Commission of Alaska (1/24/03) • MOU under development with DOE, DOI, and 10 other federal agencies to ensure cooperation and coordination of efforts

  16. FERC EventsPost-ANGPA • MOU under development with DOE, DOI, and 10 other federal agencies to ensure cooperation and coordination of efforts • Meetings with agencies and stakeholders in Alaska (through January 2006) • Submitted Alaska pipeline progress report to Congress as required by EPAct 2005 (2/1/06)

  17. Current andFuture Events • Agreement reached between Alaska and the three major producers to build pipeline (2/21/06) • Terms of Oil Tax • Terms of Gas Contract • Public comment period on draft contract • Alaska legislature convenes to vote on approval of gas contract

  18. Alaska Pipeline Construction Timeline Example Case(February 2006) Obtain permits, purchase pipe, compressors, etc. Full service Application development process begins Application filed FERC Order Stranded Gas Act award EIS Preparation Construction Jun ’06 Mar ‘07 Sep ‘07 Sep‘08 Mar ‘10 May ‘10 Nov ‘12 Nov ‘15 Nov ‘16 Staging of camps, bridges, roads, and delivery of pipe About 1 year to produce and treat gas and fill the pipeline Open Season and Pre-Filing Process Timeline assumesthe producer’s 52” pipe and Canada completes permitting within same timeframe.

  19. Storage NOPR A – Salt Caverns B – Aquifers C – Depleted Reservoirs Source: FERC adaptation from PB-KBB Inc.

  20. Storage NOPR Two Methods to Seek Market Based Rates • Demonstrate Lack of Significant Market Power • Expand definition of relevant product market • EPAct 2005/New NGA Section 4(f) • Submit measures to protect consumers from market power abuse • Commission seeks comment on approaches for such protection 20

  21. Storage NOPR • Applicants under either method must file appropriate supporting data • Commission determines: • If applicant lacks market power, or • That applicant will adopt adequate customer protections before charging market-base rates • Comments due mid-February • Final Rule.... 21
