Competitive Economic Ranking of
North American Gas Basins - 2nd Edition
While gas prices cannot be controlled, gas costs can be.
A first key step to have a clear gas cost benchmark of what is achievable.
This follow-up study assesses costs of gas for major gas basins as of mid 2009,
with specific focus on new and emerging Gas Shale Plays.
A new feature in this study is the break-even gas economics.
The study is available in Spring 2010.

Competitive Economic Ranking of North American Gas Basins - 1st Edition
While gas prices oscillate within the various North American gas production basins,
the drilling, completions, operating, and other costs incurred by gas producers
to find, develop, and then operate are rising - fast! This new Ziff Energy
study is designed to provide answers to the key questions critical to North American
gas supply dynamics: which U.S. basins are worth pursuing? What is the cost structure
for new gas? How competitive is Canadian gas today? Ziff Energy analyzed
gas supply costs from 20 gas basins in North America. The 90+ page report
is available now.

Northern Gas: A New Assessment of the Impacts
Many industry players plan to be active in Northern Gas, and its impact will affect
the entire North American gas industry. This new 140 page multi-client Northern
Gas study provides North American producers, marketers, pipelines, LDCs, storage
operators, end-users, and governments with Ziff Energy's practical insights and
cutting-edge opinions of the impact that Northern gas deliveries will have on pipelines,

The Stars are Aligning ... Evolution of the Dawn Trading Hub
A significant number of long-haul transportation contracts on TransCanada serving
the Ontario, Quebec, and U.S. Northeast markets have expired, and more will expire
in the next few years. These gas markets may consider Dawn as a liquid
market hub from which base short-haul market area transportation services.
Dawn appears to be an ideal location due to: large underground gas storage capacity,
access to traditional Canadian and U.S. gas supplies, and a direct connection to
Chicago (which benefits from competition among basins, multiple transporters, and
potential imcremental gas production from the Rockies, and eventually from Northern
Gas). This 70 page study focuses on issues to 2010.

Natural Gas Marketing and Transportation Contracting
This 45 page multi-client marketing and transportation contracting assessment provides
Western Canadian producers, Midwest gas distributors, marketers, pipelines, large
end-users, and governments with Ziff Energy's strategic insights and cutting-edge
opinions on the impact of significant transportation contract expiries during the

Northern Gas Flowing South
Addresses northern gas supply, regulatory/government issues, and gas delivery options
to 2015. It provides an assessment of the impact on North American gas markets,
and other non-northern gas supply. We used Dr. Robert Brooks, Natural Gas
Market Forecasting System, GPCM for our pipeline, storage, and gas pricing analysis.
The eight chapter (164 page) study contains over 90 figures and tables and is available
now.

Beyond the Midwest: Focuses on the Northeast Opportunities
This 110 page comprehensive study analyzes the natural gas dynamics and critical
issues facing the U.S. and Canadian Northeast. Emphasis is placed on gas supply
from not only the traditional sources, but also from the Maritimes offshore and
LNG. The market/demand outlook includes electric generation, pipeline load
factors and future requirements, and natural gas basis differentials. The
study addresses the time period 2001 - 2006 and focuses on the fundamentals that
will drive the natural gas environment. The study is available now.

The U.S. Midwest: On the Verge of Transformation
With the opening of the new Alliance/Vector corridor in November 2000, the Midwest
changed from a downstream gas market to a midstream market and hub through which
gas will flow from both U.S. and Canadian gas markets. The 135 page Ziff Energy
study assesses the key factors that affect the flows of natural gas into and through
the Midwest, their expected impacts on regional prices and basis differentials,
their implications for North American gas pipelines (existing and proposed), and
the potential growth in midwest markets for North American gas producers.
The study is available now.
