MESSAGE FROM...Candace Bakay, Conference Chair

CAPLA's third biannual conference “CAPLA 2000 & Beyond” was held at theCalgary Convention Centre June 22-23 and extended to various venues forSaturday events held on June 24th. The Conference educational series includedinformation pertaining to Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia as wellas Public Lands (Federal), Yukon and North West Territories. The ConferenceCommittee was committed to provide delegates with up-to-date information onall of the Canadian frontiers. The caliber of the conference and the volunteerswas praised by our speakers.

In addition to government-related courses, we had many outstandinginstructors present a variety of topics. This was the first year we held a courseoff-site, and the SAIT Production Tour was a wonderful experience for everyoneinvolved. Our instructors turned out to be both informative and entertaining, aswas evident to anyone outside the classrooms listening to the laughter spill intothe reception area.

Internationally renowned speaker Darsell Karringten dazzled us with hispresentation "Ignorance is not Bliss" on Thursday, and then pushed past all ofour expectations with "Workplace 2000 Tools for Success" on Friday. I knowmany of us left the luncheons completely rejuvenated and ready to take on theworld!

As our organization is fairly young, we chose to promote our objectives andaccomplishments, and gain support from our management, through interactionand networking. Corporate management and landmen were invited to join usduring our luncheons for a view of CAPLA's conference. Many positiveresponses relating to our professionalism and educational focus have beenreceived.

For those members who could not make it to the conference, we are offeringcopies of all presentations for a fee of $20/session. If you would like to obtainany of these notes, please contact Linda Westbury @ 260-1836.

This year we filled 18 booths in the Exhibitor Hall. We had representatives fromAlberta and British Columbia Governments, Indian Oil & Gas, SAIT, Mount Royaland Olds College, to name a few. Response from exhibitors was extremelyfavorable, with a number of companies enthusiastic to return in 2002.

PANCANADIAN'S FEE TITLE LANDS

PanCanadian Petroleum Limited holds fee title to 10.8 million gross acres of mineral rights - 9.5 million inAlberta, one million in Saskatchewan, and 300,000 in Manitoba. The story of these fee lands goes back morethan a century to the creation of the Canadian Pacific Railway. It is the story of Western Canada and of ourindustry. The following article, reprinted with a little editing from our July 1990 company newsletter, is a shorthistory of our fee lands.

Vicki Perkins, PanCanadian Petroleum Limited

Under the terms of British Columbia's admission to Confederation in 1871, the Dominion Governmentcommitted to complete a transcontinental railway within ten years from the date of the union.

Progress was slow and little was done to keep the promise to B.C. When Sir John A. Macdonald returned topower in 1878, he realized that action must be taken to prevent a threatened secession of B.C. fromConfederation. He persuaded George Stephen, President of the Bank of Montreal, to form a syndicate to takeover the completion and operation of the Canadian Pacific Railway, although this was considered a very riskyventure.

An Act of Parliament ratifying the contract was passed on February 15, 1881, whereby Canadian Pacificundertook to complete the transcontinental railway by May 1, 1891 and to "thereafter and forever efficientlymaintain, work and run the Canadian Pacific Railway". (Incidentally, the railroad was completed five yearsahead of the contract date.) In consideration, the government agreed to grant the Company $25 million in cash,25 million acres of Crown land in Manitoba and the Northwest Territories (now Alberta and Saskatchewan),and the lines already constructed or under contract, totalling 713 miles, together with certain customs and taxconcessions.

At this time, Canada was little more than a geographical expression, and the population west of the Great Lakesdid not exceed 170,000. To encourage settlement, the government also made similar deals with othercompanies for shorter local railways, with subsidies of land adjacent to the proposed rights-of-way, usually 640acres per mile. Some of these companies eventually became part of the Canadian Pacific system.

A pattern was established for selection of the CPR's lands - all odd-numbered sections (except sections 11 and29, reserved for schools) in a belt 24 miles wide on both sides of the right-of-way. These lands, once settled,were expected to provide traffic for the line so the Company had the right to reject lands that were not "fairlyfit for settlement". The lands between Swift Current and Calgary were rejected, as average rainfall in the areawas considered insufficient for growing crops without irrigation. Consequently, some land allocations weremade in areas considerably removed from the route. The acreage evaluation and selection was a big job, andthe land grant was not completed until 1903 when the Irrigation Block in southern Alberta was selected.

