R1214 (30) Printthispage Updated:April16,2012 https://www.ferc.gov/media/newsreleases/2012/20122/041612jordan.asp 1/1 Exhibit BB In allowing more exports, the U.S. may be trading away the enormous economic advantage of having large, low-cost domestic natural gas supply, Wyden said in an e-mailed statement on Jan. 6. Daily exports of 6 billion cubic feet, phased in over six years, would produce an increase as high as 14 percent in 2022. Boosting exports to 12 billion cubic feet over four years would drive prices up 36 percent in 2018, the report said. While natural gas exports would spur production, prices at the well would rise 54 percent in 2018 under a more pessimistic estimate by the agency of total gas resources, according to the report. Price changes for industrial consumers, on a percentage basis, tend to be lower than adjustments at the wellhead, the agency said in the report. Natural gas futures settled at a 10-year low yesterday, pushed down by low demand as milder weather during mild U.S. weather, and abundant supply from gas extracted from shale formations such as Marcellus in Pennsylvania. Natural gas for February delivery fell 1.6 cents to $2.472 per million British thermal units on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the lowest settlement since March 2002. Gas futures have tumbled 44 percent from a year ago. To contact the reporter on this story: Katarzyna Klimasinska in Washington
