  2. Market Observations • Lease condensate production from the Rockies (Williston, PRB, DJ) projected to grow by 84,000 b/d, from 266,000 b/d to 350,000 b/d, over the next five years • 95% of that growth is from the DJ Basin • Lease condensate production can be blended into the pipelines, but pipelines have specs that limit the % light ends • However, excess takeaway capacity and batching make hitting any sort of “blend wall” difficult • Possibly a problem only in the DJ, depending on how concentrated the barrels area • Rail can access the Canadian diluent market or Gulf Coast market (Splitters/Exports) and provide an uplift to distressed light barrels • However current pipeline capacity is causing previously distressed barrels to receive a higher price, closing the arb. • Rail provides Rockies’ producers with a coastal market, rather than only delivering a Cushing market • Producers can get Brent-based pricing 2

  25. Options for a DJ Barrel (60 API) • Pipeline to Cushing • DJ Lease Barrel: WTI-$5 • Quality Deduct: -$6 (60 API) • Value at Lease: WTI-$11 • Rail to Canada as Diluent • Canadian condensate: WTI-$2 • Implies: If rail is less than $9/bbl, this works • Rail to Gulf Coast for Splitting • Splitter Uplift: +$3/bbl • Implies if rail + splitter fee is < $14/bbl, this works 25