In the early days when Canadian Pacific sold lands to settlers, they sold all rights with the surface, making noreservation of mineral rights. Consequently, most of PanCanadian's mineral rights are located in Alberta - thelast province to be overtaken by the westward push of settlers. As the CPR was a major consumer of coal andcoal was known to exist beneath Railway lands, it soon began to reserve coal rights. Later this was extendedto "Coal and Valuable Stone" and, around 1905, to "Coal, Petroleum and Valuable Stone". It wasn't untilCanadian Pacific formed the Department of Natural Resources in 1912 that the reservation was extended to"all Mines and Minerals".

The first important hydrocarbon activity on CPR lands began with the Coste Agreement. Eugene Coste, ageologist from Montreal, entered into a contract in the early 1900s to explore the CPR's lands for oil in Alberta'sfirst major exploration venture. His first big discovery was the Bow Island gas field, discovered by the "OldGlory" well in 1909. In 1911, he formed the company now known as Canadian Western Natural Gas CompanyLimited. It built pipelines to Calgary and Lethbridge, and communities enroute, which were completed in 1912.Gas deliveries to consumers in southern Alberta began soon after.

The next big oil industry event was the discovery, with the drilling of the Dingman well in 1914, of the TurnerValley field, which brought an increased interest in CPR mineral rights. Ten years later, Royalite #4 at TurnerValley was drilled on CPR coal and petroleum land, discovering a deeper and more productive naphtha-rich gasformation and bringing new life to the field.

The discovery of the Leduc field in February of 1947 kicked off the modern oil industry. A legal case - the Boryscase - arose out of Leduc activity and established two important principles that are still fundamental to ourbusiness. First, it confirmed that the "rule of capture" applies in Canada, subject to conservation laws andregulations. This rule provides that "those who make the recovery become owners of the material which theywithdraw from any well which is situated on their property or from which they have the authority to draw".Thus the rule of capture gives ownership of hydrocarbons to the producer, "although it may be proved that partof such oil and gas migrated from adjoining lands".

The second principle involved the legal definition of "petroleum". Mr. Borys owned fee simple lands acquiredfrom the CPR, on which the CPR had reserved "all coal, petroleum, and valuable stone". In 1949, the CPR leasedthe petroleum to Imperial Oil and they began drilling. Mr. Borys sought an injunction to restrain Imperial frominterfering with or disposing of his natural gas. The other parties claimed that the petroleum lease included allnatural gas. The case made its way through the court system and the Privy Council ruled that the reservationof petroleum included all hydrocarbons in a liquid state in the reservoir. The fact that these liquids change state,due to pressure and temperature changes when brought to the surface, does not affect the ownership of thesubstance. Accordingly, the titles to PanCanadian's petroleum fee lands only include natural gas if it is in a liquidstate in the reservoir.

The CPR's grant lands were transferred to Canadian Pacific Oil and Gas Limited when it was incorporated in1958 to develop mineral rights owned by the Railway Company. In 1971, CPOG became PanCanadian. As youcan see, Canadian Pacific played an important role in the development of Western Canada and the Canadian oiland gas industry.

GETTING TO KNOW GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS)(material taken from ESRI Inc.)

What is GIS?GIS is built upon knowledge from geography, cartography, computer science and mathematics. GIS is atoolbox to capture, store, retrieve, analyze, and display spatial data. GIS applications may be web-basedand include land registration, utilities, forestry, environmental planning and demography. Almost all humanactivity and natural phenomena are spatially distributed, and can be studied using a GIS.

How does GIS work?A GIS stores information about the world as a collection of thematiclayers that can be linked together by geography. This simple butextremely powerful and versatile concept has proven invaluable forsolving many real-world problems from tracking delivery vehicles, torecording details of planning applications and modeling globalatmospheric circulation. A working GIS integrates five key components:hardware, software, data, people and methods. A GIS can use manydifferent database tables directly or through ODBC like Access, Oracle,or SAP technology.

