FundamentalsNatural Gas and NGLs

� Long term supply is robust; positioned in strong areas of Montney and Duvernay plays

� Liquids rich gas driving production to satisfy condensate demand and extract other liquids value to enhance producer netbacks

� Propane and ethane supply require access to export markets to unlock full value

� West Coast LNG unlikely before 2021-2025 time frame; Production ramp up required supports utilization of Alliance

� Limited economic alternatives to Alliance; Deep cut facility economics remain challenged

� Current NGTL and Westcoast pipeline capacity constraints in the receipt system should continue to provide strong demand for APL seasonal and IT services through 2017

Aux Sable adds Fractionation Capacity in 2016

� Aux Sable has worked with producers developing liquids rich plays in Canada, producing some of North America’s most liquids rich gas

� $130 million expansion of the Channahon fractionation facility will add 24,500 barrels per day in propane and butane fractionation capacity increasing total NGL specification recovery capacity to 131,500 barrels per day

� Target in service date in 2016 is supported by rich gas premium agreements

� Additional fractionation capacity and a right to extract NGL’s from natural gas transported on Alliance provides a unique, high value, total energy delivery system

Alliance Provides Economic Uplift for Producers

DAILY OIL BULLETIN (May 19, 2016): “Shippers who have locked in liquids-rich natural gas volumes on the full-to-the-brim Alliance pipeline are currently benefitting, fetching stronger U.S.-based pricing at Chicago City Gate, stronger price realizations for liquids, all the while avoiding the price pinch and glut at AECO.”

CREW ENERGY (May 5, 2016): “Realized a 15% improvement in natural gas pricing over the previous quarter despite a 26% decline quarter over quarter in AECO benchmark pricing, as a result of Crew’s firm transportation arrangement on the Alliance Pipeline system”

DELPHI ENERGY (May 11, 2016): “Achieved realized gas prices of $3.08 per mcf, prior to realized risk management gains, as a result of 88 percent of the Company’s natural gas sales now being shipped on the Alliance pipeline…”

SEVEN GENERATIONS (May 5, 2016): “By reaching the U.S. Midwest region, our first quarter realized natural gas price was $3.24 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf), up 24 percent from a year ago. ”

STORM RESOURCES (February 25, 2016): “On December 1, 2015, Storm began flowing gas on the Alliance Pipeline to Chicago which improved the natural gas price in December by

approximately $0.45 per Mcf over the equivalent BC Station 2 price.”
