3 Natural gas demand in 2006 According to the Ministry of Energy (1), natural gas demand was bcf/d in % corresponded to the oil sector; 35.7% to the power sector; 14.6% to the industry, and 1.6% to residential and other services. Natural gas demand is expected to increase at an overall annual rate of 3.9% over the next 10 years. (1) Prospectiva del mercado de gas natural

9 How to face increasing demand? Continue promoting investment in: Development of LNG terminals along both the Pacific and the Gulf coasts; Pipeline infrastructure both to strengthen crossinterconnections and access to new LNG plants. A predictable and transparent regulation gives investors and developers the flexibility to structure their projects in a variety of ways; Continue with public education campaigns with: Community Interest groups Local authorities

10 Community approach: ChevronTexaco LNG Project Although the project was cancelled due to externalities, ChevronTexaco developed a very active collaboration with the local government of Tijuana to present the project to the community. A regional office was opened to carry out meetings with the community to respond to their questions and explain the project in detail. CRE participated with ChTx in several local meetings with the community. ChevronTexaco signed a Collaboration Agreement with the local municipality to help a local college and provide them with computational hardware & software, amongst other community projects.

11 Community approach: ECA (Sempra) LNG Terminal Sempra practices a philosophy of active cooperation and support in the communities, forming alliances with institutions to support education, health and environmental programs. Sempra has collaborated with Visión Ensenada 2025, the Business Center and Environmental Board on an environmental conservation and ecotourism project in the region. CRE participated with Sempra in several local meetings to address issues of the project with local residents. Public consultations have been carried out by CRE and investors to respond to safety and security issues of the LNG Terminal. Sempra is the international sponsor of the extraordinary film on Baja California and the Sea of Cortés called Ocean Oasis.

12 Community approach: Manzanillo LNG Terminal Located in the Pacific coast of Mexico, the Port of Manzanillo will have an LNG Terminal to provide natural gas to an existing 2000 MW heavy-fuel oil thermal power plant which pollutes the area. Although this is a Federal project involving 6 adjacent projects, the national concern for the recovery of a shallow lagoon and to preserve the regional mangrove is up in the agenda of several government offices. Local public hearings have taken place to address issues of safety and to listen the opinions of the community.

13 Consensus first Sonora LNG Terminal The reason why to approach the community Who is the Community? A successful case Sonora LNG Terminal & Pipeline

14 The reason why to approach the community Approaching the Community beforehand: A key success factor Community feels considered Community learns about the project through a transparent process Community provides input Process disarms local opposition

15 Who is the Community? W s you must define: Where will the project be located? Who is the community? What does the community need? What will be the community s reaction? When should you approach the community?

17 A success case- Sonora LNG Terminal and Pipeline Objective: Community Approach Present Project the Community (locals, Goverment, NGO s, Academic, Experts) before applying to get key permits (SEMARNAT,CRE) Information provided to the community: Mission and Vision of the Company The Project Related Risks Why Puerto Libertad?

20 A success case- Sonora LNG Terminal and Pipeline Execution: Expert Panel Consulting Main potencial impacts on Regional Environmental System were identified Need to do a round table with marine mammals experts The objective was to explain the project in order to get qualified opinions as well as possible measures to mitigate impacts (if any) Different research centers involved

21 A success case- Sonora LNG Terminal and Pipeline Execution: CBW (Consensus Building Workshops) Objective Project Insight Opinions and recomendations Consensus Building Methodology, (CBW) Invitation with project information Public invitation to Workshops Workshops include presentation and questions Survey procedure and results at real time, and ongoing feedback Quantify Community perception Benefits Several sector opinions Coverage (community) Risk prediction and management Adjust: Investment decision and timing Studies Permit applications

23 Key Success : Consensus first, Implementation later

24 Conclusions Natural gas foreseen demand s growth in Mexico will require infrastructure to secure supply. LNG is a critical part in any strategy to secure supply. CRE s predictable, flexible and transparent regulation sets good conditions for LNG projects. Besides current LNG facilities (Altamira and Ensenada) new projects will probably be completed in the following years. Projects at the pacific rim have more demand but fewer LNG sources; projects in the Gulf of Mexico have more sources but would seem to have less demand.

25 Conclusions CRE encourages investors to explain scope of project, safety issues and overall benefits Public hearings involving CRE and investors have always been set up with beneficial effects Although two LNG projects have been cancelled, investors have approached both the community and local authorities to provide information on the project. Investors have opened local offices before the project is presented to CRE to establish a close communication with residents. Cooperation agreements have always been signed with local authorities to provide help, especially to low-income groups.

CANAL VENTANAS PIPELINE TO POWER PLANT PIPELINE TO GUADALAJARA Port facilities will be a responsibility of CFE. POWER PLANT PROSPECTIVE SITE FOR LNG TERMINAL Next clarifications meeting on 09/06. CANAL TEPALCATES

35 Puerto Libertad Project Terminal GNL de Sonora (TGNLS) is a joint venture project by El Paso/DKRW (50/50). Preliminary engineering has been completed. Environmental permits were granted by SEMARNAT in November and December of last year. In process of applying for other local and federal permits. Currently in talks and negotiations with potential LNG suppliers in the pacific basin. Once LNG supplies are secured, TGNLS will apply for LNG plant and transport permits with CRE.

37 Other Projects Yucatán Project aims to gasify the peninsula and secure future supply for CFE; Estimated capacity would be around 1 bcm/yr or 1 bcf/d. Topolobampo Project would be anchored by new CFE gas projects in the northwest. Off shore projects Both are linked to underground storage projects and would fit perfect for spot cargoes; The north one has been proposed by Terranova (Tidelands) and could use a new transport line from the Tamaulipas coast to Nuevo León and Texas; The south one would use Tuzandeptl salt dome storage.