When was GIS started?The first recognized GIS was developed in Canada for the CanadianFederal Government in the 1960s and was known as the CanadaGeographic Information System.

How can GIS help you?Many computer programs, such as spreadsheets, statistics packages or drafting packages can handlesimple geographic or spatial data but do not permit any spatial operations on the data. They can answernon-spatial queries such as "How many ABC stores in the city?" but can't answer spatial queries such as"How many ABC stores are within a 2 km radius of the nearest competitor store in the city?". Otherquestions like "What is at this road intersection?" (location), "Where is an unforested section of land at least2000 meters in size?" (condition), "What has changed since last year within 100 meters of the river?"(trends), "Is cancer a major cause of death among residents near a nuclear power station?" (patterns), and" What if a new road is added to the network?" (modelling) can only be answered with a GIS since thesequeries are all based on geographical data. This ability to analyse data using this technology is applicableacross all PriceWaterhouseCoopers lines of services.

Industry and government agencies continue to struggle for effective and efficient means to distribute,publish, and interact with their spatial data. With the arrival of the information age, many new dataexchange technologies are emerging utilising the World Wide Web within a GIS. This allows for globaldistribution of corporate data, which was previously unavailable to most users. Based on user selectedcriteria, spatial and attribute data can be gathered for dynamic publication to a web browser. This couldgreatly reduce lag-time inherent in preparing, bundling and shipping of hard copy information.

TEARING DOWN SOME OLD BARRIERS

(This article was originally printed in the PetroleumExplorer Quarterly Magazine, March 2000 edition. It isreprinted here with the permission of Nickle’s EnergyGroup, so that our readers can be familiar with thisissue and possible developments related to it.)

Over the last four and a half years, Alberta ResourceDevelopment (formerly Alberta Energy), the CanadianAssociation of Petroleum Producers (CAPP), the SmallExplorers and Producers Association of Canada(SEPAC), the Canadian Association of PetroleumLandmen (CAPL) and the Canadian Association ofPetroleum Land Administration (CAPLA) have beenworking together to update the Alberta land tenureregime.

This work resulted in many changes in thedepartment's administrative practices and policies, aswell as major regulatory changes in 1997 and inJanuary 2000. Taken as a whole, the changes are ofsignificant mutual benefit to government and industry,largely because of the enhanced understanding of ourrespective processes and business needs.

Those of us who had the opportunity to participatedirectly in the project are very pleased with thoseoutcomes. The most far-reaching impact of theproject, though, is the breakthrough in therelationship between the department and industryregarding mineral tenure.

Early in the project, we developed a mutual desire towork together on an ongoing basis to build jointsolutions to common problems. As Dr. Steve West,Minister of Resource Development, observed,"Working with stakeholders to develop strategiestogether has proven to be a very successful tool forbuilding trust, consensus and partnership from thevery first stages of a project."

While we didn't realize it at the time, the foundationfor the success of the project was created at the firstmeeting, when the participants jointly established thephilosophy, objectives and principles that were togovern us over the entire process.

The objectives were to "ensure that industry receivesan appropriate reward and recognition for risks taken,ensure government optimization of economic rent(i.e., bonuses, fees, rentals, royalties) and establishand maintain an open two-way dialogue on existing

processes and proposed alternatives." Theseobjectives were used to test specific proposals whenissues arose in our discussions, with changes oftenmade after someone asked how a proposal wasconsistent with the "risk-reward test". The objectiveswere also used to provide a context for our work inour communications with industry over the project.

One other decision was made at the first meeting thatwas a major factor in the creation of the spirit ofcollaboration that characterized the project.

We agreed that the participants would freely sharetheir personal observations in our discussions,regardless of the hat that they were nominallywearing. The impact of this approach on the level oftrust was apparent when the department was willingto share some of the internal debates on proposals inonly the second meeting. This willingness of theparticipants to share their personal opinions createda results focus that often allowed us to improveproposals significantly at our meetings.

