Third Quarter 2014 Regulatory Outlook, New Report Launched

Report reflects key actions undertaken by Governmental Agencies impacting the current and future oil environment. These rulings / adjustments to existing regulations could impact trade flows and / or impact project timing with an impact on Capital Expenditures.

Report considers changes in environmental regulations, Court rulings impacting projects, changes in bio-fuels mandates and potential significant energy flow impacts from initial Governmental decisions.

Scope

Report provides information and insight on:

• Governmental Agency Rulings including
• U.S. Department of Energy Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) approved a request from two (2) companies to export distilled (lightly processed) condensate from the U.S. This is the first approval granted and could open the door to a significant increase in distilled condensate and potentially distilled crude oil from U.S. - A GAME CHANGER!
• Canada’s National Energy Board (NEB) delays its decision on the Trans-Mountain Pipeline that will bring Canadian Oil Sands crude to Burnaby and Vancouver.
• Canada’s Transportation Safety Board mandates the phase-out of older rail-cars and then U.S. agency follows-up with similar ruling
• India to end diesel subsidies while Indonesia moving to fixed fuel subsidy plan (both done to reduce Government budget deficits)
• China to double crude import license to Independent refiners
• Court Rulings
• Canada’s Supreme Court favors aboriginal’s claims to lands putting Northern Gateway Pipeline proposal at risk
• New York State Supreme Court ruling effectively ends fracking debate in New York State
• Environmental
• Australia moves to repeal is carbon tax
• European Union places limit on food-based biofuels
• DOE approved reduction in 2014 biofuel targets
• China repeals its sale tax on “green vehicles”
• Japan providing subsidies and tax breaks on fuel cell vehicles

Reasons to buy

• The report will enhance your understanding of the impact of changing regulations on industry fundamentals.
• Canada’s decision to delay pipeline construction that would bring crude oil to their West Coast has infrastructure capital impacts as well as future trade flows
• U.S. decision to allow distilled condensate exports opens-up opportunities to export condensate to South America / Asia and impact condensate splitter economics on proposed plants in U.S.
• Changes in biofuel mandates in OECD countries would impact entire bio-fuel supply chain
• Similar rail-car regulation in Canada & U.S. could promote rail transportation for incremental crude production in both Canada and U.S.
