2 Issues to be Discussed Crude Oil Supply Crude Oil Pricing Refining Capacity Products Supply Products Pricing Future of the Industry

3 CRUDE OIL SUPPLY A WORLD LOOK

4 Crude Oil Supply (2006) World Crude Oil Production Millions of Barrels Per Day FSU/E. Europe Middle East Africa 9.8 W. Europe Total: 85MMB/D Latin America US/Canada Asia/Pacific Asia/Pacific Africa World Proven Crude Oil Reserves Billions of Barrels FSU/E. Europe 743 W. Europe Latin America Middle Middle East East Total: 1,292 BB US/Canada Asia /Pacific Africa

5 Crude Oil Demand Demand has risen by 7 MMBD (9%) since Demand at 85 MMBD or 98% of world daily delivery capacity. Vulnerable to supply disruptions caused by storms, accidents, breakdowns, political unrest. 65% of proven reserves within national oil companies and 16% held by Russia. Traditional companies have full access to 7% of reserves and 12% through partners (if allowed).

31 FUTURE OF THE INDUSTRY

32 Current Realities Crude production at maximum rates based on existing infrastructure U.S. refining running at maximum capacity (less turnaround activity) No new refineries in the near term Existing refinery expansions must fill gap Increase crude capacity and conversion capabilities to meet light product demand Asphalt must keep pace with conversion feed values to encourage production

33 Factors Influencing Asphalt Price Absolute price of crude (WTI benchmark) Light/Heavy crude price differential Light product crack spread Coking economics Impact of clean fuels (sweet crudes) Heavy crude availability (Venezuela/Canadian) Transportation costs Supply/Demand

34 Future For Asphalt More heavy crude being run (availability and price) Clean fuels capital behind refiners, up-graders next? Asphalt is more expensive in a $70.00 crude world Asphalt has to trend faster with crude oil prices Asphalt has to be more competitive with light products Transportation costs rising Rail, Barge, Terminalling State asphalt price indexes reduce supplier/contractor risk