There were many lessons taken from the process thatwill provide a framework for our future work onmineral tenure projects. We hope that the JointAlberta Petroleum and Natural Gas Tenure ReviewProject will also be the template for many otherprojects between regulators and industry, so thatothers may discover the gains that can be made bytearing down the historic barriers that have separatedus. As Jim Moore, President of the CanadianAssociation of Petroleum Landmen, noted, "Manypositive changes were made by working inpartnership with the department on this project, andwe intend to build on this relationship as we worktogether on future projects. We hope that similarmutual benefits can be obtained by using thisapproach in other industry projects with regulators."

From a personal perspective, we consider ourselvesfortunate to have been involved in this project - for thebusiness results we achieved, for the collaborativeenvironment that has been created and for theongoing friendships that have been made.

WELCOME TO THE IOGC CORNERNEW SURFACE LEASE AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY AGREEMENTS

The following information will be of particular interest to those oil and gas companies which have orintend to secure surface leases and rights-of-way on Indian lands. Inan effort to expedite completed surface lease and right-of-waydocuments to lessees working on Indian lands, Indian Oil and GasCanada (IOGC) has developed new surface access approvalprocedures and associated documents.

The main highlight of the new document is that the applicationinformation and lease contract have been combined into oneinstrument. Rather than issuing a written approval followed by thelease documentation some time after, the approval of surfaceaccess for surface leases or rights-of-way will be granted when thelease agreements are executed. Land administrators who presentlywork with IOGC surface documents know the administrativecomplications when the access approvals arrive considerably soonerthan the actual surface lease contracts or right-of-way agreements.Under this new system, land administrators will have information intheir land systems which reflects the current surface activities onIndian lands.

Implementation of this new process will involve some significant amendments to the existing approvalprocess. A two step approval procedure has been developed to ensure the information requirementsunder the Indian Oil and Gas Canada (1995) Regulations are satisfied prior to execution of thedocument.

During the first phase of the new approval process, IOGC will review preliminary information which isto be submitted by the applicant. After the information submitted in phase one has been verified byIOGC Surface Land, they will notify the applicant; notification will be via fax and will include allenvironmental conditions which will become part of the agreement. The second stage of the approvalprocess provides opportunity for the applicant to review the environmental conditions associated withthe proposed project. If the applicant concurs with the information in the agreement, they then seekapproval of Chief and Council. Once the applicant and Chief and Council have signed the agreement,it is submitted to IOGC for final execution. The issuance of the surface lease or right-of-way agreementis the applicant's approval to begin construction of their project.

For those applicants seeking approval of surface leases and rights-of-way on the White Bear, HorseLake, Blood, Siksika, Hay Lake and Amber River Indian Reserves, the process is somewhat different.The management of oil and gas resources on the above Indian lands are being jointly administeredby each respective First Nation and IOGC. The applicant will be required to submit all information toboth the First Nation and IOGC where it will be jointly reviewed and approved.

Detailed instructions have been included with the new forms which have been mailed to all currentlessees working on Indian lands. If all information received is satisfactory, IOGC will maintain itsservice standard of approving a surface lease within 12 working days.

2000 & BEYOND Committee Highlights

MARKETING COMMITTEEThe Marketing Committee had tremendous resultswith exhibitors raising over $60,000 in sponsorshipopportunities. In addition to the funds raised, we werealso able to secure hundreds of dollars in donationstowards prizes for the conference and Saturday socialevents.

This was accomplished during a period which saw bigcompetition from other industry conferences, namelythe World Petroleum Congress and the NationalPetroleum Show. During this time there was also acontinued focus by our companies on cost reductions,resulting in industry cutbacks.

Since the conference, feedback has been receivedfrom sponsors and exhibitors indicating their level ofcommitment to CAPLA, with their wish to be involvedin future conferences and events. Many valuableprecedents have been set by the committee for futureuse by CAPLA volunteers.

I would like to thank each individual involved on theMarketing Committee for their hard work anddedication to making 2000 & Beyond theoverwhelming success that it was.

Shona MacDonald, Marketing Chair

FACILITIES COMMITTEEThe committee enjoyed another successfulconference! Thank you to all committee members whoworked so hard. Attendance at both luncheonsexceeded 1998 conference numbers. The ClosingReception was popular with members and proved tobe another favorite. CAPLA Conference 2002 will beexciting, as it takes place at the newly renovatedRound Up Center. I am very enthusiastic about theplanning phase and hope that I once again have theopportunity to be Chair for this committee.

Andrea Zambo, Facilities Chair

REGISTRATION COMMITTEEFrom registration forms being sent out to theregistration signup, another conference has come and

gone! There were 700 registrants at the conferenceand close to 500 attendees at the luncheons each day.The Committee worked hard as a team to be ready forthe conference, and had lots of fun doing it!

In all it was a wonderful experience and I encourageanyone who has some spare time to get involved involunteering for the next conference. I would like tothank the volunteers of the committee who helpedwith their time, ideas and encouraging words. It is agreat feeling to belong to an organization that offerssuch support to each other!

"KUDOS" for CAPLA 2000 & Beyond!!!Thanks very much for inviting me to participate. The "wolves" have a homeon top of our curio case at home. It's safe to say that I will always have aparticularly special reason to remember the momento.

Thanks for your hard work (Debra Corbin, session coordinator). You were soconscientious, when it must have sometimes looked like I wouldn't havepresentation materials in advance of your deadlines.

I was very impressed with the high degree of organization and quality of the sessions. All of our folkswho went really enjoyed the conference.

Jim MacLean, presenter

I just wanted to thank you (Jim MacLean) for all your hard work and participation in the conference.I've heard only positive comments about how well the conference was organized, the exceptionalquality of speakers and the information content of the various sessions.

Thanks again for making my job so easy. Great job on a great session!

Debra Corbin, session coordinator

I was fortunate enough to attend yesterday's conference, which I thought was extremely wellorganized. I really enjoyed the sponsors. I felt I got value for my money and wish to congratulate allthose involved in the organization of CAPLA 2000 & Beyond. It takes a tremendous amount of workand dedication!

Lorraine Grant, registrant

YOU WANTED TO KNOW!YOU WANTED TO KNOW!OU

WANTED TO KNOW!

Have you ever had a work-related question you were afraid to ask because your supervisor or co-workersmight think that you should know the answer? Send your anonymous question to NEXUS Editorial Team

and watch for the answer in an upcoming issue.

As pertains to surface land documentation, what is the differencebetween an asset transfer and an amalgamation? What type of

certificate is issued by the Crown when an asset transfer is requested?

A "Transfer of Crown Dispositions" is required when an asset is sold. It must list the dispositionsapplicable to the sale, and be executed by both the Purchaser and the Vendor. The document must reflectthe parties (as per Crown title searches), or will be rejected by the Crown if either company is incorrect.

The Crown acknowledges this transfer with a letter of confirmation to the Purchaser and Vendor.

An amalgamation of companies requires that a copy of the Certificate of Amalgamation be sent to theCrown. It must state the two or more amalgamating corporations that will continue as one corporation.

An amalgamation is treated the same as a Change of Name would be, i.e., the Crown would make a"global" change to its records to reflect the new company.

MENTORING COMMITTEE

What is mentoring?In Greek mythology it was a friend of Odysseus entrustedwith the education of Odysseus's son, Telemachus. Thefriend was to be a wise counselor to Telemachus. Inancient Greece mentoring was recognized as a mutuallybeneficial way of developing people.

In modern times, the role of a mentor can vary frombeing a coach, advisor, counselor, advocate, teacher or afriend. Modern day research has shown that working in anurturing, positive and supportive environment increasesour productivity.

Attributes of a mentorFirst and foremost it is being who you are! Also, a mentoris patient, committed, able to communicate, able tolisten, and is self-confident.

Attributes of the menteeIdentify what your career need is and what kind of helpyou require before you decide to be mentored. Also, amentee is committed, able to communicate, able tolisten, and able to show appreciation.

Benefits of mentoring flows in both directionsFor the mentor it will provide an avenue for them to giveback to the profession in a very meaningful way.Mentoring facilitates the "realization of a dream". For thementee it will help them reach their potential in personaland professional growth by receiving needed advice andlearning something new.

CAPLA Mentoring ProgramThis program:• is aimed at pairing experienced and knowledgeable

mentors with mentees in the hopes of broadeningthe mentees' knowledge base; and

• helps provide a forum for mentees to develop theirskills and develop a greater understanding of landconcepts and issues.

As an association with a membership of 1600 members,there should be numerous mentors and menteesavailable to volunteer for this program. Please considerbecoming a mentor or mentee and taking an active partin this program by contacting any member of the CAPLAMentoring Committee listed below:

HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

U.S. SITUATIONThe situation in the U.S. can be summarized asfollows:• steadily increasing consumption,• recent declines in domestic production, and• thank goodness for the availability of increased

imports from Canada.

NATURAL GAS CONSUMPTION 1980 - 2000Natural gas consumption has been rising steadily inthe U.S. over the past decade, up almost 33% overthat period. This rise is being driven by theincreased demand for electrical power which ispartly due to the spectacular growth in newtechnologies and in online business applications.Virtually 100% of all new electrical generation inthe U.S. planned for the next decade or so is basedon the assumed availability of natural gas supplies.

U.S. NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION 1980 - 2000In the past 15 years, natural gas production in theU.S. increased from a low of about 44 Bcf/d in themid 1980s to a high of almost 52 Bcf/d in 1998.Since 1998, production has steadily decreased.

NATURAL GAS IMPORTS FROM CANADA TO THE U.S.The gap between domestic U.S. supply and demandhas been filled by a sharply rising level of imports,mainly from Canada. Imports from Canada haveincreased almost fivefold since 1986.

Over the past two decades, oil's share of the U.S.market has fallen, first due to higher oil prices andthen due to competition from other fuels andenvironmental concerns. The Oil & Gas Journalpredicts that energy from natural gas will increaseby 2.1% in 2000 - that the share of natural gas inthe energy market will move up to 24.2% in 2000.

NATURAL GAS IN NORTH AMERICALarge volumes of natural gas move from the Gulf ofMexico and adjacent onshore areas to the highlyconcentrated areas of consumption in thenortheast. This supply/demand corridor dominates

the present natural gas supply/demand balance onthe continent.The key to understanding this vital balance is toclosely examine the older production in the shelfarea of the Gulf of Mexico and the new productioncoming from deeper waters in the Gulf.

GULF OF MEXICO SHELF PRODUCTIONThe very prolific Gulf of Mexico is separated intoShelf production, i.e., from waters less than 660deep, and production from deeper waters down tomany thousands of feet.

Three items are noteworthy of the main natural gasproducing areas of the U.S.:• The slow and steady decline in production from

major producing areas such as South Texas,South Louisiana, and West Texas from 1970 tothe present.

• The very rapid rise and the importance of theGulf of Mexico production. This acceleration inproduction is a consequence of the excellentproducing reservoirs in the Gulf. These rockshave very high porosity and permeability. As aresult, they have what is known in the trade asa "short deliverability life index". This meansthat they can produce all their reserves in asfew as three or four years. Most reservoirsproduce their reserves over anywhere from 10to 30 years depending on their quality.Production from the Shelf presently representsroughly 25% of all U.S. production.

• There is a rapid rise in imports of Canadiannatural gas. Canada is the second mostimportant supply source for the U.S. after theGulf of Mexico. This tells us that the giganticU.S. natural gas market, the largest market inthe world, has become dependent upon Gulf ofMexico and Canadian supplies.

GULF OF MEXICO SHELF NATURAL GAS PRODUCTIONIn 20 years, from 1960-1980, the Gulf of MexicoShelf came to dominate the U.S. natural gas supply.The aforementioned short deliverability life ischaracteristic of the rapid swings, or changes, inthe production.

SPEAKER’S NOTES


22

SPEAKER’S NOTES cont’d

The rapid buildup of production in the 1960s and1970s was as a result of the discovery of severalmulti-trillion cubic foot "giant" fields. No giant fieldshave been found in the past 10 to 15 years. Theproduction levels have been sustained by findingmany smaller fields with 3D seismic, new sub-saltexploration techniques, more infill drilling, fieldcompression, etc.

GULF OF MEXICO DEEP WATER NATURAL GASPRODUCTIONResearch indicates great uncertainty regarding thefuture prospects for increased production from thisarea.

The "best case" summary of these two forecasts isthat hopefully the inevitable decline in the Shelf willbe offset with increased production from new deepwater fields.

NATURAL GAS IN CANADAProduction from the Western CanadianSedimentary Basin (WCSB) has been increasingsince gas was first discovered over 100 years ago.However it has recently begun to show signs oflevelling out.

Over the past three years, the expectation thatCanada would meet increased North Americandemand helped generate record levels of drillingand capital spending aimed at identifying newreserves of natural gas in Canada. However, thereality is that Canada's natural gas supply has notresponded as expected.

In 1999, despite a record of 6,300 gas wells drilled,production from the WCSB has remained relativelyflat. Slightly less than half of 1999's gas wells werelocated in southeastern Alberta, where initialdecline rates exceed 30% and reserve sizes arerelatively small. These reserves, while providinggood economics for producers, add little tosustainable production over the long-term.

Prior to the mid-1970s, our Western Canadiannatural gas production was sourced in conventional

fields in both Alberta and British Columbia.

For 25 years, from the mid-1970s to the present,this original, conventional gas supply, which hascontinually increased over time, was augmented bythe widespread, low pressure, high declinereserves in southeastern Alberta and southwesternSaskatchewan. The limits of this shallowproduction are now being reached. It is increasinglydifficult and will soon prove impossible to sustainthis production due to the geologic limits to thereservoirs. We are now falling back on thetraditional areas in Alberta and B.C. to sustain ourlevels of production.

However, the industry has underestimated thedifficulty in terms of lead times and capital neededto explore for and develop reserves from thesedeeper, more complex and higher risk targets.

Added to this shift in exploration focus is the needto combat the increasing declines in productionfrom presently producing WCSB reserves asreservoirs age.

Now, combine this with the reality that the big, easyand high quality targets have probably beendiscovered. I believe we can summarize theprospects for future gas supply from the WCSB asfollows: The Basin will remain an excellent place toexplore for and develop new supplies. Theinfrastructure is highly developed and producernetbacks will remain attractive but our industry willbe increasingly hard pressed to sustain our presentlevels of production in future years.

HUBBERT CURVEYears ago, the eminent American geologist, Dr. KingHubbert, published his analysis of the growth,stability and deterioration from petroleum andnatural gas basins as they age. He condensed hisanalysis to a curve - the Hubbert Curve.

The basis of the curve is that the big, easy to findand high quality reservoirs are found early in thelife of a basin and, as a consequence, production


23


rises rapidly. Later, as exploration progresses andthe basin ages, the big fields begin to decline and,even as more wells are drilled and morediscoveries are made, they are inevitably of lessersize and quality even though they are,characteristically, more numerous. Theconsequence of all this is that although activity andinvestment increases, overall production declines.

• Non-Persian Gulf has flattened out at the top ofthe curve.

• U.S. & WCSB conventional oil production hasbeen declining for a number of years and hasstarted down the back side of the curve.

• U.S. natural gas production is just over the topand will soon start to decline, if it has not doneso already.

• WCSB production is just entering the top of thecurve.

Substantial production will continue for manydecades in these aging basins but ever more wellsand investment will be required.

NORTH AMERICAN NATURAL GAS

New Supplies(a) Deep Water Gulf of Mexico

At best, new deep water production will offsetthe inevitable declines for the shallow waterproduction.

(b) Mackenzie Delta & AlaskaThere are 7 to 10 Tcf of potential natural gasreserves in the Delta and another 50-70 Tcffurther west in Northern Alaska. There is alsolarge exploration potential for new supplies inboth areas. Northern natural gas will beattached to markets but I suspect it will take aslong as 10 years and $10 billion. Maybe a bitsooner or later, but even with more enthusiasticnorthern governments, it will take considerabletime and big bucks to connect that gas to ourpresent pipeline grid.

(c) East CoastLast winter the Northeast Pipeline starteddelivering Sable Island gas to U.S. markets at

the initial rate of 200 to 300 mmcf/d. Within ayear, this system will be full with maximumproduction (domestic plus exports) reaching700 Mmcf/d. Recent discoveries andaccelerated exploration and developmentdrilling together with additional pipelinecompression and expansion could conceivablyincrease production to 3% to 5% of 2000 NorthAmerican production.

(d) MexicoMexico has roughly the same natural gasresource base as Canada and presentlyproduces only approximately 30% of ourCanadian production. Mexico, by sheernecessity, will increase its natural gasexploration and production activity in the next5 to 10 years. And Mexico will need all of thatnew production to fuel its growing clean energyrequirements as it further industrializes.The U.S. should not count on any imports fromMexico of any consequence in the foreseeablefuture. The same goes for Mexico counting onU.S. supplies to fuel their needs - that is notgoing to be in the cards.

(e) LNGLast year, the U.S. imported roughly 120 Bcf toits two gassification plants at Boston andLafayette, Louisiana. Imports came fromAlgeria, Australia, Qatar, Trinidad and theUnited Arab Emirates.

SUMMARY - NATURAL GAS SUPPLY/DEMAND BALANCEThe strongest likelihood over the next 5 to 10 yearsis that North American supplies will continue totighten as demand continues to rise and supplyfrom conventional U.S. and Canadian basinsstabilizes or begins to gradually decline.

It was emphasized that this will be a good time forthe producers who can compete and succeed inthese maturing basins.

OK, SO WHERE DOES THIS TAKE US?The U.S. is now experiencing the first reservoir-limited shortage in the history of its natural gasproducing industry. In fact, the U.S. has been


24

natural gas deliverability short for several years.The impact of this supply shortage has beendelayed by a combination of several warm winters,maximum exploitation of present reserves (front-ending production) and the vitally necessaryincreased imports from Canada.

But now, Houston we have a problem! U.S.production is starting to falter, first-year declinesare up dramatically, storage levels are low and, inthe near term, we Canadians cannot be countedupon to continue to increase the quantity of gas wehave for export to the U.S.

Prices will probably be higher this summer thanthey were last winter.

Demand for gas in the U.S. is presently 22 Tcf/year.Some forecasts are projecting demand increasingto 25 and even 30 Tcf/year by 2010 and 2015.

Where will these new supplies be sourced?

THE LNG CARDThe distinct possibility exists that LNG shipmentsto both coasts of the U.S. will increase substantiallyover the next decade. If this is to happen, many newreceiving terminals will be required - there are onlytwo presently in operation.

There will be local resistance to such terminals.Maybe abandoned offshore platforms could beutilized? They already have the pipelineinfrastructure.

The U.S. imported approximately 330 Mmcf/d ofLNG in 1999 through two facilities which have atotal capacity of 1.05 Bcf/d. In addition, there aremothballed LNG receiving terminals in the U.S.(Maryland and Georgia) with a combined capacityof 1.54 Bcf/d.

A further 1 Bcf/d could be added with minimalcapital cost, bringing the total U.S. LNG receivingcapacity to approximately 3.5 Bcf/d, 6% of 1999U.S. demand.

If and when LNG imports increase to approximately10% of U.S. demand, there will be a structuralchange in North American natural gas supply. Oursupply in North America is presently continental. Itcould, with a significant increase in LNG imports,become an important part of the global market.

When that happens, it could trigger manyinteresting consequences. One of the moreinteresting ones would be to see the gas exportingcountries ultimately banding together and actingmuch as OPEC functions today.

PUBLIC EXPECTATIONSWe have become dangerously complacentregarding our natural gas supplies on thiscontinent. New frontier supplies, by their verynature, take long lead times and very largeinvestments. If the supply/demand situationtightens in the next five to ten years, we must starttoday to prepare consumers for that possibility.

It is important that we communicate thesepossibilities early so that the public and thegovernment don't feel that once again they havebeen blind-sided - taken off guard.

If we are to sustain our credibility, we must planahead, create awareness and understanding. Wemust promote increased industry activity andhasten the delivery of frontier supplies. We mustalso create a more attractive environment forinvestment.

If we can all agree that we probably have aproblem, then we can all work together towardsolutions. Solutions that will work for allstakeholders. Now is the time to start the dialogue.
